Update to v102r02 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- I caved on the `samples[] = {0.0}` thing, but I'm very unhappy about it
- if it's really invalid C++, then GCC needs to stop accepting it
in strict `-std=c++14` mode
- Emulator::Interface::Information::resettable is gone
- Emulator::Interface::reset() is gone
- FC, SFC, MD cores updated to remove soft reset behavior
- split GameBoy::Interface into GameBoyInterface,
GameBoyColorInterface
- split WonderSwan::Interface into WonderSwanInterface,
WonderSwanColorInterface
- PCE: fixed off-by-one scanline error [hex_usr]
- PCE: temporary hack to prevent crashing when VDS is set to < 2
- hiro: Cocoa: removed (u)int(#) constants; converted (u)int(#)
types to (u)int_(#)t types
- icarus: replaced usage of unique with strip instead (so we don't
mess up frameworks on macOS)
- libco: added macOS-specific section marker [Ryphecha]
So ... the major news this time is the removal of the soft reset
behavior. This is a major!! change that results in a 100KiB diff file,
and it's very prone to accidental mistakes!! If anyone is up for
testing, or even better -- looking over the code changes between v102r01
and v102r02 and looking for any issues, please do so. Ideally we'll want
to test every NES mapper type and every SNES coprocessor type by loading
said games and power cycling to make sure the games are all cleanly
resetting. It's too big of a change for me to cover there not being any
issues on my own, but this is truly critical code, so yeah ... please
help if you can.
We technically lose a bit of hardware documentation here. The soft reset
events do all kinds of interesting things in all kinds of different
chips -- or at least they do on the SNES. This is obviously not ideal.
But in the process of removing these portions of code, I found a few
mistakes I had made previously. It simplifies resetting the system state
a lot when not trying to have all the power() functions call the reset()
functions to share partial functionality.
In the future, the goal will be to come up with a way to add back in the
soft reset behavior via keyboard binding as with the Master System core.
What's going to have to happen is that the key binding will have to send
a "reset pulse" to every emulated chip, and those chips are going to
have to act independently to power() instead of reusing functionality.
We'll get there eventually, but there's many things of vastly greater
importance to work on right now, so it'll be a while. The information
isn't lost ... we'll just have to pull it out of v102 when we are ready.
Note that I left the SNES reset vector simulation code in, even though
it's not possible to trigger, for the time being.
Also ... the Super Game Boy core is still disconnected. To be honest, it
totally slipped my mind when I released v102 that it wasn't connected
again yet. This one's going to be pretty tricky to be honest. I'm
thinking about making a third GameBoy::Interface class just for SGB, and
coming up with some way of bypassing platform-> calls when in this
mode.

Update to v100 release.
byuu says:
higan has finally reached v100!
I feel it's important to stress right away that this is not "version
1.00", nor is it a major milestone release. Rather than arbitrary version
numbers, all of my software simply bumps version numbers by one for each
official release. As such, higan v100 is simply higan's 100th release.
That said, the primary focus of this release has been code
clean-ups. These are always somewhat dangerous in that regressions are
possible. We've tested through sixteen WIP revisions, one of which was
open to the public, to try and minimize any regressions. But all the same,
please report any regressions if you discover any.
Changelog (since v099):
FC: render during pixels 1-256 instead of 0-255 [hex_usr]
FC: rewrote controller emulation code
SFC: 8% speedup over the previous release thanks to PPU optimizations
SFC: fixed nasty DB address wrapping regression from v099
SFC: USART developer controller removed; superseded by 21fx
SFC: Super Multitap option removed from controller port 1; ports
renamed 2-5
SFC: hidden option to experiment with 128KB VRAM (strictly for novelty)
higan: audio volume no longer divided by number of audio streams
higan: updated controller polling code to fix possible future mapping
issues
higan: replaced nall/stream with nall/vfs for file-loading subsystem
tomoko: can now load multi-slotted games via command-line
tomoko: synchronize video removed from UI; still available in the
settings file
tomoko, icarus: can navigate to root drive selection on Windows
all: major code cleanups and refactoring (~1MB diff against v099)
Note 1: the audio volume change means that SGB and MSU1 games won't
lose half the volume on the SNES sounds anymore. However, if one goes
overboard and drives the sound all the way to max volume with the MSU1,
clamping may occur. The obvious solution is not to drive volume that high
(it will vastly overpower the SNES audio, which usually never exceeds
25% volume.) Another option is to lower the volume in the audio settings
panel to 50%. In general, neither is likely to ever be necessary.
Note 2: the synchronize video option was hidden from the UI because it
is no longer useful. With the advent of compositors, the loss of the
complicated timing settings panel, support for the WonderSwan and its
75hz display, the need to emulate variable refresh rate behaviors in the
Game Boy, the unfortunate latency spike and audio distortion caused by
long Vsync pauses, and the arrival of adaptive sync technology ... it
no longer makes sense to present this option. However, as stated, you
can edit settings.bml to enable this option anyway if you insist and
understand the aforementioned risks.
Changelog (since v099r16 open beta):
- fixed MSU1 audio sign extension
- fixed compilation with SGB support disabled
- icarus can now navigate to root directory
- fixed compilation issues with OS X port
- (hopefully) fixed label height issue with hiro that affected icarus
import dialog
- (mostly) fixed BS Memory, Sufami Turbo slot loading
Errata:
- forgot to remove the " - Slot A", " - Slot B" suffixes for Sufami
Turbo slot loading
- this means you have to navigate up one folder and then into Sufami
Turbo/ to load games for this system
- moving WonderSwan orientation controls to the device slot is causing
some nastiness
- can now select orientation from the main menu, but it doesn't rotate
the display

