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 v101r06 release.
byuu says:
I reworked the video sizing code. Ended up wasting five fucking hours
fighting GTK. When you call `gtk_widget_set_size_request`, it doesn't
actually happen then. This is kind of a big deal because when I then go
to draw onto the viewport, the actual viewport child window is still the
old size, so the image gets distorted. It recovers in a frame or so with
emulation, but if we were to put a still image on there, it would stay
distorted.
The first thought is, `while(gtk_events_pending())
gtk_main_iteration_do(false);` right after the `set_size_request`. But
nope, it tells you there's no events pending. So then you think, go
deeper, use `XPending()` instead. Same thing, GTK hasn't actually issued
the command to Xlib yet. So then you think, if the widget is realized,
just call a blocking `gtk_main_iteration`. One call does nothing, two
calls results in a deadlock on the second one ... do it before program
startup, and the main window will never appear. Great.
Oh, and it's not just the viewport. It's also the widget container area
of the windows, as well as the window itself, as well as the fullscreen
mode toggle effect. They all do this.
For the latter three, I couldn't find anything that worked, so I just
added 20ms loops of constantly calling `gtk_main_iteration_do(false)`
after each one of those things. The downside here is toggling the status
bar takes 40ms, so you'll see it and it'll feel a tiny bit sluggish.
But I can't have a 20ms wait on each widget resize, that would be
catastrophic to performance on windows with lots of widgets.
I tried hooking configure-event and size-allocate, but they were very
unreliable. So instead I ended up with a loop that waits up to a maximm
of 20ms that inspects the `widget->allocation.(width,height)` values
directly and waits for them to be what we asked for with
`set_size_request`.
There was some extreme ugliness in GTK with calling
`gtk_main_iteration_do` recursively (`hiro::Widget::setGeometry` is
called recursively), so I had to lock it to only happen on the top level
widgets (the child ones should get resized while waiting on the
top-level ones, so it should be fine in practice), and also only run it
on realized widgets.
Even still, I'm getting ~3 timeouts when opening the settings dialog in
higan, but no other windows. But, this is the best I can do for now.
And the reason for all of this pain? Yeah, updated the video code.
So the Emulator::Interface now has this:
struct VideoSize { uint width, height; }; //or requiem for a tuple
auto videoSize() -> VideoSize;
auto videoSize(uint width, uint height, bool arc) -> VideoSize;
The first function, for now, is just returning the literal surface size.
I may remove this ... one thing I want to allow for is cores that send
different texture sizes based on interlace/hires/overscan/etc settings.
The second function is more interesting. Instead of having the UI trying
to figure out sizing, I figure the emulation cores can do a better job
and we can customize it per-core now. So it gets the window's width and
height, and whether the user asked for aspect correction, and then
computes the best width/height ratio possible. For now they're all just
doing multiples of a 1x scale to the UI 2x,3x,4x modes.
We still need a third function, which will probably be what I repurpose
videoSize() for: to return the 'effective' size for pixel shaders, to
then feed into ruby, to then feed into quark, to then feed into our
shaders. Since shaders use normalized coordinates for pixel fetching,
this should work out just fine. The real texture size will be exposed to
quark shaders as well, of course.
Now for the main window ... it's just hard-coded to be 640x480, 960x720,
1280x960 for now. It works nicely for some cores on some modes, not so
much for others. Work in progress I guess.
I also took the opportunity to draw the about dialog box logo on the
main window. Got a bit fancy and used the old spherical gradient and
impose functionality of nall/image on it. Very minor highlight, nothing
garish. Just something nicer than a solid black window.
If you guys want to mess around with sizes, placements, and gradient
styles/colors/shapes ... feel free. If you come up with something nicer,
do share.
That's what led to all the GTK hell ... the logo wasn't drawing right as
you resized the window. But now it is, though I am not at all happy with
the hacking I had to do.
I also had to improve the video update code as a result of this:
- when you unload a game, it blacks out the screen
- if you are not quitting the emulator, it'll draw the logo; if
you are, it won't
- when you load a game, it black out the logo
These options prevent any unsightliness from resizing the viewport with
image data on it already
I need to redraw the logo when toggling fullscreen with no game loaded
as well for Windows, it seems.

