Increased buffering range of audio as a quick fix for now. Basically means: increased latency as a short-term fix.
2016-06-14 07:31:47 -04:00

Extended to allow floating-point sampling rates. Which makes sense.

Minor cleaning, implemented clearAllKeys.
2016-06-12 10:38:21 -04:00

Expanded mapped keys just a tiny bit further.
2016-06-12 10:35:47 -04:00

Added enough to load a PRG as a ROM.
2016-06-11 14:00:12 -04:00

Minor clean-ups.
2016-06-11 13:51:04 -04:00

Improved key map. Possibly enough to type some basic BASIC?
2016-06-11 13:19:59 -04:00
Thomas Harte
d1731b1d26
Hacked my 6522 to work. Mistake is in not returning output as input when appropriate — i.e. that I'm ignoring data direction. Also fixed K and L keys.
2016-06-11 13:06:01 -04:00
Thomas Harte
271de23ee6
Ran on in and introduced a bunch more keys, hopefully to help to diagnose.
2016-06-11 12:26:19 -04:00
Thomas Harte
d7c1f5b18a
Made an attempt at hooking up the '2' and '4' keys. A mostly unsuccessful attempt. 2 does nothing, 4 clears the screen.
2016-06-11 11:50:37 -04:00
Thomas Harte
6522530e1c
Actually, I'm dithering over whether the 6522 should be an ordinary class or a curiously-recurring template. But it'll need a file, definitely.
2016-06-06 21:56:02 -04:00
Thomas Harte
0b221e773f
Fixed ROM naming and sizes, ensured machines without sound outputs don't end up with an audio queue.
2016-06-05 11:20:05 -04:00
Thomas Harte
f922d38ed2
The Vic now captures the ROMs sent to it and has just enough infrastructure to get to a black screen. Progress!
2016-06-05 10:51:07 -04:00
Thomas Harte
12243c40ad
Kicking the ball a little further down the road, ROMs and PRGs now reach the actual emulated machine.
2016-06-05 09:06:59 -04:00
Thomas Harte
b29b2a5d08
Added forwarding of a loaded PRG from the Swift document to the wrapper. So I think that possibly completes the Swift side of things?
2016-06-05 09:01:32 -04:00
Thomas Harte
8052ce9223
System ROMs are now supplied to the Vic-20 wrapper, though they stop there. I also factored key forwarding out of the ElectronDocument and into the superclass, depending upon the child conforming to CSKeyboardMachine.
2016-06-05 08:53:05 -04:00
Thomas Harte
363e14a92f
Reorganised system ROMs out of the Mac-specific folder, adjusted Mac code to expect to find them organised hierarchically (as how many os.roms am I going to have?) and added readme files to explain what's missing from the Git repository.
2016-06-05 08:33:01 -04:00
Thomas Harte
4c33517228
Added ROMs to the project and ensured they don't get uploaded.

A CRT is still absent but this moves the ball back into the C++ side's court.
2016-06-04 22:00:50 -04:00

06e1db8c85
This now gets as far as missing selectors.
2016-06-04 21:49:03 -04:00

Added XIB file.
2016-06-04 21:45:39 -04:00

Trimmed and reordered just a little.
2016-06-04 16:02:16 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Increased parallelism, allowing a simplification in the GL view.
2016-06-02 22:29:09 -04:00
Thomas Harte
e3b95b8d2b
Back to asynchronous updates and drawing, to try to improve guarantees on audio latency; experimenting with whether other parts of the approach are fundamentally flawed; added a broad-phase for scheduled updates on the 2600.
2016-06-02 21:22:55 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Issues appear to be around timing generally. Working on it.
2016-06-02 20:15:48 -04:00
Thomas Harte
253e5a4203
With no regard to performance whatsoever, endeavoured to bring sound to the 2600. It's very scratchy, so something is wrong.
2016-06-02 19:50:16 -04:00
Thomas Harte
8623dc2833
Consolidated a little more within the common code, adding sampling rate selection based on querying the machine.
2016-06-01 19:04:07 -04:00
Thomas Harte
50543e9676
Minor factoring up: the audio queue is now pushed universally by MachineDocument.

Started trying to clean up and consolidate on the Swift side of things but time is up for the day.

Thomas Harte
5c4f35e13f
Finally started on generalising the C++ stuff so as to be able to be able to get a working audio binding on the OS-specific side without further repetition by factoring an appropriate protocol out from the Electron and sketching out the correct speaker class for the Atari. Added a method to ask it what a good output frequency would be.
2016-05-31 21:23:44 -04:00
Thomas Harte
40600b4bcb
Made sprite placement consistent at least. Not necessarily yet correct.
2016-05-18 22:07:24 -04:00

Fixed error that would prevent an interrupting frame from ever being drawn.

