Changelog:

  - FC: fixed three MOS6502 regressions [hex\_usr]
  - GBA: return fetched instruction instead of 0 for unmapped MMIO
    (passes all of endrift's I/O tests)
  - MD: fix VDP control port read Vblank bit to test screen height
    instead of hard-code 240 (fixes Phantasy Star IV)
  - MD: swap USP,SSP when executing an exception (allows Super Street
    Fighter II to run; but no sprites visible yet)
  - MD: grant 68K access to Z80 bus on reset (fixes vdpdoc demo ROM from
    freezing immediately)
  - SFC: reads from $00-3f,80-bf:4000-43ff no longer update MDR
    [p4plus2]
  - SFC: massive, eight-hour cleanup of WDC65816 CPU core ... still not
    complete

The big change this time around is the SFC CPU core. I've renamed
everything from R65816 to WDC65816, and then went through and tried to
clean up the code as much as possible. This core is so much larger than
the 6502 core that I chose cleaning up the code to rewriting it.

First off, I really don't care for the BitRange style functionality. It
was an interesting experiment, but its fatal flaw are that the types are
just bizarre, which makes them hard to pass around generically to other
functions as arguments. So I went back to the list of bools for flags,
and union/struct blocks for the registers.

Next, I renamed all of the functions to be more descriptive: eg
`op_read_idpx_w` becomes `instructionIndexedIndirectRead16`. `op_adc_b`
becomes `algorithmADC8`. And so forth.

I eliminated about ten instructions because they were functionally
identical sans the index, so I just added a uint index=0 parameter to
said functions. I added a few new ones (adjust→INC,DEC;
pflag→REP,SEP) where it seemed appropriate.

I cleaned up the disaster of the instruction switch table into something
a whole lot more elegant without all the weird argument decoding
nonsense (still need M vs X variants to avoid having to have 4-5
separate switch tables, but all the F/I flags are gone now); and made
some things saner, like the flag clear/set and branch conditions, now
that I have normal types for flags and registers once again.

I renamed all of the memory access functions to be more descriptive to
what they're doing: eg writeSP→push, readPC→fetch,
writeDP→writeDirect, etc. Eliminated some of the special read/write
modes that were only used in one single instruction.

I started to clean up some of the actual instructions themselves, but
haven't really accomplished much here. The big thing I want to do is get
rid of the global state (aa, rd, iaddr, etc) and instead use local
variables like I am doing with my other 65xx CPU cores now. But this
will take some time ... the algorithm functions depend on rd to be set
to work on them, rather than taking arguments. So I'll need to rework
that.

And then lastly, the disassembler is still a mess. I want to finish the
CPU cleanups, and then post a new WIP, and then rewrite the disassembler
after that. The reason being ... I want a WIP that can generate
identical trace logs to older versions, in case the CPU cleanup causes
any regressions. That way I can more easily spot the errors.

Oh ... and a bit of good news. v102 was running at ~140fps on the SNES
core. With the new support to suspend/resume WAI/STP, plus the internal
CPU registers not updating the MDR, the framerate dropped to ~132fps.
But with the CPU cleanups, performance went back to ~140fps. So, hooray.
Of course, without those two other improvements, we'd have ended up at
possibly ~146-148fps, but oh well.

Changelog:

  - GBA: fixed WININ2 reads, BG3PB writes [Jonas Quinn]
  - R65816: added support for yielding/resuming from WAI/STP¹
  - SFC: removed status.dmaCounter functionality (also fixes possible
    TAS desync issue)
  - tomoko: added support for combinatorial inputs [hex\_usr\]²
  - nall: fixed missing return value from Arithmetic::operator--
    [Hendricks266]

Now would be the time to start looking for major regressions with the
new GBA PPU renderer, I suppose ...

¹: this doesn't matter for the master thread (SNES CPU), but is
important for slave threads (SNES SA1). If you try to save a state and
the SA1 is inside of a WAI instruction, it will get stuck there forever.
This was causing attempts to create a save state in Super Bomberman
- Panic Bomber W to deadlock the emulator and crash it. This is now
finally fixed.

Note that I still need to implement similar functionality into the Mega
Drive 68K and Z80 cores. They still have the possibility of deadlocking.
The SNES implementation was more a dry-run test for this new
functionality. This possible crashing bug in the Mega Drive core is the
major blocking bug for a new official release.

²: many, many thanks to hex\_usr for coming up with a really nice
design. I mostly implemented it the exact same way, but with a few tiny
differences that don't really matter (display " and ", " or " instead of
" & ", " | " in the input settings windows; append → bind;
assignmentName changed to displayName.)

The actual functionality is identical to the old higan v094 and earlier
builds. Emulated digital inputs let you combine multiple possible keys
to trigger the buttons. This is OR logic, so you can map to eg
keyboard.up OR gamepad.up for instance. Emulated analog inputs always
sum together. Emulated rumble outputs will cause all mapped devices to
rumble, which is probably not at all useful but whatever. Hotkeys use
AND logic, so you have to press every key mapped to trigger them. Useful
for eg Ctrl+F to trigger fullscreen.

