Lengths I'd taken seem to have been for dipoles, not single poles. So I just doubled the clock rate. Also I was producing each dipole as high then low, when they should probably be low then high. The Vic now at least recognises that something is happening on the tape.

Ensured ROMs survive in the new memory model.
2016-08-15 19:56:01 -04:00
Thomas Harte
38aec44d85
Made sufficient changes for the Vic itself to believe it can recast a PRG as a tape and insert it that way. So now the ball is in the court of: how the heck are Commodore tapes encoded?
2016-08-15 19:44:41 -04:00
Thomas Harte
547aefb696
Slightly adjusted PRG strategy, made a note about where next.
2016-08-14 16:36:42 -04:00
Thomas Harte
d9016909ed
Added some wiring for PAL/NTSC mode switching on the Vic, making an attempt to simplify the whole loop of having different clock rates.
2016-08-14 13:33:20 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Took basic steps towards supporting memory expansions.

Collapsed 6560 template to a more direct loop, albeit with quite a bit still left to fix.
2016-08-09 21:10:53 -04:00
Thomas Harte
12bad8f23f
Turned the 6560 into an ordinary template, similar to the rest of the project, albeit right now with a fairly shonky internal implementation. Fixed a Mac-specific interface sizing issue.
2016-08-09 20:41:05 -04:00
Thomas Harte
285a288c80
Switched to two cycles of options loading, meaning that they get set before files are inserted. Might need some further work?
2016-08-07 21:48:09 -04:00
Thomas Harte
be54d8040e
Made a first stab at having automatic loading be optional. But things are currently arranged such that the machine options are communicated too late to have an effect. So work to do.
2016-08-06 17:39:27 -04:00
Thomas Harte
3e65450a54
Converted the 6560 fully into a template; worked on allowing the typer to run at a much faster rate where hardware has some trigger by which it can request the next key.
2016-08-06 14:33:24 -04:00
Thomas Harte
d832e5e10d
Reduced 1540 PLL to running at 4Mhz. Which is possibly correct (?) Made minor change to avoid divide if possible.
2016-08-02 21:28:50 -04:00
Thomas Harte
5d40d70c92
Fixed 6560 addressing error, added an autotyper for Vic disks (more work potentially needed), fixed semantics for testing whether a 6502 is about to reset.

It appears the problem is as simple as sectors being counted from zero.

Some minor tidying, lots more of the caveman stuff as I try to determine what I'm doing wrong.
2016-08-01 09:43:08 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Slightly updated comments, switched to 1540 ROM so as very slightly to improve loading time.

Thomas Harte
b43a7381ae
Fixed framing and first-byte-after-sync signalling. Hacked together as parts of it are, loading now appears to work!

Thomas Harte

Put in the absolute minimum logic for drive motor emulation. Drive appears to be attempting head steps.
2016-07-31 19:38:51 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Made attempt to connect sync detect and then apply appropriate windowing, posting bytes to the appropriate place.

Reeled back all appropriate pieces of caveman debugging.

Thomas Harte
2332f72875
Formalised clock-rate multiplication within disk drives, discovered that the stepper didn't have ideal behaviour for my timed event loop and hence nailed down the semantics a ilttle more.
...
(obiter: the 1540 now appears to discern the correct sequence of bits. Framing is off in my test printfs but that's neither here nor there).
2016-07-31 13:32:30 -04:00
Thomas Harte
8f62211f5e
Wired up the 1540 as a PLL delegate. Which prima facie means it should start receiving a bit stream. Except that I clearly have something in the timing way off — either my flux transitions are far too short or I need to significantly increase the clock rate on the PLL.
2016-07-29 12:08:18 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Started turning the 1540 into an actual disk drive.

Thomas Harte
4ca6883f7c
Disabled attachment of a 1540 again, as I probably need to move to opening an actual disk image next.

