Tim Allen 169e400437 Update to v094r32 release.
byuu says:

Lots more timing improvements to GBA emulation. We're now ahead of
everything but mGBA.

Mario & Luigi is still hanging in battles, so I guess my prefetch
simulation isn't as good as Cydrak's previous attempt, no surprise.

Tim Allen e0815b55b9 Update to v094r28 release.
byuu says:

This WIP substantially restructures the ruby API for the first time
since that project started.

It is my hope that with this restructuring, destruction of the ruby
objects should now be deterministic, which should fix the crashing on
closing the emulator on Linux. We'll see I guess ... either way, it
removed two layers of wrappers from ruby, so it's a pretty nice code
cleanup.

It won't compile on Windows due to a few issues I didn't see until
uploading the WIP, too lazy to upload another. But I fixed all the
compilation issues locally, so it'll work on Windows again with the next
WIP (unless I break something else.)

(Kind of annoying that Linux defines glActiveTexture but Windows
doesn't.)

Tim Allen 20cc6148cb Update to v094r27 release.
byuu says:

Added AWJ's fixes for alt/cpu (Tetris Attack framelines issue) and
alt/dsp (Thread::clock reset)

Added fix so that the taskbar entry appears when the application first
starts on Windows.

Fixed checkbox toggling inside of list views on Windows.

Updated nall/image to properly protect variables that should not be
written externally.

New Object syntax for hiro is in.

Fixed the backwards-typing on Windows with the state manager.
NOTE: the list view isn't redrawing when you change the description
text. It does so on the cheat editor because of the resizeColumns call;
but that shouldn't be necessary. I'll try and fix this for the next WIP.

Tim Allen a21ff570ee Update to v094r26 release (open beta).
byuu says:

Obviously, this is a fairly major WIP. It's the first public release in
17 months. The entire UI has been rewritten (for the 74th time), and is
now internally called tomoko. The official releases will be named higan
(both the binaries and title bar.)

Missing features from v094:

- ananke is missing (this means you will need v094 to create game
  folders to be loaded)
- key assignments are limited to one physical button = one mapping (no
  multi-mapping)
- shader support is missing
- audio/video profiling is missing
- DIP switch window is missing (used by NSS Actraiser with a special
  manifest; that's about it)
- alternate paths for game system folders and configuration BML files

There's some new stuff, but not much. This isn't going to be an exciting
WIP in terms of features. It's more about being a brand new release with
the brand new hiro port and its shared memory model. The goal is to get
these WIPs stable, get v095 out, and then finally start improving the
actual emulation again after that.

Tim Allen bb3c69a30d Update to v094r25 release.
byuu says:

Windows port should run mostly well now, although exiting fullscreen
breaks the application in a really bizarre way. (clicking on the window
makes it sink to background rather than come to the foreground o_O)

I also need to add the doModalChange => audio.clear() thing for the
accursed menu stuttering with DirectSound.

I also finished porting all of the ruby drivers over to the newer API
changes from nall.

Since I can't compile the Linux or OS X drivers, I have no idea if there
are any typos that will result in compilation errors. If so, please let
me know where they're at and I'll try and fix them. If they're simple,
please try and fix them on your end to test further if you can.

I'm hopeful the udev crash will be gone now that nall::string checks for
null char* values passed to its stringify function. Of course, it's
a problem it's getting a null value in the first place, so it may not
work at all.

If you can compile on Linux (or by some miracle, OS X), please test each
video/audio/input driver if you don't mind, to make sure there's no
"compiles okay but still typos exist" bugs.

byuu says:

Finally!! Compilation works once again on Windows.

However, it's pretty buggy. Modality isn't really working right, you can
still poke at other windows, but when you select ListView items, they
redraw as empty boxes (need to process WM_DRAWITEM before checking
modality.)

The program crashes when you close it (probably a ruby driver's term()
function, that's what it usually is.)

The Layout::setEnabled(false) call isn't working right, so you get that
annoying chiming sound and cursor movement when mapping keyboard keys to
game inputs.

The column sizing seems off a bit on first display for the Hotkeys tab.

And probably lots more.

Tim Allen 314aee8c5c Update to v094r23 release.
byuu says:

The library window is gone, and replaced with
hiro::BrowserWindow::openFolder(). This gives navigation capabilities to
game loading, and it also completes our slotted cart selection code. As
an added bonus, it's less code this way, too.

I also set the window size to consistent sizes between all emulated
systems, so that switching between SFC and GB don't cause the window
size to keep changing, and so that the scaling size is consistent (eg at
normal scale, GB @ 3x is closer to SNES @ 2x.) This means black borders
in GB/GBA mode, but it doesn't look that bad, and it's not like many
people ever use these modes anyway.

