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 v103r20 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - ruby/audio/xaudio2: ported to new ruby API - ruby/video/cgl: ported to new ruby API (untested, won't compile) - ruby/video/directdraw: ported to new ruby API - ruby/video/gdi: ported to new ruby API - ruby/video/glx: ported to new ruby API - ruby/video/wgl: ported to new ruby API - ruby/video/opengl: code cleanups The macOS CGL driver is sure to have compilation errors. If someone will post the compilation error log, I can hopefully fix it in one or two iterations of WIPs. I am unable to test the Xorg GLX driver, because my FreeBSD desktop video card drivers do not support OpenGL 3.2. If the driver doesn't work, I'm going to need help tracking down what broke from the older releases. The real fun is still yet to come ... all the Linux-only drivers, where I don't have a single Linux machine to test with. Todo: - libco/fiber - libco/ucontext (I should really just delete this) - tomoko: hide main UI window when in exclusive fullscreen mode |

Update to v103r18 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - tomoko: improved handling of changing audio devices on the audio settings panel - ruby/audio/wasapi: added device enumeration and selection support¹ - ruby/audio/wasapi: release property store handle from audio device - ruby/audio/wasapi: fix exclusive mode buffer filling - ruby/video/glx2: ported to new API -- tested and confirmed working great² - ruby/video/sdl: fixed initialization -- tested and confirmed working on FreeBSD now³ - ruby/video/xv: ported to new API -- tested and mostly working great, sans fullscreen mode⁴ Errata: - accidentally changed "Driver Settings" label to "Driver" on the audio settings tab because I deleted the line and forgot the "Settings" part - need to use "return initialize();" from setDevice() in the WASAPI driver, instead of "return true;", so device selection is currently not functioning in this WIP for said driver ¹: for now, this will likely end up selecting the first available endpoint device, which is probably wrong. I need to come up with a system to expose good 'default values' when selecting new audio drivers, or changing audio device settings. ²: glx2 is a fallback driver for system with only OpenGL 2.0 and no OpenGL 3.2 drivers, such as FreeBSD 10.1 with AMD graphics cards. ³: although I really should track down why InputManager::poll() is crashing the emulator when Video::ready() returns false ... ⁴: really bizarrely, when entering fullscreen mode, it looks like the image was a triangle strip, and the bottom right triange is missing, and the top left triangle skews the entire image into it. I'm suspecting this is a Radeon driver bug when trying to create a 2560x1600 X-Video surface. The glitch persists when exiting fullscreen, too. If anyone can test the X-Video driver on their Linux/BSD system, it'd be appreciated. If it's just my video card, I'll ignore it. If not, hopefully someone can find the cause of the issue :| |

Update to v103r16 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - emulator/audio: added the ability to change the output frequency at run-time without emulator reset - tomoko: display video synchronize option again¹ - tomoko: Settings→Configuration expanded to Settings→{Video, Audio, Input, Hotkey, Advanced} Settings² - tomoko: fix default population of audio settings tab - ruby: Audio::frequency is a double now (to match both Emulator::Audio and ASIO)³ - tomoko: changing the audio device will repopulate the frequency and latency lists - tomoko: changing the audio frequency can now be done in real-time - ruby/audio/asio: added missing device() information, so devices can be changed now - ruby/audio/openal: ported to new API; added device selection support - ruby/audio/wasapi: ported to new API, but did not test yet (it's assuredly still broken)⁴ ¹: I'm uneasy about this ... but, I guess if people want to disable audio and just have smooth scrolling video ... so be it. With Screwtape's documentation, hopefully that'll help people understand that video synchronization always breaks audio synchronization. I may change this to a child menu that lets you pick between {no synchronization, video synchronization, audio synchronization} as a radio selection. ²: given how much more useful the video and audio tabs are now, I felt that four extra menu items were worth saving a click and going right to the tab you want. This also matches the behavior of the Tools menu displaying all tool options and taking you directly to each tab. This is kind of a hard change to get used to ... but I think it's for the better. ³: kind of stupid because I've never seen a hardware sound card where floor(frequency) != frequency, but whatever. Yay consistency. ⁴: I'm going to move it to be event-driven, and try to support 24-bit sample formats if possible. Who knows which cards that'll fix and which cards that'll break. I may end up making multiple WASAPI drivers so people can find one that actually works for them. We'll see. |

