Changelog:

  - converted Emulator::Interface::Bind to Emulator::Platform
  - temporarily disabled SGB hooks
  - SMS: emulated Game Gear palette (latching word-write behavior not
    implemented yet)
  - SMS: emulated Master System 'Reset' button, Game Gear 'Start' button
  - SMS: removed reset() functionality, driven by the mappable input now
    instead
  - SMS: split interface class in two: one for Master System, one for
    Game Gear
  - SMS: emulated Game Gear video cropping to 160x144
  - PCE: started on HuC6280 CPU core—so far only registers, NOP
    instruction has been implemented

Errata:

  - Super Game Boy support is broken and thus disabled
  - if you switch between Master System and Game Gear without
    restarting, bad things happen:
      - SMS→GG, no video output on the GG
      - GG→SMS, no input on the SMS

I'm not sure what's causing the SMS\<-\>GG switch bug, having a hard
time debugging it. Help would be very much appreciated, if anyone's up
for it. Otherwise I'll keep trying to track it down on my end.

byuu says:

Changelog:
- Emulator::Interface::Medium::bootable removed
- Emulator::Interface::load(bool required) argument removed
  [File::Required makes no sense on a folder]
- Super Famicom.sys now has user-configurable properties (CPU,PPU1,PPU2
  version; PPU1 VRAM size, Region override)
- old nall/property removed completely
- volatile flags supported on coprocessor RAM files now (still not in
  icarus, though)
- (hopefully) fixed SNES Multitap support (needs testing)
- fixed an OAM tiledata range clipping limit in 128KiB VRAM mode (doesn't
  fix Yoshi's Island, sadly)
- (hopefully, again) fixed the input polling bug hex_usr reported
- re-added dialog box for when File::Required files are missing
  - really cool: if you're missing a boot ROM, BIOS ROM, or IPL ROM,
    it warns you immediately
  - you don't have to select a game before seeing the error message
    anymore
- fixed cheats.bml load/save location

Tim Allen f48b332c83 Update to v099r08 release.
byuu says:

Changelog:
- nall/vfs work 100% completed; even SGB games load now
- emulation cores now call load() for the base cartridges as well
- updated port/device handling; portmask is gone; device ID bug should
  be resolved now
- SNES controller port 1 multitap option was removed
- added support for 128KiB SNES PPU VRAM (for now, edit sfc/ppu/ppu.hpp
  VRAM::size=0x10000; to enable)

Overall, nall/vfs was a huge success!! We've substantially reduced
the amount of boilerplate code everywhere, while still allowing (even
easier than before) support for RAM-based game loading/saving. All of
nall/stream is dead and buried.

I am considering removing Emulator::Interface::Medium::id and/or
bootable flag. Or at least, doing something different with it. The
values for the non-bootable GB/BS/ST entries duplicate the ID that is
supposed to be unique. They are for GB/GBC and WS/WSC. Maybe I'll use
this as the hardware revision selection ID, and then gut non-bootable
options. There's really no reason for that to be there. I think at one
point I was using it to generate library tabs for non-bootable systems,
but we don't do that anymore anyway.

Emulator::Interface::load() may not need the required flag anymore ... it
doesn't really do anything right now anyway.

I have a few reasons for having the cores load the base cartridge. Most
importantly, it is going to enable a special mode for the WonderSwan /
WonderSwan Color in the future. If we ever get the IPLROMs dumped ... it's
possible to boot these systems with no games inserted to set user profile
information and such. There are also other systems that may accept being
booted without a cartridge. To reach this state, you would load a game and
then cancel the load dialog. Right now, this results in games not loading.

The second reason is this prevents nasty crashes when loading fails. So
if you're missing a required manifest, the emulator won't die a violent
death anymore. It's able to back out at any point.

The third reason is consistency: loading the base cartridge works the
same as the slot cartridges.

The fourth reason is Emulator::Interface::open(uint pathID)
values. Before, the GB, SB, GBC modes were IDs 1,2,3 respectively. This
complicated things because you had to pass the correct ID. But now
instead, Emulator::Interface::load() returns maybe<uint> that is nothing
when no game is selected, and a pathID for a valid game. And now open()
can take this ID to access this game's folder contents.

The downside, which is temporary, is that command-line loading is
currently broken. But I do intend on restoring it. In fact, I want to do
better than before and allow multi-cart booting from the command-line by
specifying the base cartridge and then slot cartridges. The idea should
be pretty simple: keep a queue of pending filenames that we fill from
the command-line and/or drag-and-drop operations on the main window,
and then empty out the queue or prompt for load dialogs from the UI
when booting a system. This also might be a bit more unorthodox compared
to the traditional emulator design of "loadGame(filename)", but ... oh
well. It's easy enough still.

