Update to v104r15 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- processor/huc6280,mos6502,wdc65816: replaced abbreviated opcode
names with descriptive names
- nall: replaced `PLATFORM_MACOSX` define with `PLATFORM_MACOS`
- icarus: added `Icarus::missing() -> string_vector` to list missing
appended firmware files by name
- ruby, hiro: fix macosx→macos references
The processor instruction renaming was really about consistency with the
other processor cores. I may still need to do this for one or two more
processors.
The icarus change should allow a future release of the icarus
application to import games with external SNES coprocessor firmware once
again. It will also allow this to be possible when used in library mode.

- resource: recreated higan+icarus icons, higan logo as 32-bit PNGs
So higan v104r08 and earlier were 930KiB for the source tarball. After
creating new higan and icarus icons, the size jumped to 1090KiB, which
was insane for only adding one additional icon.
After digging into why, I discovered that ImageMagick defaults to
64-bit!! (16-bits per channel) PNG images when converting from SVG.
You know, for all those 16-bit per channel monitors that don't exist.
Sigh. Amazingly, nobody ever noticed this.
The logo went from 78.8KiB to 24.5KiB, which in turn also means the
generated resource.cpp shrank dramatically.
The old higan icon was 32-bit PNG, because it was created before I
installed FreeBSD and switched to ImageMagick. But the new higan icon,
plus the new icarus icon, were both 64-bit as well. And they're now
32-bit.
So the new tarball size, thanks to the logo optimization, dropped to
830KiB.
Cydrak had some really interesting results in converting higan's
resources to 8-bit palletized PNGs with the tRNS extension for alpha
transparency. It reduces the file sizes even more without much visual
fidelity loss. Eg the higan logo uses 778 colors currently, and 256
represents nearly all of it very well to the human eye. It's based off
of only two colors, the rest are all anti-aliasing. Unfortunately,
nall/image doesn't support this yet, and I didn't want to flatten the
higan logo to not have transparency, in case I ever want to change the
about screen background color.

Update to v104r08 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- processor/upd96050: code cleanups
- processor/upd96050: improved emulation of S1/OV1 flags [thanks to
Cydrak, Lord Nightmare]
- tomoko/settings/audio: reduced the size of the frequency/latency
combo boxes to show longer device driver names
Errata: I need to clear regs.sr in uPD96050::power()
Note: the S1/OV1 emulation is likely not 100% correct yet, but it's a
step in the right direction. No SNES games actually use S1/OV1, so this
shouldn't result in any issues, I'd just like to have this part of the
chip emulated correctly.

Update to v104r07 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- md/vdp: added VIP bit to status register; fixes Cliffhanger
- processor/m68k/disassembler: added modes 7 and 8 to LEA address
disassembly
- processor/m68k/disassembler: enhanced ILLEGAL to display LINEA/LINEF
$xxx variants
- processor/m68k: ILLEGAL/LINEA/LINEF do not modify the stack
register; fixes Caeser no Yabou II
- icarus/sfc: request sgb1.boot.rom and sgb2.boot.rom separately; as
they are different
- icarus/sfc: removed support for external firmware when loading ROM
images
The hack to run Mega Drive Ballz 3D isn't in place, as I don't know if
it's correct, and the graphics were corrupted anyway.
The SGB boot ROM change is going to require updating the icarus database
as well. I will add that in when I start dumping more cartridges here
soon.
Finally ... I explained this already, but I'll do so here as well: I
removed icarus' support for loading SNES coprocessor firmware games with
external firmware files (eg dsp1.program.rom + dsp1.data.rom in the same
path as supermariokart.sfc, for example.)
I realize most are going to see this as an antagonizing/stubborn move
given the recent No-Intro discussion, and I won't deny that said thread
is why this came to the forefront of my mind. But on my word, I honestly
believe this was an ineffective solution for many reasons not related to
our disagreements:
1. No-Intro distributes SNES coprocessor firmware as a merged file, eg
"DSP1 (World).zip/DSP1 (World).bin" -- icarus can't possibly know
about every ROM distribution set's naming conventions for firmware.
(Right now, it appears GoodSNES and NSRT are mostly dead; but there
may be more DATs in the future -- including my own.)
2. Even if the user obtains the firmware and tries to rename it, it
won't work: icarus parses manifests generated by the heuristics
module and sees two ROM files: dsp1.program.rom and dsp1.data.rom.
icarus cannot identify a file named dsp1.rom as containing both
of these sub-files. Users are going to have to know how to split
files, which there is no way to do on stock Windows. Merging files,
however, can be done via `copy /b supermariokart.sfc+dsp1.rom
supermariokartdsp.sfc`; - and dsp1.rom can be named whatever now.
I am not saying this will be easy for the average user, but it's
easier than splitting files.
3. Separate firmware breaks icarus' database lookup. If you have
pilotwings.sfc but without firmware, icarus will not find a match
for it in the database lookup phase. It will then fall back on
heuristics. The heuristics will pick DSP1B for compatibility with
Ballz 3D which requires it. And so it will try to pull in the
wrong firmware, and the game's intro will not work correctly.
Furthermore, the database information will be unavailable, resulting
in inaccurate mirroring.
So for these reasons, I have removed said support. You must now load
SNES coprocessor games into higan in one of two ways: 1) game paks with
split files; or 2) SFC images with merged firmware.
If and when No-Intro deploys a method I can actually use, I give you all
my word I will give it a fair shot and if it's reasonable, I'll support
it in icarus.