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 v099r14 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- (u)int(max,ptr) abbreviations removed; use _t suffix now [didn't feel
like they were contributing enough to be worth it]
- cleaned up nall::integer,natural,real functionality
- toInteger, toNatural, toReal for parsing strings to numbers
- fromInteger, fromNatural, fromReal for creating strings from numbers
- (string,Markup::Node,SQL-based-classes)::(integer,natural,real)
left unchanged
- template<typename T> numeral(T value, long padding, char padchar)
-> string for print() formatting
- deduces integer,natural,real based on T ... cast the value if you
want to override
- there still exists binary,octal,hex,pointer for explicit print()
formatting
- lstring -> string_vector [but using lstring = string_vector; is
declared]
- would be nice to remove the using lstring eventually ... but that'd
probably require 10,000 lines of changes >_>
- format -> string_format [no using here; format was too ambiguous]
- using integer = Integer<sizeof(int)*8>; and using natural =
Natural<sizeof(uint)*8>; declared
- for consistency with boolean. These three are meant for creating
zero-initialized values implicitly (various uses)
- R65816::io() -> idle() and SPC700::io() -> idle() [more clear; frees
up struct IO {} io; naming]
- SFC CPU, PPU, SMP use struct IO {} io; over struct (Status,Registers) {}
(status,registers); now
- still some CPU::Status status values ... they didn't really fit into
IO functionality ... will have to think about this more
- SFC CPU, PPU, SMP now use step() exclusively instead of addClocks()
calling into step()
- SFC CPU joypad1_bits, joypad2_bits were unused; killed them
- SFC PPU CGRAM moved into PPU::Screen; since nothing else uses it
- SFC PPU OAM moved into PPU::Object; since nothing else uses it
- the raw uint8[544] array is gone. OAM::read() constructs values from
the OAM::Object[512] table now
- this avoids having to determine how we want to sub-divide the two
OAM memory sections
- this also eliminates the OAM::synchronize() functionality
- probably more I'm forgetting
The FPS fluctuations are driving me insane. This WIP went from 128fps to
137fps. Settled on 133.5fps for the final build. But nothing I changed
should have affected performance at all. This level of fluctuation makes
it damn near impossible to know whether I'm speeding things up or slowing
things down with changes.