The port/device changes are fun. We simplified things quite a bit. The
portmask stuff is gone entirely. While ports and devices keep IDs,
this is really just sugar-coating so UIs can use for(auto& port :
emulator->ports) and access port.id; rather than having to use for(auto
n : range(emulator->ports)) { auto& port = emulator->ports[n]; ... };
but they should otherwise generally be identical to the order they appear
in their respective ranges. Still, don't rely on that.

Input::id is gone. There was no point since we also got rid of the nasty
Input::order vector. Since I was in here, I went ahead and caved on the
pedantics and renamed Input::guid to Input::userData.

I removed the SNES controller port 1 multitap option. Basically, the only
game that uses this is N-warp Daisakusen and, no offense to d4s, it's
not really a good game anyway. It's just a quick demo to show 8-players
on the SNES. But in the UI, all it does is confuse people into wasting
time mapping a controller they're never going to use, and they're going
to wonder which port to use. If more compelling use cases for 8-players
comes about, we can reconsider this. I left all the code to support this
in place, so all you have to do is uncomment one line to enable it again.

We now have dsnes emulation! :D
If you change PPU::VRAM::size to 0x10000 (words), then you should now
have 128KiB of VRAM. Even better, it serializes the used-VRAM size,
so your save states shouldn't crash on you if you swap between the two
(though if you try this, you're nuts.)

Note that this option does break commercial software. Yoshi's Island in
particular. This game is setting A15 on some PPU register writes, but
not on others. The end result of this is things break horribly in-game.

Also, this option is causing a very tiny speed hit for obvious reasons
with the variable masking value (I'm even using size-1 for now.) Given
how niche this is, I may just leave it a compile-time constant to avoid
the overhead cost. Otherwise, if we keep the option, then it'll go into
Super Famicom.sys/manifest.bml ... I'll flesh that out in the near-future.

Finally, some fun for my OCD ... my monitor suddenly cut out on me
in the middle of working on this WIP, about six hours in of non-stop
work. Had to hit a bunch of ctrl+alt+fN commands (among other things)
and trying to log in headless on another TTY to do issue commands,
trying to recover the display. Finally power cycled the monitor and it
came back up. So all my typing ended up going to who knows where.

Usually this sort of thing terrifies me enough that I scrap a WIP and
start over to ensure I didn't screw anything up during the crashed screen
when hitting keys randomly.

Obviously, everything compiles and appears to work fine. And I know
it's extremely paranoid, but OCD isn't logical, so ... I'm going
to go over every line of the 100KiB r07->r08 diff looking for any
corruption/errors/whatever.

----

Review finished.

r08 diff review notes:
- fc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp:
  use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...;
- gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp:
  remove redundant uint _pathID; (in Information::pathID already)
- gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp:
  pull sha256 inside Information
- sfc/cartridge/load/cpp:
  add " - Slot (A,B)" to interface->load("Sufami Turbo"); to be more
  descriptive
- sfc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp:
  use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...;
- sfc/interface/interface.cpp:
  remove n variable from the Multitap device input generation loop
  (now unused)
- sfc/interface/interface.hpp:
  put struct Port above struct Device like the other classes
- ui-tomoko:
  cheats.bml is reading from/writing to mediumPaths(0) [system folder
  instead of game folder]
- ui-tomoko:
  instead of mediumPaths(1) - call emulator->metadataPathID() or something
  like that

Tim Allen ae5d380d06 Update to v098r11 release.
byuu says:

Changelog:
- fixed nall/path.hpp compilation issue
- fixed ruby/audio/xaudio header declaration compilation issue (again)
- cleaned up xaudio2.hpp file to match my coding syntax (12.5% of the
  file was whitespace overkill)
- added null terminator entry to nall/windows/utf8.hpp argc[] array
- nall/windows/guid.hpp uses the Windows API for generating the GUID
  - this should stop all the bug reports where two nall users were
    generating GUIDs at the exact same second
- fixed hiro/cocoa compilation issue with uint# types
- fixed major higan/sfc Super Game Boy audio latency issue
- fixed higan/sfc CPU core bug with pei, [dp], [dp]+y instructions
- major cleanups to higan/processor/r65816 core
  - merged emulation/native-mode opcodes
  - use camel-case naming on memory.hpp functions
  - simplify address masking code for memory.hpp functions
  - simplify a few opcodes themselves (avoid redundant copies, etc)
  - rename regs.* to r.* to match modern convention of other CPU cores
- removed device.order<> concept from Emulator::Interface
  - cores will now do the translation to make the job of the UI easier
- fixed plurality naming of arrays in Emulator::Interface
  - example: emulator.ports[p].devices[d].inputs[i]
  - example: vector<Medium> media
- probably more surprises

Major show-stoppers to the next official release:
- we need to work on GB core improvements: LY=153/0 case, multiple STAT
  IRQs case, GBC audio output regs, etc.
- we need to re-add software cursors for light guns (Super Scope,
  Justifier)
- after the above, we need to fix the turbo button for the Super Scope

I really have no idea how I want to implement the light guns. Ideally,
we'd want it in higan/video, so we can support the NES Zapper with the
same code. But this isn't going to be easy, because only the SNES knows
when its output is interlaced, and its resolutions can vary as
{256,512}x{224,240,448,480} which requires pixel doubling that was
hard-coded to the SNES-specific behavior, but isn't appropriate to be
exposed in higan/video.