Update to v103r15 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - ruby: rewrote the API interfaces for Video, Audio, Input - ruby/audio: can now select the number of output channels (not useful to higan, sorry) - ruby/asio: various improvements - tomoko: audio settings panel can now select separate audio devices (for ASIO, OSS so far) - tomoko: audio settings panel frequency and latency lists are dynamically populated now Note: due to the ruby API rewrite, most drivers will not compile. Right now, the following work: - video: Direct3D, XShm - audio: ASIO, OSS - input: Windows, SDL, Xlib It takes a really long time to rewrite these (six hours to do the above), so it's going to be a while before we're back at 100% functionality again. Errata: - ASIO needs device(), setDevice() - need to call setDevice() at program startup to populate frequency/latency settings properly - changing the device and/or frequency needs to update the emulator resampler rates The really hard part is going to be the last one: the only way to change the emulator frequency is to flush all the audio streams and then recompute all the coefficients for the resamplers. If this is called during emulation, all audio streams will be erased and thus no sound will be output. I'll most likely be forced to simply ignore device/frequency changes until the user loads another game. It is at least possible to toggle the latency dynamically. |

Update to v103r13 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - gb/interface: fix Game Boy Color extension to be "gbc" and not "gb" [hex\_usr] - ms/interface: move Master System hardware controls below controller ports - sfc/ppu: improve latching behavior of BGnHOFS registers (not hardware verified) [AWJ] - tomoko/input: rework port/device mapping to support non-sequential ports and devices¹ - todo: should add move() to inputDevice.mappings.append and inputPort.devices.append - note: there's a weird GCC 4.9 bug with brace initialization of InputEmulator; have to assign each field separately - tomoko: all windows sans the main presentation window can be dismissed with the escape key - icarus: the single file selection dialog ("Load ROM Image...") can be dismissed with the escape key - tomoko: do not pause emulation when FocusLoss/Pause is set during exclusive fullscreen mode - hiro/(windows,gtk,qt): implemented Window::setDismissable() function (missing from cocoa port, sorry) - nall/string: fixed printing of largest possible negative numbers (eg `INT_MIN`) [Sintendo] - only took eight months! :D ¹: When I tried to move the Master System hardware port below the controller ports, I ran into a world of pain. The input settings list expects every item in the `InputEmulator<InputPort<InputDevice<InputMapping>>>>` arrays to be populated with valid results. But these would be sparsely populated based on the port and device IDs from inside higan. And that is done so that the Interface::inputPoll can have O(1) lookup of ports and devices. This worked because all the port and device IDs were sequential (they left no gaps in the maps upon creating the lists.) Unfortunately by changing the expectation of port ID to how it appears in the list, inputs would not poll correctly. By leaving them alone and just moving Hardware to the third position, the Game Gear would be missing port IDs of 0 and 1 (the controller ports of the Master System). Even by trying to make separate MasterSystemHardware and GameGearHardware ports, things still fractured when the devices were no longer contigious. I got pretty sick of this and just decided to give up on O(1) port/device lookup, and moved to O(n) lookup. It only knocked the framerate down by maybe one frame per second, enough to be in the margin of error. Inputs aren't polled *that* often for loops that usually terminate after 1-2 cycles to be too detrimental to performance. So the new input system now allows non-sequential port and device IDs. Remember that I killed input IDs a while back. There's never any reason for those to need IDs ... it was easier to just order the inputs in the order you want to see them in the user interface. So the input lookup is still O(1). Only now, everything's safer and I return a maybe<InputMapping&>, and won't crash out the program trying to use a mapping that isn't found for some reason. Errata: the escape key isn't working on the browser/message dialogs on Windows, because of course nothing can ever just be easy and work for me. If anyone else wouldn't mind looking into that, I'd greatly appreciate it. Having the `WM_KEYDOWN` test inside the main `Application_sharedProc`, it seems to not respond to the escape key on modal dialogs. If I put the `WM_KEYDOWN` test in the main window proc, then it doesn't seem to get called for `VK_ESCAPE` at all, and doesn't get called period for modal windows. So I'm at a loss and it's past 4AM here >_> |

