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 - Altered Beast - status bar - Sonic the Hedgehog - Labyrinth Zone - water effect - etc. - 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, 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 v099r10 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - higan/profile/ => higan/systems/ [temporary; unless we can't think of a better base folder name] - god-damn-better-have fixed the input polling bug - re-added command-line and drag-and-drop loading - command-line loading can now load multiple folders at once (SGB+GB game; Sufami Turbo+Slot A+Slot B; etc) - if you load just the base cart, it'll present you with a dialog to optionally load slotted cart(s) - MSU1 now goes through nall/vfs instead of directly accessing the filesystem - Famicom Cartridge, PPU cores updated to newer programming style - there's countless opportunity for BitField and .bits() in the PPU ... but I'm worried about breaking things If anyone has a working MSU1 game and can test the changes out, that'd be appreciated. I still don't have a test ROM on my dev box. I wouldn't worry too much about extensively testing the Famicom PPU changes just yet ... I'm still struggling with what to name the structs inside the classes between all of my emulators, and the BitField/.bits() changes will be much more important to test at a later date. The only use case left for Emulator::Interface::path(uint id) is for 21fx emulation. This peripheral loads a DLL/SO via LoadLibrary/dlopen, which do not have any official ways to open a file in RAM. I'm very hesitant to use the portable trick of writing the memory to a temporary file, loading it, and deleting the temporary file once done ... it's a real waste of disk activity. I might make something like vfs::file::isVirtual->bool,path()->string to get around this. But even once I do, the underlying LoadLibrary/dlopen call is still going to be direct disk access. |

Update to v099r08 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - nall/vfs work 100% completed; even SGB games load now - emulation cores now call load() for the base cartridges as well - updated port/device handling; portmask is gone; device ID bug should be resolved now - SNES controller port 1 multitap option was removed - added support for 128KiB SNES PPU VRAM (for now, edit sfc/ppu/ppu.hpp VRAM::size=0x10000; to enable) Overall, nall/vfs was a huge success!! We've substantially reduced the amount of boilerplate code everywhere, while still allowing (even easier than before) support for RAM-based game loading/saving. All of nall/stream is dead and buried. I am considering removing Emulator::Interface::Medium::id and/or bootable flag. Or at least, doing something different with it. The values for the non-bootable GB/BS/ST entries duplicate the ID that is supposed to be unique. They are for GB/GBC and WS/WSC. Maybe I'll use this as the hardware revision selection ID, and then gut non-bootable options. There's really no reason for that to be there. I think at one point I was using it to generate library tabs for non-bootable systems, but we don't do that anymore anyway. Emulator::Interface::load() may not need the required flag anymore ... it doesn't really do anything right now anyway. I have a few reasons for having the cores load the base cartridge. Most importantly, it is going to enable a special mode for the WonderSwan / WonderSwan Color in the future. If we ever get the IPLROMs dumped ... it's possible to boot these systems with no games inserted to set user profile information and such. There are also other systems that may accept being booted without a cartridge. To reach this state, you would load a game and then cancel the load dialog. Right now, this results in games not loading. The second reason is this prevents nasty crashes when loading fails. So if you're missing a required manifest, the emulator won't die a violent death anymore. It's able to back out at any point. The third reason is consistency: loading the base cartridge works the same as the slot cartridges. The fourth reason is Emulator::Interface::open(uint pathID) values. Before, the GB, SB, GBC modes were IDs 1,2,3 respectively. This complicated things because you had to pass the correct ID. But now instead, Emulator::Interface::load() returns maybe<uint> that is nothing when no game is selected, and a pathID for a valid game. And now open() can take this ID to access this game's folder contents. The downside, which is temporary, is that command-line loading is currently broken. But I do intend on restoring it. In fact, I want to do better than before and allow multi-cart booting from the command-line by specifying the base cartridge and then slot cartridges. The idea should be pretty simple: keep a queue of pending filenames that we fill from the command-line and/or drag-and-drop operations on the main window, and then empty out the queue or prompt for load dialogs from the UI when booting a system. This also might be a bit more unorthodox compared to the traditional emulator design of "loadGame(filename)", but ... oh well. It's easy enough still. The port/device changes are fun. We simplified things quite a bit. The portmask stuff is gone entirely. While ports and devices keep IDs, this is really just sugar-coating so UIs can use for(auto& port : emulator->ports) and access port.id; rather than having to use for(auto n : range(emulator->ports)) { auto& port = emulator->ports[n]; ... }; but they should otherwise generally be identical to the order they appear in their respective ranges. Still, don't rely on that. Input::id is gone. There was no point since we also got rid of the nasty Input::order vector. Since I was in here, I went ahead and caved on the pedantics and renamed Input::guid to Input::userData. I removed the SNES controller port 1 multitap option. Basically, the only game that uses this is N-warp Daisakusen and, no offense to d4s, it's not really a good game anyway. It's just a quick demo to show 8-players on the SNES. But in the UI, all it does is confuse people into wasting time mapping a controller they're never going to use, and they're going to wonder which port to use. If more compelling use cases for 8-players comes about, we can reconsider this. I left all the code to support this in place, so all you have to do is uncomment one line to enable it again. We now have dsnes emulation! :D If you change PPU::VRAM::size to 0x10000 (words), then you should now have 128KiB of VRAM. Even better, it serializes the used-VRAM size, so your save states shouldn't crash on you if you swap between the two (though if you try this, you're nuts.) Note that this option does break commercial software. Yoshi's Island in particular. This game is setting A15 on some PPU register writes, but not on others. The end result of this is things break horribly in-game. Also, this option is causing a very tiny speed hit for obvious reasons with the variable masking value (I'm even using size-1 for now.) Given how niche this is, I may just leave it a compile-time constant to avoid the overhead cost. Otherwise, if we keep the option, then it'll go into Super Famicom.sys/manifest.bml ... I'll flesh that out in the near-future. ---- Finally, some fun for my OCD ... my monitor suddenly cut out on me in the middle of working on this WIP, about six hours in of non-stop work. Had to hit a bunch of ctrl+alt+fN commands (among other things) and trying to log in headless on another TTY to do issue commands, trying to recover the display. Finally power cycled the monitor and it came back up. So all my typing ended up going to who knows where. Usually this sort of thing terrifies me enough that I scrap a WIP and start over to ensure I didn't screw anything up during the crashed screen when hitting keys randomly. Obviously, everything compiles and appears to work fine. And I know it's extremely paranoid, but OCD isn't logical, so ... I'm going to go over every line of the 100KiB r07->r08 diff looking for any corruption/errors/whatever. ---- Review finished. r08 diff review notes: - fc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: remove redundant uint _pathID; (in Information::pathID already) - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: pull sha256 inside Information - sfc/cartridge/load/cpp: add " - Slot (A,B)" to interface->load("Sufami Turbo"); to be more descriptive - sfc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - sfc/interface/interface.cpp: remove n variable from the Multitap device input generation loop (now unused) - sfc/interface/interface.hpp: put struct Port above struct Device like the other classes - ui-tomoko: cheats.bml is reading from/writing to mediumPaths(0) [system folder instead of game folder] - ui-tomoko: instead of mediumPaths(1) - call emulator->metadataPathID() or something like that |