Started trying to clean up, including commuting the C1540 source file name to match its class name but mainly by adding documentation.
2016-07-10 07:46:20 -04:00

Okay, so it seems that sync also works the other way around.
2016-07-09 22:25:44 -04:00
Thomas Harte
693c8b2438
After all that, it seems likely that inputs just aren't inverted for the Vic.
2016-07-09 20:03:38 -04:00
Thomas Harte
656cd211d7
Was transmitting bit levels backwards (probably?); 1540 now acknowledges byte received.

Messier and messier, but I've at least attempted to implement hardware attention acknowledge.

Thomas Harte
9a08ef61cb
Still fumbling in the margins: made an effort not to imply that the 1540 is forever reading syncs.

Thomas Harte
199c0e27e0
Mostly just random guesses now, to be honest. It's approaching the end of my window for the morning.

Per the ROM disassembly, the Vic's VIA outputs are inverted for the benefit of the serial bus.
2016-07-07 06:57:21 -04:00
Thomas Harte
c9479f923b
The inversion of truth was clearly just a problematic API. Got explicit. LineLevel might need to become more pervasive.
2016-07-07 06:44:13 -04:00
Thomas Harte
dcb86a027a
Okay, so the 1540 doesn't toggle the actual attention line. I don't know what it does yet but this helps.
2016-07-06 22:31:14 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Since the ROM is well disassembled, let's actually try to be a 1541 first.

It appears that the attention line is also wired to CB2. So the ball is back in the 6522's court.
2016-07-05 19:19:46 -04:00
Thomas Harte
11fc43aa04
Made an attempt to allow the 1540 to talk back to the Vic, and to receive interrupts. Also slightly disambiguated debugging logging.

Attempted to separate out the concept of a serial port and a serial bus, since the bus may be shared, and to establish half duplex communications from the Vic.

Made a first attempt to implement the full top-to-bottom change of clock rates, giving the Atari the ability to change rate when it switches to PAL mode, as it should always have been.

Thomas Harte
3fc472d5cb
Expanded typing to include phase for machines that need to go through multiple keypresses to reach a certain state, expanded Vic to be able to type most things (still bodged on lowercase though), and to schedule a 'run' if it's supposed to be loading into RAM, spotting that opportunity actually to do so.
2016-06-19 13:46:53 -04:00

Hacked my 6522 to work. Mistake is in not returning output as input when appropriate — i.e. that I'm ignoring data direction. Also fixed K and L keys.

Thomas Harte
e99055bedb
Attempted switching back to a square wave for the composite video and otherwise implementing what's necessary to get to that flashing cursor — the 6560 returns its scan line and the timing bits of the 6522 are appearing.
2016-06-08 22:15:24 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Increased logging slightly, ensured all of colour RAM can be read, slightly improved the 2600 pixel decoder.

Thomas Harte
26ab96868a
Decided to turn the 6522 into a template, since it's a per-cycle thing with variable behaviour. Added appropriate memory map callouts to hit the two in the Vic. Though they don't yet do anything.

The Vic now captures the ROMs sent to it and has just enough infrastructure to get to a black screen. Progress!

Kicking the ball a little further down the road, ROMs and PRGs now reach the actual emulated machine.

A CRT is still absent but this moves the ball back into the C++ side's court.

Back to asynchronous updates and drawing, to try to improve guarantees on audio latency; experimenting with whether other parts of the approach are fundamentally flawed; added a broad-phase for scheduled updates on the 2600.
2016-06-02 21:22:55 -04:00

Issues appear to be around timing generally. Working on it.

Quick fix to the polynomials.

With no regard to performance whatsoever, endeavoured to bring sound to the 2600. It's very scratchy, so something is wrong.
2016-06-02 19:50:16 -04:00
Thomas Harte
1e0fcbbee8
Made a very basic stab at a couple of the tone generators, added straight-through path for the speaker when input rate exactly equals output rate.
2016-06-01 19:53:16 -04:00
Thomas Harte
40c4544fb7
Got the basic sound pipeline pumping, just enough for static-level audio seemingly to work. Berzerk VE says "intruder alert, intruder alert", anyway.
2016-06-01 19:27:04 -04:00
Thomas Harte
8dc66167be
Made an attempt to consolidate the Objective-C++ side of things based on the incoming CRTMachine::Machine
.

