Update to v102r02 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- I caved on the `samples[] = {0.0}` thing, but I'm very unhappy about it
- if it's really invalid C++, then GCC needs to stop accepting it
in strict `-std=c++14` mode
- Emulator::Interface::Information::resettable is gone
- Emulator::Interface::reset() is gone
- FC, SFC, MD cores updated to remove soft reset behavior
- split GameBoy::Interface into GameBoyInterface,
GameBoyColorInterface
- split WonderSwan::Interface into WonderSwanInterface,
WonderSwanColorInterface
- PCE: fixed off-by-one scanline error [hex_usr]
- PCE: temporary hack to prevent crashing when VDS is set to < 2
- hiro: Cocoa: removed (u)int(#) constants; converted (u)int(#)
types to (u)int_(#)t types
- icarus: replaced usage of unique with strip instead (so we don't
mess up frameworks on macOS)
- libco: added macOS-specific section marker [Ryphecha]
So ... the major news this time is the removal of the soft reset
behavior. This is a major!! change that results in a 100KiB diff file,
and it's very prone to accidental mistakes!! If anyone is up for
testing, or even better -- looking over the code changes between v102r01
and v102r02 and looking for any issues, please do so. Ideally we'll want
to test every NES mapper type and every SNES coprocessor type by loading
said games and power cycling to make sure the games are all cleanly
resetting. It's too big of a change for me to cover there not being any
issues on my own, but this is truly critical code, so yeah ... please
help if you can.
We technically lose a bit of hardware documentation here. The soft reset
events do all kinds of interesting things in all kinds of different
chips -- or at least they do on the SNES. This is obviously not ideal.
But in the process of removing these portions of code, I found a few
mistakes I had made previously. It simplifies resetting the system state
a lot when not trying to have all the power() functions call the reset()
functions to share partial functionality.
In the future, the goal will be to come up with a way to add back in the
soft reset behavior via keyboard binding as with the Master System core.
What's going to have to happen is that the key binding will have to send
a "reset pulse" to every emulated chip, and those chips are going to
have to act independently to power() instead of reusing functionality.
We'll get there eventually, but there's many things of vastly greater
importance to work on right now, so it'll be a while. The information
isn't lost ... we'll just have to pull it out of v102 when we are ready.
Note that I left the SNES reset vector simulation code in, even though
it's not possible to trigger, for the time being.
Also ... the Super Game Boy core is still disconnected. To be honest, it
totally slipped my mind when I released v102 that it wasn't connected
again yet. This one's going to be pretty tricky to be honest. I'm
thinking about making a third GameBoy::Interface class just for SGB, and
coming up with some way of bypassing platform-> calls when in this
mode.

