Update to v106r3 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- Super Famicom: update to newer board markup syntax
- Super Famicom: update all mapped ROMs to be write-protected
- errata: SPC7110 set ram.writeProtect(true), I'll fix it in the
next WIP
- icarus: rewrote the Super Famicom heuristics module from scratch
Instead of icarus heuristics generating higan-specific mappings, it now
generates generic board IDs that can be used by any emulator. I had
originally planned to print out real PCB ID codes here, but these board
mappings are meant to be more generic, and I don't want them to look
real. The pseudo-codes are easy to parse, for example: `DSP-LOROM-NVRAM`
for Super Mario Kart, `SUPERFX-RAM` for Doom.
I'm going to make a `Boards (Generic).bml` file that will contain mapping
definitions for every board. Until this is done, any games not in the SNES
preservation database will fail to play because the mapping information is
now missing.

Fixed: Restore SPC7110 and S-RTC time properly
Loading and unloading the RTC is a little odd, since it's normally always powered in the first place. What we want, and what the load() functions really do, is to resync using the saved timestamps or reset it. unload() proper doesn't do anything. However, an interface refactoring after v098 reordered the above operations, and this (along with a typo, shh!) was causing the already synced time to be cleared. I've added checks so that whenever rtc.ram can't be found, load() gets called with empty arguments to initialise the defaults (like putting in a fresh battery). |

Update to v104r05 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- emulator/random: new array function with more realistic RAM
initializations
- emulator/random: both low and high entropy register initializations
now use PCG
- gba/player: rumble will time out and disable after being left on for
500ms; fixes Pokemon Pinball issue
- ruby/input/udev: fixed rumble effects [ma\_rysia]
- sfc/system: default to low-entropy randomization of memory
The low-entropy memory randomization is modeled after one of my SHVC
2/1/3 systems. It generates striped patterns in memory, using random
inputs (biased to 0x00/0xff), and has a random chance of corrupting 1-2
bits of random values in the pool of memory (to prevent easy emulator
detection and to match observed results on hardware.)
The reasoning for using PCG on register initializations, is that I don't
believe they're going to have repeating patterns like RAM does anyway.
And register initializations are way more vital.
I want to have the new low-entropy RAM mode tested, so at least for the
next few WIPs, I've set the SNES randomization over to low-entropy.
We'll have to have a long discussion and decide whether we want official
releases to use high-entropy or low-entropy.
Also, I figured out the cause of the Prince of Persia distortion ... I
had the volume under the audio settings tab set to 200%. I didn't
realize there were SNES games that clipped so easily, given how
incredibly weak SNES audio is compared to every other sound source on my
PC. So with no entropy or low-entropy, indeed the game now sounds just
fine.
I can't actually test the udev fixes, so I guess we'll see how that goes
for Screwtape and ma\_rysia.

Update to v104r04 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- higan/emulator: added new Random class with three entropy settings:
none, low, and high
- md/vdp: corrected Vcounter readout in interlace mode [MoD]
- sfc: updated core to use the new Random class; defaults to high
entropy
No entropy essentially returns 0, unless the random.bias(n) function is
called, in which case, it returns n. In this case, n is meant to be the
"logical/ideal" default value that maximizes compatibility with games.
Low entropy is a very simple entropy modeled after RAM initialization
striping patterns (eg 32 0x00s, followed by 32 0xFFs, repeating
throughout.) It doesn't "glitch" like real hardware does on rare
occasions (parts of the pattern being broken from time to time.) It also
only really returns 0 or ~0. So the entropy is indeed extremely low, and
not very useful at all for detecting bugs. Over time, we can try to
improve this, of course.
High entropy is PCG. This replaces the older, lower-entropy and more
predictable, LFSR. PCG should be more than enough for emulator
randomness, while still being quite fast.
Unfortunately, the bad news ... both no entropy and low entropy fix the
Konami logo popping sound in Prince of Persia, but all three entropy
settings still cause the distortion in-game, especially evident at the
title screen. So ... this may be a more serious bug than first
suspected.

