Update to v103r09 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- gba/apu: fixed wave RAM nibble ordering (fixes audio in Castlevania,
PocketNES)
- emulator: restructured video information to just a single
videoResolution() → VideoResolution function
- returns "projected size" (between 160x144 and 320x240)
- "internal buffer size" (up to 1280x480)
- returns aspect correction multiplier that is to be applied to
the width field
- the value could be < 1.0 to handle systems with taller
pixels; although higan doesn't emulate such a system
- tomoko: all calculations for scaling and overscan masking are done
by the GUI now
- tomoko: aspect correction can be enabled in either windowed or
fullscreen mode separately; moved to Video settings panel
- tomoko: video scaling multipliers (against 320x240) can now me
modified from the default (2,3,4) via the configuration file
- use this as a really barebones way of supporting high DPI
monitors; although the GUI elements won't scale nicely
- if you set a value less than two, or greater than your
resolution divided by 320x240, it's your own fault when things
blow up. I'm not babysitting anyone with advanced config-file
only options.
- tomoko: added new adaptive windowed mode
- when enabled, the window will shrink to eliminate any black
borders when loading a game or changing video settings. The
window will not reposition itself.
- tomoko: added new adaptive fullscreen mode
- when enabled, the integral scaling will be disabled for
fullscreen mode, forcing the video to fill at least one
direction of the video monitor completely.
I expect we will be bikeshedding for the next month on how to describe
the new video options, where they should appear in the GUI, changes
people want, etc ... but suffice to say, I'm happy with the
functionality, so I don't intend to make changes to -what- things do,
but I will entertain better ways to name things.

Update to v103r08 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- emulator: improved aspect correction accuracy by using
floating-point calculations
- emulator: added videoCrop() function, extended videoSize() to take
cropping parameters¹
- tomoko: the overscan masking function will now actually resize the
viewport²
- gba/cpu: fixed two-cycle delay on triggering DMAs; not running DMAs
when the CPU is stopped
- md/vdp: center video when overscan is disabled
- pce/vce: resize video output from 1140x240 to 1120x240
- tomoko: resize window scaling from 326x240 to 320x240
- tomoko: changed save slot naming and status bar messages to indicate
quick states vs managed states
- tomoko: added increment/decrement quick state hotkeys
- tomoko: save/load quick state hotkeys now save to slots 1-5 instead
of always to 0
- tomoko: increased overscan range from 0-16 to 0-24 (in case you want
to mask the Master System to 240x192)
¹: the idea here was to decouple raw pixels from overscan masking.
Overscan was actually horrifically broken before. The Famicom outputs at
256x240, the Super Famicom at 512x480, and the Mega Drive at 1280x480.
Before, a horizontal overscan mask of 8 would not reduce the Super
Famicom or Mega Drive by nearly as much as the Famicom. WIth the new
videoCrop() function, the internals of pixel size distortions can be
handled by each individual core.
²: furthermore, by taking optional cropping information in
videoSize(), games can scale even larger into the viewport window. So
for example, before the Super Famicom could only scale to 1536x1440. But
by cropping the vertical resolution by 6 (228p effectively, still more
than NTSC can even show), I can now scale to 1792x1596. And wiht aspect
correction, that becomes a perfect 8:7 ratio of 2048x1596, giving me
perfectly crisp pixels without linear interpolation being required.
Errata: for some reason, when I save a new managed state with the SFC
core, the default description is being set to a string of what looks to
be hex numbers. I found the cause ... I'll fix this in the next release.
Note: I'd also like to hide the "find codes..." button if cheats.bml
isn't present, as well as update the SMP TEST register comment from
smp/timing.cpp