Update to v100r14 release.
byuu says:
(Windows: compile with -fpermissive to silence an annoying error. I'll
fix it in the next WIP.)
I completely replaced the time management system in higan and overhauled
the scheduler.
Before, processor threads would have "int64 clock"; and there would
be a 1:1 relationship between two threads. When thread A ran for X
cycles, it'd subtract X * B.Frequency from clock; and when thread B ran
for Y cycles, it'd add Y * A.Frequency from clock. This worked well
and allowed perfect precision; but it doesn't work when you have more
complicated relationships: eg the 68K can sync to the Z80 and PSG; the
Z80 to the 68K and PSG; so the PSG needs two counters.
The new system instead uses a "uint64 clock" variable that represents
time in attoseconds. Every time the scheduler exits, it subtracts
the smallest clock count from all threads, to prevent an overflow
scenario. The only real downside is that rounding errors mean that
roughly every 20 minutes, we have a rounding error of one clock cycle
(one 20,000,000th of a second.) However, this only applies to systems
with multiple oscillators, like the SNES. And when you're in that
situation ... there's no such thing as a perfect oscillator anyway. A
real SNES will be thousands of times less out of spec than 1hz per 20
minutes.
The advantages are pretty immense. First, we obviously can now support
more complex relationships between threads. Second, we can build a
much more abstracted scheduler. All of libco is now abstracted away
completely, which may permit a state-machine / coroutine version of
Thread in the future. We've basically gone from this:
auto SMP::step(uint clocks) -> void {
clock += clocks * (uint64)cpu.frequency;
dsp.clock -= clocks;
if(dsp.clock < 0 && !scheduler.synchronizing()) co_switch(dsp.thread);
if(clock >= 0 && !scheduler.synchronizing()) co_switch(cpu.thread);
}
To this:
auto SMP::step(uint clocks) -> void {
Thread::step(clocks);
synchronize(dsp);
synchronize(cpu);
}
As you can see, we don't have to do multiple clock adjustments anymore.
This is a huge win for the SNES CPU that had to update the SMP, DSP, all
peripherals and all coprocessors. Likewise, we don't have to synchronize
all coprocessors when one runs, now we can just synchronize the active
one to the CPU.
Third, when changing the frequencies of threads (think SGB speed setting
modes, GBC double-speed mode, etc), it no longer causes the "int64
clock" value to be erroneous.
Fourth, this results in a fairly decent speedup, mostly across the
board. Aside from the GBA being mostly a wash (for unknown reasons),
it's about an 8% - 12% speedup in every other emulation core.
Now, all of this said ... this was an unbelievably massive change, so
... you know what that means >_> If anyone can help test all types of
SNES coprocessors, and some other system games, it'd be appreciated.
----
Lastly, we have a bitchin' new about screen. It unfortunately adds
~200KiB onto the binary size, because the PNG->C++ header file
transformation doesn't compress very well, and I want to keep the
original resource files in with the higan archive. I might try some
things to work around this file size increase in the future, but for now
... yeah, slightly larger archive sizes, sorry.
The logo's a bit busted on Windows (the Label control's background
transparency and alignment settings aren't working), but works well on
GTK. I'll have to fix Windows before the next official release. For now,
look on my Twitter feed if you want to see what it's supposed to look
like.
----
EDIT: forgot about ICD2::Enter. It's doing some weird inverse
run-to-save thing that I need to implement support for somehow. So, save
states on the SGB core probably won't work with this WIP.

Update to v100r03 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - moved Thread, Scheduler, Cheat functionality into emulator/ for all cores - start of actual Mega Drive emulation (two 68K instructions) I'm going to be rather terse on MD emulation, as it's too early for any meaningful dialogue here. |

Update to v099r13 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - GB core code cleanup completed - GBA core code cleanup completed - some more cleanup on missed processor/arm functions/variables - fixed FC loading icarus bug - "Load ROM File" icarus functionality restored - minor code unification efforts all around (not perfect yet) - MMIO->IO - mmio.cpp->io.cpp - read,write->readIO,writeIO It's been a very long work in progress ... starting all the way back with v094r09, but the major part of the higan code cleanup is now completed! Of course, it's very important to note that this is only for the basic style: - under_score functions and variables are now camelCase - return-type function-name() are now auto function-name() -> return-type - Natural<T>/Integer<T> replace (u)intT_n types where possible - signed/unsigned are now int/uint - most of the x==true,x==false tests changed to x,!x A lot of spot improvements to consistency, simplicity and quality have gone in along the way, of course. But we'll probably never fully finishing beautifying every last line of code in the entire codebase. Still, this is a really great start. Going forward, WIP diffs should start being smaller and of higher quality once again. I know the joke is, "until my coding style changes again", but ... this was way too stressful, way too time consuming, and way too risky. I'm too old and tired now for extreme upheavel like this again. The only major change I'm slowly mulling over would be renaming the using Natural<T>/Integer<T> = (u)intT; shorthand to something that isn't as easily confused with the (u)int_t types ... but we'll see. I'll definitely continue to change small things all the time, but for the larger picture, I need to just accept the style I have and live with it. |

Update to v098r17 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- fixed Super Game Boy regression from v096r04 with bottom tile row
flickering
- fixed GB STAT IRQ regression from previous WIP
- Altered Space is now playable
- GBVideoPlayer isn't; but nobody seems to know exactly what weird
hardware quirk that one relies on to work
- ~3-4% speed improvement in SuperFX games by eliminating function<>
callback on register assignments
- most noticeable in Doom in-game; least noticeable on Yoshi's Island
title screen (darn)
- finished GSU core and SuperFX coprocessor code cleanups
- did some more work cleaning up the LR35902 core and GB CPU code
Just a fair warning: don't get your hopes up on these GB
fixes. Cliffhanger now hangs completely (har har), and none of the
other bugs are fixed. We pretty much did all this work just for Altered
Space. So, I hope you like playing Altered Space.