Fixed those issues breaking GL state, I hope.
2016-05-01 16:17:52 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Made an attempt to extract and consolidate the logic behind the intermediate shaders.
2016-04-28 21:04:59 -04:00
Thomas Harte
496d979aca
Made a decision to clean up by creating per-shader classes. Well, more or less. First thing to be factored out: the output shader.
2016-04-27 22:29:54 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Experimental: let's try accumulating history directly in the framebuffer.

Attempted to normalise some style decisions.`

Thomas Harte
884755c560
Ensured the GL context is available when switching Atari 2600 output, and that it locks the output.
2016-04-24 20:56:21 -04:00
Thomas Harte
d221c712b0
Ensured GL context is active when destructing CRTOpenGL.

Extended window for picking output frequency, attempted to consolidate CRT OpenGL timing uniforms for approprate resetting.
2016-04-24 18:58:31 -04:00
Thomas Harte
082003ed0a
Reintroduced the CRT delegate and the 2600's automatic region switching. Albeit that the CRT itself doesn't adjust properly to new timings yet.
2016-04-24 18:36:22 -04:00
Thomas Harte
80a3169674
Started reviving the Atari 2600 emulation. Put new startup sequence into place.
2016-04-24 06:56:08 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Made further attempts to improve synchronisation and interrelated timing between display and machine update.
2016-04-20 22:35:46 -04:00
Thomas Harte
7aa87723a9
Added: key states are all cleared if the window loses focus. Which resolves sticky key issues. Allowing me just to use command+option+O for options and map both command and option as FUNC.
2016-04-19 21:29:10 -04:00
Thomas Harte
d5bac2f04f
Spotted error was in texture target all along. This now gets as far as showing something a lot like the correct display, but precision is way off. Way off.
2016-04-18 21:32:48 -04:00
Thomas Harte
86626bbd72
Switched key that maps to FUNC from command to option. Logic is that command may frequently be used for performing an action which changes the key window, in which case we won't realise if it is released.
2016-04-18 19:20:26 -04:00
Thomas Harte
f89308e913
Set the 'options' windows to hide on application deactivation so that they don't cluelessly sit on top of the rest of the system.
2016-04-18 19:14:58 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Fixed mismatch in television/monitor selection, ticked view for drawing concurrently, since it can, removed stray space.
2016-04-18 19:01:15 -04:00

Output selection now takes effect. So I can stop accidentally committing changes back and forth.
2016-04-18 08:27:58 -04:00
Thomas Harte
94f148e212
Wired in options, at least getting as far as the Objective-C bridge. Then fast loading makes it to the emulated machine, display output type doesn't.
2016-04-18 08:21:00 -04:00
Thomas Harte
6158275ea7
Started adding an options panel.

Re-enabled working video output for the Electron for the day and consolidated the rough metric I'm using to pick a number of taps for the audio filter.
2016-04-17 20:43:20 -04:00
Thomas Harte
104f44f27f
Attempted to improve deinterlacing, gave the CRT full control over blend mode, switched back to 2000000Mhz audio.

Thomas Harte
2cc72169ff
Ensured machines can nominate their own aspect ratio windows. Switched to 11/10 for the Electron.
2016-04-11 23:12:56 -04:00
Thomas Harte
7276a06cc0
Added a helper to calculate a visible rect based on output timings, used it to scale the Electron output up to the full window size.
2016-04-11 21:47:23 -04:00
Thomas Harte
e617bd2bb3
Turned audio quality up to the maximum, at least for now.
2016-04-06 21:12:22 -04:00

Switched away from tracking absolute time to tracking relative.

Of course, I want min. Not max.

The penny has finally dropped that I can drive the CPU stuff in a manner completely decoupled from the GPU stuff. For much improved parallelisation.
2016-04-06 19:34:34 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Thomas Harte
3038704977
Attempted to introduce a lowpass filter to the graphics output, reverted 6502 optimisations as seemingly not working.

Thomas Harte

Switched symbols and updated all-RAM 6502 in order to fix unit test target.
2016-03-20 22:48:56 -04:00
Thomas Harte
902017a962
Fixes: drop any processing backlog, try not to allow an Electron document to close mid-draw, perform a frame grab even if the emulated machine is over-processing, really really don't create a CRT until it's safe.
2016-03-20 18:42:37 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Switched to two-phase setup to deal with OpenGL scheduling.

Fixed: of course I can't rely on the pointer to CVTimeStamp not becoming dangling during a queue jump.
2016-03-19 23:02:42 -04:00

Made sure GL context isn't activated until it's locked.
2016-03-19 22:54:56 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Added the simplest mechanism to decouple emulation from the display link queue.
2016-03-19 22:53:37 -04:00
Thomas Harte
9da7716c72
Attempted to simplify threading, thereby allowing machines to be constructed within a valid GL context, and started adding appropriate GL syncs. Which all oddly drops everything to a negligible FPS. Investigation will follow.
2016-03-19 22:46:17 -04:00
Thomas Harte
4ac1f959e9
A shortcut here and a shortcut there; this allows me at least to determine whether use of a PBO gains anything.