Update to v103r12 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - ruby/video: cleaned up Direct3D9 driver and fixed catastrophic memory leak - ruby/video: added fullscreen exclusive mode support to the Direct3D9 driver¹ - ruby/video: minor cosmetic code cleanups to various drivers - tomoko: added support to always allow input when in fullscreen exclusive mode - tomoko: fixed window to not remove resizability flag when exiting fullscreen mode ¹: I am assuming that exclusive mode will try to capture the primary monitor. I don't know what will happen in multi-monitor setups, however, as I don't use such a setup here. Also, I am using `D3DPRESENT_DISCARD` instead of `D3DPRESENT_FLIP`. I'm not sure if this will prove better or worse, but I've heard it will waste less memory, and having a BackBufferCount of 1 should still result in page flipping anyway. The difference is supposedly just that you can't rely on the back buffer being a valid copy of the previous frame like you can with FLIP. Lastly, if you want Vsync, you can edit the configuration file to enable that, and then turn off audio sync. Errata: "pause emulation when focus is lost" is not working with exclusive mode. I need to add a check to never auto-pause when in exclusive mode. Thanks to bun for catching that one. |

Update to v103r11 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - tomoko: removed "Settings→Video Emulation→Overscan Mask" setting¹ - tomoko: remove a few unnecessary calls to resizeViewport on startup - tomoko: only resize main window from video settings when in adaptive or toggling adaptive mode² - hiro/windows: add `SWP_NOACTIVATE` flag to prevent focus stealing on resizing invisible windows³ - hiro/windows: suppress spurious API-generated `onSize()` callback when calling `setVisible()` ¹: it just seemed like bad design to default to overscan masking being disabled with overscan masks of 8 horizontal, 8 vertical out of the box. Users would adjust the sliders and not see anything happening. Instead, I've set the default masks to zero. If you want to turn off overscan masking, simply slide those to zero again. ²: I figure the only way we're going to be able to fairly evaluate Screwtape's suggestion is to try it both ways. And I will admit, I kind of like the way this works as well ... a lot more so than I thought I would, so I think it was a great suggestion. Still, now's the time if people have strong opinions on this. Be sure to try both r10 and r11 to compare. Barring no other feedback, I'm going to keep it this way. ³: this fixes the blinking of the main window on startup. Screwtape, thanks again for the improvement suggestions. At this point though, I am not using a tiling window manager. If you are able to patch hiro/gtk and/or hiro/qt (I mostly use GTK) to work with tiling window managers better, I wouldn't mind applying said patches, so long as they don't break things on my own Xfce desktop with xfwm4. Also, I noticed one issue with Xfce ... if the window is maximized and I try to call `Window::setSize()`, it's not actually removing the maximize flag. We'll need to look into how to add that to GTK, but I don't think it's a huge issue. A similar glitch happens on windows where the icon still reflects being maximized, but it does actually shrink, it just sticks to the top left corner of the screen. So this isn't really a critical bug, but would be extra polish. |