Update to v098r16 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - GNUmakefile: reverted $(call unique,) to $(strip) - processor/r6502: removed templates; reduces object size from 146.5kb to 107.6kb - processor/lr35902: removed templates; reduces object size from 386.2kb to 197.4kb - processor/spc700: merged op macros for switch table declarations - sfc/coprocessor/sa1: partial cleanups; flattened directory structure - sfc/coprocessor/superfx: partial cleanups; flattened directory structure - sfc/coprocessor/icd2: flattened directory structure - gb/ppu: changed behavior of STAT IRQs Major caveat! The GB/GBC STAT IRQ changes has a major bug in it somewhere that's seriously breaking most games. I'm pushing the WIP anyway, because I believe the changes to be mostly correct. I'd like to get more people looking at these changes, and also try more heavy-handed hacking and diff comparison logging between the previous WIP and this one. |

Update to v098r13 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - nall/dsp returns with new iir/biquad.hpp and resampler/cubic.hpp files - nall/queue.hpp added (simple ring buffer ... nall/vector wouldn't cause too many moves with FIFO) - audio streams now only buffer 20ms; so even if multiple audio streams desync, latency can never exceed 20ms - replaced blackman windwed sinc FIR hermite audio filter with transposed direct form II biquadratic sixth-order IIR butterworth filter (better attenuation of frequencies above 20KHz, faster, no need for decimation, less code) - put in experimental eight-tap echo filter (a lot better than what I had before, but still rather weak) - substantial cleanups to the SuperFX GSU processor core (slightly faster, 479KB->100KB object file, 42.7KB->33.4KB source code size, way less code duplication) We'll definitely want to test the whole SuperFX library (not many games) just to make sure there's no regressions caused by this one. Not sure what I want to do with audio processing effects yet. I've always really wanted lots of fun controls to customize audio, and now finally with this new biquad filter, I can finally start implementing real effects. For instance, an equalizer wouldn't be too complicated anymore. The new reverb effect is still a poor man's version. I need to find human readable source for implementing a comb-filter properly. I'm pretty sure I can already treat nall::queue as an all-pass filter since all that does is phase shift (fancy audio term for "delay audio"). What's really going to be hard is figuring out how to expose user-friendly settings for controlling it. It looks like you need a bunch of coprime coefficients, and I don't think casual users are going to be able to hand-enter coprime values to get the echo effect they want. I uh ... don't even know how to calculate coprime values dynamically right now >_> But we're going to have to, as they are correlated to the output sampling rate. We'll definitely want to make some audio profiles so that users can quickly select pre-configured themes that sound nice, but expose the underlying coefficients so that they can tweak stuff to their liking. This isn't just about higan, this is about me trying to learn digital signal processing, so please don't be too upset about feature creep or anything on this. Anyway ... I'm having some difficulties with my audio right now. When the reverb effect is enabled, there's a bunch of static on system reset for just a moment. But this should not be possible. nall::queue is initializing all previous reverb sample elements to 0.0. I don't understand where static is coming in from. Further, we have the same issue with both the windowed sinc and the biquad filters ... a bit of a popping sound when starting a game. Any help tracking this down would be appreciated. There's also one really annoying issue ... I can't seem to do reverb or volume adjustments with normalized samples. If I say "volume *= 0.5" in higan/audio/audio.cpp line 68, it doesn't just halve the volume, it adds a whole bunch of distortion. This makes absolutely zero sense to me. The sample values are between 0.0 (mute) and 1.0 (full volume) here, so multiplying a double by 0.5 shouldn't cause distortion. So right now, I'm doing these adjustments with less precision after denormalizing back to int16. Anyone ever see something like that? :/ |

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.

