Update to v106r51 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- added `Emulator::Interface::connected(uint port) -> uint device;`
- higan, bsnes: updated emulators to use the new
Emulator::Interface::connected() function
- hiro: fixed Object::cast<T> finally
So, Emulator::Interface::connected() solves two annoying problems at the
same time.
First, on first run of the emulator when the settings file is blank, it
will retrieve the default "sane" device ID, which is usually a gamepad
for a controller port, or nothing for an expansion/extension port.
Second, if you were to select a multi-port device, like the NES Four
Score, the core will set the other port to the Four Score device as
well, and the GUIs query connected() right after any call to connect(),
so it gets updated without needing a system for the emulation core to
send messages alerting the GUI of changes.

Changelog:
- emulator/video,audio: various cleanups
- emulator/audio: removed reverb effect (it breaks very badly on
high-frequency systems)
- emulator/audio: the Nyquist anti-aliasing lowpass filter is now
generated automatically instead of set per-core
- at 44.1KHz output, it's set to 22KHz; at 48KHz, it's set to
22KHz; at 96KHz, it's set to 25KHz
- this filter now takes the bsnes emulation speed setting into
account
- all system/video.cpp files removed; inlined in System::power() and
Interface::set() instead
- sfc/cpu: pre-compute `HTIME` as `HTIME+1<<2` for faster comparisons of
HIRQs
- sfc/cpu: re-add check to block IRQs on the last dot of each frame
(minor speed hit)
- hiro/gtk3: fixed headers for Linux compilation finally
- hiro/gtk,qt: fixed settings.cpp logic so initial values are used
when no settings.bml file exists
- hiro/gtk: started a minor experiment to specify theming information
in settings.bml files
- nall/dsp: allow the precision type (double) to be overridden (to
float)
- nall: add some helpers for generating pre-compiled headers
- it was a failure to try using them for higan, however ...
- nall: add some helpers for reading fallback values from empty
`Markup::Node[search]` statements
Todo:
- CRITICAL: a lot of my IRQ/NMI/HDMA timing tests are failing with the
fast PPU ... need to figure out why
- space between Emulator::video functions and Emulator::audio
functions in gb/system/system.cpp
- remove Audio/Reverb/Enable from settings.bml in target-bsnes

Update to v106r48 release.
byuu says:
The problems with the Windows and Qt4 ports have all been resolved,
although there's a fairly gross hack on a few Qt widgets to not destruct
once Application::quit() is called to avoid a double free crash (I'm
unsure where Qt is destructing the widgets internally.) The Cocoa port
compiles again at least, though it's bound to have endless problems. I
improved the Label painting in the GTK ports, which fixes the background
color on labels inside TabFrame widgets.
I've optimized the Makefile system even further.
I added a "redo state" command to bsnes, which is created whenever you
load the undo state. There are also hotkeys for both now, although I
don't think they're really something you want to map hotkeys to.
I moved the nall::Locale object inside hiro::Application, so that it can
be used to translate the BrowserDialog and MessageDialog window strings.
I improved the Super Game Boy emulation of `MLT_REQ`, fixing Pokemon
Yellow's custom border and probably more stuff.
Lots of other small fixes and improvements. Things are finally stable
once again after the harrowing layout redesign catastrophe.
Errata:
- ICD::joypID should be set to 3 on reset(). joypWrite() may as well
take uint1 instead of bool.
- hiro/Qt: remove pWindow::setMaximumSize() comment; found a
workaround for it
- nall/GNUmakefile: don't set object.path if it's already set (allow
overrides before including the file)

Update to v106r47 release.

