This release includes Nintendo Super System DIP switch emulation and
improved PPU rendering accuracy, among other things.
Changelog:
- added Nintendo Super System DIP switch emulation [requires XML setting
maps]
- emulated Super Game Boy $6001 VRAM offset selection port [ikari_01]
- fixed randomness initialization of S-SMP port registers [fixes
DBZ:Hyper Dimension and Ninja Warriors]
- mosaic V-countdown caches BGOFS registers (fixes Super Turrican
2 effect) [reported by zal16]
- non-mosaic BGOFS registers are always cached at H=60 (fixes NHL '94
and Super Mario World flickering)
- fixed 2xSaI family of renderers on 64-bit systems
- cleaned up SMP source code
- phoenix: fixed a bug when closing bsnes while minimized
Please note that the mosaic BGOFS fix is only for the accuracy profile.
Unfortunately the older scanline-based compatibility renderer's code is
nearly unmaintainable at this point, so I haven't yet been able to
backport the fixes.
Also, I have written a new cycle-accurate SMP core that does not use
libco. The aim is to implement it into Snes9X v1.54. But it would of
course be prudent to test the new core first.
[...then in the next post...]
Decided to keep that Super Mario World part a surprise, so ... surprise!
Realized while working on the Super Turrican 2 mosaic fix, and from
looking at NHL '94 and Dai Kaijuu Monogatari 2's behavior, that BGOFS
registers must be cached between H=0 and H=88 for the entire scanline
... they can't work otherwise, and it'd be stupid for the PPU to re-add
the offset to the position on every pixel anyway. I chose H=60 for now.
Once I am set up with the RGB monitor and the North American cartridge
dumping is completed, I'll set it on getting exact timings for all these
things. It'll probably require a smallish speed hit to allow exact-cycle
timing events for everything in the PPU.