Obviously, there are cases where OR logic would be nice for hotkeys,
too. Eg if you want both F11 and your gamepad's guide button to trigger
the fullscreen toggle. Unfortunately, this isn't supported, and likely
won't ever be in tomoko. Something I might consider is a throw switch in
the configuration file to swap between AND or OR logic for hotkeys, but
I'm not going to allow construction of mappings like "(Keyboard.Ctrl and
Keyboard.F) or Gamepad.Guide", as that's just too complicated to code,
and too complicated to make a nice GUI to set up the mappings for.

Changelog:

  - nall: `#undef OUT` on Windows platform
  - GBA: add missing CPU prefetch state to serialization (this was
    breaking serialization in games using ROM prefetch)
  - GBA: reset all PPU data in the power() function (some things were
    missing before, causing issues on reset)
  - GBA: restored horizontal mosaic emulation to the new pixel-based
    renderer
  - GBA: fixed tilemap background horizontal flipping (Legend of Spyro -
    warning screen)
  - GBA: fixed d8 bits of scroll registers (ATV - Thunder Ridge Racers -
    menu screen)
  - SFC: DRAM refresh ticks the ALU MUL/DIV registers five steps forward
    [reported by kevtris]
  - SFC: merged dmaCounter and autoJoypadCounter into new shared
    clockCounter
      - left stub for old dmaCounter so that I can do some traces to
        ensure the new code's 100% identical

GBA save states would have been broken since whenever I emulated ROM
prefetch. I guess not many people are using the GBA core ...

Tim Allen 2461293ff0 Update to v102r19 release.
byuu says:

Note: add `#undef OUT` to the top of higan/gba/ppu/ppu.hpp to compile on
Windows (ugh ...) Now to await posts about this in four more threads
again ;)

Changelog:

  - GBA: rewrote PPU from a scanline-based renderer to a pixel-based
    renderer
  - ruby: fixed video/gdi bugs

Note that there's an approximately 21% speed penalty compared to v102r18
for the pixel-based renderer.

Also, horizontal mosaic effects are not yet implemented. But they should
be prior to v103. This one is a little tricky as it currently works on
fully rendered scanlines. I need to roll the mosaic into the background
renderers, and then for sprites, well ... see below.

The trickiest part by far of this new renderer is the object (sprite)
system. Unlike every other system I emulate, the GBA supports affine
rendering of its sprites. Or in other words, rotation effects. And it
also has a very complex priority system.

Right now, I can't see any way that the GBA PPU could render pixels in
real-time like this. My belief is that there's a 240-entry buffer that
fills up the next scanline's row of pixels. Which means it probably also
runs on the last scanline of Vblank so that the first scanline has
sprite data.

However, I didn't design my object renderer like this just yet. For now,
it creates a buffer of all 240 pixels right away at the start of the
scanline. I know\!\! That's technically scanline-based. But it's only
for fetching object tiledata, and it's only temporary.

What needs to happen is I need a way to run something like a "mini libco
thread" inside of the main thread, so that the object renderer can run
in parallel with the rest of the PPU, yet not be a hideous abomination
of a state machine, yet also not be horrendously slow as a full libco
thread would be.

I'm envisioning some kind of stackless yielding coroutine. But I'll need
to think through how to design that, given the absence of coroutines
even in C++17.

Tim Allen 67457fade4 Update to v099r13 release.
byuu says:

Changelog:
- GB core code cleanup completed
- GBA core code cleanup completed
- some more cleanup on missed processor/arm functions/variables
- fixed FC loading icarus bug
- "Load ROM File" icarus functionality restored
- minor code unification efforts all around (not perfect yet)
  - MMIO->IO
  - mmio.cpp->io.cpp
  - read,write->readIO,writeIO

It's been a very long work in progress ... starting all the way back with
v094r09, but the major part of the higan code cleanup is now completed! Of
course, it's very important to note that this is only for the basic style:

- under_score functions and variables are now camelCase
- return-type function-name() are now auto function-name() -> return-type
- Natural<T>/Integer<T> replace (u)intT_n types where possible
- signed/unsigned are now int/uint
- most of the x==true,x==false tests changed to x,!x

A lot of spot improvements to consistency, simplicity and quality have
gone in along the way, of course. But we'll probably never fully finishing
beautifying every last line of code in the entire codebase. Still,
this is a really great start. Going forward, WIP diffs should start
being smaller and of higher quality once again.

I know the joke is, "until my coding style changes again", but ... this
was way too stressful, way too time consuming, and way too risky. I'm
too old and tired now for extreme upheavel like this again. The only
major change I'm slowly mulling over would be renaming the using
Natural<T>/Integer<T> = (u)intT; shorthand to something that isn't as
easily confused with the (u)int_t types ... but we'll see. I'll definitely
continue to change small things all the time, but for the larger picture,
I need to just accept the style I have and live with it.