Update to v104r06 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- gba,ws: removed Thread::step() override¹
- processor/m68k: move.b (a7)+ and move.b (a7)- adjust a7 by two, not
by one²
- tomoko: created new initialize(Video,Audio,Input)Driver() functions³
- ruby/audio: split Audio::information into
Audio::available(Devices,Frequencies,Latencies,Channels)³
- ws: added Model::(WonderSwan,WonderSwanColor,SwanCrystal)()
functions for consistency with other cores
¹: this should hopefully fix GBA Pokemon Pinball. Thanks to
SuperMikeMan for pointing out the underlying cause.
²: this fixes A Ressaha de Ikou, Mega Bomberman, and probably more
games.
³: this is the big change: so there was a problem with WASAPI where
you might change your device under the audio settings panel. And your
new device may not support the frequency that your old device used. This
would end up not updating the frequency, and the pitch would be
distorted.
The old Audio::information() couldn't tell you what frequencies,
latencies, or channels were available for all devices simultaneously, so
I had to split them up. The new initializeAudioDriver() function
validates you have a correct driver, or it defaults to none. Then it
validates a correct device name, or it defaults to the first entry in
the list. Then it validates a correct frequency, or defaults to the
first in the list. Then finally it validates a correct latency, or
defaults to the first in the list.
In this way ... we have a clear path now with no API changes required to
select default devices, frequencies, latencies, channel counts: they
need to be the first items in their respective lists.
So, what we need to do now is go through and for every audio driver that
enumerates devices, we need to make sure the default device gets added
to the top of the list. I'm ... not really sure how to do this with most
drivers, so this is definitely going to take some time.
Also, when you change a device, initializeAudioDriver() is called again,
so if it's a bad device, it will disable the audio driver instead of
continuing to send samples at it and hoping that the driver blocked
those API calls when it failed to initialize properly.
Now then ... since it was a decently-sized API change, it's possible
I've broken compilation of the Linux drivers, so please report any
compilation errors so that I can fix them.

Update to v104 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- emulator/interface: removed unused Region struct
- gba/cpu: optimized CPU::step() as much as I could for a slight
speedup¹
- gba/cpu: synchronize the APU better during FIFO updates
- higan/md, icarus: add automatic region detection; make it the
default option [hex\_usr]
- picks NTSC-J if there's more than one match ... eventually, this
will be a setting
- higan/md, icarus: support all three combinations of SRAM (8-bit low,
8-bit high, 16-bit)
- processor/arm7tdmi: fix bug when changing to THUMB mode via MSR
[MerryMage]
- tomoko: redesigned crash detector to only occur once for all three
ruby drivers
- this will reduce disk thrashing since the configuration file
only needs to be written out one extra time
- technically, it's twice ... but we should've always been writing
one out on first run in case it crashes then
- tomoko: defaulted back to the safest ruby drivers, given the optimal
drivers have some stability concerns
¹: minor errata: spotted a typo saying `synchronize(cpu)` when the CPU
is stopped, instead of `synchronize(ppu)`. This will be fixed in the v104
official 7zip archives.
I'm kind of rushing here but, it's really good timing for me to push out
a new official release. The blocking issues are resolved or close to it,
and we need lots of testing of the new major changes.
I'm going to consider this a semi-stable testing release and leave links
to v103 just in case.

default to silence out of the box

Update to v103r31 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- gba/cpu: slight speedup to CPU::step()
- processor/arm7tdmi: fixed about ten bugs, ST018 and GBA games are
now playable once again
- processor/arm: removed core from codebase
- processor/v30mz: code cleanup (renamed functions; updated
instruction() for consistency with other cores)
It turns out on my much faster system, the new ARM7TDMI core is very
slightly slower than the old one (by about 2% or so FPS.) But the
CPU::step() improvement basically made it a wash.
So yeah, I'm in really serious trouble with how slow my GBA core is now.
Sigh.
As for higan/processor ... this concludes the first phase of major
cleanups and rewrites.
There will always be work to do, and I have two more phases in mind.
One is that a lot of the instruction disassemblers are very old. One
even uses sprintf still. I'd like to modernize them all. Also, the
ARM7TDMI core (and the ARM core before it) can't really disassemble
because the PC address used for instruction execution is not known prior
to calling instruction(), due to pipeline reload fetches that may occur
inside of said function. I had a nasty hack for debugging the new core,
but I'd like to come up with a clean way to allow tracing the new
ARM7TDMI core.
Another is that I'd still like to rename a lot of instruction function
names in various cores to be more descriptive. I really liked how the
LR35902 core came out there, and would like to get that level of detail
in with the other cores as well.

Update to v103r30 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - processor/arm7tdmi: completed implemented - gba/cpu, sfc/coprocessor/armdsp: use arm7tdmi instead of arm - sfc/cpu: experimental fix for newly discovered HDMA emulation issue Notes: The ARM7TDMI core crashes pretty quickly when trying to run GBA games, and I'm certain the same will be the case with the ST018. It was never all that likely I could rewrite 70KiB of code in 20 hours and have it work perfectly on the first try. So, now it's time for lots and lots of debugging. Any help would *really* be appreciated, if anyone were up for comparing the two implementations for regressions =^-^= I often have a really hard time spotting simple typos that I make. Also, the SNES HDMA fix is temporary. I would like it if testers could run through a bunch of games that are known for being tricky with HDMA (or if these aren't known to said tester, any games are fine then.) If we can confirm regressions, then we'll know the fix is either incorrect or incomplete. But if we don't find any, then it's a good sign that we're on the right path. |

Update to v103r28 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - processor/arm7tdmi: implemented 10 of 19 ARM instructions - processor/arm7tdmi: implemented 1 of 22 THUMB instructions Today's WIP was 6 hours of work, and yesterday's was 5 hours. Half of today was just trying to come up with the design to use a lambda-based dispatcher to map both instructions and disassembly, similar to the 68K core. The problem is that the ARM core has 28 unique bits, which is just far too many bits to have a full lookup table like the 16-bit 68K core. The thing I wanted more than anything else was to perform the opcode bitfield decoding once, and have it decoded for both instructions and the disassembler. It took three hours to come up with a design that worked for the ARM half ... relying on #defines being able to pull in other #defines that were declared and changed later after the first one. But, I'm happy with it. The decoding is in the table building, as it is with the 68K core. The decoding does happen at run-time on each instruction invocation, but it has to be done. As to the THUMB core, I can create a 64K-entry lambda table to cover all possible encodings, and ... even though it's a cache killer, I've decided to go for it, given the outstanding performance it obtained in the M68K core, as well as considering that THUMB mode is far more common in GBA games. As to both cores ... I'm a little torn between two extremes: On the one hand, I can condense the number of ARM/THUMB instructions further to eliminate more redundant code. On the other, I can split them apart to reduce the number of conditional tests needed to execute each instruction. It's really the disassembler that makes me not want to split them up further ... as I have to split the disassembler functions up equally to the instruction functions. But it may be worth it if it's a speed improvement. |