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

Update to 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 v096r01 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - restructured the project and removed a whole bunch of old/dead directives from higan/GNUmakefile - huge amounts of work on hiro/cocoa (compiles but ~70% of the functionality is commented out) - fixed a masking error in my ARM CPU disassembler [Lioncash] - SFC: decided to change board cic=(411,413) back to board region=(ntsc,pal) ... the former was too obtuse If you rename Boolean (it's a problem with an include from ruby, not from hiro) and disable all the ruby drivers, you can compile an OS X binary, but obviously it's not going to do anything. 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 higan v092r01, ananke v02r01 and purify v03r01 releases.
byuu says: higan changelog: - compiler is set to g++-4.7, subst(cc,++) rule is gone, C files compile with $(compiler) -x c - make throws an error when you specify an invalid profile or compile on an unsupported platform (instead of hanging forever) - added unverified.png to resources (causes too big of a speed hit to actually check for folder/unverified file ... so disabled for now) - fixed default browser paths for Game Boy, Sufami Turbo and BS-X Satellaview (have to delete paths.cfg to see this) - browser home button seeks to configpath()/higan/library.cfg - settings->driver is now settings->advanced, and it adds game library path setting and profile information - emulation cores now load manifest files internally, manifest.bml is not required for a game folder to be recognized by higan as such - BS-X Satellaview and Sufami Turbo slot cartridge handling moved out of sfc/chip and into sfc/slot - Video::StartFullScreen only sets fullscreen when a game is specified on the command-line purify and ananke changelog: - library output path shown in purify window - added button to change library path - squelch firmware warning windows to prevent multi-threading crash, but only via purify (they show up in higan still) |

Update to higan v091r14 and ananke v00r03 releases.
byuu says: higan changelog: - generates title displayed in emulator window by asking the core - core builds title solely from "information/title" ... if it's not there, you don't get a title at all - sub-system load menu is gone ... since there are multiple revisions of the SGB, this never really worked well anyway - to load an SGB, BS-X or ST cartridge, load the base cartridge first - "File->Load Game" moved to "Load->Import Game" ... may cause a bit of confusion to new users, but I don't like having a single-item menu, we'll just have to explain it to new users - browser window redone to look like ananke - home button here goes to ~/Emulation rather than just ~ like ananke, since this is the home of game folders - game folder icon is now the executable icon for the Tango theme (orange diamond), meant to represent a complete game rather than a game file or archive ananke changelog: - outputs GBC games to "Game Boy Color/" instead of "Game Boy/" - adds the file basename to "information/title" Known issues: - using ananke to load a GB game trips the Super Famicom SGB mode and fails (need to make the full-path auto-detection ignore non-bootable systems) - need to dump and test some BS-X media before releasing - ananke lacks BS-X Satellaview cartridge support - v092 isn't going to let you retarget the ananke/higan game folder path of ~/Emulation, you will have to wait for a future version if that bothers you so greatly [Later, after the v092 release, byuu posted this additional changelog: - kill laevateinn - add title() - add bootable, remove load - combine file, library - combine [][][] paths - fix SFC subtype handling XML->BML - update file browser to use buttons - update file browser keyboard handling - update system XML->BML - fix sufami turbo hashing - remove Cartridge::manifest ] |

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.) |
