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

Update to v099r07 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- (hopefully) fixed BS Memory and Sufami Turbo slot loading
- ported GB, GBA, WS cores to use nall/vfs
- completely removed loadRequest, saveRequest functionality from
Emulator::Interface and ui-tomoko
- loadRequest(folder) is now load(folder)
- save states now use a shared Emulator::SerializerVersion string
- whenever this is bumped, all older states will break; but this makes
bumping state versions way easier
- also, the version string makes it a lot easier to identify
compatibility windows for save states
- SNES PPU now uses uint16 vram[32768] for memory accesses [hex_usr]
NOTE: Super Game Boy loading is currently broken, and I'm not entirely
sure how to fix it :/
The file loading handoff was -really- complicated, and so I'm kind of
at a loss ... so for now, don't try it.
Everything else should theoretically work, so please report any bugs
you find.
So, this is pretty much it. I'd be very curious to hear feedback from
people who objected to the old nall/stream design, whether they are
happy with the new file loading system or think it could use further
improvements.
The 16-bit VRAM turned out to be a wash on performance (roughly the same
as before. 1fps slower on Zelda 3, 1fps faster on Yoshi's Island.) The
main reason for this was because Yoshi's Island was breaking horribly
until I changed the vramRead, vramWrite functions to take uint15 instead
of uint16.
I suspect the issue is we're using uint16s in some areas now that need
to be uint15, and this game is setting the VRAM address to 0x8000+,
causing us to go out of bounds on memory accesses.
But ... I want to go ahead and do something cute for fun, and just because
we can ... and this new interface is so incredibly perfect for it!! I
want to support an SNES unit with 128KiB of VRAM. Not out of the box,
but as a fun little tweakable thing. The SNES was clearly designed to
support that, they just didn't use big enough VRAM chips, and left one
of the lines disconnected. So ... let's connect it anyway!
In the end, if we design it right, the only code difference should be
one area where we mask by 15-bits instead of by 16-bits.

Update to v099 release.
byuu says:
Time for a new release. There are a few important emulation improvements
and a few new features; but for the most part, this release focuses on
major code refactoring, the details of which I will mostly spare you.
The major change is that, as of v099, the SNES balanced and performance
cores have been removed from higan. Basically, in addition to my five
other emulation cores, these were too much of a burden to maintain. And
they've come along as far as I was able to develop them. If you need to
use these cores, please use these two from the v098 release.
I'm very well aware that ~80% of the people using higan for SNES
emulation were using the two removed profiles. But they simply had
to go. Hopefully in the future, we can compensate for their loss by
increasing the performance of the accuracy core.
Changelog (since v098):
SFC: balanced profile removed
SFC: performance profile removed
SFC: expansion port devices can now be changed during gameplay (atlhough
you shouldn't)
SFC: fixed bug in SharpRTC leap year calculations
SFC: emulated new research findings for the S-DD1 coprocessor
SFC: fixed CPU emulation-mode wrapping bug with pei, [dp], [dp]+y
instructions [AWJ]
SFC: fixed Super Game Boy bug that caused the bottom tile-row to flicker
in games
GB: added MBC1M (multi-cart) mapper; icarus can't detect these so manual
manifests are needed for now
GB: corrected return value when HuC3 unmapped RAM is read; fixes Robopon
[endrift]
GB: improved STAT IRQ emulation; fixes Altered Space, etc [endrift,
gekkio]
GB: partial emulation of DMG STAT write IRQ bug; fixes Legend of Zerd,
Road Rash, etc
nall: execute() fix, for some Linux platforms that had trouble detecting
icarus
nall: new BitField class; which allows for simplifying flag/register
emulation in various cores
ruby: added Windows WASAPI audio driver (experimental)
ruby: remove attempts to call glSwapIntervalEXT (fixes crashing on some
Linux systems)
ui: timing settings panel removed
video: restored saturation, gamma, luminance settings
video: added new post-emulation sprite system; light gun cursors are
now higher-resolution
audio: new resampler (6th-order Butterworth biquad IIR); quite a bit
faster than the old one
audio: added optional basic reverb filter (for fun)
higan: refresh video outside cooperative threads (workaround for shoddy
code in AMD graphics drivers)
higan: individual emulation cores no longer have unique names
higan: really substantial code refactoring; 43% reduction in binary size
Off the bat, here are the known bugs:
hiro/Windows: focus stealing bug on startup. Needs to be fixed in hiro,
not with a cheap hack to tomoko.
higan/SFC: some of the coprocessors are saving some volatile memory to
disk. Completely harmless, but still needs to be fixed.
ruby/WASAPI: some sound cards have a lot of issues with the current driver
(eg FitzRoy's). We need to find a clean way to fix this before it
can be made the default driver. Which would be a huge win because
the latency improvements are substantial, and in exclusive mode,
WASAPI allows G-sync to work very well.
[From the v099 WIP thread, here's the changelog since v098r19:
- GB: don't force mode 1 during force-blank; fixes v098r16 regression
with many Game Boy games
- GB: only perform the STAT write IRQ bug during vblank, not hblank
(still not hardware accurate, though)
-Ed.]