This is probably the largest code-change diff I've done in years.
I spent four days working 10-16 hours a day reworking layouts in hiro
completely.
The result is we now have TableLayout, which will allow for better
horizontal+vertical combined alignment.
Windows, GTK2, and now GTK3 are fully supported.
Windows is getting the initial window geometry wrong by a bit.
GTK2 and GTK3 work perfectly. I basically abandoned trying to detect
resize signals, and instead keep a list of all hiro windows that are
allocated, and every time the main loop runs, it will query all of them
to see if they've been resized. I'm disgusted that I have to do this,
but after fighting with GTK for years, I'm about sick of it. GTK was
doing this crazy thing where it would trigger another size-allocate
inside of a previous size-allocate, and so my layouts would be halfway
through resizing all the widgets, and then the size-allocate would kick
off another one. That would end up leaving the rest of the first layout
loop with bad widget sizes. And if I detected a second re-entry and
blocked it, then the entire window would end up with the older geometry.
I started trying to build a message queue system to allow the second
layout resize to occur after the first one completed, but this was just
too much madness, so I went with the simpler solution.
Qt4 has some geometry problems, and doesn't show tab frame layouts
properly yet.
Qt5 causes an ICE error and tanks my entire Xorg display server, so ...
something is seriously wrong there, and it's not hiro's fault. Creating
a dummy Qt5 application without even using hiro, just int main() {
TestObject object; } with object performing a dynamic\_cast to a derived
type segfaults. Memory is getting corrupted where GCC allocates the
vtables for classes, just by linking in Qt. Could be somehow related to
the -fPIC requirement that only Qt5 has ... could just be that FreeBSD
10.1 has a buggy implementation of Qt5. I don't know. It's beyond my
ability to debug, so this one's going to stay broken.
The Cocoa port is busted. I'll fix it up to compile again, but that's
about all I'm going to do.
Many optimizations mean bsnes and higan open faster. GTK2 and GTK3 both
resize windows very quickly now.
higan crashes when you load a game, so that's not good. bsnes works
though.
bsnes also has the start of a localization engine now. Still a long way
to go.
The makefiles received a rather substantial restructuring. Including the
ruby and hiro makefiles will add the necessary compilation rules for
you, which also means that moc will run for the qt4 and qt5 targets, and
windres will run for the Windows targets.

Changelog:
- sfc/ppu-fast: added hires mode 7 option (doubles the sampling rate
of mode 7 pixels to reduce aliasing)
- sfc/ppu-fast: fixed mode 7 horizontal screen flip [hex_usr]
- bsnes: added capture screenshot function and path selection
- for now, it saves as BMP. I need a deflate implementation that
won't add an external dependency for PNG
- the output resolution is from the emulator: (256 or 512)x(240 or
480 minus overscan cropping if enabled)
- it captures the NEXT output frame, not the current one ... but
it may be wise to change this behavior
- it'd be a problem if the core were to exit and an image was
captured halfway through frame rendering
- bsnes: recovery state renamed to undo state
- bsnes: added manifest viewer tool
- bsnes: mention if game has been verified or not on the status bar
message at load time
- bsnes, nall: fixed a few missing function return values
[SuperMikeMan]
- bsnes: guard more strongly against failure to load games to avoid
crashes
- hiro, ruby: various fixes for macOS [Sintendo]

Update to v106r44 public beta release:
byuu says (in the public announcement): I'm releasing a beta version of bsnes, for the purpose of gathering feedback and ensuring that the first official release of bsnes is as solid as possible. With the exception of dynamic rate control for automatic audio/video sync, and no pack-in video shaders or cheat code database, it is mostly feature complete. However, please do not form a lasting opinion of bsnes based on this beta. |

unverified games
- working around a bug in GTK, I have to use the uglier
MessageWindow instead of MessageDialog
- bsnes: added (non-functional) link to <https://doc.byuu.org/bsnes/>
to the help menu
- bsnes: added GUI setting to toggle memory auto-save feature
- bsnes: added GUI setting to toggle capturing a backup save state

64-width
- but this is just a waste of cache locality and worst-case
performance; it'll never happen
Errata:
- hiro/Windows: fallthrough on Canvas `WM_ERASEBKGND` to prevent
startup flicker

and/or smaller font size instead of italics
I didn't test the soft-patching at all, as I don't have any patches on
my dev box. If anyone wants to test, that'd be great. The Tengai Makyou
Zero fan translation would be a great test case.