Update to v102r28 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- higan: `Emulator::<Platform::load>()` now returns a struct containing
both a path ID and a string option
- higan: `Emulator::<Platform::load>()` now takes an optional final
argument of string options
- fc: added PAL emulation (finally, only took six years)
- md: added PAL emulation
- md: fixed address parameter to `VDP::Sprite::write()`; fixes missing
sprites in Super Street Fighter II
- md: emulated HIRQ counter; fixes many games
- Super Street Fighter II - status bar

- ms: added PAL emulation
- sfc: added the ability to override the default region auto-detection
- sfc: removed "system.region" override setting from `Super Famicom.sys`
- tomoko: added options list to game folder load dialog window
- tomoko: added the ability to specify game folder load options on the
command-line
So, basically ... Sega forced a change with the way region detection
works. You end up with games that can run on multiple regions, and the
content changes accordingly. Bare Knuckle in NTSC-J mode will become
Streets of Rage in NTSC-U mode. Some games can even run in both NTSC and
PAL mode.
In my view, there should be a separate ROM for each region a game was
released in, even if the ROM content were identical. But unfortunately
that's not how things were done by anyone else.
So to support this, the higan load dialog now has a drop-down at the
bottom-right, where you can choose the region to load games from. On the
SNES, it defaults to "Auto", which will pull the region setting from the
manifest, or fall back on NTSC. On the Mega Drive ... unfortunately, I
can't auto-detect the region from the ROM header. $1f0 is supposed to
contain a string like "JUE", but instead you get games like Maui Mallard
that put an "A" there, and other such nonsense. Sega was far more lax
than Nintendo with the ROM header validity. So for now at least, you
have to manually select your region every time you play a Mega Drive
game, thus you have "NTSC-J", "NTSC-U", and "PAL". The same goes for the
Master System for the same reason, but there's only "NTSC" and "PAL"
here. I'm not sure if games have a way to detect domestic vs
international consoles.
And for now ... the Famicom is the same as well, with no auto-detection.
I'd sincerely hope iNES has a header bit for the region, but I didn't
bother with updating icarus to support that yet.
The way to pass these parameters on the command-line is to prefix the
game path with "option:", so for example:
higan "PAL:/path/to/Sonic the Hedgehog (USA, Europe).md"
If you don't provide a prefix, it uses the default (NTSC-J, NTSC, or
Auto.) Obviously, it's not possible to pass parameters with
drag-and-drop, so you will always get the default option in said case.

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,

- 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 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.

Update to v099r06 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - Super Famicom core converted to use nall/vfs - excludes Super Game Boy; since that's invoked from inside the GB core This was definitely the major obstacle to test nall/vfs' applicability. Things worked out pretty great in the end. We went from 22.0KiB (cartridge) + 18.6KiB (interface) to 24.5KiB (cartridge) + 11.4KiB (interface). Or 40.7KiB to 36.0KiB. This removes a very large source of indirection. Before it was: "coprocessor <=> cartridge <=> interface" for loading and saving data, and now it's just "coprocessor <=> cartridge". And it may make sense to eventually turn this into just "cartridge -> coprocessor" by making each coprocessor class handle its own markup parsing. It's nice to have all the manifest parsing in one location (well, sans MSU1); but it's also nice for loading/unloading to be handled by each coprocessor itself. So I'll have to think longer about that one. I've also started handling Interface::save() differently. Instead of keeping track of memory IDs and filenames, and iterating through that vector of objects ... instead I now have a system that mirrors the markup parsing on loading, but handles saving instead. This was actually the reason the code size savings weren't more significant, but I like this style more. As before, it removes an extra level of indirection. So ... next up, I need to port over the GB, then GBA, then WS cores. These shouldn't take too long since they're all very simple with just ROM+RAM(+RTC) right now. Then get the SGB callbacks using vfs. Then after that, gut all the old stream stuff from nall and higan. Kill the (load,save)Request stuff, rename the load(Gamepak)Request to something simpler, and then we should be good. Anyway ... these are some huge changes. |