Changelog:
- processor/lr35902: completed rewrite
I'd appreciate regression testing of the Game Boy and Game Boy Color
emulation between v103r24 and v103r26 (skip r25) if anyone wouldn't
mind.
I fixed up processor/lr35902-legacy to compile and run, so that trace
logs can be created between the two cores to find errors. I'm going to
kill processor/lr35902-legacy with the next WIP release, as well as make
changes to the trace format (add flags externally from AF; much easier
to read them that way), which will make it more difficult to do these
comparisons in the future, hence r26 may prove important later on if we
miss regressions this time.
As for the speed of the new CPU core, not too much to report ... at
least it's not slower :)
Mega Man II: 212.5 to 214.5fps
Shiro no Sho: 191.5 to 191.5fps
Oracle of Ages: 182.5 to 190.5fps

- todo: should step by a scanline at a time: worst-case is an
extra 99% of a frame to enable again
- gba/ppu: cache tilemap lookups and attribute parsing

pixel
- but unfortunately, this didn't provide any speedup at all ...

- ruby/audio/alsa: fixed const issue with free()
- ruby/video/cgl: removed `glDisable(GL_ALPHA_TEST)` [deprecated]
- ruby/video/cgl: removed `glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D)` [unnecessary as
we use shaders]
- processor/lr35902: started rewrite¹
¹: so, the Game Boy and Game Boy Color cores will be completely
broken for at least the next two or three WIPs.
The old LR35902 was complete garbage, written in early 2011. So I'm
rewriting it to provide a massive cleanup and consistency with other
processor cores, especially the Z80 core.
I've got about 85% of the main instructions implemented, and then I have
to do the CB instructions. The CB instructions are easier because
they're mostly just a small number of opcodes in many small variations,
but it'll still be tedious.

- ruby/video/cgl: rename term() to terminate() to fix a crash on macOS
[Sintendo]
¹: The observation that this mapper split $4000-7fff into two banks
came from MAME's implementation. But their implementation was quite
broken and incomplete, so I didn't actually use any of it. The
observation that this mapper split $a000-bfff into two banks came from
Tauwasser, and I did directly use that information, plus the knowledge
that $0400/$0800 are the RAM bank select registers.
The text corruption is due to a race condition with timing. The game is
transferring font letters via HDMA, but the game code ends up setting
the bank# with the font a bit too late after the HDMA has already
occurred. I'm not sure how to fix this ... as a whole, I assumed my Game
Boy timing was pretty good, but apparently it's not that good.
²: The entire design of this mapper comes from endrift's notes.
endrift gets full credit for higan being able to emulate this mapper.
Note that the accelerometer implementation is still not tested, and
probably won't work right until I tweak the sensitivity a lot.
³: So the fun part of this is ... it breaks the strict 60fps rate of
the Game Boy. This was always inevitable: certain timing conditions can
stretch frames, too. But this is pretty much an absolute deal breaker
for something like Vsync timing. This pretty much requires adaptive sync
to run well without audio stuttering during the transition.
There's currently one very important detail missing: when the LCD is
turned off, presumably the image on the screen fades to white. I do not
know how long this process takes, or how to really go about emulating
it. Right now as an incomplete patch, I'm simply leaving the last
displayed image on the screen until the LCD is turned on again. But I
will have to output white, as well as add code to break out of the
emulation loop periodically when the LCD is left off eg indefinitely, or
bad things would happen. I'll work something out and then implement.
Another detail is I'm not sure how long it takes for the LCD to start
rendering again once enabled. Right now, it's immediate. I've heard it's
as long as 1/60th of a second, but that really seems incredibly
excessive? I'd like to know at least a reasonably well-supported
estimate before I implement that.

Update to v103r07 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- gba/cpu: massive code cleanup effort
- gba/cpu: DMA can run in between active instructions¹
- gba/cpu: added two-cycle startup delay between DMA activation and
DMA transfers²
- processor/spc700: BBC, BBC, CBNE cycle 4 is an idle cycle
- processor/spc700: ADDW, SUBW, MOVW (read) cycle 4 is an idle cycle
¹: unfortunately, this causes yet another performance penalty for the
poor GBA core =( Also, I think I may have missed disabling DMAs while
the CPU is stopped. I'll fix that in the next WIP.
²: I put the waiting counter decrement at the wrong place, so this
doesn't actually work. Needs to be more like
this:
auto CPU::step(uint clocks) -> void {
for(auto _ : range(clocks)) {
for(auto& timer : this->timer) timer.run();
for(auto& dma : this->dma) if(dma.active && dma.waiting) dma.waiting--;
context.clock++;
}
...
auto CPU::DMA::run() -> bool {
if(cpu.stopped() || !active || waiting) return false;
transfer();
if(irq) cpu.irq.flag |= CPU::Interrupt::DMA0 << id;
if(drq && id == 3) cpu.irq.flag |= CPU::Interrupt::Cartridge;
return true;
}
Of course, the real fix will be restructuring how DMA works, so that
it's always running in parallel with the CPU instead of this weird
design where it tries to run all channels in some kind of loop until no
channels are active anymore whenever one channel is activated.
Not really sure how to design that yet, however.