Update to v100r16 release.
byuu says: (Windows users may need to include <sys/time.h> at the top of nall/chrono.hpp, not sure.) Unchangelog: - forgot to add the Scheduler clock=0 fix because I have the memory of a goldfish Changelog: - new icarus database with nine additional games - hiro(GTK,Qt) won't constantly write its settings.bml file to disk anymore - added latency simulator for fun (settings.bml => Input/Latency in milliseconds) So the last one ... I wanted to test out nall::chrono, and I was also thinking that by polling every emulated frame, it's pretty wasteful when you are using Fast Forward and hitting 200+fps. As I've said before, calls to ruby::input::poll are not cheap. So to get around this, I added a limiter so that if you called the hardware poll function within N milliseconds, it'll return without doing any actual work. And indeed, that increases my framerate of Zelda 3 uncapped from 133fps to 142fps. Yay. But it's not a "real" speedup, as it only helps you when you exceed 100% speed (theoretically, you'd need to crack 300% speed since the game itself will poll at 16ms at 100% speed, but yet it sped up Zelda 3, so who am I to complain?) I threw the latency value into the settings file. It should be 16, but I set it to 5 since that was the lowest before it started negatively impacting uncapped speeds. You're wasting your time and CPU cycles setting it lower than 5, but if people like placebo effects it might work. Maybe I should let it be a signed integer so people can set it to -16 and think it's actually faster :P (I'm only joking. I took out the 96000hz audio placebo effect as well. Not really into psychological tricks anymore.) But yeah seriously, I didn't do this to start this discussion again for the billionth time. Please don't go there. And please don't tell me this WIP has higher/lower latency than before. I don't want to hear it. The only reason I bring it up is for the fun part that is worth discussing: put up or shut up time on how sensitive you are to latency! You can set the value above 5 to see how games feel. I personally can't really tell a difference until about 50. And I can't be 100% confident it's worse until about 75. But ... when I set it to 150, games become "extra difficult" ... the higher it goes, the worse it gets :D For this WIP, I've left no upper limit cap. I'll probably set a cap of something like 500ms or 1000ms for the official release. Need to balance user error/trolling with enjoyability. I'll think about it. [...] Now, what I worry about is stupid people seeing it and thinking it's an "added latency" setting, as if anyone would intentionally make things worse by default. This is a limiter. So if 5ms have passed since the game last polled, and that will be the case 99.9% of the time in games, the next poll will happen just in time, immediately when the game polls the inputs. Thus, a value below 1/<framerate>ms is not only pointless, if you go too low it will ruin your fast forward max speeds. I did say I didn't want to resort to placebo tricks, but I also don't want to spark up public discussion on this again either. So it might be best to default Input/Latency to 0ms, and internally have a max(5, latency) wrapper around the value. |

Update to v099r15 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- nall::lstring -> nall::string_vector
- added IntegerBitField<type, lo, hi> -- hopefully it works correctly...
- Multitap 1-4 -> Super Multitap 2-5
- fixed SFC PPU CGRAM read regression
- huge amounts of SFC PPU IO register cleanups -- .bits really is lovely
- re-added the read/write(VRAM,OAM,CGRAM) helpers for the SFC PPU
- but they're now optimized to the realities of the PPU (16-bit data
sizes / no address parameter / where appropriate)
- basically used to get the active-display overrides in a unified place;
but also reduces duplicate code in (read,write)IO

Update to v098r08 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - nall/vector rewritten from scratch - higan/audio uses nall/vector instead of raw pointers - higan/sfc/coprocessor/sdd1 updated with new research information - ruby/video/glx and ruby/video/glx2: fuck salt glXSwapIntervalEXT! The big change here is definitely nall/vector. The Windows, OS X and Qt ports won't compile until you change some first/last strings to left/right, but GTK will compile. I'd be really grateful if anyone could stress-test nall/vector. Pretty much everything I do relies on this class. If we introduce a bug, the worst case scenario is my entire SFC game dump database gets corrupted, or the byuu.org server gets compromised. So it's really critical that we test the hell out of this right now. The S-DD1 changes mean you need to update your installation of icarus again. Also, even though the Lunar FMV never really worked on the accuracy core anyway (it didn't initialize the PPU properly), it really won't work now that we emulate the hard-limit of 16MiB for S-DD1 games. |

Update to v095r03 release and icarus 20151107.
byuu says:
Note: you will need the new icarus (and please use the "no manifest"
system) to run GBA games with this WIP.
Changelog:
- fixed caching of r(d) to pass armwrestler tests [Jonas Quinn]
- DMA to/from GBA BIOS should fail [Cydrak]
- fixed sign-extend and rotate on ldrs instructions [Cydrak]
- fixed 8-bit SRAM reading/writing [byuu]
- refactored GBA/cartridge
- cartridge/rom,ram.type is now cartridge/mrom,sram,eeprom,flash
- things won't crash horribly if you specify a RAM size larger than
the largest legal size in the manifest
- specialized MROM / SRAM classes replace all the shared read/write
functions that didn't work right anyway
- there's a new ruby/video.glx2 driver, which is not enabled by default
- use this if you are running Linux/BSD, but don't have OpenGL 3.2 yet
- I'm not going to support OpenGL2 on Windows/OS X, because these OSes
don't ship ancient video card drivers
- probably more. What am I, clairvoyant? :P
For endrift's tests, this gets us to 1348/1552 memory and 1016/1260
timing. Overall, this puts us back in second place. Only no$ is ahead
on memory, but bgba is even more ahead on timing.