Completed FIR filter based audio output.

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
41c09f8c3f
Renamed CSCathodeRayView to CSOpenGLView as it no longer has any CRT-related responsibilities. It just does the GL and manages a serial dispatch queue.
2016-03-05 14:45:09 -05:00
Thomas Harte

Requested multisampling, if available, rather than supersampling.

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
eeb0e134fd
Started the transition towards a more natural collection of rolling buffers, with phosphor decay in mind.

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.

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.

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.
2016-01-20 21:55:38 -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.

Thomas Harte
956b90e203
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.
2016-01-18 23:55:52 -05:00
Thomas Harte

Tightened to provide lower latency audio, hopefully.
2016-01-18 20:01:06 -06:00
Thomas Harte

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.
2016-01-12 16:42:16 -05:00

Added some very basic filtering in RGB mode.

Some output! Showing that three lines of solid sync isn't smart. But here it is.
2016-01-09 21:48:53 -05:00
Thomas Harte

Made an attempt to get RGB output mode up and running, and showing at least a box where pixels would be.
2016-01-09 21:32:56 -05:00
Thomas Harte
a900bfed65
Fixed to ensure that frame rendering wraps around, and to properly connect the Electron to its view. Now I need a working pixel shader.
2016-01-09 20:34:22 -05:00
Thomas Harte

This at least now connects up a CRT, though it never talks to it.
2016-01-07 22:26:49 -05:00
Thomas Harte
47a7654c00
Added just enough that this is probably a successful boot. I guess I'm going to need to get invested in graphics next? Hmmm.
2016-01-07 21:01:13 -05:00
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
Thomas Harte

Slightly simplified Swift usage.

616dc0b57c
Okay, so this is the absolute bare minimum about of refactoring and wiring necessary to get the [unimplemented] Electron machine pumping.
2016-01-04 23:40:43 -05:00
Thomas Harte

Okay, so then here's a first shot at the Objective-C -> C++ bridge for the Electron.
2016-01-04 23:16:37 -05:00
Thomas Harte
ab45c1d530
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.
2016-01-04 23:12:47 -05:00

Thomas Harte
aa0714fe27
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

Very, _very_ minor: switched to normal C++ constructor syntax for simple variable initialisation.
2015-12-06 16:53:37 -05:00

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.

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

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.

ac8fc9a1a0
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.

a62c7f5c56
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.
2015-08-13 02:58:39 +01:00
Thomas Harte

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
5644b3a1cc
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.
2015-08-02 13:48:35 -04:00
Thomas Harte
9c91f1a2eb
Added an attempt at NTSC/PAL autodetection, based on number of missed vertical syncs.

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.

Converted remaining spaces to real tabs.

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.

Implemented a virtual skew control, hard coded to what is conveniently exactly the right number.

Thomas Harte
caffe56a2d
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.

Thomas Harte
cd0a62d21e
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
Thomas Harte
6252f6030f
Switched to idiomatic source name, ensured latest project name is in all appropriate header places, threw texture coordinates slightly into the shader mix.

Reshuffled to make the OpenGL view explicitly a conduit for CRT-style output, and to give it responsibility for frame drawing. Which is still an awkward thread hop for the time being, but I've yet to read up on the advocated approach to multithreading with an NSOpenGLView; it looked like special provisions were available.
2015-07-26 15:13:46 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Quickie: make sure the correct context is adjusted; use the intended convertPointToBacking:.

Thomas Harte
ecb2898bd5
The overall architecture of who has responsibility for what is now very askew but: the CRT now outputs a tightly packed short buffer, with the probable OpenGL destination in mind. So it's now all fixed arithmetic internally. CRTFrame is reduced to a plain C struct with the intention that the OpenGL view will take responsibility for it and stop doing the back-and-forth sprint on getting buffer data. The Atari 2600 now outputs explicit blanks rather than level blacks for its border, so that it's easier visually to debug the CRT in its form as far as it has currently progressed: to drawing lines where the cathode ray gun would run while outputting pixel. I note that I'm still not quite getting vertical sync right yet — I'm just accepting it anywhere in teh frame — but that should be an easy fix.

Ensured windows start and remain 4:3, made sure I request a GL 3.2 context and that an exception is raised if I call any old-fashioned GL functions.

A full communication pathway now leads to Atari2600.mm (for now) being in possession of a frame and receiving a command to draw, with a suitable OpenGL context being active and whatever is drawn subsequently appearing.

This then is what the serial dispatch queue and the triple buffer achieve together: I can post the runs over to the main thread for processing while emulation continues separately.

Reintroduced a console examination of the output runs being received after fixing a failure to complete or restart frames over in the CRT; weirdly it seems that sync is being obeyed but raster position is off. So work to do.

Introduced enough logic that the Atari 2600 is being run, at least. No output yet though because (i) it has no-one to send output to; and (ii) there's nobody that knows how to display output. Hmmm.