The DSP (24576khz) feeds its clock / 12 through to the SMP (2048khz).
The clock divider setting further divides the clock by 2, 4, 8, or 16.
Since 8 and 16 are not cleanly divislbe by 12, the SMP cycle count
glitches out and seems to take 10 and 2 clocks instead of 8 or 16. This
can on real hardware either cause the SMP to run very slowly, or more
likely, crash the SMP completely until reset.
What's even stranger is the timers aren't affected by this. They still
clock by 2, 4, 8, or 16.
Note that technically I could divide my own clock counters by 24 and
reduce these to {1,2,5,10} and {1,2,4,8}, I instead chose to divide by
12 to better illustrate this hardware issue and better model that the
SMP clock runs at 2048khz and not 1024khz.
Further, note that things aren't 100% perfect yet. This seems to throw
off some tests, such as blargg's `test_timer_speed`. I can't tell how
far off I am because blargg's test tragically doesn't print out fail
values. But you can see the improvements in that higan is now passing
all of Revenant's tests that were obviously completely wrong before.

Update to v103r03 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- md/psg: fixed output frequency rate regression from v103r02
- processor/m68k: fixed calculations for ABCD, NBCD, SBCD [hex\_usr,
SuperMikeMan]
- processor/spc700: renamed abbreviated instructions to functional
descriptions (eg `XCN` → `ExchangeNibble`)
- processor/spc700: removed memory.cpp shorthand functions (fetch,
load, store, pull, push)
- processor/spc700: updated all instructions to follow cycle behavior
as documented by Overload with a logic analyzer
Once again, the changes to the SPC700 core are really quite massive. And
this time it's not just cosmetic: the idle cycles have been updated to
pull from various memory addresses. This is why I removed the shorthand
functions -- so that I could handle the at-times very bizarre addresses
the SPC700 has on its address bus during its idle cycles.
There is one behavior Overload mentioned that I don't emulate ... one of
the cycles of the (X) transfer functions seems to not actually access
the $f0-ff internal SMP registers? I don't fully understand what
Overload is getting at, so I haven't tried to support it just yet.
Also, there are limits to logic analyzers. In many cases the same
address is read from twice consecutively. It is unclear which of the two
reads the SPC700 actually utilizes. I tried to choose the most logical
values (usually the first one), but ... I don't know that we'll be able
to figure this one out. It's going to be virtually impossible to test
this through software, because the PC can't really execute out of
registers that have side effects on reads.

¹: the clock speed of the PSG is oscillator/15. But I was setting the

sure whether the PSG should be outputting at 3MHz or 223KHz. Amazingly
... I don't really hear a difference either way `o_O` I didn't actually
mean to make this change; I just noticed it after comparing the diff
between r01 and r02. If this turns out to be wrong, set
stream = Emulator::audio.createStream(1, frequency() / 16.0);
in md/psg.cpp to revert this change.

Update to v103 WIP release.
byuu says (in the WIP forum):
Changelog:
- higan: cheat codes accept = and ? separators now
- the new preferred code format is: address=value or
address=if-match?value
- the old code format of address/value and address/if-match/value
will continue to work
- higan: cheats.bml is no longer included with the base distribution
- mightymo stopped updating it in 2015, and it's not source code;
it can still be pulled in from older releases
- fc: improved PAL mode timing; use PAL APU timing tables; fix PAL
noise period table [hex\_usr]
- md: support aborting a Z80 bus wait in order to capture save states
without freezing
- note that this will violate accuracy; but in practice a slight
desync is better than an emulator deadlock
- sfc: revert DSP ENDX randomization for now (want to research it more
before deploying in an official release)
- sfc: fix Super Famicom.sys/manifest.bml APU RAM size [hex\_usr]
- tomoko: cleaned up make install rules
- hiro/cocoa: use ABGR for pixel data [Sintendo]
Note: I forgot to change the command-line and drag-and-drop separator
from : to | in this WIP. However, it is corrected in the v103 official
binary and source published on download.byuu.org. Sorry about that, I
know it makes the Git repository history more difficult. I'm not
concerned whether the : → | change is part of v103 or v103r01 in the
repository, and will leave this to your discretion, Screwtape.
I also still need to set the VDP bit to indicate PAL mode in the Mega
Drive core. This is what happens when I have 47 things I have to do,
given how lousy my memory is. I miss things.

- processor/lr35902: minor code cleanup
- processor/spc700: completed code cleanup (sans disassembler)

- processor/z80: minor code cleanup
- sfc/dsp: revert to initializing registers to 0x00; save for
ENDX=random(), FLG=0xe0 [Jonas Quinn]
Major testing of the SNES game library would be appreciated, now that
its CPU cores have all been revised.
We know the DSP registers read back as randomized data ... mostly, but
there are apparently internal latches, which we can't emulate with the
current DSP design. So until we know which registers have separate
internal state that actually *is* initialized, I'm going to play it safe
and not break more games.
Thanks again to Jonas Quinn for the continued research into this issue.
EDIT: that said ... `MD works if((ENDX&0x30) > 0)` is only a 3:4 chance
that the game will work. That seems pretty unlikely that the odds of it
working are that low, given hardware testing by others in the past :/ I
thought if worked if `PITCH != 0` before, which would have been way more
likely.
The two remaining CPU cores that need major cleanup efforts are the
LR35902 and ARM cores. Both are very large, complicated, annoying cores
that will probably be better off as full rewrites from scratch. I don't
think I want to delay v103 in trying to accomplish that, however.
So I think it'll be best to focus on allowing the Mega Drive core to not
lock when processors are frozen waiting on a response from other
processors during a save state operation. Then we should be good for a
new release.

- processor/arm: add accumulate mode extra cycle to mlal [Jonas
Quinn]
- processor/huc6280: split off algorithms, improve naming of functions
- processor/mos6502: split off algorithms
- processor/spc700: major revamp of entire core (~50% completed)
- processor/wdc65816: fixed several bugs introduced by rewrite
For the SPC700, this turns out to be very old code as well, with global
object state variables, those annoying `{Boolean,Natural}BitField` types,
`under_case` naming conventions, heavily abbreviated function names, etc.
I'm working to get the code to be in the same design as the MOS6502,
HuC6280, WDC65816 cores, since they're all extremely similar in terms of
architectural design (the SPC700 is more of an off-label
reimplementation of a 6502 core, but still.)
The main thing left is that about 90% of the actual instructions still
need to be adapted to not use the internal state (`aa`, `rd`, `dp`,
`sp`, `bit` variables.) I wanted to finish this today, but ran out of
time before work.
I wouldn't suggest too much testing just yet. We should wait until the
SPC700 core is finished for that. However, if some does want to and
spots regressions, please let me know.

