Update to v106r57 release.
byuu says: I've added tool tips to hiro for Windows, GTK, and Qt. I'm unsure how to add them for Cocoa. I wasted am embarrassing ~14 hours implementing tool tips from scratch on Windows, because the `TOOLTIPS_CLASS` widget just absolutely refused to show up, no matter what I tried. As such, they're not quite 100% native, but I would really appreciate any patch submissions to help improve my implementation. I added tool tips to all of the confusing settings in bsnes. And of course, for those of you who don't like them, there's a configuration file setting to turn them off globally. I also improved Mega Drive handling of the Game Genie a bit, and restructured the way the Settings class works in bsnes. Starting now, I'm feature-freezing bsnes and higan. From this point forward: - polishing up and fixing bugs caused by the ruby/hiro changes - adding DRC to XAudio2, and maybe exclusive mode to WGL - correcting FEoEZ (English) to load and work again out of the box Once that's done, a final beta of bsnes will go out, I'll fix any reported bugs that I'm able to, and then v107 should be ready. This time with higan being functional, but marked as v107 beta. v108 will restore higan to production status again, alongside bsnes. |

Update to v106r56 release.
byuu says: I fixed all outstanding bugs that I'm aware of, including all of the errata I listed yesterday. And now it's time for lots of regression testing. After that, I need to add Talarubi's XAudio2 DRC code, and then get a new public bsnes WIP out for final testing. New errata: when setting an icon (nall::image) larger than a Canvas on Windows, it's not centering the image, so you end up seeing the overscan area in the state manager previews, and the bottom of the image gets cut off. I also need to forcefully disable the Xlib screensaver disable support. I think I'll remove the GUI option to bypass it as well, and just force screensaver disable always on with Windows. I'll improve it in the future to toggle the effect between emulator pauses. |

Update to v106r55 release.
byuu says:
Everything *should* be working again, but of course that won't
actually be the case. Here's where things stand:
- bsnes, higan, icarus, and genius compile and run fine on FreeBSD
with GTK
- ruby video and audio drivers are untested on Windows, macOS, and
Linux
- hiro is untested on macOS
- bsnes' status bar is not showing up properly with hiro/qt
- bsnes and higan's about screen is not showing up properly with
hiro/qt (1x1 window size)
- bsnes on Windows crashes often when saving states, and I'm not sure
why ... it happens inside Encode::RLE
- bsnes on Windows crashes with ruby.input.windows (unsure why)
- bsnes on Windows fails to show the verified emblem on the status bar
properly
- hiro on Windows flickers when changing tabs
To build the Windows bsnes and higan ports, use
ruby="video.gdi audio.directsound"
Compilation error logs for Linux will help me fix the inevitable list of
typos there. I can fix the typos on other platforms, I just haven't
gotten to it yet.

Update to 20180729 release.
byuu wrote: Sigh ... asio.hpp needs #include <nall/windows/registry.hpp> [Since the last WIP, byuu also posted the following message. -Ed.] ruby drivers have all been updated (but not tested outside of BSD), and I redesigned the settings window. The driver functionality all exists on a new "Drivers" panel, the emulator/hack settings go to a "Configuration" panel, and the video/audio panels lose driver settings. As does the settings menu and its synchronize options. I want to start pushing toward a v107 release. Critically, I will need DirectSound and ALSA to support dynamic rate control. I'd also like to eliminate the other system manifest.bml files. I need to update the cheat code database format, and bundle at least a few quark shaders -- although I still need to default to Direct3D on Windows. Turbo keys would be nice, if it's not too much effort. Aside from netplay, it's the last significant feature I'm missing. I think for v107, higan is going to be a bit rough around the edges compared to bsnes. And I don't think it's practical to finish the bsnes localization support. I'm thinking we probably want another WIP to iron out any critical issues, but this time there should be a feature freeze with the next WIP. |

