This endeavours to move everything into the CRT class except the final version of shader building.

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.
2016-01-29 21:14:13 -05:00

Disabled my various bits of rate interchange debugging; improved test for when to call update_display due to a RAM write.

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.

Some data is marginally reaching the CPU from the tape.

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

Tightened to provide lower latency audio, hopefully.

Gave the audio queue something a lot like a spin lock on waiting to pipe out audio.

Wired up enough such that some basic attempt at parsing a UEF occurs.`

Statred working on support for at least the most fundamental file format.

Switched to being explicitly careful about not wrapping around and stomping on data not yet output.

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

Here, at last, is _some_ audio output, at least.
2016-01-14 20:33:22 -05:00

Closed the loop such that audio manages to bubble up into Objective-C.

Edging towards audio output; the speaker is given appropriate input and output rates, and then updated with current divider and enabled/disabled status.
2016-01-13 21:03:43 -05:00
Thomas Harte
d28abdc037
Made an attempt at correct timing, adding support for additional paged ROMs, added file association for .rom.
2016-01-12 22:34:26 -05:00

Tidied a little, started working towards supporting speaker output.

Thomas Harte
3437781abd
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
Thomas Harte
75d6ec354b
Added some very basic filtering in RGB mode.
2016-01-12 16:27:09 -05:00

Added F12 as break.

2016-01-09 21:53:33 -05:00
Thomas Harte

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.

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
43ab8bbad5
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

Added document XIB.

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

Switched to nicer nullable/nonnull syntax.

The standard Xcode versioning updates. Nothing of substance.
2016-01-02 17:57:23 -05:00
Thomas Harte

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

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.
2015-09-05 17:21:36 -04:00

Disabled multisampling unless and until I can get the per-pixel cost down.
2015-09-05 17:21:16 -04:00

Fixed YIQ conversion and made sampling pattern slightly more rational.

Thomas Harte
80cf3d9301
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
Thomas Harte
11acf3f2d3
Made some further minor attempted improvements.

Attempted very basic vectorisation, plus some minor other clean-ups.
2015-09-02 17:17:22 -04:00

Added a note about horribleness to the source. You never know who's looking.

cb6e6e8acb
It's the worst fragment shader you'll ever see. The worst. But this attempts NTSC composite video emulation, artefacts included.
2015-09-01 22:36:45 -04:00

Fine. I'll accept 'bin' files if I must.

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.
2015-08-18 21:13:54 -04:00

Added fire and reset inputs.

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.

Removed redundant GL call.

Got rid of the thread hopping in order to redraw the GL view. Which appears to help significantly with total application cost.
2015-08-13 22:01:25 +01:00

Added test for NOP, discovering the undocumented ones to be the incorrect length.
2015-08-13 07:32:50 +01:00

Fixed collision tests, added a few more timing tests.
2015-08-13 03:33:45 +01:00
Thomas Harte
dd0f17130a
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
975836c30f
Added a quick snippet test, discovering that I've cut a cycle from read/modify/writes.
2015-08-13 02:18:41 +01:00
Thomas Harte
503d684af0
Added a couple of timing tests, both of which seem to pass for now.
2015-08-13 01:55:23 +01:00
Thomas Harte
e8f70398c1
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.
2015-08-13 00:51:06 +01:00
Thomas Harte
0e52b7365e
Removed redundant code.

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.
2015-08-05 20:55:27 -04:00
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
Thomas Harte

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.
2015-07-31 18:04:33 -04:00
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.
2015-07-31 17:47:10 -04:00
Thomas Harte
53dd5c8f16
Trying to fix my RDY line emulation. Switched to PAL timings, at least temporarily, since it's starting to make a difference.

A tweak here, a tweak there, to help with debugging.
2015-07-30 21:29:40 -04:00

Converted remaining spaces to real tabs.

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.
2015-07-30 17:16:49 -04:00
Thomas Harte

It appears ARC extends its reach into C++ nowadays. Fixed additional retain cycle.
2015-07-27 21:17:53 -04:00
Thomas Harte
3c25ead1f3
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.

This now uploads only a portion of the source buffer if possible. Which is usually possible.

More tweaks to provide a stable image, at least for the time being.

Enabled multisampling. This is hardly an expensive use case.

Thomas Harte

Implemented a virtual skew control, hard coded to what is conveniently exactly the right number.
2015-07-27 16:44:47 -04:00
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.
2015-07-27 00:28:47 -04:00