Update to v098r06 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- emulation cores now refresh video from host thread instead of
cothreads (fix AMD crash)
- SFC: fixed another bug with leap year months in SharpRTC emulation
- SFC: cleaned up camelCase on function names for
armdsp,epsonrtc,hitachidsp,mcc,nss,sharprtc classes
- GB: added MBC1M emulation (requires manually setting mapper=MBC1M in
manifest.bml for now, sorry)
- audio: implemented Emulator::Audio mixer and effects processor
- audio: implemented Emulator::Stream interface
- it is now possible to have more than two audio streams: eg SNES
+ SGB + MSU1 + Voicer-Kun (eventually)
- audio: added reverb delay + reverb level settings; exposed balance
configuration in UI
- video: reworked palette generation to re-enable saturation, gamma,
luminance adjustments
- higan/emulator.cpp is gone since there was nothing left in it
I know you guys are going to say the color adjust/balance/reverb stuff
is pointless. And indeed it mostly is. But I like the idea of allowing
some fun special effects and configurability that isn't system-wide.
Note: there seems to be some kind of added audio lag in the SGB
emulation now, and I don't really understand why. The code should be
effectively identical to what I had before. The only main thing is that
I'm sampling things to 48000hz instead of 32040hz before mixing. There's
no point where I'm intentionally introducing added latency though. I'm
kind of stumped, so if anyone wouldn't mind taking a look at it, it'd be
much appreciated :/
I don't have an MSU1 test ROM, but the latency issue may affect MSU1 as
well, and that would be very bad.

Update to v098r05 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- WS/WSC: re-added support for screen rotation (code is inside WS core)
- ruby: changed sample(uint16_t left, uint16_t right) to sample(int16_t
left, int16_t right);
- requires casting to uint prior to shifting in each driver, but
I felt it was misleading to use uint16_t just to avoid that
- ruby: WASAPI is now built in by default; has wareya's improvements,
and now supports latency adjust
- tomoko: audio settings panel has new "Exclusive Mode" checkbox for
WASAPI driver only
- note: although the setting *does* take effect in real-time, I'd
suggest restarting the emulator after changing it
- tomoko: audio latency can now be set to 0ms (which in reality means
"the minimum supported by the driver")
- all: increased cothread size from 512KiB to 2MiB to see if it fixes
bullshit AMD driver crashes
- this appears to cause a slight speed penalty due to cache locality
going down between threads, though

Update to v098r02 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - SFC: fixed a regression on auto joypad polling due to missing parentheses - SFC: exported new PPU::vdisp() const -> uint; function [1] - SFC: merged PPU MMIO functions into the read/write handles (as I previously did for the CPU) - higan: removed individual emulator core names (bnes, bsnes, bgb, bgba, bws) [2] Forgot: - to remove /tomoko from the about dialog [1] note that technically I was relying on the cached, per-frame overscan setting when the CPU and light guns were polling the number of active display scanlines per frame. This was technically incorrect as you can change this value mid-frame and it'll kick in. I've never seen any game toggle overscan every frame, we only know about this because anomie tested this a long time ago. So, nothing should break, but ... you know how the SNES is. You can't even look at the code without something breaking, so I figured I'd mention it >_> [2] I'll probably keep referring to the SNES core as bsnes anyway. I don't mind if you guys use the b<system> names as shorthand. The simplification is mostly to make the branding easier. |