Update to v106r37 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- bsnes: cheat code “enabled” option changed to “enable”
- bsnes: connected “Cancel” action on add/edit cheat code window
- hiro: improved BrowserDialog::selectFolder() behavior
- can choose “Select” inside of a target folder when no items are
selected
- bsnes: implemented state manager
- bsnes: save a recovery state before loading a state, quitting, or
changing drivers
- bsnes: input settings, hotkey settings, cheat editor, state manager
entries are now batchable
- this allows bulk clearing/deleting of entries
- bsnes: cheat code list now auto-sorts alphabetically instead of
using up/down move arrows
I know most people will probably prefer to order cheat codes the way
they want, but the issue is that the state manager can't really work
this way. Each state is a file on disk. So yes, we could store a
states-manifest.bml to track the order of the states, or try to insert
numbers into the filenames and do bulk filesystem rename operations on
sorting, but then we would run into oddities when users delete state
files manually. And really, manual sorting is just clumsy. If you really
want a specific ordering, you can prefix cheats/states with numeric
indices instead.

- sfc/ppu-fast: converted unmanaged arrays to use nall/array (no speed
penalty)
- bsnes: rewrote the cheat code editor to a new design
- nall: string class can stringify pointer types directly now, so
pointer() was removed
- nall: added array_view and pointer types (still unsure if/how I'll
use pointer)

Update to v106r33 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- nall/GNUmakefile: added `openmp=(true,false)` option; can be toggled
when building higan/bsnes
- defaults to disabled on macOS, because Xcode doesn't stupidly
doesn't ship with support for it
- higan/GNUmakefile: forgot to switch target,profile back from
bsnes,fast to higan,accurate
- this is just gonna happen from time to time, sorry
- sfc/dsp: when using the fast profile, the DSP syncs per sample
instead of per clock
- should only negatively impact Koushien 2, but is a fairly
significant speedup otherwise
- sfc/ppc,ppu-fast: optimized the code a bit (ppu 130fps to 133fps)
- sfc/ppu-fast: basic vertical mosaic support (not accurate, but
should look okay hopefully)
- sfc/ppu-fast: added missing mode7 hflip support
- sfc/ppu-fast: added support to render at 256-width and/or 240-height
- gives a decent speed boost, and also allows all of the older
quark shaders to work nicely again
- it does violate the contract of Emulator::Interface, but oh
well, it works fine in the bsnes GUI
- sfc/ppu-fast: use cached CGRAM values for mode7 and sprites
- sfc/ppu-fast: use global range/time over flags in object rendering
- may not actually work as we intended since it's a race condition
even if it's only ORing the flags
- really don't want to have to make those variables atomic if I
don't have to
- sfc/ppu-fast: should fully support interlace and overscan modes now
- hiro/cocoa: updated macOS Gatekeeper disable support to work on
10.13+
- ruby: forgot to fix macOS input driver, sorry
- nall/GNUmakefile: if uname is present, then just default to rm
instead of del (fixes Msys)
Note: blur emulation option will break pretty badly in 256x240 output
mode. I'll fix it later.

byuu says:
Changelog:
- nall: merged Path::config() and Path::local() to Path::userData()
- ~/.local/share or %appdata or ~/Library/ApplicationSupport
- higan, bsnes: render main window icon onto viewport instead of
canvas
- should hopefully fix a brief flickering glitch that appears on
Windows
- icarus: improved Super Famicom heuristics for Starfox / Starwing RAM
- ruby/Direct3D: handle viewport size changes in lock() instead of
output()
- fixes icon disappearing when resizing main window
- hiro/Windows: remove WS_DISABLED from StatusBar to fix window
resize grip
- this is experimental: I initially used WS_DISABLED to work
around a focus bug
- yet trying things now, said bug seems(?) to have gone away at
some point ...
- bsnes: added advanced settings panel with real-time driver change
support
I'd like feedback on the real-time driver change, for possible
consideration into adding this to higan as well.
Some drivers just crash, it's a fact of life. The ASIO driver in
particular likes to crash inside the driver itself, without any error
messages ever returned to try and catch.
When you try to change a driver with a game loaded, it gives you a scary
warning, asking if you want to proceed.
When you change a driver, it sets a crash flag, and if the driver
crashes while initializing, then restarting bsnes will disable the
errant driver. If it fails in a recoverable way, then it sets the driver
to “None” and warns you that the driver cannot be used.
What I'm thinking of further adding is to call emulator→save() to
write out the save RAM contents beforehand (although the periodic
auto-saving RAM will handle this anyway when it's enabled), and possibly
it might be wise to capture an emulator save state, although those can't
be taken without advancing the emulator to the next frame, so that might
not be a good idea.
I'm also thinking we should show some kind of message somewhere when a
driver is set to “None”. The status bar can be hidden, so perhaps on the
title bar? Or maybe just a warning on startup that a driver is set to
“None”.