Update to v103r10 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - tomoko: video scaling options are now resolutions in the configuration file, eg "640x480", "960x720", "1280x960" - tomoko: main window is now always resizable instead of fixed width (also supports maximizing) - tomoko: added support for non-integral scaling in windowed mode - tomoko: made the quick/managed state messaging more consistent - tomoko: hide "Find Codes ..." button from the cheat editor window if the cheat database is not present - tomoko: per-game cheats.bml file now goes into the higan/ subfolder instead of the root folder So the way the new video system works is you have the following options on the video settings panel: Windowed mode: { Aspect correction, Integral scaling, Adaptive } Fullscreen mode: { Aspect correction, Integral scaling } (and one day, hopefully Exclusive will be added here) Whenever you adjust the overscan masking, or you change any of the windowed or fullscreen mode settings, or you choose a different video scale from the main menu, or you load a new game, or you unload a game, or you rotate the display of an emulated system, the resizeViewport logic will be invoked. This logic will remember the last option you chose for video scale, and base the new window size on that value as an upper limit of the new window size. If you are in windowed mode and have adaptive enabled, it will shrink the window to fit the contents of the emulated system's video output. Otherwise, if you are not in integral scaling mode, it will scale the video as large as possible to fit into the video scaled size you have selected. Otherwise, it will perform an integral scale and center the video inside of the viewport. If you are in fullscreen mode, it's much the same, only there is no adaptive mode. A major problem with Xorg is that it's basically impossible to change the resizability attribute of a window post-creation. You can do it, but all kinds of crazy issues start popping up. Like if you toggle fullscreen, then you'll find that the window won't grow past a certain fairly small size that it's already at, and cannot be shrunk. And the multipliers will stop expanding the window as large as they should. And sometimes the UI elements won't be placed in the correct position, or the video will draw over them. It's a big mess. So I have to keep the main window always resizable. Also, note that this is not a limitation of hiro. It's just totally broken in Xorg itself. No amount of fiddling has ever allowed this to work reliably for me on either GTK+ 2 or Qt 4. So what this means is ... the adaptive mode window is also resizable. What happens here is, whenever you drag the corners of the main window to resize it, or toggle the maximize window button, higan will bypass the video scale resizing code and instead act as though the adaptive scaling mode were disabled. So if integral scaling is checked, it'll begin scaling in integral mode. Otherwise, it'll begin scaling in non-integral mode. And because of this flexibility, it no longer made sense for the video scale menu to be a radio box. I know, it sucks to not see what the active selection is anymore, but ... say you set the scale to small, then you accidentally resized the window a little, but want it snapped back to the proper small resolution dimensions. If it were a radio item, you couldn't reselect the same option again, because it's already active and events don't propagate in said case. By turning them into regular menu options, the video scale menu can be used to restore window sizing. Errata: On Windows, the main window blinks a few times on first load. The fix for that is a safeguard in the video settings code, roughly like so ... but note you'd need to make a few other changes for this to work against v103r10: auto VideoSettings::updateViewport(bool firstRun) -> void { settings["Video/Overscan/Horizontal"].setValue(horizontalMaskSlider.position()); settings["Video/Overscan/Vertical"].setValue(verticalMaskSlider.position()); settings["Video/Windowed/AspectCorrection"].setValue(windowedModeAspectCorrection.checked()); settings["Video/Windowed/IntegralScaling"].setValue(windowedModeIntegralScaling.checked()); settings["Video/Windowed/AdaptiveSizing"].setValue(windowedModeAdaptiveSizing.checked()); settings["Video/Fullscreen/AspectCorrection"].setValue(fullscreenModeAspectCorrection.checked()); settings["Video/Fullscreen/IntegralScaling"].setValue(fullscreenModeIntegralScaling.checked()); horizontalMaskValue.setText({horizontalMaskSlider.position()}); verticalMaskValue.setText({verticalMaskSlider.position()}); if(!firstRun) presentation->resizeViewport(); } That'll get it down to one blink, as with v103 official. Not sure I can eliminate that one extra blink. I forgot to remove the setResizable toggle on fullscreen mode exit. On Windows, the main window will end up unresizable after toggling fullscreen. I missed that one because like I said, toggling resizability is totally broken on Xorg. You can fix that with the below change: auto Presentation::toggleFullScreen() -> void { if(!fullScreen()) { menuBar.setVisible(false); statusBar.setVisible(false); //setResizable(true); setFullScreen(true); if(!input->acquired()) input->acquire(); } else { if(input->acquired()) input->release(); setFullScreen(false); //setResizable(false); menuBar.setVisible(true); statusBar.setVisible(settings["UserInterface/ShowStatusBar"].boolean()); } resizeViewport(); } Windows is stealing focus on calls to resizeViewport(), so we need to deal with that somehow ... I'm not really concerned about the behavior of shrinking the viewport below the smallest multiplier for a given system. It might make sense to snap it to the window size and forego all other scaling, but honestly ... meh. I don't really care. Nobody sane is going to play like that. |