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 v103r23 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- gb: added accelerometer X-axis, Y-Axis inputs¹
- gb: added rumble input¹
- gb/mbc5: added rumble support²
- gb/mbc6: added skeleton driver, but it doesn't boot Net de Get
- gb/mbc7: added mostly complete driver (only missing EEPROM), but it
doesn't boot Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble
- gb/tama: added leap year assignment
- tomoko: fixed macOS compilation [MerryMage]
- hiro/cocoa: fix table cell redrawing on updates and automatic column
resizing [ncbncb]
- hiro/cocoa: fix some weird issue with clicking table view checkboxes
on Retina displays [ncbncb]
- icarus: enhance Game Boy heuristics³
- nall: fix three missing return statements [Jonas Quinn]
- ruby: hopefully fixed all compilation errors reported by Screwtape
et al⁴
¹: because there's no concept of a controller for cartridge inputs,
I'm attaching to the base platform for now. An idea I had was to make
separate ports for each cartridge type ... but this would duplicate the
rumble input between MBC5 and MBC7. And would also be less discoverable.
But it would be more clean in that users wouldn't think the Game Boy
hardware had this functionality. I'll think about it.
²: it probably won't work yet. Rumble isn't documented anywhere, but
I dug through an emulator named GEST and discovered that it seems to use
bit 3 of the RAM bank select to be rumble. I don't know if it sets the
bit for rumbling, then clears when finished, or if it sets it and then
after a few milliseconds it stops rumbling. I couldn't test on my
FreeBSD box because SDL 1.2 doesn't support rumble, udev doesn't exist
on FreeBSD, and nobody has ever posted any working code for how to use
evdev (or whatever it's called) on FreeBSD.
³: I'm still thinking about specifying the MBC7 RAM as EEPROM, since
it's not really static RAM.
⁴: if possible, please test all drivers if you can. I want to ensure
they're all working. Especially let me know if the following work:
macOS: input.carbon Linux: audio.pulseaudiosimple, audio.ao (libao)
If I can confirm these are working, I'm going to then remove them from
being included with stock higan builds.
I'm also considering dropping SDL video on Linux/BSD. XShm is much
faster and supports blurring. I may also drop SDL input on Linux, since
udev works better. That will free a dependency on SDL 1.2 for building
higan. FreeBSD is still going to need it for joypad support, however.

Update to v103r22 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- ruby: ported all remaining drivers to new API¹
- ruby/wasapi: fix for dropping one sample per period [SuperMikeMan]
- gb: emulated most of the TAMA RTC; but RTC state is still volatile²
¹: the new ports are:
- audio/{directsound, alsa, pulseaudio, pulseaudiosimple, ao}
- input/{udev, quartz, carbon}
It's pretty much guaranteed many of them will have compilation errors.
Please paste the error logs and I'll try to fix them up. It may take a
WIP or two to get there.
It's also possible things broke from the updates. If so, I could use
help comparing the old file to the new file, looking for mistakes, since
I can't test on these platforms apart from audio/directsound.
Please report working drivers in this list, so we can mark them off the
list. I'll need both macOS and Linux testers.
audio/directsound.cpp:112:
if(DirectSoundCreate(0, &_interface, 0) != DS_OK) return terminate(), false;
²: once I get this working, I'll add load/save support for the RTC
values. For now, the RTC data will be lost when you close the emulator.
Right now, you can set the date/time in real-time mode, and when you
start the game, the time will be correct, and the time will tick
forward. Note that it runs off emulated time instead of actual real
time, so if you fast-forward to 300%, one minute will be 20 seconds.
The really big limitation right now is that when you exit the game, and
restart it, and resume a new game, the hour spot gets corrupted, and
this seems to instantly kill your pet. Fun. This is crazy because the
commands the game sends to the TAMA interface are identical between
starting a new game and getting in-game versus loading a game.
It's likely going to require disassembling the game's code and seeing
what in the hell it's doing, but I am extremely bad at LR35092 assembly.
Hopefully endrift can help here :|

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

Update to 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.

