Hard-coded to 40 columns of black and white, here's some text, at least.

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.

Output, at last! Though sync is clearly way off.

Some output! Showing that three lines of solid sync isn't smart. But here it is.

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 is intended to be enough to start producing something of an output. But something's obviously still broken.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Added a very basic attempt at shadow mask emulation.

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.

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.

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.

Not that it makes a lot of difference, there being no names to mangle, but moved the closing #ifdef __cplusplus to the idiomatic place.

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.

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.