Update to v103r09 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - gba/apu: fixed wave RAM nibble ordering (fixes audio in Castlevania, PocketNES) - emulator: restructured video information to just a single videoResolution() → VideoResolution function - returns "projected size" (between 160x144 and 320x240) - "internal buffer size" (up to 1280x480) - returns aspect correction multiplier that is to be applied to the width field - the value could be < 1.0 to handle systems with taller pixels; although higan doesn't emulate such a system - tomoko: all calculations for scaling and overscan masking are done by the GUI now - tomoko: aspect correction can be enabled in either windowed or fullscreen mode separately; moved to Video settings panel - tomoko: video scaling multipliers (against 320x240) can now me modified from the default (2,3,4) via the configuration file - use this as a really barebones way of supporting high DPI monitors; although the GUI elements won't scale nicely - if you set a value less than two, or greater than your resolution divided by 320x240, it's your own fault when things blow up. I'm not babysitting anyone with advanced config-file only options. - tomoko: added new adaptive windowed mode - when enabled, the window will shrink to eliminate any black borders when loading a game or changing video settings. The window will not reposition itself. - tomoko: added new adaptive fullscreen mode - when enabled, the integral scaling will be disabled for fullscreen mode, forcing the video to fill at least one direction of the video monitor completely. I expect we will be bikeshedding for the next month on how to describe the new video options, where they should appear in the GUI, changes people want, etc ... but suffice to say, I'm happy with the functionality, so I don't intend to make changes to -what- things do, but I will entertain better ways to name things. |

Update to v103r08 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - emulator: improved aspect correction accuracy by using floating-point calculations - emulator: added videoCrop() function, extended videoSize() to take cropping parameters¹ - tomoko: the overscan masking function will now actually resize the viewport² - gba/cpu: fixed two-cycle delay on triggering DMAs; not running DMAs when the CPU is stopped - md/vdp: center video when overscan is disabled - pce/vce: resize video output from 1140x240 to 1120x240 - tomoko: resize window scaling from 326x240 to 320x240 - tomoko: changed save slot naming and status bar messages to indicate quick states vs managed states - tomoko: added increment/decrement quick state hotkeys - tomoko: save/load quick state hotkeys now save to slots 1-5 instead of always to 0 - tomoko: increased overscan range from 0-16 to 0-24 (in case you want to mask the Master System to 240x192) ¹: the idea here was to decouple raw pixels from overscan masking. Overscan was actually horrifically broken before. The Famicom outputs at 256x240, the Super Famicom at 512x480, and the Mega Drive at 1280x480. Before, a horizontal overscan mask of 8 would not reduce the Super Famicom or Mega Drive by nearly as much as the Famicom. WIth the new videoCrop() function, the internals of pixel size distortions can be handled by each individual core. ²: furthermore, by taking optional cropping information in videoSize(), games can scale even larger into the viewport window. So for example, before the Super Famicom could only scale to 1536x1440. But by cropping the vertical resolution by 6 (228p effectively, still more than NTSC can even show), I can now scale to 1792x1596. And wiht aspect correction, that becomes a perfect 8:7 ratio of 2048x1596, giving me perfectly crisp pixels without linear interpolation being required. Errata: for some reason, when I save a new managed state with the SFC core, the default description is being set to a string of what looks to be hex numbers. I found the cause ... I'll fix this in the next release. Note: I'd also like to hide the "find codes..." button if cheats.bml isn't present, as well as update the SMP TEST register comment from smp/timing.cpp |

Update to v102r21 release.
byuu says: 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. |

