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.

Pulled a few things out as constants, zoomed in a little. Still in a 4:3 window though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

'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.

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