Update to v099r03 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - finished cleaning up the SFC core to my new coding conventions - removed sfc/controller/usart (superseded by 21fx) - hid Synchronize Video option from the menu (still in the configuration file) Pretty much the only minor detail left is some variable names in the SA-1 core that really won't look good at all if I move to camelCase, so I'll have to rethink how I handle those. It's probably a good area to attempt using BitFields, to see how it impacts performance. But I'll do that in a test branch first. But for the most part, this should be the end of the gigantic diffs (this one was 174KiB), at least for the SFC/WS cores. Still have the FC/GB/GBA cores to clean up more fully. Assuming we don't spot any new regressions, we should be ~95% out of the woods on code cleanups breaking things. |

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 v098r04 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - SFC: fixed behavior of 21fx $21fe register when no device is connected (must return zero) - SFC: reduced 21fx buffer size to 1024 bytes in both directions to mirror the FT232H we are using - SFC: eliminated dsp/modulo-array.hpp [1] - higan: implemented higan/video interface and migrated all cores to it [2] [1] the echo history buffer was 8-bytes, so there was no need for it at all here. Not sure what I was thinking. The BRR buffer was 12-bytes, and has very weird behavior ... but there's only a single location in the code where it actually writes to this buffer. It's much easier to just write to the buffer three times there instead of implementing an entire class just to abstract away two lines of code. This change actually boosted the speed from ~124.5fps to around ~127.5fps, but that's within the margin of error for GCC. I doubt it's actually faster this way. The DSP core could really use a ton of work. It comes from a port of blargg's spc_dsp to my coding style, but he was extremely fond of using 32-bit signed integers everywhere. There's a lot of opportunity to remove red tape masking by resizing the variables to their actual state sizes. I really need to find where I put spc_dsp6.sfc from blargg. It's a great test to verify if I've made any mistakes in my implementation that would cause regressions. Don't suppose anyone has it? [2] so again, the idea is that higan/audio and higan/video are going to sit between the emulation cores and the user interfaces. The hope is to output raw encoding data from the emulation cores without having to worry about the video display format (generally 24-bit RGB) of the host display. And also to avoid having to repeat myself with eg three separate implementations of interframe blending, and so on. Furthermore, the idea is that the user interface can configure its side of the settings, and the emulation cores can configure their sides. Thus, neither has to worry about the other end. And now we can spin off new user interfaces much easier without having to mess with all of these things. Right now, I've implemented color emulation, interframe blending and SNES horizontal color bleed. I did not implement scanlines (and interlace effects for them) yet, but I probably will at some point. Further, for right now, the WonderSwan/Color screen rotation is busted and will only show games in the horizontal orientation. Obviously this must be fixed before the next official release, but I'll want to think about how to implement it. Also, the SNES light gun pointers are missing for now. Things are a bit messy right now as I've gone through several revisions of how to handle these things, so a good house cleaning is in order once everything is feature-complete again. I need to sit down and think through how and where I want to handle things like light gun cursors, LCD icons, and maybe even rasterized text messages. And obviously ... higan/audio is still just nall::DSP's headers. I need to revamp that whole interface. I want to make it quite powerful with a true audio mixer so I can handle things like SNES+SGB+MSU1+Voicer-Kun+SNES-CD (five separate audio streams at once.) The video system has the concept of "effects" for things like color bleed and interframe blending. I want to extend on this with useful other effects, such as NTSC simulation, maybe bringing back my mini-HQ2x filter, etc. I'd also like to restore the saturation/gamma/luma adjustment sliders ... I always liked allowing people to compensate for their displays without having to change settings system-wide. Lastly, I've always wanted to see some audio effects. Although I doubt we'll ever get my dream of CoreAudio-style profiles, I'd like to get some basic equalizer settings and echo/reverb effects in there. |

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.]

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.