Update to v094r28 release.
byuu says: This WIP substantially restructures the ruby API for the first time since that project started. It is my hope that with this restructuring, destruction of the ruby objects should now be deterministic, which should fix the crashing on closing the emulator on Linux. We'll see I guess ... either way, it removed two layers of wrappers from ruby, so it's a pretty nice code cleanup. It won't compile on Windows due to a few issues I didn't see until uploading the WIP, too lazy to upload another. But I fixed all the compilation issues locally, so it'll work on Windows again with the next WIP (unless I break something else.) (Kind of annoying that Linux defines glActiveTexture but Windows doesn't.) |

Update to v094r25 release.
byuu says: Windows port should run mostly well now, although exiting fullscreen breaks the application in a really bizarre way. (clicking on the window makes it sink to background rather than come to the foreground o_O) I also need to add the doModalChange => audio.clear() thing for the accursed menu stuttering with DirectSound. I also finished porting all of the ruby drivers over to the newer API changes from nall. Since I can't compile the Linux or OS X drivers, I have no idea if there are any typos that will result in compilation errors. If so, please let me know where they're at and I'll try and fix them. If they're simple, please try and fix them on your end to test further if you can. I'm hopeful the udev crash will be gone now that nall::string checks for null char* values passed to its stringify function. Of course, it's a problem it's getting a null value in the first place, so it may not work at all. If you can compile on Linux (or by some miracle, OS X), please test each video/audio/input driver if you don't mind, to make sure there's no "compiles okay but still typos exist" bugs. |

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. |

Include all the code from the bsnes v068 tarball.
byuu describes the changes since v067: This release officially introduces the accuracy and performance cores, alongside the previously-existing compatibility core. The accuracy core allows the most accurate SNES emulation ever seen, with every last processor running at the lowest possible clock synchronization level. The performance core allows slower computers the chance to finally use bsnes. It is capable of attaining 60fps in standard games even on an entry-level Intel Atom processor, commonly found in netbooks. The accuracy core is absolutely not meant for casual gaming at all. It is meant solely for getting as close to 100% perfection as possible, no matter the cost to speed. It should only be used for testing, development or debugging. The compatibility core is identical to bsnes v067 and earlier, but is now roughly 10% faster. This is the default and recommended core for casual gaming. The performance core contains an entirely new S-CPU core, with range-tested IRQs; and uses blargg's heavily-optimized S-DSP core directly. Although there are very minor accuracy tradeoffs to increase speed, I am confident that the performance core is still more accurate and compatible than any other SNES emulator. The S-CPU, S-SMP, S-DSP, SuperFX and SA-1 processors are all clock-based, just as in the accuracy and compatibility cores; and as always, there are zero game-specific hacks. Its compatibility is still well above 99%, running even the most challenging games flawlessly. If you have held off from using bsnes in the past due to its system requirements, please give the performance core a try. I think you will be impressed. I'm also not finished: I believe performance can be increased even further. I would also strongly suggest Windows Vista and Windows 7 users to take advantage of the new XAudio2 driver by OV2. Not only does it give you a performance boost, it also lowers latency and provides better sound by way of skipping an API emulation layer. Changelog: - Split core into three profiles: accuracy, compatibility and performance - Accuracy core now takes advantage of variable-bitlength integers (eg uint24_t) - Performance core uses a new S-CPU core, written from scratch for speed - Performance core uses blargg's snes_dsp library for S-DSP emulation - Binaries are now compiled using GCC 4.5 - Added a workaround in the SA-1 core for a bug in GCC 4.5+ - The clock-based S-PPU renderer has greatly improved OAM emulation; fixing Winter Gold and Megalomania rendering issues - Corrected pseudo-hires color math in the clock-based S-PPU renderer; fixing Super Buster Bros backgrounds - Fixed a clamping bug in the Cx4 16-bit triangle operation [Jonas Quinn]; fixing Mega Man X2 "gained weapon" star background effect - Updated video renderer to properly handle mixed-resolution screens with interlace enabled; fixing Air Strike Patrol level briefing screen - Added mightymo's 2010-08-19 cheat code pack - Windows port: added XAudio2 output support [OV2] - Source: major code restructuring; virtual base classes for processor - cores removed, build system heavily modified, etc. |