Update to v098r01 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- SFC: balanced profile removed
- SFC: performance profile removed
- SFC: code for handling non-threaded CPU, SMP, DSP, PPU removed
- SFC: Coprocessor, Controller (and expansion port) shared Thread code
merged to SFC::Cothread
- Cothread here just means "Thread with CPU affinity" (couldn't think
of a better name, sorry)
- SFC: CPU now has vector<Thread*> coprocessors, peripherals;
- this is the beginning of work to allow expansion port devices to be
dynamically changed at run-time
- ruby: all audio drivers default to 48000hz instead of 22050hz now if
no frequency is assigned
- note: the WASAPI driver can default to whatever the native frequency
is; doesn't have to be 48000hz
- tomoko: removed the ability to change the frequency from the UI (but
it will display the frequency used)
- tomoko: removed the timing settings panel
- the goal is to work toward smooth video via adaptive sync
- the model is broken by not being in control of the audio frequency
anyway
- it's further broken by PAL running at 50hz and WSC running at 75hz
- it was always broken anyway by SNES interlace timing varying from
progressive timing
- higan: audio/ stub created (for now, it's just nall/dsp/ moved here
and included as a header)
- higan: video/ stub created
- higan/GNUmakefile: now includes build rules for essential components
(libco, emulator, audio, video)
The audio changes are in preparation to merge wareya's awesome WASAPI
work without the need for the nall/dsp resampler.

Update to v097r29 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- fixed DAS instruction (Judgment Silversword score)
- fixed [VH]TMR_FREQ writes (Judgement Silversword audio after area 20)
- fixed initialization of SP (fixes seven games that were hanging on
startup)
- added SER_STATUS and SER_DATA stubs (fixes four games that were
hanging on startup)
- initialized IEEP data (fixes Super Robot Taisen Compact 2 series)
- note: you'll need to delete your internal.com in WonderSwan
(Color).sys folders
- fixed CMPS and SCAS termination condition (fixes serious bugs in four
games)
- set read/writeCompleted flags for EEPROM status (fixes Tetsujin 28
Gou)
- major code cleanups to SFC/R65816 and SFC/CPU
- mostly refactored disassembler to output strings instead of using
char* buffer
- unrolled all the subfolders on sfc/cpu to a single directory
- corrected casing for all of sfc/cpu and a large portion of
processor/r65816
I kind of went overboard on the code cleanup with this WIP. Hopefully
nothing broke. Any testing one can do with the SFC accuracy core would
be greatly appreciated.
There's still an absolutely huge amount of work left to go, but I do
want to eventually refresh the entire codebase to my current coding
style, which is extremely different from stuff that's been in higan
mostly untouched since ~2006 or so. It's dangerous and fickle work, but
if I don't do it, then the code will be a jumbled mess of several
different styles.

Update to v097r15 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - higan now uses Natural<Size>/Integer<Size> for its internal types - Super Famicom emulation now uses uint24 instead of uint for bus addresses (it's a 24-bit bus) - cleaned up gb/apu MMIO writes - cleaned up sfc/coprocessor/msu1 MMIO writes - ~3% speed penalty I've wanted to do that 24-bit bus thing for so long, but have always been afraid of the speed impact. It's probably going to hurt balanced/performance once they compile again, but it wasn't significant enough to harm the accuracy core's frame rate, thankfully. Only lost one frame per second. The GBA core handlers are clearly going to take a lot more work. The bit-ranges will make it substantially easier to handle, though. Lots of 32-bit registers where certain values span multiple bytes, but we have to be able to read/write at byte-granularity. |

Update to v097r13 release.
byuu says: I refactored my schedulers. Added about ten lines to each scheduler, and removed about 100 lines of calling into internal state in the scheduler for the FC,SFC cores and about 30-40 lines for the other cores. All of its state is now private. Also reworked all of the entry points to static auto Enter() and auto main(). Where Enter() handles all the synchronization stuff, and main() doesn't need the while(true); loop forcing another layer of indentation everywhere. Took a few hours to do, but totally worth it. I'm surprised I didn't do this sooner. Also updated icarus gmake install rule to copy over the database. |

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. |
