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
Thomas Harte	09e11469c3	Simplified further: eliminated delegate. Which means I can go frame-free internally to the CRT at some point, if I want.	2016-02-03 19:11:18 -05:00
Thomas Harte	19393390ac	It's broken now, but this is what I now intend the full public interface of the CRT to be.	2016-02-02 22:41:33 -05:00
Thomas Harte	4554abb755	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.	2016-01-29 21:14:13 -05:00
Thomas Harte	adc6838ba0	Continued slow migration of shader ownership to CRT. Attempted to start debugging the tape interface.	2016-01-27 21:35:57 -05:00
Thomas Harte	1819e7b9cc	Started sketching out an appropriate interface to transfer responsibility for shaders to the CRT.	2016-01-23 19:06:32 -05:00
Thomas Harte	ace331d4b4	Got a bit higher level in CRT timing specification. Which internally allows it now to infer the colour clock frequency. Which will be helpful momentarily.	2016-01-23 18:53:20 -05:00
Thomas Harte	a9e26d7808	Introduced a scan's delay, as intended.	2016-01-23 17:49:25 -05:00
Thomas Harte	20cab08f8f	Added a two-slot buffer of scans and a comon dispatch mechanism.	2016-01-23 17:44:34 -05:00
Thomas Harte	0efe4b312c	Disabled my various bits of rate interchange debugging; improved test for when to call update_display due to a RAM write.	2016-01-21 22:16:52 -05:00
Thomas Harte	48ddd3c497	Set about documenting the CRT; while doing so decided to add an optional clock divider for input; having done so decided to try to exploit it with the Electron.	2016-01-21 21:17:47 -05:00
Thomas Harte	4c16d34063	Moved set_tape so that the inline definition of get_next_tape_pulse is visible to it. Also eliminated some dead typedefs.	2016-01-20 08:27:25 -05:00
Thomas Harte	f727582911	Started making first moves towards stripping CSCathodeRayView of its responsibilities. If that can be merely an OpenGL view that presents things, things will be a lot more portable.	2016-01-20 08:21:33 -05:00
Thomas Harte	e65cd4cf06	Some data is marginally reaching the CPU from the tape.	2016-01-19 22:05:34 -05:00
Thomas Harte	ddcc34740b	Added lots of debugging output while I attempt to locate the source of audio scratchiness, also simplified manner of dealing with wraparound within the AudioQueue wrapper.	2016-01-18 13:50:19 -06:00
Thomas Harte	b58e59e2bb	Fixed: now outputting the requested output rate, rather than massively overproducing at the input rate.	2016-01-14 23:12:40 -05:00
Thomas Harte	383b2be4c6	Fixed one off-by-one error.	2016-01-14 21:33:27 -05:00
Thomas Harte	8bd04a6be4	Switched model for filter subclasses. Implemented test square[-ish] wave to check for obvious stream errors. None is clear.	2016-01-14 21:27:02 -05:00
Thomas Harte	38ffcaa262	Here, at last, is _some_ audio output, at least.	2016-01-14 20:33:22 -05:00
Thomas Harte	afde8dac49	Closed the loop such that audio manages to bubble up into Objective-C.	2016-01-13 22:38:59 -05:00
Thomas Harte	439d452e23	Resolved some errors.	2016-01-13 22:11:33 -05:00
Thomas Harte	49e89a4bcb	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.	2016-01-13 22:02:39 -05:00