Thomas Harte
5c4f35e13f
Finally started on generalising the C++ stuff so as to be able to be able to get a working audio binding on the OS-specific side without further repetition by factoring an appropriate protocol out from the Electron and sketching out the correct speaker class for the Atari. Added a method to ask it what a good output frequency would be.
2016-05-31 21:23:44 -04:00

Rethought, hopefully perfecting, sprite timing.

Made an attempt further to rationalise timing.
2016-05-27 21:51:27 -04:00

Switched to looking backwards rather than forwards.

Thomas Harte

Sprites are still a pixel off but better; made some attempt to move things outside of the loop.
2016-05-25 21:43:19 -04:00
Thomas Harte
40c2c0bd2d
Minor simplifications and improvements. Still trying to figure out what's causing the non-linear edge addressing.
2016-05-25 21:12:25 -04:00
Thomas Harte

I'm back to thinking that resets are deferred but pixel counts are live.
2016-05-25 07:32:25 -04:00
Thomas Harte
758806f924
Introduced a separate queue for pixels, which may or may not be correct.
2016-05-24 21:39:57 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Set up a pipeline for all pixels that attempts to allow for appropriate delays.
2016-05-24 07:58:26 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Thomas Harte
c3e719c4ab
Added missile-to-player offsetting. Completing the list of graphics-related TODOs.

Ensured that resetting the horizontal timer affects phase.

Various bits of caveman debugging appearing and disappearing, switched to latching ball behaviour.

Thomas Harte
5e220562e4
Actually, the four-clock delay, with palette taking effect immediately, appears to be correct. So back to the drawing board on that.
2016-05-21 21:44:54 -04:00
Thomas Harte
4eded9b9d0
Re-enabled collisions.

Counters run every scan line regardless of blank and sync. Also played further with timing.

Fixed incorrect duplication.

Fixed object motion decoding and checking of the repeat mask for missile graphics.
2016-05-18 21:36:28 -04:00

Threw in missiles. To 'complete' graphics output. Or, rather, to move me on to debugging.

Attempted to generalise on pixel counter storage, at least. Further adjusted background timing but I'm still not sure.
2016-05-17 21:41:32 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Extended scheduling plans, inserted initial events for hmove, albeit not yet implemented.
2016-05-17 18:21:49 -04:00
Thomas Harte
6a961c4d28
Added something of the ball counter, but without yet a working HMOVE it's prone to error.
2016-05-17 07:18:14 -04:00
Thomas Harte
7d3cf76576
Generalised slightly, to allow events to be queued up to eight cycles in advance; most importantly each event gets to pick its own delay.
2016-05-17 07:09:18 -04:00
Thomas Harte
3d003070b3
Made an attempt better to generalise the idea of things with 4 CLK delays.
2016-05-16 21:54:27 -04:00
Thomas Harte
4ad074fc78
Introduced a four-cycle delay between playfield fetch and display, curing Yar's Revenge. Also disabled barrel roll scanling colouring again. I really need to make my mind up on that.

2016-05-14 16:52:24 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Realised why new shaders weren't taking. Very negligibly decreased Atari drawing cost.
2016-05-12 22:22:24 -04:00
Thomas Harte
6d65bc9b3a
Permitted a wider error window on vertical sync, tidied things up a little and started trying to move towards full implementation of the OpenGL contract.

Thomas Harte

These functions appear correctly to model the NTSC and PAL palettes; the CRT's attempt to switch function doesn't work properly yet though.

Thomas Harte
5a4262d74e
Confirmed: it is inaccurate for a 6502 to self reset at power up. So that responsibility now rests in the machines.