Update to v102r22 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- higan: Emulator::Interface::videoSize() renamed to videoResolution()
- higan: Emulator::Interface::rtcsync() renamed to rtcSynchronize()
- higan: added video display rotation support to Video
- GBA: substantially improved audio mixing
- fixed bug with FIFO 50%/100% volume setting
- now properly using SOUNDBIAS amplitude to control output
frequencies
- reduced quantization noise
- corrected relative volumes between PSG and FIFO channels
- both PSG and FIFO values cached based on amplitude; resulting in
cleaner PCM samples
- treating PSG volume=3 as 200% volume instead of 0% volume now
(unverified: to match mGBA)
- GBA: properly initialize ALL CPU state; including the vital
prefetch.wait=1 (fixes Classic NES series games)
- GBA: added video rotation with automatic key translation support
- PCE: reduced output resolution scalar from 285x242 to 285x240
- the extra two scanlines won't be visible on most TVs; and they
make all other cores look worse
- this is because all other cores output at 240p or less; so they
were all receiving black bars in windowed mode
- tomoko: added "Rotate Display" hotkey setting
- tomoko: changed hotkey multi-key logic to OR instead of AND
- left support for flipping it back inside the core; for those so
inclined; by uncommenting one line in input.hpp
- tomoko: when choosing Settings→Configuration, it will
automatically select the currently loaded system
- for instance, if you're playing a Game Gear game, it'll take you
to the Game Gear input settings
- if no games are loaded, it will take you to the hotkeys panel
instead
- WS(C): merged "Hardware-Vertical", "Hardware-Horizontal" controls
into combined "Hardware"
- WS(C): converted rotation support from being inside the core to
using Emulator::Video
- this lets WS(C) video content scale larger now that it's not
bounded by a 224x224 square box
- WS(C): added automatic key rotation support
- WS(C): removed emulator "Rotate" key (use the general hotkey
instead; I recommend F8 for this)
- nall: added serializer support for nall::Boolean (boolean) types
- although I will probably prefer the usage of uint1 in most cases

Update to v102r13 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- removed Emulator::Interface::videoFrequency(), audioFrequency()¹
- (MS,GG,MD)/PSG: removed inversion on noise channel LFSR update
[mic_]
- MD/PSG: lowered volume to match YM2612 volume
- MD/YM2612: added Cydrak's emulation of FM channels and LFO²
¹: These were no longer used by the UI. The video frequency is
adaptive on many systems. And the audio frequency is meaningless due to
Emulator::Audio always outputting a consistent frequency specified by
the UI. Plus, take the Genesis where there's two sound chips running at
different frequencies. So, these had to go.
²: Due to some lurking bugs, the audio is completely broken
unfortunately. Will need to be debugged :(
First pass looking for any typos didn't yield any obvious results.

Update to v102r10 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - removed Emulator::Interface::Capabilities¹ - MS: improved the PSG emulation a bit - MS: added cheat code support - MS: added save state support² - MD: emulated the PSG³ ¹: there's really no point to it anymore. I intend to add cheat codes to the GBA core, as well as both cheat codes and save states to the Mega Drive core. I no longer intend to emulate any new systems, so these values will always be true. Further, the GUI doesn't respond to these values to disable those features anymore ever since the hiro rewrite, so they're double useless. ²: right now, the Z80 core is using a pointer for HL-\>(IX,IY) overrides. But I can't reliably serialize pointers, so I need to convert the Z80 core to use an integer here. The save states still appear to work fine, but there's the potential for an instruction to execute incorrectly if you're incredibly unlucky, so this needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Further, I still need a way to serialize array<T, Size> objects, and I should also add nall::Boolean serialization support. ³: I don't have a system in place to share identical sound chips. But this chip is so incredibly simple that it's not really much trouble to duplicate it. Further, I can strip out the stereo sound support code from the Game Gear portion, so it's even tinier. Note that the Mega Drive only just barely uses the PSG. Not at all in Altered Beast, and only for a tiny part of the BGM music on Sonic 1, plus his jump sound effect. |