Finally, added the placeholder tabs for video, audio and timing. I don't
intend to add the timing calculator code to v095 (it might be better as
a separate tool), but I'll add the ability to set video/audio rates, at
least.

Glitch 1: despite selecting the first item in the BrowserDialog list, if
you press enter when the window appears, it doesn't activate the item
until you press an arrow key first.

Glitch 2: in Game Boy mode, if you set the 4x window size, it's not
honoring the full requested height because the viewport is smaller than
the window. 8+ years of trying to get GTK+ and Qt to simply set the god
damned window size I ask for, and I still can't get them to do it
reliably.

Remaining issues:
- finish configuration panels (video, audio, timing)
- fix ruby driver compilation on Windows
- add DIP switch selection window (NSS) [I may end up punting this one
  to v096]

Tim Allen 7bf4cff946 Update to v094r22 release.
byuu says:

I fixed the hiro layout enable bug, so when you go to assign joypad
input, the window disables itself so your input doesn't mess with the
controls.

I added "reset" to the hotkeys, in case you feel like clearing all of
them at once.

I added device selection support and the ability to disable audio
synchronization (run > 60fps) to the ruby/OSS driver. This is exposed in
tomoko's configuration file.

I added checks to stringify so that assigning null char* strings to
nall::string won't cause crashes anymore (technically the crash was in
strlen(), which doesn't check for null strings, but whatever ... I'll do
the check myself.)

I hooked up BrowserDialog::folderSelect() to loading slotted media for
now. Tested it by loading a Game Boy game successfully through the Super
Game Boy. Definitely want to write a custom window for this though, that
looks more like the library dialog.

Remaining issues:
- finish slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST)
- add DIP switch selection window (NSS) [I may end up punting this one
  to v096]
- add more configuration panels (video, audio, timing)

Tim Allen 99b2b4b57c Update to v094r21 release.
byuu says:

This updates ruby to return shared_pointer<HID::Device> objects instead
of HID::Device* objects. It also fixes an ID bug where joypads were
starting at ID# 2+, but mice were also set to ID# 2. I also revised
nall/hid a lot, with getters and setters instead of stabbing at internal
state. I didn't yet patch nall::string to safely consume nullptr const
char* values, though.

Tim Allen 4e0223d590 Update to v094r20 release.
byuu says:

Main reason for this WIP was because of all the added lines to hiro for
selective component disabling. May as well get all the diff-noise apart
from code changes.

It also merges something I've been talking to Cydrak about ... making
nall::string::(integer,decimal) do built-in binary,octal,hex decoding
instead of just failing on those. This will have fun little side effects
all over the place, like being able to view a topic on my forum via
"forum.byuu.org/topic/0b10010110", heh.

There are two small changes to higan itself, though. First up, I fixed
the resampler ratio when loading non-SNES games. Tested and I can play
Game Boy games fine now. Second, I hooked up menu option hiding for
reset and controller selection. Right now, this works like higan v094,
but I'm thinking I might want to show the "Device -> Controller" even if
that's all that's there. It kind of jives nicer with the input settings
window to see the labels there, I think. And if we ever do add more
stuff, it'll be nice that people already always expect that menu there.

Remaining issues:
* add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST)
* add DIP switch selection window (NSS)
* add timing configuration (video/audio sync)

Tim Allen 458775a481 Update to v094r19 release.
byuu says:

The input port menu was hooked up.

Alternate input support was added, although I wasn't able to test rumble
support because SDL doesn't support that, and I don't have XInput or
udev drivers on FreeBSD. This one's going to be tricky. Maybe I can test
via cross-compiling on Windows/GTK.

Added mouse capture hotkey, and auto capture/release on toggling
fullscreen (as a bonus it hides the mouse cursor.)

Added all possible video and input drivers to ruby for BSD systems.

Remaining issues before we can release v095:
- add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST)
- add DIP switch selection window (NSS)
- add timing configuration (video/audio sync)
- hide inapplicable options from system menu (eg controller ports and
  reset button from handheld systems)

Tim Allen 39ca8a2fab Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:

This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.

I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.

I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.

That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Tim Allen c335ee9d80 Update to v094r16 release.
byuu says:

Finished the cheat code system, it'll now load and save cheats.bml to
disk.

Also hooked up overscan masking. But for now you can only configure the
amount it clips via the configuration file, since I don't have a video
settings dialog anymore.

And that's the last of the low-hanging fruit. The remaining items are
all going to be a pain in the ass for one reason or another.

