Update to v101r11 release. byuu says: Changelog: - 68K: fixed NEG/NEGX operand order - 68K: fixed bug in disassembler that was breaking trace logging - VDP: improved sprite rendering (still 100% broken) - VDP: added horizontal/vertical scrolling (90% broken) Forgot: - 68K: fix extension word sign bit on indexed modes for disassembler as well - 68K: emulate STOP properly (use r.stop flag; clear on IRQs firing) I'm really wearing out fast here. The Genesis documentation is somehow even worse than Game Boy documentation, but this is a far more complex system. It's a massive time sink to sit here banging away at every possible combination of how things could work, only to see no positive improvements. Nothing I do seems to get sprites to do a goddamn thing. squee says the sprite Y field is 10-bits, X field is 9-bits. genvdp says they're both 10-bits. BlastEm treats them like they're both 10-bits, then masks off the upper bit so it's effectively 9-bits anyway. Nothing ever bothers to tell you whether the horizontal scroll values are supposed to add or subtract from the current X position. Probably the most basic detail you could imagine for explaining horizontal scrolling and yet ... nope. Nothing. I can't even begin to understand how the VDP FIFO functionality works, or what the fuck is meant by "slots". I'm completely at a loss as how how in the holy hell the 68K works with 8-bit accesses. I don't know whether I need byte/word handlers for every device, or if I can just hook it right into the 68K core itself. This one's probably the most major design detail. I need to know this before I go and implement the PSG/YM2612/IO ports-\>gamepads/Z80/etc. Trying to debug the 68K is murder because basically every game likes to start with a 20,000,000-instruction reset phase of checksumming entire games, and clearing out the memory as agonizingly slowly as humanly possible. And like the ARM, there's too many registers so I'd need three widescreen monitors to comfortably view the entire debugger output lines onscreen. I can't get any test ROMs to debug functionality outside of full games because every **goddamned** test ROM coder thinks it's acceptable to tell people to go fetch some toolchain from a link that died in the late '90s and only works on MS-DOS 6.22 to build their fucking shit, because god forbid you include a 32KiB assembled ROM image in your fucking archives. ... I may have to take a break for a while. We'll see.

It's spaces when not used, and seems to be 0x02000001-0x02003fff for the Shining games. I don't understand why it starts at 0x02000001 instead of 0x02000000. So I'm just forcing every game to have 32KB of RAM for now. There's also special handling for ROMs > 2MB that also have RAM (Phantasy Star IV, etc) where there's a toggle to switch between ROM and RAM. For now, that's not emulated. I was hoping the Shining games would run after this, but they're still dead-locking on me :( ²: Cydrak pointed out some flaws in my attempt to implement what he had. I was having trouble understanding what he meant, so I went back and read the docs on the sound chip and tried implementing the counter the way the docs describe. Hopefully I have this right, but I don't know of any good test ROMs to make sure my noise emulation is correct. The docs say the shifted-out value goes to the output instead of the low bit of the LFSR, so I made that change as well. I think I hear the noise I'm supposed to in Sonic Marble Zone now, but it seems like it's not correct in Green Hill Zone, adding a bit of an annoying buzz to the background music. Maybe it sounds better with the YM2612, but more likely, I still screwed something up :/ ³: it's set to 50% range for both cores right now. For the MD, it will need to be 25% once YM2612 emulation is in. ⁴: technically, this deadlocks the VDP until a hard reset. I could emulate this, but for now I just don't do the VRAM copy in this case. ⁵: VSRAM fill and CRAM fill not supported in this new mode. They're technically undocumented, and I don't have good notes on how they work. I've been seeing conflicting notes on whether the VRAM fill buffer is 8-bits or 16-bits (I chose 8-bits), and on whether you write the low byte and then high byte of each words, or the high byte and then low byte (I chose the latter.) The VRAM copy improvements fix the opening text in Langrisser II, so that's great. ⁶: Langrisser II sets the transfer length to one less than needed to fill the background letter tile on the scenario overview screen. After moving to byte-sized transfers, a black pixel was getting stuck there. So effectively, VRAM fill length becomes DMA length + 1, and the first byte uses the data port so it writes a word value instead of just a byte value. Hopefully this is all correct, although it probably gets way more complicated with the VDP FIFO.

Update to v101r07 release. byuu says: Added VDP sprite rendering. Can't get any games far enough in to see if it actually works. So in other words, it doesn't work at all and is 100% completely broken. Also added 68K exceptions and interrupts. So far only the VDP interrupt is present. It definitely seems to be firing in commercial games, so that's promising. But the implementation is almost certainly completely wrong. There is fuck all of nothing for documentation on how interrupts actually work. I had to find out the interrupt vector numbers from reading the comments from the Sonic the Hedgehog disassembly. I have literally no fucking clue what I0-I2 (3-bit integer priority value in the status register) is supposed to do. I know that Vblank=6, Hblank=4, Ext(gamepad)=2. I know that at reset, SR.I=7. I don't know if I'm supposed to block interrupts when I is >, >=, <, <= to the interrupt level. I don't know what level CPU exceptions are supposed to be. Also implemented VDP regular DMA. No idea if it works correctly since none of the commercial games run far enough to use it. So again, it's horribly broken for usre. Also improved VDP fill mode. But I don't understand how it takes byte-lengths when the bus is 16-bit. The transfer times indicate it's actually transferring at the same speed as the 68K->VDP copy, strongly suggesting it's actually doing 16-bit transfers at a time. In which case, what happens when you set an odd transfer length? Also, both DMA modes can now target VRAM, VSRAM, CRAM. Supposedly there's all kinds of weird shit going on when you target VSRAM, CRAM with VDP fill/copy modes, but whatever. Get to that later. Also implemented a very lazy preliminary wait mechanism to to stall out a processor while another processor exerts control over the bus. This one's going to be a major work in progress. For one, it totally breaks the model I use to do save states with libco. For another, I don't know if a 68K->VDP DMA instantly locks the CPU, or if it the CPU could actually keep running if it was executing out of RAM when it started the DMA transfer from ROM (eg it's a bus busy stall, not a hard chip stall.) That'll greatly change how I handle the waiting. Also, the OSS driver now supports Audio::Latency. Sound should be even lower latency now. On FreeBSD when set to 0ms, it's absolutely incredible. Cannot detect latency whatsoever. The Mario jump sound seems to happen at the very instant I hear my cherry blue keyswitch activate.

I need to know this before I go and implement the PSG/YM2612/IO ports-\>gamepads/Z80/etc. Trying to debug the 68K is murder because basically every game likes to start with a 20,000,000-instruction reset phase of checksumming entire games, and clearing out the memory as agonizingly slowly as humanly possible. And like the ARM, there's too many registers so I'd need three widescreen monitors to comfortably view the entire debugger output lines onscreen. I can't get any test ROMs to debug functionality outside of full games because every **goddamned** test ROM coder thinks it's acceptable to tell people to go fetch some toolchain from a link that died in the late '90s and only works on MS-DOS 6.22 to build their fucking shit, because god forbid you include a 32KiB assembled ROM image in your fucking archives. ... I may have to take a break for a while. We'll see.
