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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Still stepping slowly towards a working composite mode, switched the RGB sampling function to returning a vec4

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.

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.

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.

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

Made an attempt at correct timing, adding support for additional paged ROMs, added file association for .rom.

I'm not really sure what's going wrong with paging yet but this fixes the 0xc000 byte error.

This now correctly (I think) decodes information posted to the CRT. But doesn't yet post it correctly. I'm very close now, I hope.

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.

Thomas Harte

This is intended to be enough to start producing something of an output. But something's obviously still broken.
2016-01-09 20:26:40 -05:00

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.

This is the bare minimum to prove that the ROM is trying properly to boot.

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.

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.

'type' is out, at least for the time being.

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.

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.

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

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.

Made attempt not to touch the _collisions registers (which are instance variables) unless the local variables imply it's potentially necessary. So that's a broad phase on collisions, I guess.

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.
2015-08-13 18:59:23 +01:00

Fixed: paging is based directly on the access, independent of the read/write line (since it isn't actually exposed to catridges).

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

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).

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.

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.

Thomas Harte
1fa7a77793
Continuing in my attempts to figure out the complete absence of graphics from some games: there are 262 lines on an NTSC screen, not 256. Also ensured that the CRT has a little spare range at the edges so that its generated triangles don't wrap around just because of integer overflow.
2015-07-30 20:07:20 -04:00
Thomas Harte
98efae2536
Reintroduced emergency vertical sync — so that output occurs even when the emulation isn't catching syncs properly — and switched some spaces to tabs.