Update to v099r16 release (public beta).
byuu says: Changelog: - hiro: BrowserDialog can navigate up to drive selection on Windows - nall: (file,path,dir,base,prefix,suffix)name => Location::(file,path,dir,base,prefix,suffix) - higan/tomoko: rename audio filter label from "Sinc" to "IIR - Biquad" - higan/tomoko: allow loading files via icarus on the command-line once again - higan/tomoko: (begrudging) quick hack to fix presentation window focus on startup - higan/audio: don't divide output audio volume by number of streams - processor/r65816: fix a regression in (read,write)DB; fixes Taz-Mania - fixed compilation regressions on Windows and Linux I'm happy with where we are at with code cleanups and stability, so I'd like to release v100. But even though I'm not assigning any special significance to this version, we should probably test it more thoroughly first. |

Update to v099r10 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - higan/profile/ => higan/systems/ [temporary; unless we can't think of a better base folder name] - god-damn-better-have fixed the input polling bug - re-added command-line and drag-and-drop loading - command-line loading can now load multiple folders at once (SGB+GB game; Sufami Turbo+Slot A+Slot B; etc) - if you load just the base cart, it'll present you with a dialog to optionally load slotted cart(s) - MSU1 now goes through nall/vfs instead of directly accessing the filesystem - Famicom Cartridge, PPU cores updated to newer programming style - there's countless opportunity for BitField and .bits() in the PPU ... but I'm worried about breaking things If anyone has a working MSU1 game and can test the changes out, that'd be appreciated. I still don't have a test ROM on my dev box. I wouldn't worry too much about extensively testing the Famicom PPU changes just yet ... I'm still struggling with what to name the structs inside the classes between all of my emulators, and the BitField/.bits() changes will be much more important to test at a later date. The only use case left for Emulator::Interface::path(uint id) is for 21fx emulation. This peripheral loads a DLL/SO via LoadLibrary/dlopen, which do not have any official ways to open a file in RAM. I'm very hesitant to use the portable trick of writing the memory to a temporary file, loading it, and deleting the temporary file once done ... it's a real waste of disk activity. I might make something like vfs::file::isVirtual->bool,path()->string to get around this. But even once I do, the underlying LoadLibrary/dlopen call is still going to be direct disk access. |

Update to v098r14 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - improved attenuation of biquad filter by computing butterworth Q coefficients correctly (instead of using the same constant) - adding 1e-25 to each input sample into the biquad filters to try and prevent denormalization - updated normalization from [0.0 to 1.0] to [-1.0 to +1.0]; volume/reverb happen in floating-point mode now - good amount of work to make the base Emulator::Audio support any number of output channels - so that we don't have to do separate work on left/right channels; and can instead share the code for each channel - Emulator::Interface::audioSample(int16 left, int16 right); changed to: - Emulator::Interface::audioSample(double* samples, uint channels); - samples are normalized [-1.0 to +1.0] - for now at least, channels will be the value given to Emulator::Audio::reset() - fixed GUI crash on startup when audio driver is set to None I'm probably going to be updating ruby to accept normalized doubles as well; but I'm not sure if I will try and support anything other 2-channel audio output. It'll depend on how easy it is to do so; perhaps it'll be a per-driver setting. The denormalization thing is fierce. If that happens, it drops the emulator framerate from 220fps to about 20fps for Game Boy emulation. And that happens basically whenever audio output is silent. I'm probably also going to make a nall/denormal.hpp file at some point with platform-specific functionality to set the CPU state to "denormals as zero" where applicable. I'll still add the 1e-25 offset (inaudible) as another fallback. |