Update to v102r25 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- processor/arm: corrected MUL instruction timings [Jonas Quinn]
- processor/wdc65816: finished phase two of the rewrite
I'm really pleased with the visual results of the wdc65816 core rewrite.
I was able to eliminate all of the weird `{Boolean,Natural}BitRange`
templates, as well as the need to use unions/structs. Registers are now
just simple `uint24` or `uint16` types (technically they're `Natural<T>`
types, but then all of higan uses those), flags are now just bool types.
I also eliminated all of the implicit object state inside of the core
(aa, rd, dp, sp) and instead do all computations on the stack frame with
local variables. Through using macros to reference the registers and
individual parts of them, I was able to reduce the visual tensity of all
of the instructions. And by using normal types without implicit states,
I was able to eliminate about 15% of the instructions necessary, instead
reusing existing ones.
The final third phase of the rewrite will be to recode the disassembler.
That code is probably the oldest code in all of higan right now, still
using sprintf to generate the output. So it is very long overdue for a
cleanup.
And now for the bad news ... as with any large code cleanup, regression
errors have seeped in. Currently, no games are running at all. I've left
the old disassembler in for this reason: we can compare trace logs of
v102r23 against trace logs of v102r25. The second there's any
difference, we've spotted a buggy instruction and can correct it.
With any luck, this will be the last time I ever rewrite the wdc65816
core. My style has changed wildly over the ~10 years since I wrote this
core, but it's really solidifed in recent years.

Update to v102r24 release.
byuu says
Changelog:
- FC: fixed three MOS6502 regressions [hex\_usr]
- GBA: return fetched instruction instead of 0 for unmapped MMIO
(passes all of endrift's I/O tests)
- MD: fix VDP control port read Vblank bit to test screen height

- MD: swap USP,SSP when executing an exception (allows Super Street

- SFC: reads from $00-3f,80-bf:4000-43ff no longer update MDR
[p4plus2]
- SFC: massive, eight-hour cleanup of WDC65816 CPU core ... still not
complete
The big change this time around is the SFC CPU core. I've renamed
everything from R65816 to WDC65816, and then went through and tried to
clean up the code as much as possible. This core is so much larger than
the 6502 core that I chose cleaning up the code to rewriting it.
First off, I really don't care for the BitRange style functionality. It
was an interesting experiment, but its fatal flaw are that the types are
just bizarre, which makes them hard to pass around generically to other
functions as arguments. So I went back to the list of bools for flags,
and union/struct blocks for the registers.
Next, I renamed all of the functions to be more descriptive: eg
`op_read_idpx_w` becomes `instructionIndexedIndirectRead16`. `op_adc_b`
becomes `algorithmADC8`. And so forth.
I eliminated about ten instructions because they were functionally
identical sans the index, so I just added a uint index=0 parameter to
said functions. I added a few new ones (adjust→INC,DEC;
pflag→REP,SEP) where it seemed appropriate.
I cleaned up the disaster of the instruction switch table into something
a whole lot more elegant without all the weird argument decoding
nonsense (still need M vs X variants to avoid having to have 4-5
separate switch tables, but all the F/I flags are gone now); and made
some things saner, like the flag clear/set and branch conditions, now
that I have normal types for flags and registers once again.
I renamed all of the memory access functions to be more descriptive to
what they're doing: eg writeSP→push, readPC→fetch,
writeDP→writeDirect, etc. Eliminated some of the special read/write
modes that were only used in one single instruction.
I started to clean up some of the actual instructions themselves, but
haven't really accomplished much here. The big thing I want to do is get
rid of the global state (aa, rd, iaddr, etc) and instead use local
variables like I am doing with my other 65xx CPU cores now. But this
will take some time ... the algorithm functions depend on rd to be set
to work on them, rather than taking arguments. So I'll need to rework
that.
And then lastly, the disassembler is still a mess. I want to finish the
CPU cleanups, and then post a new WIP, and then rewrite the disassembler
after that. The reason being ... I want a WIP that can generate
identical trace logs to older versions, in case the CPU cleanup causes
any regressions. That way I can more easily spot the errors.
Oh ... and a bit of good news. v102 was running at ~140fps on the SNES
core. With the new support to suspend/resume WAI/STP, plus the internal
CPU registers not updating the MDR, the framerate dropped to ~132fps.
But with the CPU cleanups, performance went back to ~140fps. So, hooray.
Of course, without those two other improvements, we'd have ended up at
possibly ~146-148fps, but oh well.

Update to v102r23 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- rewrote the 6502 CPU core from scratch. Now called MOS6502,
supported BCD mode
- Famicom core disables BCD mode via MOS6502::BCD = 0;
- renamed r65816 folder to wdc65816 (still need to rename the actual
class, though ...)
Note: need to remove build rules for the now renamed r6502, r65816
objects from processor/GNUmakefile.
So this'll seem like a small WIP, but it was a solid five hours to
rewrite the entire 6502 core. The reason I wanted to do this was because
the old 6502 core was pretty sloppy. My coding style improved a lot, and
I really liked how the HuC6280 CPU core came out, so I wanted the 6502
core to be like that one.
The core can now support BCD mode, so hopefully that will prove useful
to hex\_usr and allow one core to run both the NES and his Atari 2600
cores at some point.
Note that right now, the core doesn't support any illegal instructions.
The old core supported a small number of them, but were mostly the no
operation ones. The goal is support all of the illegal instructions at
some point.
It's very possible the rewrite introduced some regressions, so thorough
testing of the NES core would be appreciated if anyone were up for it.