Changelog:
- higan: target-tomoko has been renamed to target-higan
- Super Famicom: event has been renamed to
processor(architecture=uPD78214)
- Super Famicom: SNES-EVENT supported once more; under board IDs
EVENT-CC92 and EVENT-PF94
- Super Famicom: SNES-EVENT preliminarily set up to use DIP switch
settings ala the Nintendo Super System (incomplete)
- Super Famicom: MCC PSRAM moved inside the MCU, as it is remappable
- Super Famicom: MCC emulation rewritten from scratch; it is now
vastly more accurate than before
- Super Famicom: added BSC-1A5B9P-01 board definition to database;
corrected BS-MCC-RAM board definition
- Super Famicom: moved SHVC-LN3B-01 RAM outside of
processor(identifier=SDD1)
- higan: when selecting a default game to load for a new system entry,
it will change the system option to match the media type
- higan: the load text box on the system entry window is now editable;
can be used to erase entries
- icarus: fixed bug in Famicom importing
- icarus: importing unappended SNES coprocessor firmware will now
rename the firmware properly
- hiro/GTK,Qt: WM_CLASS is now set correctly in `argv[0]`, so
applications should show “higan”, “icarus” instead of “hiro” now
Note: if you wish to run the BS-X town cartridge, the database currently
lists the download RAM as type “PSRAM”. This needs to be changed to
“RAM” in order to load properly. Otherwise, the emulator will bomb
out on the load window, because BSC-1A5B9P-01 expects PSRAM to always be
present, but it won't find it with the wrong memory type. I'll correct
this in the database in a later release. For now, you can copy the game
portion of the manifest to a new manifest.bml file and drop it into the
gamepak folder until I fix the database.

Update to v106r15 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- main menu renamed again (Library→System→Systems)
- the 'Hidden' checkbox on system properties was moved to the main
list as a 'Show' checkbox instead
- the move up/move down buttons on the systems panel now function
- added icons to indicate 'system' versus 'game boot' entries in the
systems list
I still didn't add ComboEdit to the Windows hiro port, so once again
this will be Linux/BSD only.
I polished the browse button for selecting a boot game. It'll use a list
of all bootable media file extensions, so that if you double-click any
supported game, it'll select it instead of going inside the folder. If
you pick a non-bootable folder, like say a Sufami Turbo cartridge, it
will go inside the folder instead, because it will treat it like any
other regular folder.
Having a checkbox next to text in the same cell doesn't work so well on
lists that have an onActivate action. Say you tried to double-click the
“Name” field on the Systems tab, it would toggle the checkbox twice
before popping open the system properties editor window. So because of
this, I made the show checkbox its own column. And for consistency, I
did the same for the slot# on the cheat editor window.
As a bit of really pedantic polish: if there are no systems enabled,
then the main menu won't show the separator before the “Load ROM Image”
option anymore.
I think something is wrong with the Markup::Node::insert syntax, but I
realized I have Markup::Node::swap, and just used that for the up/down
arrows on the systems panel for now. But we should probably fix insert()
at some point ... sigh.