Thomas Harte
9260d97b03
Oh, of course, it's that the output vertex array doesn't get initialised unless there's an RGB shader program. Silly oversight. Fixed. And switched back to TV output for correct colours.
2016-04-24 17:56:36 -04:00
Thomas Harte
d0f9a6c2f5
Added a dump-the-input default RGB output shader. Which at least proves that the Atari 2600 is generally still working.
2016-04-24 17:35:25 -04:00
Thomas Harte
80a3169674
Started reviving the Atari 2600 emulation. Put new startup sequence into place.

Added: key states are all cleared if the window loses focus. Which resolves sticky key issues. Allowing me just to use command+option+O for options and map both command and option as FUNC.
2016-04-19 21:29:10 -04:00
Thomas Harte
66f2c10c04
Resolved potential crash if tape requests are made without one inserted. Softened glFinish to glFlush, though I'm still not sure I should strictly need even that.

94f148e212
Wired in options, at least getting as far as the Objective-C bridge. Then fast loading makes it to the emulated machine, display output type doesn't.

Thomas Harte
499f7ace07
Re-enabled working video output for the Electron for the day and consolidated the rough metric I'm using to pick a number of taps for the audio filter.

Switching temporarily to an attempt to draw input runs as if RGB: shader compiles, fixed a race condition on out-of-bounds accesses for the source buffer.

Thomas Harte
104f44f27f
Attempted to improve deinterlacing, gave the CRT full control over blend mode, switched back to 2000000Mhz audio.
2016-04-14 22:20:47 -04:00
Thomas Harte
6a17c2992d
Introduced a compile-time configurable audio divider, set it arbitrarily to '8' for now. Discovered why my graphics aren't centred and added a TODO.

Source runs are now captured, and that buffer appropriately reset.

A source array buffer is also now created, mapped, unmapped, etc.

Thomas Harte
7276a06cc0
Added a helper to calculate a visible rect based on output timings, used it to scale the Electron output up to the full window size.
2016-04-11 21:47:23 -04:00
Thomas Harte
a3c2cd880e
I discovered a further post on this on the STH forums; apparently the Electron simply asserts sync continuously. No breaks.
2016-04-11 21:01:09 -04:00
Thomas Harte
bdb99ba92f
Corrections back towards composite output: fixed misnamed constant, ensured the CRT doesn't write nonsense to the output buffer, ensured it grows three vertices at a time rather than six when desired. Net effect should be that the output stage is working again, with the input processing remaining to fill in.
2016-04-10 22:56:52 -04:00
Thomas Harte
8701366277
Switched horizontal sync detection back to differential, switched the Electron to an XOR-style sync output (believed to be accurate, but I need to check), fixed some latent issues around vertical sync detection.

Fixes: drop any processing backlog, try not to allow an Electron document to close mid-draw, perform a frame grab even if the emulated machine is over-processing, really really don't create a CRT until it's safe.
2016-03-20 18:42:37 -04:00

Thomas Harte
15120d8fb6
Switched to probably more accurate contended memory, resolved issue of not leaving the tape data received interrupt set when returning a byte from the fast tape, fixing Joe Blade, and tested slightly further to determine that interrupts probably signal upon entry into horizontal sync.
2016-03-14 19:29:28 -04:00

This is as simplified as things seem to be able to get without breaking at least Northern Star. Joe Blade et al remain stubbornly broken but I'm not immediately able to determine why.

I think this is a prima facie acceptable implementation of the fast tape hack.

Moved interrupt back down to where it's probably meant to be.

Thomas Harte
763d5e8819
Access timing now appears to be exactly on the nail. Disabled automatic interrupt expiration again as I'm not persuaded it's correct for at least the RTC.

Believing the previous implementation to be overly complicated through premature optimisation, simplified video. It's slightly slower now. Will need work. Immediately to do: figure out how to deal with blank scan lines.

Thomas Harte
f232a12fad
Fixed RAM timings: it's at least two and possibly three cycles to access RAM, and an access that overlaps with video fetch in Modes 0–3 will cost the length of the video fetch rather than somehow finishing in time.