Update to v102r21 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- GBA: fixed WININ2 reads, BG3PB writes [Jonas Quinn]
- R65816: added support for yielding/resuming from WAI/STP¹
- SFC: removed status.dmaCounter functionality (also fixes possible
TAS desync issue)
- tomoko: added support for combinatorial inputs [hex\_usr\]²
- nall: fixed missing return value from Arithmetic::operator--
[Hendricks266]
Now would be the time to start looking for major regressions with the
new GBA PPU renderer, I suppose ...
¹: this doesn't matter for the master thread (SNES CPU), but is
important for slave threads (SNES SA1). If you try to save a state and
the SA1 is inside of a WAI instruction, it will get stuck there forever.
This was causing attempts to create a save state in Super Bomberman
- Panic Bomber W to deadlock the emulator and crash it. This is now
finally fixed.
Note that I still need to implement similar functionality into the Mega
Drive 68K and Z80 cores. They still have the possibility of deadlocking.
The SNES implementation was more a dry-run test for this new
functionality. This possible crashing bug in the Mega Drive core is the
major blocking bug for a new official release.
²: many, many thanks to hex\_usr for coming up with a really nice
design. I mostly implemented it the exact same way, but with a few tiny
differences that don't really matter (display " and ", " or " instead of
" & ", " | " in the input settings windows; append → bind;
assignmentName changed to displayName.)
The actual functionality is identical to the old higan v094 and earlier
builds. Emulated digital inputs let you combine multiple possible keys
to trigger the buttons. This is OR logic, so you can map to eg
keyboard.up OR gamepad.up for instance. Emulated analog inputs always
sum together. Emulated rumble outputs will cause all mapped devices to
rumble, which is probably not at all useful but whatever. Hotkeys use
AND logic, so you have to press every key mapped to trigger them. Useful
for eg Ctrl+F to trigger fullscreen.
Obviously, there are cases where OR logic would be nice for hotkeys,
too. Eg if you want both F11 and your gamepad's guide button to trigger
the fullscreen toggle. Unfortunately, this isn't supported, and likely
won't ever be in tomoko. Something I might consider is a throw switch in
the configuration file to swap between AND or OR logic for hotkeys, but
I'm not going to allow construction of mappings like "(Keyboard.Ctrl and
Keyboard.F) or Gamepad.Guide", as that's just too complicated to code,
and too complicated to make a nice GUI to set up the mappings for.

Todo:
- need to serialize the new cartridge ramEnable, ramWritable, bank
variables
¹: so technically, the GBA has its FIFO queue (raw PCM), plus a GB
chipset. The GB audio runs at 2MHz. However, I was being lazy and
running the sequencer 64 times in a row, thus decimating the audio to
32KHz. But simply discarding 63 out of every 64 samples resorts in
muddier sound with more static in it.
However ... increasing the audio thread processing intensity 64-fold,
and requiring heavy-duty three-chain lowpass and highpass filters is not
cheap. For this bump in sound quality, we're eating a loss of about 30%
of previous performance.
Also note that the GB audio emulation in the GBA core still lacks many
of the improvements made to the GB core. I was hoping to complete the GB
enhancements, but it seems like I'm never going to pass blargg's
psychotic edge case tests. So, first I want to clean up the GB audio to
my current coding standards, and then I'll port that over to the GBA,
which should further increase sound quality. At that point, it sound
exceed mGBA's audio quality (due to the ridiculously high sampling rate
and strong-attenuation audio filtering.)
²: word writes are probably not handled correctly ... but games are
only supposed to do byte writes here.
³: the SRAM mapping is used by games like "Story of Thor" and
"Phantasy Star IV." Unfortunately, the former wasn't released in the US
and is region protected. So you'll need to change the NTSU to NTSCJ in
md/system/system.cpp in order to boot it. But it does work nicely now.
The write protection bit is cleared in the game, and then it fails to
write to SRAM (soooooooo many games with SRAM write protection do this),
so for now I've had to disable checking that bit. Phantasy Star IV has a
US release, but sadly the game doesn't boot yet. Hitting some other bug.
The bank mapping is pretty much just for the 40mbit Super Street Fighter
game. It shows the Sega and Capcom logos now, but is hitting yet another
bug and deadlocking.
For now, I emulate the SRAM/bank mapping registers on all cartridges,
and set sane defaults. So long as games don't write to $a130XX, they
should all continue to work. But obviously, we need to get to a point
where higan/icarus can selectively enable these registers on a per-game
basis.
⁴: so, the Mega Drive has various ways to lock a chip until another
chip releases it. The VDP can lock the 68K, the 68K can lock the Z80,
etc. If this happens when you save a state, it'll dead-lock the
emulator. So that's obviously a problem that needs to be fixed. The fix
will be nasty ... basically, bypassing the dead-lock, creating a
miniature, one-instruction-long race condition. Extremely unlikely to
cause any issues in practice (it's only a little worse than the SNES
CPU/SMP desync), but ... there's nothing I can do about it. So you'll
have to take it or leave it. But yeah, for now, save states may lock up
the emulator. I need to add code to break the loops when in the process
of creating a save state still.