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 v097r28 release.
byuu says:
Changelog: (all WSC unless otherwise noted)
- fixed LINECMP=0 interrupt case (fixes FF4 world map during airship
sequence)
- improved CPU timing (fixes Magical Drop flickering and FF1 battle
music)
- added per-frame OAM caching (fixes sprite glitchiness in Magical Drop,
Riviera, etc.)
- added RTC emulation (fixes Dicing Knight and Judgement Silversword)
- added save state support
- added cheat code support (untested because I don't know of any cheat
codes that exist for this system)
- icarus: can now detect games with RTC chips
- SFC: bugfix to SharpRTC emulation (Dai Kaijuu Monogatari II)
- ( I was adding the extra leap year day to all 12 months instead of
just February ... >_< )
Note that the RTC emulation is very incomplete. It's not really
documented at all, and the two games I've tried that use it never even
ask you to set the date/time (so they're probably just using it to count
seconds.) I'm not even sure if I've implement the level-sensitive
behavior correctly (actually, now that I think about it, I need to mask
the clear bit in INT_ACK for the level-sensitive interrupts ...)
A bit worried about the RTC alarm, because it seems like it'll fire
continuously for a full minute. Or even if you turn it off after it
fires, then that doesn't seem to be lowering the line until the next
second ticks on the RTC, so that likely needs to happen when changing
the alarm flag.
Also not sure on this RTC's weekday byte. On the SharpRTC, it actually
computes this for you. Because it's not at all an easy thing to
calculate yourself in 65816 or V30MZ assembler. About 40 lines of code
to do it in C. For now, I'm requiring the program to calculate the value
itself.
Also note that there's some gibberish tiles in Judgement Silversword,
sadly. Not sure what's up there, but the game's still fully playable at
least.
Finally, no surprise: Beat-Mania doesn't run :P

Update to v097r24 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - WS: fixed bug when IRQs triggered during a rep string instruction - WS: added sprite attribute caching (per-scanline); absolutely massive speed-up - WS: emulated limit of 32 sprites per scanline - WS: emulated the extended PPU register bit behavior based on the DISP_CTRL tile bit-depth setting - WS: added "Rotate" key binding; can be used to flip the WS display between horizontal and vertical in real-time The prefix emulation may not be 100% hardware-accurate, but the edge cases should be extreme enough to not come up in the WS library. No way to get the emulation 100% down without intensive hardware testing. trap15 pointed me at a workflow diagram for it, but that diagram is impossible without a magic internal stack frame that grows with every IRQ, and can thus grow infinitely large. The rotation thing isn't exactly the most friendly set-up, but oh well. I'll see about adding a default rotation setting to manifests, so that games like GunPey can start in the correct orientation. After that, if the LCD orientation icon turns out to be reliable, then I'll start using that. But if there are cases where it's not reliable, then I'll leave it to manual button presses. Speaking of icons, I'll need a set of icons to render on the screen. Going to put them to the top right on vertical orientation, and on the bottom left for horizontal orientation. Just outside of the video output, of course. Overall, WS is getting pretty far along, but still some major bugs in various games. I really need sound emulation, though. Nobody's going to use this at all without that. |

Update to v097r22 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - WS: fixed lods, scas instructions - WS: implemented missing GRP4 instructions - WS: fixed transparency for screen one - WSC: added color-mode PPU rendering - WS+WSC: added packed pixel mode support - WS+WSC: added dummy sound register reads/writes - SFC: added threading to SuperDisc (it's hanging for right now; need to clear IRQ on $21e2 writes) SuperDisc Timer and Sound Check were failing before due to not turning off IRQs on $21e4 clear, so I'm happy that's fixed now. Riviera starts now, and displays the first intro screen before crashing. Huge, huge amounts of corrupted graphics, though. This game's really making me work for it :( No color games seem fully playable yet, but a lot of monochrome and color games are now at least showing more intro screen graphics before dying. This build defaults to horizontal orientation, but I left the inputs bound to vertical orientation. Whoops. I still need to implement a screen flip key binding. |

Update to v097r16 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - sfc/ppu/sprite updated to use new .bit(s) functions; masked sizes better; added valid flags instead of using magic numbers - ws/ppu updates to use new .bit(s) functions - ws/ppu: added line compare interrupt support - added ws/eeprom; emulation of WS/WSC internal EEPROM and cartridge EEPROM (1kbit - 16kbit supported) - added basic read/write handlers for remaining WS/WSC PPU registers WS EEPROM emulation is basically a direct copy of trap15's code. Still some unknown areas in there, but hopefully it's enough to get further into games that depend on EEPROM support. Note that you'll have to manually add the eeprom line to the manifest for now, as icarus doesn't know how to detect EEPROM/sizes yet. I figured the changes to the SNES PPU sprites would slow it down a tad, but it actually sped it up. Most of the impact from the integer classes are gone now. |

Update to v097r04 release.
byuu says: Lots of improvements. We're now able to start executing some V30MZ instructions. 32 of 256 opcodes implemented so far. I hope this goes without saying, but there's absolutely no point in loading WS/WSC games right now. You won't see anything until I have the full CPU and partial PPU implemented. ROM bank 2 works properly now, the I/O map is 16-bit (address) x 16-bit (data) as it should be*, and I have a basic disassembler in place (adding to it as I emulate new opcodes.) (* I don't know what happens if you access an 8-bit port in 16-bit mode or vice versa, so for now I'm just treating the handlers as always being 16-bit, and discarding the upper 8-bits when not needed.) |