Update to v098r13 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - nall/dsp returns with new iir/biquad.hpp and resampler/cubic.hpp files - nall/queue.hpp added (simple ring buffer ... nall/vector wouldn't cause too many moves with FIFO) - audio streams now only buffer 20ms; so even if multiple audio streams desync, latency can never exceed 20ms - replaced blackman windwed sinc FIR hermite audio filter with transposed direct form II biquadratic sixth-order IIR butterworth filter (better attenuation of frequencies above 20KHz, faster, no need for decimation, less code) - put in experimental eight-tap echo filter (a lot better than what I had before, but still rather weak) - substantial cleanups to the SuperFX GSU processor core (slightly faster, 479KB->100KB object file, 42.7KB->33.4KB source code size, way less code duplication) We'll definitely want to test the whole SuperFX library (not many games) just to make sure there's no regressions caused by this one. Not sure what I want to do with audio processing effects yet. I've always really wanted lots of fun controls to customize audio, and now finally with this new biquad filter, I can finally start implementing real effects. For instance, an equalizer wouldn't be too complicated anymore. The new reverb effect is still a poor man's version. I need to find human readable source for implementing a comb-filter properly. I'm pretty sure I can already treat nall::queue as an all-pass filter since all that does is phase shift (fancy audio term for "delay audio"). What's really going to be hard is figuring out how to expose user-friendly settings for controlling it. It looks like you need a bunch of coprime coefficients, and I don't think casual users are going to be able to hand-enter coprime values to get the echo effect they want. I uh ... don't even know how to calculate coprime values dynamically right now >_> But we're going to have to, as they are correlated to the output sampling rate. We'll definitely want to make some audio profiles so that users can quickly select pre-configured themes that sound nice, but expose the underlying coefficients so that they can tweak stuff to their liking. This isn't just about higan, this is about me trying to learn digital signal processing, so please don't be too upset about feature creep or anything on this. Anyway ... I'm having some difficulties with my audio right now. When the reverb effect is enabled, there's a bunch of static on system reset for just a moment. But this should not be possible. nall::queue is initializing all previous reverb sample elements to 0.0. I don't understand where static is coming in from. Further, we have the same issue with both the windowed sinc and the biquad filters ... a bit of a popping sound when starting a game. Any help tracking this down would be appreciated. There's also one really annoying issue ... I can't seem to do reverb or volume adjustments with normalized samples. If I say "volume *= 0.5" in higan/audio/audio.cpp line 68, it doesn't just halve the volume, it adds a whole bunch of distortion. This makes absolutely zero sense to me. The sample values are between 0.0 (mute) and 1.0 (full volume) here, so multiplying a double by 0.5 shouldn't cause distortion. So right now, I'm doing these adjustments with less precision after denormalizing back to int16. Anyone ever see something like that? :/ |

Update to v098r09 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - fixed major nall/vector/prepend bug - renamed hiro/ListView to hiro/TableView - added new hiro/ListView control which is a simplified abstraction of hiro/TableView - updated higan's cheat database window and icarus' scan dialog to use the new ListView control - compilation works once again on all platforms (Windows, Cocoa, GTK, Qt) - the loki skeleton compiles once again (removed nall/DSP references; updated port/device ID names) Small catch: need to capture layout resize events internally in Windows to call resizeColumns. For now, just resize the icarus window to get it to use the full window width for list view items. |

Update to v098r06 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - emulation cores now refresh video from host thread instead of cothreads (fix AMD crash) - SFC: fixed another bug with leap year months in SharpRTC emulation - SFC: cleaned up camelCase on function names for armdsp,epsonrtc,hitachidsp,mcc,nss,sharprtc classes - GB: added MBC1M emulation (requires manually setting mapper=MBC1M in manifest.bml for now, sorry) - audio: implemented Emulator::Audio mixer and effects processor - audio: implemented Emulator::Stream interface - it is now possible to have more than two audio streams: eg SNES + SGB + MSU1 + Voicer-Kun (eventually) - audio: added reverb delay + reverb level settings; exposed balance configuration in UI - video: reworked palette generation to re-enable saturation, gamma, luminance adjustments - higan/emulator.cpp is gone since there was nothing left in it I know you guys are going to say the color adjust/balance/reverb stuff is pointless. And indeed it mostly is. But I like the idea of allowing some fun special effects and configurability that isn't system-wide. Note: there seems to be some kind of added audio lag in the SGB emulation now, and I don't really understand why. The code should be effectively identical to what I had before. The only main thing is that I'm sampling things to 48000hz instead of 32040hz before mixing. There's no point where I'm intentionally introducing added latency though. I'm kind of stumped, so if anyone wouldn't mind taking a look at it, it'd be much appreciated :/ I don't have an MSU1 test ROM, but the latency issue may affect MSU1 as well, and that would be very bad. |

