Changelog:
- S-SMP core code style updated
- S-SMP loads reset vector from IPLROM ($fffe-ffff)
- sfc/base => sfc/expansion
- system/input => system/device
- added expansion/eBoot (simulation of defparam's SNES-Boot device)
- expansion port device can now be selected from Super Famicom menu
option
- improved GBA MROM/SRAM reading
endrift's memory test is up to 1388/1552.
Note: I added the expansion port devices to the same group as controller
ports. I also had to move "None" to the top of the list. Before v096,
I am going to have to add caching of port selections to the
configuration file, check the proper default item in the system menu,
and remove the items with no mappings from the input configuration
window. Lots of work >_>

Changelog:
- GBA emulation accuracy has been substantially improved [Cydrak]
- GBA ldm bug fixed [jchadwick]
- SNES SuperFX timing has been improved [AWJ, ARM9, qwertymodo]
- SNES accuracy profile is now ~8% faster than before
- you no longer need to copy the .sys profile folders to
~/Emulation/System
- you still need to put bios.rom (GBA BIOS) into Game Boy
Advance.sys to use GBA emulation!!
- you no longer need to pre-configure inputs before first use
- loading games / changing window size won't recenter window
- checkboxes in cheat editor update correctly
- can't type into state manager description textbox on an empty slot
- typing in state manager description box works correctly; and updates
list view correctly
- won't show files that match game extensions anymore (only game folders
show up)
- libco Win64 port fixes with FPU^H^H^H XMM registers
- libco ARM port now available; so you too can play at 15fps on an RPi2!
[jessedog3, Cydrak]
- controller selection will check the default item in the menu now on
game load
- as usual, a whole lot of other stuff I'm forgetting
Known issues:
- type-ahead find does not work in list views (eg game selection
dialog); I don't know how to fix this
- there's no game file importer yet
- there's no shader support yet
- there's no profiler available for the timing panel, you need to adjust
values manually for now

Fixes SuperFX fmult, lmult timings; rambr, bramr and clsr assignment
masking. Implements true GBA ROM prefetch (buggy, lower test score, but
runs Mario & Luigi without crashing on battles anymore.)
byuu says:
Small WIP, just fixes the timings for GSU multiply.
However, the actual product may still be wrong when CLSR and MS0 are
both set. Since I wasn't 'corrupting' the value in said case before,
then this behavior can only be better than before.
Turned the (cache,memory)_access_timing into functions that compute the
values; and pulled "clockspeed" into GSU.
Also, I'm thinking it might be kind of pointless to have clockspeed at
all. Supposedly even the Mario Chip can run at 21.48MHz anyway.
Enforcing 10.74MHz mode seems kind of silly. If we change it to just be
a "default value for CLSR", then we can just inline the memory access
tests without the need for the access_timing functions (literally just
clsr?2:1 then)
Slight compilation bug: go to processor/gsu/registers.hpp:33 and add
reg16_t() = default;
I missed it due to a partial recompile. Too lazy to upload another WIP
just for that.
Probably not worth doing much SuperFX testing just yet, as it looks like
they're doing some other tests at the moment on NESdev.

Changelog:
- importing a game won't show message box on success
- importing a game will select the game that was imported in the list
- caveat: GTK+ port doesn't seem to be removing focus from item 0 even
though the selection is on item 2
- Game Boy audio reduced in volume by 50%
- Game Boy Advance audio reduced in volume by 50%
- Game Boy internally mixes audio at 2MHz now
- Game Boy Advance's Game Boy audio hardware internally mixes audio at
2MHz now
- Game Boy Color doesn't sort sprites by X-coordinate
- Game Boy Color allows transparency on BGpriority pixels
- caveat: this seems to allow sprites to appear on top of windows
- Game Boy Color VRAM DMA transfers 16 bytes in 8 clocks (or 16 clocks
in double speed mode)
- Game Boy Color VRAM DMA masks low 4-bits of source and destination
address
- Game Boy Color VRAM DMA only allows reads from ROM or RAM
- Game Boy Color VRAM DMA only allows writes to VRAM
- fixed a bug in dereferencing a nullptr from pObject::find(), should
fix crash when pressing enter key on blank windows
- fixed Windows RadioItem selection
- Game Boy Advance color emulation code added

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.

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.