Update to v106r15 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - Super Game Boy: fixed loading of boot ROM - hiro: added ComboEdit::setEditable(bool = true); - tomoko: added new systems settings panel Note!!: this release will not compile on Windows or macOS due to the missing ComboEdit control! I'll try to merge in hex's implementation for the Windows release here soon. macOS users will probably be out of luck for a while, sorry. The new systems panel is an idea I've been meaning to implement for quite a while, but finally got around to starting on it. It's still fairly unpolished, but the basic idea is there for Linux/BSD users to try out now. So imagine the Super Game Boy, BS-X Satellaview, Sufami Turbo, and the associated BS Memory Pack-slotted SNES cartridges. To play any of those, you needed to choose Nintendo→Super Famicom, and then select the relevant cartridge, and then select any slotted cartridges to play with it. This was acceptable-ish, if not ideal. But now imagine in the future if we wanted to support the Famicom Disk System, which is technically a cartridge that plugs into the Famicom deck. Or the PC Engine CD, which has one of three special HuCards that must be inserted (ignoring the Turbo Duo where it's built-in—I'm going to be emulating the Super CD as if you're using a stock PCE CD.) Or the Mega CD, where there are probably a half dozen or more BIOS + hardware revisions that are region-specific, which connect to an expansion port that is identical to the cartridge port save for the Mega Drive seeing an I/O register bit toggled here. In all of these cases, it's going to be a real pain to have to choose the 'BIOS' every time you want to play a game for them. I can't distribute these BIOSes with higan due to copyright restrictions, and trying to ship dummy folders for every possible combination would become quite odious, and difficult for people to use (compare to setting up the Game Boy Advance system BIOS.) And so I've created the new systems settings panel. Here, you can manage a list of systems that show up under the higan library menu (now renamed to “System”), where each entry contains name, boot, and hidden parameters. The name parameter is what shows up in the system menu. You can call any system higan emulates whatever you like here. Don't like “Super Famicom”? Change it to “SNES”, then. The boot parameter is a combo edit with a dropdown for all of the systems higan emulates. If you choose one of these, then the higan system menu option will work exactly like in previous releases, and prompt you for a cartridge. But if you choose the browse button next to the combo edit control, you'll get to pick any gamepak from the higan library of your choosing. So you could choose the SGB2 BIOS, and name the menu option “Super Game Boy 2”, and when you choose the menu option, it will load the SFC core, load the SGB2 BIOS, and only prompt you for the Game Boy game you wish to play on it. The same deal goes for the FDS, PCE-CD, Mega CD, Mega Drive Sonic & Knuckles lock-on cartridge, BS-X Satellaview, SD Gundam G-Next, etc. Whatever you want to be in the menu, you can put in there by pointing higan at the appropriate 'BIOS' gamepak to load. Astute readers have probably already noticed, but you can technically use this on non-slotted games as well, thus creating instant boot options for your absolute favorite games, if you so wanted. Point it at Zelda 3, and you can boot it instantly from the main menu, without any need for file selection. The hidden option is a way to hide the system entries from the system menu. Primarily this would be a fast way for users to disable emulation cores they never use in higan, without having to remove the options. The major concession with this change is the collapsing of the per-manufacturer submenus. What this means is you will now have all twelve higan emulated systems in the main menu by default. This makes the list rather long, but ... oh well. I may try to offer some form of grouping in the future, but the grouping defeats the “list order = display order” design, and I'm not willing to auto-sort the list. I want people to be able to control the ordering of the system menu, and have added (as yet non-functional) sorting arrows for that purpose. I also don't have a combined tree+table view widget in higan to try to and group things. But ... we'll see how things go in the future. Another idea is to add a specialty load option that opens up the user's Emulation library path, and lets you pick a gamepak for any system, which would boot the same way as when you drop a gamepak onto the higan executable or main window. So say you almost never play Wonderswan games, this would be a way to play them without them cluttering your system menu list. The “import ROM files” option has been removed. All it does is launch icarus directly. I would rather users become familiar with using icarus. The “load ROM file” option remains. Anyway, this is all still a work in progress, so please give it time and don't overload me with too many suggested changes right now, thanks :3 |

Update to v106r10 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- manifest: memory/battery now resides under type at
memory/type/battery
- genius: volatile option changed to battery; auto-disables when not
RAM or RTC type
- higan: added new Emulator::Game class to parse manifests for all
emulated systems consistently
- Super Famicom: board manifest appended to manifest viewer now
- Super Famicom: cartridge class updated to use Emulator::Game objects
- hiro: improve suppression of userland callbacks once
Application::quit() is called
- this fixes a crash in genius when closing the window with a tree
view item selected
My intention is to remove Emulator::Interface::sha256(), as it's not
really useful. They'll be removed from save states as well. I never
bothered validating the SHA256 within them, because that'd be really
annoying for ROM hackers.
I also intend to rename Emulator::Interface::title() to label() instead.
Most everything is still broken. The SNES still needs all the board
definitions updated, all the other cores need to move to using
Emulator::Game.

