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.

Made an attempt to extract and consolidate the logic behind the intermediate shaders.

Made a decision to clean up by creating per-shader classes. Well, more or less. First thing to be factored out: the output shader.

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

Attempted to normalise some style decisions.`

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

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

Started reviving the Atari 2600 emulation. Put new startup sequence into place.

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

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

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.

2016-04-11 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.

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.

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

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

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.

A shortcut here and a shortcut there; this allows me at least to determine whether use of a PBO gains anything.

Made an attempt to reestablish the Atari 2600 output connection despite various changes (TODO: generalise that stuff), and to start creating the composite shader.

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

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

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.

de7218cdf0
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.

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
Thomas Harte
90eef1df74
Tightened to provide lower latency audio, hopefully.
2016-01-18 20:01:06 -06:00
Thomas Harte

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