[Jonas Quinn]
The big thing I wanted to do was enslave the VDC(s) to the VCE. But
unfortunately, I forgot about the asynchronous DMA channels that each
VDC supports, so this isn't going to be possible I'm afraid.
In the most demanding case, Daimakaimura in-game, we're looking at 85fps
on my Xeon E3 1276v3. So ... not great, and we don't even have sound
connected yet.
We are going to have to profile and optimize this code once sound
emulation and save states are in.
Basically, think of it like this: the VCE, VDC0, and VDC1 all have the
same overhead, scheduling wise (which is the bulk of the performance
loss) as the dot-renderer for the SNES core. So it's like there's three
bsnes-accuracy PPU threads running just for video.
-----
Oh, just a fair warning ... the hooks for the SGB are a work in
progress.
If anyone is working on higan or a fork and want to do something similar
to it, don't use it as a template, at least not yet.
Right now, higan looks like this:
- Emulator::Video handles the platform→videoRefresh calls
- Emulator::Audio handles the platform→audioSample calls
- each core hard-codes the platform→inputPoll, inputRumble calls
- each core hard-codes calls to path, open, load to process files
- dipSettings and notify are specialty hacks, neither are even hooked
up right now to anything
With the SGB, it's an emulation core inside an emulation core, so
ideally you want to hook all of those functions. Emulator::Video and
Emulator::Audio aren't really abstractions over that, as the GB core
calls them and we have to special case not calling them in SGB mode.
The path, open, load can be implemented without hooks, thanks to the UI
only using one instance of Emulator::Platform for all cores. All we have
to do is override the folder path ID for the "Game Boy.sys" folder, so
that it picks "Super Game Boy.sfc/" and loads its boot ROM instead.
That's just a simple argument to GameBoy::System::load() and we're done.
dipSettings, notify and inputRumble don't matter. But we do also have to
hook inputPoll as well.
The nice idea would be for SuperFamicom::ICD2 to inherit from
Emulator::Platform and provide the desired functions that we need to
overload. After that, we'd just need the GB core to keep an abstraction
over the global Emulator::platform\* handle, to select between the UI
version and the SFC::ICD2 version.
However ... that doesn't work because of Emulator::Video and
Emulator::Audio. They would also have to gain an abstraction over
Emulator::platform\*, and even worse ... you'd have to constantly swap
between the two so that the SFC core uses the UI, and the GB core uses
the ICD2.
And so, for right now, I'm checking Model::SuperGameBoy() -> bool
everywhere, and choosing between the UI and ICD2 targets that way. And
as such, the ICD2 doesn't really need Emulator::Platform inheritance,
although it certainly could do that and just use the functions it needs.
But the SGB is even weirder, because we need additional new signals
beyond just Emulator::Platform, like joypWrite(), etc.
I'd also like to work on the Emulator::Stream for the SGB core. I don't
see why we can't have the GB core create its own stream, and let the
ICD2 just use that instead. We just have to be careful about the ICD2's
CPU soft reset function, to make sure the GB core's Stream object
remains valid. What I think that needs is a way to release an
Emulator::Stream individually, rather than calling
Emulator::Audio::reset() to do it. They are shared\_pointer objects, so
I think if I added a destructor function to remove it from
Emulator::Audio::streams, then that should work.

Update to v101r32 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - SMS: fixed controller connection bug - SMS: fixed Z80 reset bug - PCE: emulated HuC6280 MMU - PCE: emulated HuC6280 RAM - PCE: emulated HuCard ROM reading - PCE: implemented 178 instructions - tomoko: removed "soft reset" functionality - tomoko: moved "power cycle" to just above "unload" option I'm not sure of the exact number of HuC6280 instructions, but it's less than 260. Many of the ones I skipped are HuC6280-originals that I don't know how to emulate just yet. I'm also really unsure about the zero page stuff. I believe we should be adding 0x2000 to the addresses to hit page 1, which is supposed to be mapped to the zero page (RAM). But when I look at turboEMU's source, I have no clue how the hell it could possibly be doing that. It looks to be reading from page 0, which is almost always ROM, which would be ... really weird. I also don't know if I've emulated the T mode opcodes correctly or not. The documentation on them is really confusing. |

Update to v101r31 release.
byuu says:
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.

Update to v101r28 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- SMS: emulated the remaining 240 instructions in the (0xfd, 0xdd)
0xcb (displacement) (opcode) set
- 1/8th of these were "legal" instructions, and apparently games
use them a lot
- SMS: emulated the standard gamepad controllers
- reset button not emulated yet
The reset button is tricky. In every other case, reset is a hardware
thing that instantly reboots the entire machine.
But on the SMS, it's more like a gamepad button that's attached to the
front of the device. When you press it, it fires off a reset vector
interrupt and the gamepad polling routine lets you query the status of
the button.
Just having a reset option in the "Master System" hardware menu is not
sufficient to fully emulate the behavior. Even more annoying is that the
Game Gear doesn't have such a button, yet the core information structs
aren't flexible enough for the Master System to have it, and the Game
Gear to not have it, in the main menu. But that doesn't matter anyway,
since it won't work having it in the menu for the Master System.
So as a result, I'm going to have to have a new "input device" called
"Hardware" that has the "Reset" button listed under there. And for the
sake of consistency, I'm not sure if we should treat the other systems
the same way or not :/