Update to v094r43 release.
byuu says:
Updated to compile with all of the new hiro changes. My next step is to
write up hiro API documentation, and move the API from alpha (constantly
changing) to beta (rarely changing), in preparation for the first stable
release (backward-compatible changes only.)
Added "--fullscreen" command-line option. I like this over
a configuration file option. Lets you use the emulator in both modes
without having to modify the config file each time.
Also enhanced the command-line game loading. You can now use any of
these methods:
higan /path/to/game-folder.sfc
higan /path/to/game-folder.sfc/
higan /path/to/game-folder.sfc/program.rom
The idea is to support launchers that insist on loading files only.
Technically, the file can be any name (manifest.bml also works); the
only criteria is that the file actually exists and is a file, and not
a directory. This is a requirement to support the first version (a
directory lacking the trailing / identifier), because I don't want my
nall::string class to query the file system to determine if the string
is an actual existing file or directory for its pathname() / dirname()
functions.
Anyway, every game folder I've made so far has program.rom, and that's
very unlikely to change, so this should be fine.
Now, of course, if you drop a regular "game.sfc" file on the emulator,
it won't even try to load it, unless it's in a folder that ends in .fc,
.sfc, etc. In which case, it'll bail out immediately by being unable to
produce a manifest for what is obviously not really a game folder.

Update to v094r31 release.
byuu says: This WIP scores 448/920 tests passed. Gave a shot at ROM prefetch that failed miserably (ranged from 409 to 494 tests passed. Nowhere near where it would be if it were implemented correctly.) Three remaining issues: - ROM prefetch - DMA timing - timers (I suspect it's a 3-clock delay in starting, not a 3-clock into the future affair) Probably only going to be able to get the timers working without heroic amounts of effort. MUL timing is fixed to use idle cycles. STMIA is fixed to set sequential at the right moments. DMA priority support is added, so DMA 0 can interrupt DMA 1 mid-transfer. In other news ... I'm calling gtk_widget_destroy on the GtkWindow now, so hopefully those Window_configure issues go away. I realize I was leaking Display* handles in the X-video driver while I was looking at it, so I fixed those. I added DT_NOPREFIX so the Windows ListView will show & characters correctly now. |

Update to v094r29 release.
byuu says: Note: for Windows users, please go to nall/intrinsics.hpp line 60 and correct the typo from "DISPLAY_WINDOW" to "DISPLAY_WINDOWS" before compiling, otherwise things won't work at all. This will be a really major WIP for the core SNES emulation, so please test as thoroughly as possible. I rewrote the 65816 CPU core's dispatcher from a jump table to a switch table. This was so that I could pass class variables as parameters to opcodes without crazy theatrics. With that, I killed the regs.r[N] stuff, the flag_t operator|=, &=, ^= stuff, and all of the template versions of opcodes. I also removed some stupid pointless flag tests in xcn and pflag that would always be true. I sure hope that AWJ is happy with this; because this change was so that my flag assignments and branch tests won't need to build regs.P into a full 8-bit variable anymore. It does of course incur a slight performance hit when you pass in variables by-value to functions, but it should help with binary size (and thus cache) by reducing a lot of extra functions. (I know I could have used template parameters for some things even with a switch table, but chose not to for the aforementioned reasons.) Overall, it's about a ~1% speedup from the previous build. The CPU core instructions were never a bottleneck, but I did want to fix the P flag building stuff because that really was a dumb mistake v_v' |

Update to v094r27 release.
byuu says: Added AWJ's fixes for alt/cpu (Tetris Attack framelines issue) and alt/dsp (Thread::clock reset) Added fix so that the taskbar entry appears when the application first starts on Windows. Fixed checkbox toggling inside of list views on Windows. Updated nall/image to properly protect variables that should not be written externally. New Object syntax for hiro is in. Fixed the backwards-typing on Windows with the state manager. NOTE: the list view isn't redrawing when you change the description text. It does so on the cheat editor because of the resizeColumns call; but that shouldn't be necessary. I'll try and fix this for the next WIP. |

Update to v094r24 release.
byuu says: Finally!! Compilation works once again on Windows. However, it's pretty buggy. Modality isn't really working right, you can still poke at other windows, but when you select ListView items, they redraw as empty boxes (need to process WM_DRAWITEM before checking modality.) The program crashes when you close it (probably a ruby driver's term() function, that's what it usually is.) The Layout::setEnabled(false) call isn't working right, so you get that annoying chiming sound and cursor movement when mapping keyboard keys to game inputs. The column sizing seems off a bit on first display for the Hotkeys tab. And probably lots more. |