Update to v106r09 release.
byuu says: Changelog: - higan, icarus, genius: new manifest syntax (work in progress) Pretty much only LoROM and HiROM SNES games will load right now, and RAM will only work right if the save.ram file already exists to pull its file size from (a temporary cheap hack was used.) Basically, I'm just getting this out there for evaluation. One minor errata is that I switched icarus to using “memory/battery” to indicate battery-backed RAM, whereas genius still uses “memory/volatile” to indicate non-battery-backed RAM. I intend to make it “memory/battery” in genius, and have the field auto-enable when RAM or RTC is selected for type (obviously allowing it to be unchecked for volatile memory.) I need to update all 64 production boards, and 25 of 29 generic boards, to use the new slot syntax; and I also need to update every single core in higan to use the new manifest game syntax. I want to build out a generic manifest game parser that all emulation cores will use. Once I finish this, I'll also need to write a database converter to update all of my licensed game dumps to the new database syntax. I also need to write up something for doc.byuu.org explaining the new manifest game syntax. The manifest board syntax will still be “internal” and subject to revisions, but once v107 is out, the gamepak manifest format will be set in stone sans extensions. |

Update to v106r2 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- Super Famicom: added support for loading manifests without embedded
mapping information¹
- genius: initial commit
- various Makefile cleanups
¹: so the idea here is to try and aim for a stable manifest format,
and to allow direct transposition of icarus/genius database entries into
manifest files. The exact mechanics of how this is going to work is
currently in flux, but we'll get there.
For right now, `Super Famicom.sys` gains `boards.bml`, which is the raw
database from my board-editor tool, and higan itself tries to load
`boards.bml`, match an entry to game/board from the game's `manifest.bml`
file, and then transform it into the format currently used by higan. It
does this only when the game's `manifest.bml` file lacks a board node.
When such a board node exists, it works as previous versions of higan
did.
The only incompatible change right now is information/title is now
located at game/label. I may transition window title display to just use
the filenames instead.
Longer term, some thought is going to need to go into the format of the
`boards.bml` database itself, and at which point in the process I should
be transforming things.
Give it time, we'll refine this into something nicer.

Update to v104r15 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- processor/huc6280,mos6502,wdc65816: replaced abbreviated opcode
names with descriptive names
- nall: replaced `PLATFORM_MACOSX` define with `PLATFORM_MACOS`
- icarus: added `Icarus::missing() -> string_vector` to list missing
appended firmware files by name
- ruby, hiro: fix macosx→macos references
The processor instruction renaming was really about consistency with the
other processor cores. I may still need to do this for one or two more
processors.
The icarus change should allow a future release of the icarus
application to import games with external SNES coprocessor firmware once
again. It will also allow this to be possible when used in library mode.

Update to v104r13 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- nall/GNUmakefile: build=release changed to -O2, build=optimize is
now -O3
- hiro: added Monitor::dpi(uint index) → Position [returns logical
DPI for x, y]
- Position is a bad name, but dpi(monitor).(x,y)() make more sense
than .(width,height)()
- hiro: Position, Size, Geometry, Font changed from using signed int
to float
- hiro: Alignment changed from using double to float
- hiro: added skeleton (unused) Application::scale(), setScale()
functions
Errata:
- hiro/cocoa's Monitor::dpi() is untested. Probably will cause issues
with macOS' automatic scaling.
- hiro/gtk lacks a way to get both per-monitor and per-axis (x,y) DPI
scaling
- hiro/qt lacks a way to get per-monitor DPI scaling (Qt 5.x has this,
but I still use Qt 4.x)
- and just to get global DPI, hiro/qt's DPI retrieval has to use
undocumented functions ... fun
The goal with this WIP was basically to prepare hiro for potential
automatic scaling. It'll be extremely difficult, but I'm convinced that
it must be possible if macOS can do it.
By moving from signed integers to floats for coordinates, we can now
scale and unscale without losing precision. That of course isn't the
hard part, though. The hard part is where and how to do the scaling. In
the ideal application, hiro/core and hiro/extension will handle 100% of
this, and the per-platform hiro/(cocoa,gtk,qt,windows) will not be aware
of what's going on, but ... to even make that possible, things will need
to change in every per-platform core, eg the per-platform code will have
to call a core function to change geometry, which will know about the
scaling and unscale the values back down again.
Gonna be a lot of work, but ... it's a start.

