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 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 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 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 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 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 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. |