Short-term:
- add input port changing support
- add other input types (mouse-based, etc)

Long-term:
- add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST)
- add DIP switch selection window (NSS)
- add timing configuration (video/audio sync)

Not planned:
- video color adjustments (will allow emulated color vs raw color; but
  no more sliders)
- pixel shaders
- ananke integration (will need to make a command-line version to get my
  games in)
- fancy audio adjustment controls (resampler, latency, volume)
- input focus settings
- localization support (not enough users)
- window geometry memory
- anything else not in higan v094

byuu says:

Implemented the cheat database dialog, and most of the cheat editor
dialog. I still have to handle loading and saving the cheats.bml file
for each game. I wanted to finish it today, but I burned out. It's a ton
of really annoying work to support cheat codes. There's also some issue
with the width calculation for the "code(s)" column in hiro/GTK.

Short-term:
- add input port changing support
- add other input types (mouse-based, etc)
- finish cheat codes

Man, over five weeks have passed without so much as touching the
codebase ... time is advancing so fast it's positively frightening. Oh
well, little by little, and we'll get there eventually.

Changelog:
- added save state slots (1-5 in the menu)
- added hotkeys settings dialog + mapping system
- added fullscreen toggle (with a cute aspect correction trick)

About three hours of work here.

Tim Allen b4ba95242f Update to v094r13 release.
byuu says:

This version polishes up the input dialogue (reset, erase, disable
button when item not focused, split device ID from mapping name), adds
color emulation toggle, and add dummy menu items for remaining features
(to be filled in later.)

Also, it now compiles cleanly on Windows with GTK.

I didn't test with TDM-GCC-32, because for god knows what reason, the
32-bit version ships with headers from Windows 95 OSR2 only. So I built
with TDM-GCC-64 with arch=x86.

And uh, apparently, moving or resizing a window causes a Visual C++
runtime exception in the GTK+ DLLs. This doesn't happen with trance or
renshuu built with TDM-GCC-32. So, yeah, like I said, don't use -m32.

Tim Allen a1b2fb0124 Update to v094r12 release.
byuu says:

Changelog:
* added driver selection
* added video scale + aspect correction settings
* added A/V sync + audio mute settings
* added configuration file
* fixed compilation bugs under Windows and Linux
* fixed window sizing
* removed HSU1
* the system menu stays as "System", because "Game Boy Advance" was too
  long a string for the smallest scale size
* some more stuff

You guys probably won't be ecstatic about the video sizing options, but
it's basically your choice of 1x, 2x or 4x scale with optional aspect
correction. 3x was intentionally skipped because it looks horrible on
hires SNES games. The window is resized and recentered upon loading
games. The window doesn't resize otherwise. I never really liked the way
v094 always left you with black screen areas and left you with
off-centered window positions.

I might go ahead and add the pseudo-fullscreen toggle that will jump
into 4x mode (respecting your aspect setting.)

Short-term:
* add input port changing support
* add other input types (mouse-based, etc)
* add save states
* add cheat codes
* add timing configuration (video/audio sync)
* add hotkeys (single state)

We can probably do a new release once the short-term items are
completed.

Long-term:
* add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST)
* add DIP switch selection window (NSS)
* add cheat code database
* add state manager

Tim Allen 4a069761f9 Update to v094r11 release.
byuu says:

I've hooked up the input subsystem, and the input manager to assign
hotkeys.

So far I only have digital buttons working (keyboard only), and I'm not
planning on supporting input groups again (mapping multiple physical
buttons to one emulated button), but it's progress. As with the rest of
tomoko, the code's a lot more compact. The nice thing about redoing code
so many times is that each time you get a little bit better at it.

The input configuration is saved to ~/.config/tomoko/settings.bml (just
realized that I'm an idiot and need to rename it to input.bml)

Also hooked up game saves and cartridge unloading. Active controller
changing isn't hooked up yet, and I'll probably do it differently.

Oh, and I declared the ruby lines for other platforms.

Still need to add Cydrak's Windows compilation fixes. I am nothing if
not lazy :P

byuu says:

This starts the tomoko UI. So far I have basic library loading and
video+audio output. Basically just enough to take the below screenshot.
(aside from Library, the menus are empty stubs.)

The .sys (system) game folders are now going under ~/Emulation/System,
to avoid needing root privileges to stick them into /usr/share. The game
library now shows all bootable media types, and the drop-down subtype is
gone. I'm going to display a separate modal dialog for loading slotted
games this time around. Much cleaner this way, less clutter.

tomoko's starting off a lot cleaner than ethos was, and I'm scaling back
the number of abstracted classes. What was Utility, Interface, etc are
now being merged all into Program. Of course, the real hell is the input
system. That has so many layers of bullshit that there's really no sane
way to write it.
