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.

It's the worst fragment shader you'll ever see. The worst. But this attempts NTSC composite video emulation, artefacts included.

At last! Discovered CRT scanning bug; was always moving by the full proposed run length along the scan, not the time until the next event. Using this, have implemented proper vertical sync at last (I think). Have disabled scanline banding too, as now everything meets up it's more helpful to be able to see with clarity.

Ensured that no backlog accumulates of cycles to run. Otherwise the background queue was lagging behind.

Wired up joystick directions, at least, and fire button presses get as far as the C++. But there's some latching to figure out before they'll work.

Switched vertical sync detection method, at least for now. They never happen automatically (I need to fix that) and just always take effect if detected in the lower half of the display. PAL/NTSC is determined just by looking at the refresh rate.

Got rid of the thread hopping in order to redraw the GL view. Which appears to help significantly with total application cost.

Found and fixed some timing errors in absolute indexed and in (indirect), y addressing modes: neither is able in write or read-modify-write modes to shave a cycle as then can when reading.

Added one basic timing test, for now: implied nop should be two cycles.

Removed the implicit reset upon 6502 startup, adding a reset line. Hence all tests now pass again. Added an empty shell for timing tests, the all-RAM 6502 now counting bus cycles.

Switched back to one texel per colour clock, at least for now. Attempted to break _RGBA assumption within the cathode ray view.

The cathode ray view no longer hard codes the frame size. So that's one less coupling. Doubled pixel output size to give sufficient sampling detail to capture the NTSC colour clock (ummm, hopefully).

Broke assumption that every item in a vertex description is a short, specifically turning lateral into a byte. Which buys me a byte for phase, if that's sufficient.
2015-08-05 21:12:33 -04:00

Fixed scanline sizing and fill issues, as well as shortening vsync to the correct Atari length.

I'm ashamed to admit, I: played with numbers until enough things looked stable such that I can investigate other things. Discovery: my PAL autodetection was way off. Fixed, hopefully.

Full separate 'lateral' usage is go. Also probably at some point I need to throw in a phase property, which this new flexibility will help with.

Started making the format of data included in a CRTFrame less a matter of variously hard-coded magic constants. Which will allow me to separate the idea of an internal lateral position from the direct texture coordinate, avoiding precision sampling errors at the top and bottom.

Eliminated the vertical retrace counter; vertical retrace ends when the beam gets back to the top.

Added an attempt at NTSC/PAL autodetection, based on number of missed vertical syncs.

Factored out a few more constants, started trying to ensure there's enough slack and the mechanisms in place for the CathodeRayView to hold onto two frames if it desires, for potential phosphor simulation, switched once again to additive blending — much more like a real CRT — and added a sine function across the width of spans per my understanding of how an electron gun actually fires.
...
Why do all this when overall timing is still so far off? It helps me more easily see how overall timing is so far off.

Reintroduced emergency vertical sync — so that output occurs even when the emulation isn't catching syncs properly — and switched some spaces to tabs.

It appears ARC extends its reach into C++ nowadays. Fixed additional retain cycle.

Started working out some of my retain cycles and general failures to release. Switched .mm filename so that Xcode will stop getting confused when I try to switch between implementation and interface files.

Slightly expanded width of cathode ray gun, decided to figure out exactly how to deal with off-by-one lengths and precision at a later date, ensured that failure to catch vertical sync doesn't cause out-of-bounds buffer access on the hard-coded, assumed large enough, 512x512 data textures.

With a slight tweak to the informal protocol used for 6502 memory access cycles, ensured the wait strobe actually halts the CPU, to give a more accurate linking of machine time to real time.
2015-07-26 15:55:19 -04:00

Switched to idiomatic source name, ensured latest project name is in all appropriate header places, threw texture coordinates slightly into the shader mix.