Tim Allen 1929ad47d2 Update to v098r03 release.
byuu says:

It took several hours, but I've rebuilt much of the SNES' bus memory
mapping architecture.

The new design unifies the cartridge string-based mapping
("00-3f,80-bf:8000-ffff") and internal bus.map calls. The map() function
now has an accompanying unmap() function, and instead of a fixed 256
callbacks, it'll scan to find the first available slot. unmap() will
free slots up when zero addresses reference a given slot.

The controllers and expansion port are now both entirely dynamic.
Instead of load/unload/power/reset, they only have the constructor
(power/reset/load) and destructor (unload). What this means is you can
now dynamically change even expansion port devices after the system is
loaded.

Note that this is incredibly dangerous and stupid, but ... oh well. The
whole point of this was for 21fx. There's no way to change the expansion
port device prior to loading a game, but if the 21fx isn't active, then
the reset vector hijack won't work. Now you can load a 21fx game, change
the expansion port device, and simply reset the system to active the
device.

The unification of design between controller port devices and expansion
port devices is nice, and overall this results in a reduction of code
(all of the Mapping stuff in Cartridge is gone, replaced with direct bus
mapping.) And there's always the potential to expand this system more in
the future now.

The big missing feature right now is the ability to push/pop mappings.
So if you look at how the 21fx does the reset vector, you might vomit
a little bit. But ... it works.

Also changed exit(0) to _exit(0) in the POSIX version of nall::execute.

[The _exit(0) thing is an attempt to make higan not crash when it tries
to launch icarus and it's not on $PATH. The theory is that higan forks,
then the child tries to exec icarus and fails, so it exits, all the
unique_ptrs clean up their resources and tell the X server to free
things the parent process is still using. Calling _exit() prevents
destructors from running, and seems to prevent the problem. -Ed.]

This is a few days old, but oh well.

This WIP changes nall,hiro,ruby,icarus back to (u)int(8,16,32,64)_t.

I'm slowly pushing for (u)int(8,16,32,64) to use my custom
Integer<Size>/Natural<Size> classes instead. But it's going to be one
hell of a struggle to get that into higan.

Tim Allen 47d4bd4d81 Update to v096r01 release.
byuu says:

Changelog:

- restructured the project and removed a whole bunch of old/dead
  directives from higan/GNUmakefile
- huge amounts of work on hiro/cocoa (compiles but ~70% of the
  functionality is commented out)
- fixed a masking error in my ARM CPU disassembler [Lioncash]
- SFC: decided to change board cic=(411,413) back to board
  region=(ntsc,pal) ... the former was too obtuse

If you rename Boolean (it's a problem with an include from ruby, not
from hiro) and disable all the ruby drivers, you can compile an
OS X binary, but obviously it's not going to do anything.

It's a boring WIP, I just wanted to push out the project structure
change now at the start of this WIP cycle.

Tim Allen 4e2eb23835 Update to v093 release.
byuu says:

Changelog:
- added Cocoa target: higan can now be compiled for OS X Lion
  [Cydrak, byuu]
- SNES/accuracy profile hires color blending improvements - fixes
  Marvelous text [AWJ]
- fixed a slight bug in SNES/SA-1 VBR support caused by a typo
- added support for multi-pass shaders that can load external textures
  (requires OpenGL 3.2+)
- added game library path (used by ananke->Import Game) to
  Settings->Advanced
- system profiles, shaders and cheats database can be stored in "all
  users" shared folders now (eg /usr/share on Linux)
- all configuration files are in BML format now, instead of XML (much
  easier to read and edit this way)
- main window supports drag-and-drop of game folders (but not game files
  / ZIP archives)
- audio buffer clears when entering a modal loop on Windows (prevents
  audio repetition with DirectSound driver)
- a substantial amount of code clean-up (probably the biggest
  refactoring to date)

One highly desired target for this release was to default to the optimal
drivers instead of the safest drivers, but because AMD drivers don't
seem to like my OpenGL 3.2 driver, I've decided to postpone that. AMD
has too big a market share. Hopefully with v093 officially released, we
can get some public input on what AMD doesn't like.

Tim Allen 94b2538af5 Update to higan v091 release.
byuu says:

Basically just a project rename, with s/bsnes/higan and the new icon
from lowkee added in.

It won't compile on Windows because I forgot to update the resource.rc
file, and a path transform command isn't working on Windows.
It was really just meant as a starting point, so that v091 WIPs can flow
starting from .00 with the new name (it overshadows bsnes v091, so
publicly speaking this "shouldn't exist" and will probably be deleted
from Google Code when v092 is ready.)