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. |

But there's basic code in there for all the horizontal stuff. |

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 v097r12 release.
byuu says: Nothing WS-related this time. First, I fixed expansion port device mapping. On first load, it was mapping the expansion port device too late, so it ended up not taking effect. I had to spin out the logic for that into Program::connectDevices(). This was proving to be quite annoying while testing eBoot (SNES-Hook simulation.) Second, I fixed the audio->set(Frequency, Latency) functions to take (uint) parameters from the configuration file, so the weird behavior around changing settings in the audio panel should hopefully be gone now. Third, I rewrote the interface->load,unload functions to call into the (Emulator)::System::load,unload functions. And I have those call out to Cartridge::load,unload. Before, this was inverted, and Cartridge::load() was invoking System::load(), which I felt was kind of backward. The Super Game Boy really didn't like this change, however. And it took me a few hours to power through it. Before, I had the Game Boy core dummying out all the interface->(load,save)Request calls, and having the SNES core make them for it. This is because the folder paths and IDs will be different between the two cores. I've redesigned things so that ICD2's Emulator::Interface overloads loadRequest and saveRequest, and translates the requests into new requests for the SuperFamicom core. This allows the Game Boy code to do its own loading for everything without a bunch of Super Game Boy special casing, and without any awkwardness around powering on with no cartridge inserted. This also lets the SNES side of things simply call into higher-level GameBoy::interface->load,save(id, stream) functions instead of stabbing at the raw underlying state inside of various Game Boy core emulation classes. So things are a lot better abstracted now. |

Update to v097r01 release.
byuu says: A minor WIP to get us started. Changelog: - System::Video merged to PPU::Video - System::Audio merged to DSP::Audio - System::Configuration merged to Interface::Settings - created emulator/emulator.cpp and accompanying object file for shared code between all cores Currently, emulator.cpp just holds a videoColor() function that takes R16G16B16, performs gamma/saturation/luma adjust, and outputs (currently) A8R8G8B8. It's basically an internal function call for cores to use when generating palette entries. This code used to exist inside ui-tomoko/program/interface.cpp, but we have to move it internal for software display emulation. But in the future, we could add other useful cross-core functionality here. |

Update to v096r07 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - configuration files are now stored in localpath() instead of configpath() - Video gamma/saturation/luminance sliders are gone now, sorry - added Video Filter->Blur Emulation [1] - added Video Filter->Scanline Emulation [2] - improvements to GBA audio emulation (fixes Minish Cap) [Jonas Quinn] [1] For the Famicom, this does nothing. For the Super Famicom, this performs horizontal blending for proper pseudo-hires translucency. For the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance, this performs interframe blending (each frame is the average of the current and previous frame), which is important for things like the GBVideoPlayer. [2] Right now, this only applies to the Super Famicom, but it'll come to the Famicom in the future. For the Super Famicom, this option doesn't just add scanlines, it simulates the phosphor decay that's visible in interlace mode. If you observe an interlaced game like RPM Racing on a real SNES, you'll notice that even on perfectly still screens, the image appears to shake. This option emulates that effect. Note 1: the buffering right now is a little sub-optimal, so there will be a slight speed hit with this new support. Since the core is now generating native ARGB8888 colors, it might as well call out to the interface to lock/unlock/refresh the video, that way it can render directly to the screen. Although ... that might not be such a hot idea, since the GBx interframe blending reads from the target buffer, and that tends to be a catastrophic option for performance. Note 2: the balanced and performance profiles for the SNES are completely busted again. This WIP took 6 1/2 hours, and I'm exhausted. Very much not looking forward to working on those, since those two have all kinds of fucked up speedup tricks for non-interlaced and/or non-hires video modes. Note 3: if you're on Windows and you saved your system folders somewhere else, now'd be a good time to move them to %localappdata%/higan |

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

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. |

Update to v092r09 release.
byuu says:
This will be another massive diff from the previous version.
All of higan was updated to use the new foo& bar syntax, and I also
updated switch statements to be consistent as well (but not in the
disassemblers, was starting to get an RSI just from what I already did.)
phoenix/{windows, cocoa, qt} need to be updated to use "string foo"
instead of "const string& foo", and after that, the major diffs should
be finished.
This archive is the first time I'm posting my copy-on-write,
size+capacity nall::string class, so any feedback on that is welcome as
well.