[Sintendo]
¹: The observation that this mapper split $4000-7fff into two banks
came from MAME's implementation. But their implementation was quite
broken and incomplete, so I didn't actually use any of it. The
observation that this mapper split $a000-bfff into two banks came from
Tauwasser, and I did directly use that information, plus the knowledge
that $0400/$0800 are the RAM bank select registers.
The text corruption is due to a race condition with timing. The game is
transferring font letters via HDMA, but the game code ends up setting
the bank# with the font a bit too late after the HDMA has already
occurred. I'm not sure how to fix this ... as a whole, I assumed my Game
Boy timing was pretty good, but apparently it's not that good.
²: The entire design of this mapper comes from endrift's notes.
endrift gets full credit for higan being able to emulate this mapper.
Note that the accelerometer implementation is still not tested, and
probably won't work right until I tweak the sensitivity a lot.
³: So the fun part of this is ... it breaks the strict 60fps rate of
the Game Boy. This was always inevitable: certain timing conditions can
stretch frames, too. But this is pretty much an absolute deal breaker
for something like Vsync timing. This pretty much requires adaptive sync
to run well without audio stuttering during the transition.
There's currently one very important detail missing: when the LCD is
turned off, presumably the image on the screen fades to white. I do not
know how long this process takes, or how to really go about emulating
it. Right now as an incomplete patch, I'm simply leaving the last
displayed image on the screen until the LCD is turned on again. But I
will have to output white, as well as add code to break out of the
emulation loop periodically when the LCD is left off eg indefinitely, or
bad things would happen. I'll work something out and then implement.
Another detail is I'm not sure how long it takes for the LCD to start
rendering again once enabled. Right now, it's immediate. I've heard it's
as long as 1/60th of a second, but that really seems incredibly
excessive? I'd like to know at least a reasonably well-supported
estimate before I implement that.

¹: because there's no concept of a controller for cartridge inputs,
I'm attaching to the base platform for now. An idea I had was to make
separate ports for each cartridge type ... but this would duplicate the
rumble input between MBC5 and MBC7. And would also be less discoverable.
But it would be more clean in that users wouldn't think the Game Boy
hardware had this functionality. I'll think about it.
²: it probably won't work yet. Rumble isn't documented anywhere, but
I dug through an emulator named GEST and discovered that it seems to use
bit 3 of the RAM bank select to be rumble. I don't know if it sets the
bit for rumbling, then clears when finished, or if it sets it and then
after a few milliseconds it stops rumbling. I couldn't test on my
FreeBSD box because SDL 1.2 doesn't support rumble, udev doesn't exist
on FreeBSD, and nobody has ever posted any working code for how to use
evdev (or whatever it's called) on FreeBSD.
³: I'm still thinking about specifying the MBC7 RAM as EEPROM, since
it's not really static RAM.
⁴: if possible, please test all drivers if you can. I want to ensure
they're all working. Especially let me know if the following work:
macOS: input.carbon Linux: audio.pulseaudiosimple, audio.ao (libao)
If I can confirm these are working, I'm going to then remove them from
being included with stock higan builds.
I'm also considering dropping SDL video on Linux/BSD. XShm is much
faster and supports blurring. I may also drop SDL input on Linux, since
udev works better. That will free a dependency on SDL 1.2 for building
higan. FreeBSD is still going to need it for joypad support, however.

ports
- sfc/ppu: improve latching behavior of BGnHOFS registers (not

(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 >_>

- 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

- hiro/windows: suppress spurious API-generated `onSize()` callback

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 v103 WIP release.
byuu says (in the WIP forum):
Changelog:
- higan: cheat codes accept = and ? separators now
- the new preferred code format is: address=value or
address=if-match?value
- the old code format of address/value and address/if-match/value
will continue to work
- higan: cheats.bml is no longer included with the base distribution
- mightymo stopped updating it in 2015, and it's not source code;
it can still be pulled in from older releases
- fc: improved PAL mode timing; use PAL APU timing tables; fix PAL
noise period table [hex\_usr]
- md: support aborting a Z80 bus wait in order to capture save states
without freezing
- note that this will violate accuracy; but in practice a slight
desync is better than an emulator deadlock
- sfc: revert DSP ENDX randomization for now (want to research it more
before deploying in an official release)
- sfc: fix Super Famicom.sys/manifest.bml APU RAM size [hex\_usr]
- tomoko: cleaned up make install rules
- hiro/cocoa: use ABGR for pixel data [Sintendo]
Note: I forgot to change the command-line and drag-and-drop separator
from : to | in this WIP. However, it is corrected in the v103 official
binary and source published on download.byuu.org. Sorry about that, I
know it makes the Git repository history more difficult. I'm not
concerned whether the : → | change is part of v103 or v103r01 in the
repository, and will leave this to your discretion, Screwtape.
I also still need to set the VDP bit to indicate PAL mode in the Mega
Drive core. This is what happens when I have 47 things I have to do,
given how lousy my memory is. I miss things.