Update to v094r20 release.
byuu says: Main reason for this WIP was because of all the added lines to hiro for selective component disabling. May as well get all the diff-noise apart from code changes. It also merges something I've been talking to Cydrak about ... making nall::string::(integer,decimal) do built-in binary,octal,hex decoding instead of just failing on those. This will have fun little side effects all over the place, like being able to view a topic on my forum via "forum.byuu.org/topic/0b10010110", heh. There are two small changes to higan itself, though. First up, I fixed the resampler ratio when loading non-SNES games. Tested and I can play Game Boy games fine now. Second, I hooked up menu option hiding for reset and controller selection. Right now, this works like higan v094, but I'm thinking I might want to show the "Device -> Controller" even if that's all that's there. It kind of jives nicer with the input settings window to see the labels there, I think. And if we ever do add more stuff, it'll be nice that people already always expect that menu there. Remaining issues: * add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST) * add DIP switch selection window (NSS) * add timing configuration (video/audio sync) |

Update to v094r12 release.
byuu says: Changelog: * added driver selection * added video scale + aspect correction settings * added A/V sync + audio mute settings * added configuration file * fixed compilation bugs under Windows and Linux * fixed window sizing * removed HSU1 * the system menu stays as "System", because "Game Boy Advance" was too long a string for the smallest scale size * some more stuff You guys probably won't be ecstatic about the video sizing options, but it's basically your choice of 1x, 2x or 4x scale with optional aspect correction. 3x was intentionally skipped because it looks horrible on hires SNES games. The window is resized and recentered upon loading games. The window doesn't resize otherwise. I never really liked the way v094 always left you with black screen areas and left you with off-centered window positions. I might go ahead and add the pseudo-fullscreen toggle that will jump into 4x mode (respecting your aspect setting.) Short-term: * add input port changing support * add other input types (mouse-based, etc) * add save states * add cheat codes * add timing configuration (video/audio sync) * add hotkeys (single state) We can probably do a new release once the short-term items are completed. Long-term: * add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST) * add DIP switch selection window (NSS) * add cheat code database * add state manager * add overscan masking Not planned: * video color adjustments (will allow emulated color vs raw color; but no more sliders) * pixel shaders * ananke integration (will need to make a command-line version to get my games in) * fancy audio adjustment controls (resampler, latency, volume) * input focus settings * relocating game library (not hard, just don't feel like it) * localization support (not enough users) * window geometry memory * anything else not in higan v094 |

Update to v094r11 release.
byuu says: I've hooked up the input subsystem, and the input manager to assign hotkeys. So far I only have digital buttons working (keyboard only), and I'm not planning on supporting input groups again (mapping multiple physical buttons to one emulated button), but it's progress. As with the rest of tomoko, the code's a lot more compact. The nice thing about redoing code so many times is that each time you get a little bit better at it. The input configuration is saved to ~/.config/tomoko/settings.bml (just realized that I'm an idiot and need to rename it to input.bml) Also hooked up game saves and cartridge unloading. Active controller changing isn't hooked up yet, and I'll probably do it differently. Oh, and I declared the ruby lines for other platforms. Still need to add Cydrak's Windows compilation fixes. I am nothing if not lazy :P |

Update to v094r09 release.
byuu says: This will easily be the biggest diff in the history of higan. And not in a good way. * target-higan and target-loki have been blown away completely * nall and ruby massively updated * phoenix replaced with hiro (pretty near a total rewrite) * target-higan restarted using hiro (just a window for now) * all emulation cores updated to compile again * installation changed to not require root privileges (installs locally) For the foreseeable future (maybe even permanently?), the new higan UI will only build under Linux/BSD with GTK+ 2.20+. Probably the most likely route for Windows/OS X will be to try and figure out how to build hiro/GTK on those platforms, as awful as that would be. The other alternative would be to produce new UIs for those platforms ... which would actually be a good opportunity to make something much more user friendly. Being that I just started on this a few hours ago, that means that for at least a few weeks, don't expect to be able to actually play any games. Right now, you can pretty much just compile the binary and that's it. It's quite possible that some nall changes didn't produce compilation errors, but will produce runtime errors. So until the UI can actually load games, we won't know if anything is broken. But we should mostly be okay. It was mostly just trim<1> -> trim changes, moving to Hash::SHA256 (much cleaner), and patching some reckless memory copy functions enough to compile. Progress isn't going to be like it was before: I'm now dividing my time much thinner between studying and other hobbies. My aim this time is not to produce a binary for everyone to play games on. Rather, it's to keep the emulator alive. I want to be able to apply critical patches again. And I would also like the base of the emulator to live on, for use in other emulator frontends that utilize higan. |