Update to v102r16 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- Emulator::Stream now allows adding low-pass and high-pass filters
dynamically
- also accepts a pass# count; each pass is a second-order biquad
butterworth IIR filter
- Emulator::Stream no longer automatically filters out >20KHz
frequencies for all streams
- FC: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
- GB: removed simple 'magic constant' high-pass filter of unknown
cutoff frequency (missed this one in the last WIP)
- GB,SGB,GBC: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
- MS,GG,MD/PSG: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
- MD: added save state support (but it's completely broken for now;
sorry)
- MD/YM2612: fixed Voice#3 per-operator pitch support (fixes sound
effects in Streets of Rage, etc)
- PCE: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
- WS,WSC: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter
So, the point of the low-pass filters is to remove frequencies above
human hearing. If we don't do this, then resampling will introduce
aliasing that results in sounds that are audible to the human ear. Which
basically an annoying buzzing sound. You'll definitely hear the
improvement from these in games like Mega Man 2 on the NES. Of course,
these already existed before, so this WIP won't sound better than
previous WIPs.
The high-pass filters are a little more complicated. Their main role is
to remove DC bias and help to center the audio stream. I don't
understand how they do this at all, but ... that's what everyone who
knows what they're talking about says, thus ... so be it.
I have set all of the high-pass filters to 20Hz, which is below the
limit of human hearing. Now this is where it gets really interesting ...
technically, some of these systems actually cut off a lot of range. For
instance, the GBA should technically use an 800Hz high-pass filter when
output is done through the system's speakers. But of course, if you plug
in headphones, you can hear the lower frequencies.
Now 800Hz ... you definitely can hear. At that level, nearly all of the
bass is stripped out and the audio is very tinny. Just like the real
system. But for now, I don't want to emulate the audio being crushed
that badly.
I'm sticking with 20Hz everywhere since it won't negatively affect audio
quality. In fact, you should not be able to hear any difference between
this WIP and the previous WIP. But theoretically, DC bias should mostly
be removed as a result of these new filters. It may be that we need to
raise the values on some cores in the future, but I don't want to do
that until we know for certain that we have to.
What I can say is that compared to even older WIPs than r15 ... the
removal of the simple one-pole low-pass and high-pass filters with the
newer three-pass, second-order filters should result in much better
attenuation (less distortion of audible frequencies.) Probably not
enough to be noticeable in a blind test, though.

Update to v102r12 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- MD/PSG: fixed 68K bus Z80 status read address location
- MS, GG, MD/PSG: channels post-decrement their counters, not
pre-decrement [Cydrak]¹
- MD/VDP: cache screen width registers once per scanline; screen
height registers once per frame
- MD/VDP: support 256-width display mode (used in Shining Force, etc)
- MD/YM2612: implemented timers²
- MD/YM2612: implemented 8-bit PCM DAC²
- 68000: TRAP instruction should index the vector location by 32 (eg
by 128 bytes), fixes Shining Force
- nall: updated hex(), octal(), binary() functions to take uintmax
instead of template<typename T> parameter³
¹: this one makes an incredible difference. Sie noticed that lots of
games set a period of 0, which would end up being a really long period
with pre-decrement. By fixing this, noise shows up in many more games,
and sounds way better in games even where it did before. You can hear
extra sound on Lunar - Sanposuru Gakuen's title screen, the noise in
Sonic The Hedgehog (Mega Drive) sounds better, etc.
²: this also really helps sound. The timers allow PSG music to play
back at the correct speed instead of playing back way too quickly. And
the PCM DAC lets you hear a lot of drum effects, as well as the
"Sega!!" sound at the start of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the infamous,
"Rise from your grave!" line from Altered Beast.
Still, most music on the Mega Drive comes from the FM channels, so
there's still not a whole lot to listen to.
I didn't implement Cydrak's $02c test register just yet. Sie wasn't 100%
certain on how the extended DAC bit worked, so I'd like to play it a
little conservative and get sound working, then I'll go back and add a
toggle or something to enable undocumented registers, that way we can
use that to detect any potential problems they might be causing.
³: unfortunately we lose support for using hex() on nall/arithmetic
types. If I have a const Pair& version of the function, then the
compiler gets confused on whether Natural<32> should use uintmax or
const Pair&, because compilers are stupid, and you can't have explicit
arguments in overloaded functions. So even though either function would
work, it just decides to error out instead >_>
This is actually really annoying, because I want hex() to be useful for
printing out nall/crypto keys and hashes directly.
But ... this change had to be made. Negative signed integers would crash
programs, and that was taking out my 68000 disassembler.

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. |

Update to v102r08 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- PCE: restructured VCE, VDCs to run one scanline at a time
- PCE: bound VDCs to 1365x262 timing (in order to decouple the VDCs
from the VCE)
- PCE: the two changes above allow save states to function; also
grants a minor speed boost
- PCE: added cheat code support (uses 21-bit bus addressing; compare
byte will be useful here)
- 68K: fixed `mov *,ccr` to read two bytes instead of one [Cydrak]
- Z80: emulated /BUSREQ, /BUSACK; allows 68K to suspend the Z80
[Cydrak]
- MD: emulated the Z80 executing instructions [Cydrak]
- MD: emulated Z80 interrupts (triggered during each Vblank period)
[Cydrak]
- MD: emulated Z80 memory map [Cydrak]
- MD: added stubs for PSG, YM2612 accesses [Cydrak]
- MD: improved bus emulation [Cydrak]
The PCE core is pretty much ready to go. The only major feature missing
is FM modulation.
The Mega Drive improvements let us start to see the splash screens for
Langrisser II, Shining Force, Shining in the Darkness. I was hoping I
could get them in-game, but no such luck. My Z80 implementation is
probably flawed in some way ... now that I think about it, I believe I
missed the BusAPU::reset() check for having been granted access to the
Z80 first. But I doubt that's the problem.
Next step is to implement Cydrak's PSG core into the Master System
emulator. Once that's in, I'm going to add save states and cheat code
support to the Master System core.
Next, I'll add the PSG core into the Mega Drive. Then I'll add the
'easy' PCM part of the YM2612. Then the rest of the beastly YM2612 core.
Then finally, cap things off with save state and cheat code support.
Should be nearing a new release at that point.

Update to v102r07 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- PCE: emulated PSG volume controls (vastly enhances audio quality)
- PCE: emulated PSG noise as a square wave (somewhat enhances audio
quality)
- PCE: added save state support (currently broken and deadlocks the
emulator though)
Thankfully, MAME had some rather easy to read code on how the volume
adjustment works, which they apparently ripped out of expired patents.
Hooray!
The two remaining sound issues are:
1. the random number generator for the noise channel is definitely not
hardware accurate. But it won't affect the sound quality at all. You'd
only be able to tell the difference by looking at hex bytes of a stream
rip.
2. I have no clue how to emulate the LFO (frequency modulation). A comment
in MAME's code (they also don't emulate it) advises that they aren't
aware of any games that even use it. But I'm there has to be at least one?
Given LFO not being used, and the RNG not really mattering all that much
... the sound's pretty close to perfect now.