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 v097r02 release.
byuu says: Note: balanced/performance profiles still broken, sorry. Changelog: - added nall/GNUmakefile unique() function; used on linking phase of higan - added nall/unique_pointer - target-tomoko and {System}::Video updated to use unique_pointer<ClassName> instead of ClassName* [1] - locate() updated to search multiple paths [2] - GB: pass gekkio's if_ie_registers and boot_hwio-G test ROMs - FC, GB, GBA: merge video/ into the PPU cores - ruby: fixed ~AudioXAudio2() typo [1] I expected this to cause new crashes on exit due to changing the order of destruction of objects (and deleting things that weren't deleted before), but ... so far, so good. I guess we'll see what crops up, especially on OS X (which is already crashing for unknown reasons on exit.) [2] right now, the search paths are: programpath(), {configpath(), "higan/"}, {localpath(), "higan/"}; but we can add as many more as we want, and we can also add platform-specific versions. |

Update to v096r07 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - configuration files are now stored in localpath() instead of configpath() - Video gamma/saturation/luminance sliders are gone now, sorry - added Video Filter->Blur Emulation [1] - added Video Filter->Scanline Emulation [2] - improvements to GBA audio emulation (fixes Minish Cap) [Jonas Quinn] [1] For the Famicom, this does nothing. For the Super Famicom, this performs horizontal blending for proper pseudo-hires translucency. For the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance, this performs interframe blending (each frame is the average of the current and previous frame), which is important for things like the GBVideoPlayer. [2] Right now, this only applies to the Super Famicom, but it'll come to the Famicom in the future. For the Super Famicom, this option doesn't just add scanlines, it simulates the phosphor decay that's visible in interlace mode. If you observe an interlaced game like RPM Racing on a real SNES, you'll notice that even on perfectly still screens, the image appears to shake. This option emulates that effect. Note 1: the buffering right now is a little sub-optimal, so there will be a slight speed hit with this new support. Since the core is now generating native ARGB8888 colors, it might as well call out to the interface to lock/unlock/refresh the video, that way it can render directly to the screen. Although ... that might not be such a hot idea, since the GBx interframe blending reads from the target buffer, and that tends to be a catastrophic option for performance. Note 2: the balanced and performance profiles for the SNES are completely busted again. This WIP took 6 1/2 hours, and I'm exhausted. Very much not looking forward to working on those, since those two have all kinds of fucked up speedup tricks for non-interlaced and/or non-hires video modes. Note 3: if you're on Windows and you saved your system folders somewhere else, now'd be a good time to move them to %localappdata%/higan |

Update to 20160106 OS X Preview for Developers release.
byuu says: New update. Most of the work today went into eliminating hiro::Image from all objects in all ports, replacing with nall::image. That took an eternity. Changelog: - fixed crashing bug when loading games [thanks endrift!!] - toggling "show status bar" option adjusts window geometry (not supposed to recenter the window, though) - button sizes improved; icon-only button icons no longer being cut off |

Update to v096r01 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - restructured the project and removed a whole bunch of old/dead directives from higan/GNUmakefile - huge amounts of work on hiro/cocoa (compiles but ~70% of the functionality is commented out) - fixed a masking error in my ARM CPU disassembler [Lioncash] - SFC: decided to change board cic=(411,413) back to board region=(ntsc,pal) ... the former was too obtuse If you rename Boolean (it's a problem with an include from ruby, not from hiro) and disable all the ruby drivers, you can compile an OS X binary, but obviously it's not going to do anything. It's a boring WIP, I just wanted to push out the project structure change now at the start of this WIP cycle. |