Update to v098r11 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- fixed nall/path.hpp compilation issue
- fixed ruby/audio/xaudio header declaration compilation issue (again)
- cleaned up xaudio2.hpp file to match my coding syntax (12.5% of the
file was whitespace overkill)
- added null terminator entry to nall/windows/utf8.hpp argc[] array
- nall/windows/guid.hpp uses the Windows API for generating the GUID
- this should stop all the bug reports where two nall users were
generating GUIDs at the exact same second
- fixed hiro/cocoa compilation issue with uint# types
- fixed major higan/sfc Super Game Boy audio latency issue
- fixed higan/sfc CPU core bug with pei, [dp], [dp]+y instructions
- major cleanups to higan/processor/r65816 core
- merged emulation/native-mode opcodes
- use camel-case naming on memory.hpp functions
- simplify address masking code for memory.hpp functions
- simplify a few opcodes themselves (avoid redundant copies, etc)
- rename regs.* to r.* to match modern convention of other CPU cores
- removed device.order<> concept from Emulator::Interface
- cores will now do the translation to make the job of the UI easier
- fixed plurality naming of arrays in Emulator::Interface
- example: emulator.ports[p].devices[d].inputs[i]
- example: vector<Medium> media
- probably more surprises
Major show-stoppers to the next official release:
- we need to work on GB core improvements: LY=153/0 case, multiple STAT
IRQs case, GBC audio output regs, etc.
- we need to re-add software cursors for light guns (Super Scope,
Justifier)
- after the above, we need to fix the turbo button for the Super Scope
I really have no idea how I want to implement the light guns. Ideally,
we'd want it in higan/video, so we can support the NES Zapper with the
same code. But this isn't going to be easy, because only the SNES knows
when its output is interlaced, and its resolutions can vary as
{256,512}x{224,240,448,480} which requires pixel doubling that was
hard-coded to the SNES-specific behavior, but isn't appropriate to be
exposed in higan/video.

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 v097 release.
byuu says: This release features improvements to all emulation cores, but most substantially for the Game Boy core. All of blargg's test ROMs that pass in gambatte now either pass in higan, or are off by 1-2 clocks (the actual behaviors are fully emulated.) I consider the Game Boy core to now be fairly accurate, but there's still more improvements to be had. Also, what's sure to be a major feature for some: higan now has full support for loading and playing ordinary ROM files, whether they have copier headers, weird extensions, or are inside compressed archives. You can load these games from the command-line, from the main Library menu (via Load ROM Image), or via drag-and-drop on the main higan window. Of course, fans of game folders and the library need not worry: that's still there as well. Also new, you can drop the (uncompressed) Game Boy Advance BIOS onto the higan main window to install it into the correct location with the correct file name. Lastly, this release technically restores Mac OS X support. However, it's still not very stable, so I have decided against releasing binaries at this time. I'd rather not rush this and leave a bad first impression for OS X users. Changelog (since v096): - higan: project source code hierarchy restructured; icarus directly integrated - higan: added software emulation of color-bleed, LCD-refresh, scanlines, interlacing - icarus: you can now load and import ROM files/archives from the main higan menu - NES: fixed manifest parsing for board mirroring and VRC pinouts - SNES: fixed manifest for Star Ocean - SNES: fixed manifest for Rockman X2,X3 - GB: enabling LCD restarts frame - GB: emulated extra OAM STAT IRQ quirk required for GBVideoPlayer (Shonumi) - GB: VBK, BGPI, OBPI are readable - GB: OAM DMA happens inside PPU core instead of CPU core - GB: fixed APU length and sweep operations - GB: emulated wave RAM quirks when accessing while channel is enabled - GB: improved timings of several CPU opcodes (gekkio) - GB: improved timings of OAM DMA refresh (gekkio) - GB: CPU uses open collector logic; return 0xFF for unmapped memory (gekkio) - GBA: fixed sequencer enable flags; fixes audio in Zelda - Minish Cap (Jonas Quinn) - GBA: fixed disassembler masking error (Lioncash) - hiro: Cocoa support added; higan can now be compiled on Mac OS X 10.7+ - nall: improved program path detection on Windows - higan/Windows: moved configuration data from %appdata% to %localappdata% - higan/Linux,BSD: moved configuration data from ~/.config/higan to ~/.local/higan |

