Update to v094r09 release.
byuu says: This will easily be the biggest diff in the history of higan. And not in a good way. * target-higan and target-loki have been blown away completely * nall and ruby massively updated * phoenix replaced with hiro (pretty near a total rewrite) * target-higan restarted using hiro (just a window for now) * all emulation cores updated to compile again * installation changed to not require root privileges (installs locally) For the foreseeable future (maybe even permanently?), the new higan UI will only build under Linux/BSD with GTK+ 2.20+. Probably the most likely route for Windows/OS X will be to try and figure out how to build hiro/GTK on those platforms, as awful as that would be. The other alternative would be to produce new UIs for those platforms ... which would actually be a good opportunity to make something much more user friendly. Being that I just started on this a few hours ago, that means that for at least a few weeks, don't expect to be able to actually play any games. Right now, you can pretty much just compile the binary and that's it. It's quite possible that some nall changes didn't produce compilation errors, but will produce runtime errors. So until the UI can actually load games, we won't know if anything is broken. But we should mostly be okay. It was mostly just trim<1> -> trim changes, moving to Hash::SHA256 (much cleaner), and patching some reckless memory copy functions enough to compile. Progress isn't going to be like it was before: I'm now dividing my time much thinner between studying and other hobbies. My aim this time is not to produce a binary for everyone to play games on. Rather, it's to keep the emulator alive. I want to be able to apply critical patches again. And I would also like the base of the emulator to live on, for use in other emulator frontends that utilize higan. |

Update to v094r08 release.
byuu says:
Lots of changes this time around. FreeBSD stability and compilation is
still a work in progress.
FreeBSD 10 + Clang 3.3 = 108fps
FreeBSD 10 + GCC 4.7 = 130fps
Errata 1: I've been fighting that god-damned endian.h header for the
past nine WIPs now. The above WIP isn't building now because FreeBSD
isn't including headers before using certain types, and you end up with
a trillion error messages. So just delete all the endian.h includes from
nall/intrinsics.hpp to build.
Errata 2: I was trying to match g++ and g++47, so I used $(findstring
g++,$(compiler)), which ends up also matching clang++. Oops. Easy fix,
put Clang first and then else if g++ next. Not ideal, but oh well. All
it's doing for now is declaring -fwrapv twice, so you don't have to fix
it just yet. Probably just going to alias g++="g++47" and do exact
matching instead.
Errata 3: both OpenGL::term and VideoGLX::term are causing a core dump
on BSD. No idea why. The resources are initialized and valid, but
releasing them crashes the application.
Changelog:
- nall/Makefile is more flexible with overriding $(compiler), so you can
build with GCC or Clang on BSD (defaults to GCC now)
- PLATFORM_X was renamed to PLATFORM_XORG, and it's also declared with
PLATFORM_LINUX or PLATFORM_BSD
- PLATFORM_XORG probably isn't the best name ... still thinking about
what best to call LINUX|BSD|SOLARIS or ^(WINDOWS|MACOSX)
- fixed a few legitimate Clang warning messages in nall
- Compiler::VisualCPP is ugly as hell, renamed to Compiler::CL
- nall/platform includes nall/intrinsics first. Trying to move away from
testing for _WIN32, etc directly in all files. Work in progress.
- nall turns off Clang warnings that I won't "fix", because they aren't
broken. It's much less noisy to compile with warnings on now.
- phoenix gains the ability to set background and foreground colors on
various text container widgets (GTK only for now.)
- rewrote a lot of the MSU1 code to try and simplify it. Really hope
I didn't break anything ... I don't have any MSU1 test ROMs handy
- SNES coprocessor audio is now mixed as sclamp<16>(system_sample
+ coprocessor_sample) instead of sclamp<16>((sys + cop) / 2)
- allows for greater chance of aliasing (still low, SNES audio is
quiet), but doesn't cut base system volume in half anymore
- fixed Super Scope and Justifier cursor colors
- use input.xlib instead of input.x ... allows Xlib input driver to be
visible on Linux and BSD once again
- make install and make uninstall must be run as root again; no longer
using install but cp instead for BSD compatibility
- killed $(DESTDIR) ... use make prefix=$DESTDIR$prefix instead
- you can now set text/background colors for the loki console via (eg):
- settings.terminal.background-color 0x000000
- settings.terminal.foreground-color 0xffffff

Update to v093r02 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - nall: fixed major memory leak in string class - ruby: video shaders support #define-based settings now - phoenix/GTK+: support > 256x256 icons for window / task bar / alt-tab - sfc: remove random/ and config/, merge into system/ - ethos: delete higan.png (48x48), replace with higan512.png (512x512) as new higan.png - ethos: default gamma to 100% (no color adjustment) - ethos: use "Video Shaders/Display Emulation/" instead of "Video Shaders/Emulation/" - use g++ instead of g++-4.7 (g++ -v must be >= 4.7) - use -std=c++11 instead of -std=gnu++11 - applied a few patches from Debian upstream to make their packaging job easier So because colors are normalized in GLSL, I won't be able to offer video shaders absolute color literals. We will have to perform basic color conversion inside the core. As such, the current plan is to create some sort of Emulator::Settings interface. With that, I'll connect an option for color correction, which will be on by default. For FC/SFC, that will mean gamma correction (darker / stronger colors), and for GB/GBC/GBA, it will mean simulating the weird brightness levels of the displays. I am undecided on whether to use pea soup green for the GB or not. By not doing so, it'll be easier for the display emulation shader to do it. |

Update to v093r01 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- added SA-1 MDR; fixes bug in SD Gundam G-Next where the main
battleship was unable to fire
- added out-of-the-box support for any BSD running Clang 3.3+ (FreeBSD
10+, notably)
- added new video shader, "Display Emulation", which changes the shader
based on the emulated system
- fixed the home button to go to your default library path
- phoenix: Windows port won't send onActivate unless an item is selected
(prevents crashing on pressing enter in file dialog)
- ruby: removed vec4 position from out Vertex {} (helps AMD cards)
- shaders: updated all shaders to use texture() instead of texture2D()
(helps AMD cards)
The "Display Emulation" option works like this: when selected, it tries
to load "<path>/Video Shaders/Emulation/<systemName>.shader/"; otherwise
it falls back to the blur shader. <path> is the usual (next to binary,
then in <config>/higan, then in /usr/share/higan, etc); and <systemName>
is "Famicom", "Super Famicom", "Game Boy", "Game Boy Color", "Game Boy
Advance"
To support BSD, I had to modify the $(platform) variable to
differentiate between Linux and BSD.
As such, the new $(platform) values are:
win -> windows
osx -> macosx
x -> linux or bsd
I am also checking uname -s instead of uname -a now. No reason to
potentially match the hostname to the wrong OS type.

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. |