Update to v102r06 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- added higan/emulator/platform.hpp (moved out Emulator::Platform from
emulator/interface.hpp)
- moved gmake build paramter to nall/GNUmakefile; both higan and
icarus use it now
- added build=profile mode
- MD: added the region select I/O register
- MD: started to add region selection support internally (still no
external select or PAL support)
- PCE: added cycle stealing when reading/writing to the VDC or VCE;
and when using ST# instructions
- PCE: cleaned up PSG to match the behavior of Mednafen (doesn't
improve sound at all ;_;)
- note: need to remove loadWaveSample, loadWavePeriod
- HuC6280: ADC/SBC decimal mode consumes an extra cycle; does not set
V flag
- HuC6280: block transfer instructions were taking one cycle too many
- icarus: added code to strip out PC Engine ROM headers
- hiro: added options support to BrowserDialog
The last one sure ended in failure. The plan was to put a region
dropdown directly onto hiro::BrowserDialog, and I had all the code for
it working. But I forgot one important detail: the system loads
cartridges AFTER powering on, so even though I could technically change
the system region post-boot, I'd rather not do so.
So that means we have to know what region we want before we even select
a game. Shit.

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 v101r19 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- added \~130 new PAL games to icarus (courtesy of Smarthuman
and aquaman)
- added all three Korean-localized games to icarus
- sfc: removed SuperDisc emulation (it was going nowhere)
- sfc: fixed MSU1 regression where the play/repeat flags were not
being cleared on track select
- nall: cryptography support added; will be used to sign future
databases (validation will always be optional)
- minor shims to fix compilation issues due to nall changes
The real magic is that we now have 25-30% of the PAL SNES library in
icarus!
Signing will be tricky. Obviously if I put the public key inside the
higan archive, then all anyone has to do is change that public key for
their own releases. And if you download from my site (which is now over
HTTPS), then you don't need the signing to verify integrity. I may just
put the public key on my site on my site and leave it at that, we'll
see.

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 v101r05 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- 68K: fixed bug that affected BSR return address
- VDP: added very preliminary emulation of planes A, B, W (W is
entirely broken though)
- VDP: added command/address stuff so you can write to VRAM, CRAM,
VSRAM
- VDP: added VRAM fill DMA
I would be really surprised if any commercial games showed anything at
all, so I'd probably recommend against wasting your time trying, unless
you're really bored :P
Also, I wanted to add: I am accepting patches\! So if anyone wants to
look over the 68K core for bugs, that would save me untold amounts of
time in the near future :D

Update to v101 release.
byuu says (in the public announcement):
Not a large changelog this time, sorry. This release is mostly to fix
the SA-1 issue, and to get some real-world testing of the new scheduler
model. Most of the work in the past month has gone into writing a 68000
CPU core; yet it's still only about half-way finished.
Changelog (since the previous release):
- fixed SNES SA-1 IRQ regression (fixes Super Mario RPG level-up
screen)
- new scheduler for all emulator cores (precision of 2^-127)
- icarus database adds nine new SNES games
- added Input/Frequency to settings file (allows simulation of
latency)
byuu says (in the WIP forum):
Changelog:
- in 32-bit mode, Thread uses uint64\_t with 2^-63 time units (10^-7
precision in the worst case)
- nearly ten times the precision of an attosecond
- in 64-bit mode, Thread uses uint128\_t with 2^-127 time units
(10^-26 precision in the worst case)
- far more accurate than yoctoseconds; almost closing in on planck
time
Note: a quartz crystal is accurate to 10^-4 or 10^-5. A cesium fountain
atomic clock is accurate to 10^-15. So ... yeah. 2^-63 was perfectly
fine; but there was no speed penalty whatsoever for using uint128\_t in
64-bit mode, so why not?

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 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

- 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.

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.