Update to v102r06 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- added higan/emulator/platform.hpp (moved out Emulator::Platform from
emulator/interface.hpp)
- moved gmake build paramter to nall/GNUmakefile; both higan and
icarus use it now
- added build=profile mode
- MD: added the region select I/O register
- MD: started to add region selection support internally (still no
external select or PAL support)
- PCE: added cycle stealing when reading/writing to the VDC or VCE;
and when using ST# instructions
- PCE: cleaned up PSG to match the behavior of Mednafen (doesn't
improve sound at all ;_;)
- note: need to remove loadWaveSample, loadWavePeriod
- HuC6280: ADC/SBC decimal mode consumes an extra cycle; does not set
V flag
- HuC6280: block transfer instructions were taking one cycle too many
- icarus: added code to strip out PC Engine ROM headers
- hiro: added options support to BrowserDialog
The last one sure ended in failure. The plan was to put a region
dropdown directly onto hiro::BrowserDialog, and I had all the code for
it working. But I forgot one important detail: the system loads
cartridges AFTER powering on, so even though I could technically change
the system region post-boot, I'd rather not do so.
So that means we have to know what region we want before we even select
a game. Shit.

code (windows may be buggy still)
- HuC6280: PLA, PLX, PLY should set Z, N flags; fixes many game bugs
[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 v102r03 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - PCE: split VCE from VDC - HuC6280: changed bus from (uint21 addr) to (uint8 bank, uint13 addr) - added SuperGrafx emulation (adds secondary VDC, plus new VPC) The VDC now has no concept of the actual display raster timing, and instead is driven by Vpulse (start of frame) and Hpulse (start of scanline) signals from the VCE. One still can't render the start of the next scanline onto the current scanline through overly aggressive timings, but it shouldn't be too much more difficult to allow that to occur now. This process incurs quite a major speed hit, so low-end systems with Atom CPUs can't run things at 60fps anymore. The timing needs a lot of work. The pixels end up very jagged if the VCE doesn't output batches of 2-4 pixels at a time. But this should not be a requirement at all, so I'm not sure what's going wrong there. Yo, Bro and the 512-width mode of TV Sports Basketball is now broken as a result of these changes, and I'm not sure why. To load SuperGrafx games, you're going to have to change the .pce extensions to .sg or .sgx. Or you can manually move the games from the PC Engine folder to the SuperGrafx folder and change the game folder extensions. I have no way to tell the games apart. Mednafen uses CRC32 comparisons, and I may consider that since there's only five games, but I'm not sure yet. The only SuperGrafx game that's playable right now is Aldynes. And the priorities are all screwed up. I don't understand how the windows or the priorities work at all from sgxtech.txt, so ... yeah. It's pretty broken, but it's a start. I could really use some help with this, as I'm very lost right now with rendering :/ ----- Note that the SuperGrafx is technically its own system, it's not an add-on. As such, I'm giving it a separate .sys folder, and a separate library. There's debate over how to name this thing. "SuperGrafx" appears more popular than "Super Grafx". And you might also call it the "PC Engine SuperGrafx", but I decided to leave off the prefix so it appears more distinct. |

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

Update to v102 release.
byuu says (in the public announcement):
This release adds very preliminary emulation of the Sega Master System
(Mark III), Sega Game Gear, Sega Mega Drive (Genesis), and NEC PC Engine
(Turbografx-16). These cores do not yet offer sound emulation, save
states or cheat codes.
I'm always very hesitant to release a new emulation core in its alpha
stages, as in the past this has resulted in lasting bad impressions
of cores that have since improved greatly. For instance, the Game Boy
Advance emulation offered today is easily the second most accurate around,
yet it is still widely judged by its much older alpha implementation.
However, it's always been tradition with higan to not hold onto code
in secret. Rather than delay future releases for another year or two,
I'll put my faith in you all to understand that the emulation of these
systems will improve over time.
I hope that by releasing things as they are now, I might be able to
receive some much needed assistance in improving these cores, as the
documentation for these new systems is very much less than ideal.

Neutopia looks okay until the main title screen, then there's some
gibberish on the bottom. The game also locks up with some gibberish once
you actually start a new game. So, still not playable just yet =(

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. |

Changelog:

- Z80: emulated "ex (sp),hl" instruction
- Z80: fixed INx NF (should be set instead of cleared)

- SFC: removed Debugger and sfc/debugger.hpp
- icarus: connected MS, GG, MD importing to the scan dialog
- PCE: added emulation skeleton to higan and icarus
At this point, Master System games are fairly highly compatible, sans
audio. Game Gear games are running, but I need to crop the resolution
and support the higher color palette that they can utilize. It's really
something else the way they handled the resolution shrink on that thing.
The last change is obviously going to be the biggest news.
I'm very well aware it's not an ideal time to start on a new emulation
core, with the MS and MD cores only just now coming to life with no
audio support.
But, for whatever reason, my heart's really set on working on the PC
Engine. I wanted to write the final higan skeleton core, and get things
ready so that whenever I'm in the mood to work on the PCE, I can do so.
The skeleton is far and away the most tedious and obnoxious part of the
emulator development, because it's basically all just lots of
boilerplate templated code, lots of new files to create, etc.
I really don't know how things are going to proceed ... but I can say
with 99.9% certainty that this will be the final brand new core ever
added to higan -- at least one written by me, that is. This was
basically the last system from my childhood that I ever cared about.
It's the last 2D system with games that I really enjoy playing. No other
system is worth dividing my efforts and reducing the quality and amount
of time to work on the systems I have.
In the future, there will be potential for FDS, Mega CD and PCE-CD
support. But those will all be add-ons, and they'll all be really
difficult and challenge the entire design of higan's UI (it's entirely
cartridge-driven at this time.) None of them will be entirely new cores
like this one.