Update to v096r04 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - fixed S-DD1 RAM writes (Star Ocean audio fixed) - applied all of the DMG test ROM fixes discussed earlier; passes many more test ROMs now - at least until the GBVideoPlayer is working: for debugging purposes, CPU/PPU single-step now instead of sync just-in-time (~30% slower) - fixed OS X crash on NSTextView (hopefully, would be very odd if not) Unfortunately passing these test ROMs caused my favorite GB/GBC game to break all of its graphics =( Shin Megami Tensei - Devichil - Kuro no Sho (Japan) is all garbled now. I'm really quite bummed by this ... but I guess I'll go through and revert r04's fixes one at a time until I find what's causing it. On the plus side, Astro Rabby is playable now. Still acts weird when pressing B/A on the first screen, but the start button will start the game. EDIT: got it. Shin Megami Tensei - Devichil requires FF4F (VBK) to be readable. Before, it was always returning 0x00. With my return 0xFF patch, that broke. But it should be returning the VBK value, which also fixes it. Also need to handle FF68/FF6A reads. Was really hoping that'd help GBVideoPlayer too, but nope. It doesn't read any of those three registers. |

Update to v096r03 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - fixed icarus to save settings properly - fixed higan's full screen toggle on OS X - increased "Add Codes" button width to avoid text clipping - implemented cocoa/canvas.cpp - added 1s delay after mapping inputs before re-enabling the window (wasn't actually necessary, but already added it) - fixed setEnabled(false) on Cocoa's ListView and TextEdit widgets - updated nall::programpath() to use GetModuleFileName on Windows - GB: system uses open collector logic, so unmapped reads return 0xFF, not 0x00 (passes blargg's cpu_instrs again) [gekkio] |

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 v096r02 (OS X Preview for Developers) release.
byuu says:
Warning: this is not for the faint of heart. This is a very early,
unpolished, buggy release. But help testing/fixing bugs would be greatly
appreciated for anyone willing.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.7+
- Xcode 7.2+
Installation Commands:
cd higan
gmake -j 4
gmake install
cd ../icarus
gmake -j 4
gmake install
(gmake install is absolutely required, sorry. You'll be missing key
files in key places if you don't run it, and nothing will work.)
(gmake uninstall also exists, or you can just delete the .app bundles
from your Applications folder, and the Dev folder on your desktop.)
If you want to use the GBA emulation, then you need to drop the GBA BIOS
into ~/Emulation/System/Game\ Boy\ Advance.sys\bios.rom
Usage:
You'll now find higan.app and icarus.app in your Applications folders.
First, run icarus.app, navigate to where you keep your game ROMs. Now
click the settings button at the bottom right, and check "Create
Manifests", and click OK. (You'll need to do this every time you run
icarus because there's some sort of bug on OSX saving the settings.) Now
click "Import", and let it bring in your games into ~/Emulation.
Note: "Create Manifests" is required. I don't yet have a pipe
implementation on OS X for higan to invoke icarus yet. If you don't
check this box, it won't create manifest.bml files, and your games won't
run at all.
Now you can run higan.app. The first thing you'll want to do is go to
higan->Preferences... and assign inputs for your gamepads. At the very
least, do it for the default controller for all the systems you want to
emulate.
Now this is very important ... close the application at this point so
that it writes your config file to disk. There's a serious crashing bug,
and if you trigger it, you'll lose your input bindings.
Now the really annoying part ... go to Library->{System} and pick the
game you want to play. Right now, there's a ~50% chance the application
will bomb. It seems the hiro::pListView object is getting destroyed, yet
somehow the internal Cocoa callbacks are being triggered anyway. I don't
know how this is possible, and my attempts to debug with lldb have been
a failure :(
If you're unlucky, the application will crash. Restart and try again. If
it crashes every single time, then you can try launching your game from
the command-line instead. Example:
open /Applications/higan.app \
--args ~/Emulation/Super\ Famicom/Zelda3.sfc/
Help wanted:
I could really, really, really use some help with that crashing on game
loading. There's a lot of rough edges, but they're all cosmetic. This
one thing is pretty much the only major show-stopping issue at the
moment, preventing a wider general audience pre-compiled binary preview.

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. |

Update to v095r06 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - fixed I/O register reads; perfect score on endrift's I/O tests now - fixed mouse capture clipping on Windows [Cydrak] - several hours of code maintenance work done on the SFC core All higan/sfc files should now use the auto fn() -> ret; syntax. Haven't converted all unsigned->uint yet. Also, probably won't do sfc/alt as that's mostly just speed hack stuff. Errata: - forgot auto& instead of just auto on SuperFamicom::Video::draw_cursor, which makes Super Scope / Justifier crash. Will be fixed in the next WIP. |

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. |
