Attempted a switch to the real PAL visible area and to something a bit like a real phosphor decay.

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.

Started the transition towards a more natural collection of rolling buffers, with phosphor decay in mind.

Certainly at least seriously considering a separate holder for the "compile a shader" logic. Otherwise taking steps back towards PAL/NTSC decoding.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tightened to provide lower latency audio, hopefully.

Edging towards audio output; the speaker is given appropriate input and output rates, and then updated with current divider and enabled/disabled status.

Started sketching out an interface for sound generation. Which made me realise that the CRT in CRTDelegate was redundant, since C++ has namespaces.

Withdrew soft filtering for now; until the sampling frequency is passed on it's not sufficiently rigorous.

Added some very basic filtering in RGB mode.

Made an attempt to get RGB output mode up and running, and showing at least a box where pixels would be.

Fixed to ensure that frame rendering wraps around, and to properly connect the Electron to its view. Now I need a working pixel shader.

This at least now connects up a CRT, though it never talks to it.

Added just enough that this is probably a successful boot. I guess I'm going to need to get invested in graphics next? Hmmm.

Thomas Harte
0db8938d27
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.
2016-01-06 23:14:36 -05:00
Thomas Harte
bfd9957c81
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.
2016-01-06 21:09:49 -05:00

Okay, so this is the absolute bare minimum about of refactoring and wiring necessary to get the [unimplemented] Electron machine pumping.

Okay, so then here's a first shot at the Objective-C -> C++ bridge for the Electron.

Started working on a shell for the Electron emulation, including factoring out the common CRT delegate -> Objective-C bridging, serial dispatch queue and frameskipping logic from the Atari 2600 shell.

Started sketching out an Acorn Electron emulation, as it's a platform I'm familiar with and will force me to figure out PAL decoding. Factored out NTSC-specific parts of the display decoding logic and hence added RGB output mode.
2016-01-03 20:41:43 -05:00

The standard Xcode versioning updates. Nothing of substance.

Very, _very_ minor: switched to normal C++ constructor syntax for simple variable initialisation.

Added a very basic attempt at shadow mask emulation.
2015-09-24 21:23:16 -04:00
Thomas Harte
63b648be65
Switched down to four samples per pixel, just more than half as many, to fit into a vec4. Edges aren't as smooth but I'm wondering whether it'll make much odds when I implement a shadow mask.
2015-09-17 19:25:15 -04:00

Of course, being in-phase means being the cosine wave.

An Xcode beta version bump, nothing more.

Formally gave the 2600 responsibility for providing the code that decodes one of the things it has put into a buffer into a composite sample.

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.
2015-09-03 11:15:23 -04:00

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.
2015-08-18 22:22:47 -04:00
Thomas Harte

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.
2015-08-18 20:33:24 -04:00
Thomas Harte
902795d61c
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.
2015-08-18 00:17:03 -04:00
Thomas Harte
a693c081f8
Switched on the appropriate compiler warnings re: signed comparisons and implicit conversions. Fixed all less-than-explicit calls.

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 a couple of timing tests, both of which seem to pass for now.
2015-08-13 01:55:23 +01:00
Thomas Harte

Added one basic timing test, for now: implied nop should be two cycles.
2015-08-13 01:06:56 +01:00
Thomas Harte
d19f8ed507
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.
2015-08-05 23:36:04 -04:00
Thomas Harte
fd36f13baf
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).
2015-08-05 21:45:47 -04:00
Thomas Harte
67e82c713f
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
Thomas Harte

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

Thomas Harte
5313b48ebd
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.
2015-08-02 20:32:18 -04:00
Thomas Harte
6e52e5df1c
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.
2015-08-02 14:32:29 -04:00
Thomas Harte
3ab6585789
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.
2015-08-02 14:25:21 -04:00

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

Thomas Harte
a5d66e9dd6
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.