Made an attempt to reestablish the Atari 2600 output connection despite various changes (TODO: generalise that stuff), and to start creating the composite shader.

Still stepping slowly towards a working composite mode, switched the RGB sampling function to returning a vec4
, which may be of benefit to any machine with a brightness part of an RGB signal, and started edging towards at least having the correct GLSL programs ready for converting composite output.

7839d93344
With the provision of an extra hint to the CRT and, finally, the realisation about why my scans weren't exactly joining up, improved output precision.

Working towards HQ UEF support: fixed bug whereby writing to tape output would reset input pulse stepper; added support for chunk 0116 and approximate support for 0113.

00f414d757
Made an attempt to reintroduce interlacing and screen modes with gaps. Something's wrong with synchronisation though, so most likely I'm outputting a bad signal.

Blank lines are missing (if the double negative can be forgiven) but the framebuffer is otherwise seemingly working well again.

Thomas Harte
a3432120f3
Fixed synchronisation — my two fields weren't of equal length, I wasn't breaking calls to the CRT upon 40/80 transitions, I had the wrong maximum run length. Now I just need to put real pixels back in.
2016-02-19 23:57:57 -05:00

Got back to a stable image, at least when staying in a mode. Which is what I was trying to fix. Hmmm.

Thomas Harte
dce1649fc5
Commuted some camelCase variables into more standard C++ underscore names; decided the best fix for the graphics output is to break it down into much simpler chunks. output_pixels is currently a placeholder that simply outputs blank so the current effect is that all data is missing but it should be easy enough now to put pixels back in.

Made an attempt to switch to the flywheels for both vertical and horizontal sync, and to act more appropriately for out-of-bounds sync requests. Lots of tweaking to do, I fear.

Switched to generating an interlaced output, that apparently being correct. Enabled a poor man's version of phosphor persistence to smooth things out a little. It's not completely unconvincing.

Made an attempt to be more rigorous in display generation on the Electron, to make sure I deal with mid-line changes to/from blank line mode. Even if it turns out that they generate pixels.

Bumped the speaker up to the full namespace, since Tape lives there to avoid delegation complexity. Turned the CRT into something the Electron statically owns, fixing a memory leak by simplifying.

Ensured that all relevant information is given to the tape class. Made an attempt not to write to a screen output buffer if we don't have one. Added some debug printing.

Added a lot of commenting to the CPU6502 definition, simplifying its construction. Added missing nullability modifier to CSElectron. Fixed bad-habit Objective-C style naming on the Electron's Interrupt enum.

Attempted further to improve latency; added view adjustment for non-4:3 output aspect ratios. The 4:3 is currently hardcoded, so further work will be required.

I'm not yet completely convinced by my approach to time basing, but it'll probably do? If so then this more or less gets me ready for a point-sampled filtering.

Added the option for the CSCathodeRayView to show only a subsection of the full scan area. Zoomed in a little on the 2600. Put in enough piping to give the Electron sight of its ROMs at least.

You now get an Electron only if you ask for a new file. That'll do for now while it's the only thing that one might want to start without supplying a file. The 6502 now starts from a defined point — being reset. The Electron is starting to grow the absolute most simple buds of its memory map.

Okay, it looks like colour 3 is approximately phase offset 0, and the palette wraps around after 14 entries, not 16. Also got a bit less dependent on floating point accuracy for the step.

Experimenting with pre-encoding luminance and chrominance separation over on the

CPU as otherwise the GPU does them repetitively and more awkwardly (as it's working purely in floats). It means uploading twice as much data though, so I don't
know. Still only half as much as the RGBA path of a few days ago. Will experiment.
Also slightly adjusted division of responsibility in the fragment shader per the
desire to have the `sample` function owned externally.

My understanding now is that object position counting will begin the cycle after the call is made, not that cycle, and that the timer loops just once, with the logic for counter pumping being whether the relevant flag is still set, irregardless of whether the counter is still going.
