Thomas Harte	6dfe877c43	Basic attempts to organise myself into shape for composite output continue.	2016-03-07 21:22:47 -05:00
Thomas Harte	1e5fe2b2c1	Made an attempt to reestablish the Atari 2600 output connection despite various changes (TODO: generalise that stuff), and to start creating the composite shader.	2016-03-07 21:04:04 -05:00
Thomas Harte	2de229152f	Started sketching out shaders to do the first part of the composite conversion.	2016-03-07 19:21:04 -05:00
Thomas Harte	cd9c62acca	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.	2016-03-07 19:08:26 -05:00
Thomas Harte	3b6c9c15a1	Switching momentarily back to monitor mode, resolved why I was suddenly getting no output upon creating some texture targets.	2016-03-07 18:55:15 -05:00
Thomas Harte	eefd17ed4c	Fixed sync response in composite scan output generation and stored texture coordinates.	2016-03-05 21:52:22 -05:00
Thomas Harte	6cddb4c9c8	Added a first attempt to generate output scans for composite mode. So this in theory completes the CPU side of composite operations. Though I'm sure problems will reveal themselves.	2016-03-05 21:18:28 -05:00
Thomas Harte	3f39803d32	Switched to triangle strips, to eliminate the need for any temporary storage for the composite output path.	2016-03-05 20:47:11 -05:00
Thomas Harte	23c223e2ed	Started edging towards completing the CPU side of accumulating enough data for composite decoding.	2016-03-05 17:55:18 -05:00
Thomas Harte	5c8db71c64	Corrected some constants, ensured both machines (so far) are setting the output device.	2016-03-05 16:19:10 -05:00
Thomas Harte	70b6d51451	Ever more baby steps back towards composite decoding.	2016-03-05 14:36:12 -05:00
Thomas Harte	2f7626a5e0	Okay, this definitely definitely is supposed to be this way around.	2016-02-28 22:00:05 -05:00
Thomas Harte	3449120c24	Added a note to future self, put the scan edge generator back to the way round it was before.	2016-02-27 22:51:37 -05:00
Thomas Harte	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.	2016-02-27 22:39:01 -05:00
Thomas Harte	1c6de7692d	Made an attempt to fix tape output interrupts; offloaded raster width and placing conversion to the GPU.	2016-02-27 20:37:41 -05:00
Thomas Harte	db18c85423	Simplified the run builder rather; put a double check of Electron timing in place.	2016-02-25 22:01:42 -05:00
Thomas Harte	1eea28b692	Disabled some debugging parts, added some others, marked some things as inline. Ticking over.	2016-02-22 23:35:42 -05:00
Thomas Harte	4b28e7b974	Switched back to a single array and vertex buffer.	2016-02-21 22:54:55 -05:00
Thomas Harte	574985f9a2	Fixed interlaced timing; switched to a more robust detector for horizontal sync; eliminated some test logging.	2016-02-20 20:29:40 -05:00
Thomas Harte	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.	2016-02-20 17:32:51 -05:00
Thomas Harte	68992a62f9	Switched to a subtler to out-of-band syncs.	2016-02-20 00:16:07 -05:00
Thomas Harte	1954f7bcbd	Got back to a stable image, at least when staying in a mode. Which is what I was trying to fix. Hmmm.	2016-02-19 23:41:09 -05:00
Thomas Harte	570d88a876	Added a simple metric for measuring surprise. Which will hopefully allow me to reimplement PAL/NTSC auto-selection for the Atari 2600.	2016-02-18 23:22:06 -05:00
Thomas Harte	ce3c098c28	Widened beam a little, moved to a linear approximation of age across scans, cut number of stored frames.	2016-02-16 21:48:09 -05:00
Thomas Harte	b261e86c62	Reintroduced lateral as a parameter in CRT drawing, to simulate a rounded raster.	2016-02-16 20:37:04 -05:00
Thomas Harte	a01f90ff3e	Attempted a switch to the real PAL visible area and to something a bit like a real phosphor decay.	2016-02-14 21:57:23 -05:00
Thomas Harte	7580d192d5	Fixes: now setting correct frame time estimate, properly enabling the timestamp attribute, and ensuring that the Electron flushes screen work at least once per host frame update.	2016-02-14 19:28:02 -05:00
Thomas Harte	752db78431	No doubt still imperfect but killed the repeated whole texture uploads.	2016-02-13 23:55:02 -05:00
Thomas Harte	697e50c0cc	Screen output is back, no matter how inefficiently.	2016-02-13 23:50:18 -05:00
Thomas Harte	d0b2d840da	A minor fix to data queuing. Display still absent.	2016-02-13 20:57:41 -05:00
Thomas Harte	eeb0e134fd	Started the transition towards a more natural collection of rolling buffers, with phosphor decay in mind.	2016-02-13 20:52:23 -05:00
Thomas Harte	fd2d5c78f8	Started trying to nudge towards the multistage approach to video decoding.	2016-02-12 22:31:05 -05:00
Thomas Harte	0a09762be6	Fixed output precision compared to the new approach of trusting the flywheel for position, and eliminated fixed-Acorn constants. Also re-enabled the faded previous frame, at least temporarily.	2016-02-12 19:53:49 -05:00
Thomas Harte	1d20a29d97	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.	2016-02-11 23:43:08 -05:00
Thomas Harte	c81891ec43	Minor tidying and at least acknowledged the new flywheel encapsulation.	2016-02-11 22:13:38 -05:00
Thomas Harte	a6574d1f96	Made an attempt to factor out and more clearly to document my implementation of flywheel synchronisation.	2016-02-11 22:12:12 -05:00
Thomas Harte	c66409421e	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.	2016-02-10 23:11:25 -05:00
Thomas Harte	b5bcadb8d3	Reinstated clipped CRT output, with more appropriate ownership of the decision.	2016-02-07 22:18:55 -05:00
Thomas Harte	3a689d14cc	Added padding of supplied data to correct for any potential rounding errors when rendering.	2016-02-07 20:29:32 -05:00
Thomas Harte	3a9ea66f8b	Filled in shader class.	2016-02-07 19:21:22 -05:00
Thomas Harte	4d0a218a57	Certainly at least seriously considering a separate holder for the "compile a shader" logic. Otherwise taking steps back towards PAL/NTSC decoding.	2016-02-07 17:32:38 -05:00
Thomas Harte	602327cd9d	Sketched out a quick class for rendering to texture.	2016-02-07 15:42:02 -05:00
thomasharte	2cb12a7513	Allowed overly aggressive allocations to be cleared up after the fact.	2016-02-06 16:07:23 -05:00
Thomas Harte	bf348ccb96	Fixed clearing logic.	2016-02-05 22:47:12 -05:00
Thomas Harte	6ab425deda	There is now a semi-reasonable amount of screen output again.	2016-02-05 21:35:39 -05:00
Thomas Harte	80e7e5e602	Updated to return old behaviour of drawing only upon changes.	2016-02-04 23:05:47 -05:00
Thomas Harte	8bc3f8046d	This endeavours to move everything into the CRT class except the final version of shader building.	2016-02-04 22:57:46 -05:00
Thomas Harte	e0d51408e4	Onward with carrying this through to the bitter end, this at least results in all the appropriate knowledge and call-ins occuring at the CRT.	2016-02-04 22:28:50 -05:00