I trust AWJ's code, and all of the test ROMs I have thrown at it all appear to work great. But better safe than sorry. Same deal for any core changes, it's a lot better to catch it now than after v093 is released. |

Update to v092 release.
In the release thread, byuu says:
The first official release of higan has been posted. higan is the
new name for bsnes, and it continues with the latter's version
numbering.
Note that as of now, bsnes still exists. It's a module distributed
inside of higan. bsnes is now specific to my SNES emulator.
Due to last minute changes to the emulator interface, and missing
support in ananke, I wasn't able to include Cydrak's Nintendo DS
emulator dasShiny in this build, but I hope to do so in the next
release.
http://code.google.com/p/higan/downloads/list
For both new and experienced users, please read the higan user guide
first:
http://byuu.org/higan/user-guide
In the v091 WIP thread, byuu says:
r15->r16:
- BS-X MaskROM handling (partial ... need to split bsx/flash away
from sfc/chip, restructure code - it requires tagging the base
cart markup for now, but it needs to parse the slotted cart
markup)
- phoenixflags / phoenixlink += -m32
- nall/sort stability
- if(input.poll(scancode[activeScancode]) == false) return;
- MSU1 / USART need to use interface->path(1)
- MSU1 needs to use Markup::Document, not XML::Document
- case-insensitive folder listings
- remove nall/emulation/system.hpp files (move to ananke)
- remove rom/ram id= checks with indexing
X have cores ask for manifest.bml (skipped for v092's release, too
big a change)
- rename compatibility profile to balanced (so people don't assume
it has better compatibility than accuracy)

byuu says:
I'd appreciate it if you guys wouldn't mind testing out the database
functionality.
Save this file as database.bml (remove the date) inside
~/.config/higan/Super Famicom.sfc/ or %APPDATA%/higan/Super Famicom.sfc/
http://byuu.org/snes/database/database_2012-10-21.bml
Now load any of the 20 games in the database from the file dialog. They
need to be named *.sfc, have no copier header, and have firmware
appended (for Mario Kart only so far.)
If anyone actually does test it, please let me know how it goes for you
and what you think. Note that future versions of higan will have the
database.bml file included with the release.

[No prior releases were posted to the WIP thread. -Ed.]
byuu says:
Super Famicom mapping system has been reworked as discussed with the
mask= changes. offset becomes base, mode is gone. Also added support for
comma-separated fields in the address fields, to reduce the number of
map lines needed.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cartridge region="NTSC">
<superfx revision="2">
<rom name="program.rom" size="0x200000"/>
<ram name="save.rwm" size="0x8000"/>
<map id="io" address="00-3f,80-bf:3000-32ff"/>
<map id="rom" address="00-3f:8000-ffff" mask="0x8000"/>
<map id="rom" address="40-5f:0000-ffff"/>
<map id="ram" address="00-3f,80-bf:6000-7fff" size="0x2000"/>
<map id="ram" address="70-71:0000-ffff"/>
</superfx>
</cartridge>
Or in BML:
cartridge region=NTSC
superfx revision=2
rom name=program.rom size=0x200000
ram name=save.rwm size=0x8000
map id=io address=00-3f,80-bf:3000-32ff
map id=rom address=00-3f:8000-ffff mask=0x8000
map id=rom address=40-5f:0000-ffff
map id=ram address=00-3f,80-bf:6000-7fff size=0x2000
map id=ram address=70-71:0000-ffff
As a result of the changes, old mappings will no longer work. The above
XML example will run Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Otherwise,
you'll have to write your own.
All that's left now is to work some sort of database mapping system in,
so I can start dumping carts en masse.
The NES changes that FitzRoy asked for are mostly in as well.
Also, part of the reason I haven't released a WIP ... but fuck it, I'm
not going to wait forever to post a new WIP.
I've added a skeleton driver to emulate Campus Challenge '92 and
Powerfest '94. There's no actual emulation, except for the stuff I can
glean from looking at the pictures of the board. It has a DSP-1 (so
SR/DR registers), four ROMs that map in and out, RAM, etc.
I've also added preliminary mapping to upload high scores to a website,
but obviously I need the ROMs first.

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.) |
