* Video / FrameBase: move arch specific code to FrameBase.
* Video::Initialize & SetFrameBuffer.
Ensure initialization and SetBuffer can only happen in the right order.
* Video: move virtual functions to FrameBase.
With these changes all the virtual functions are in FrameBase and Video gets closer to be (only) the Apple ][ Video device.
* Move a few more functions from Video to FrameBase (snapshot related)
Now, the inclusion is one way with Video *not* including FrameBase.
* FrameBase::VideoRefreshScreen move Video related code to Video.
And only leave management to FrameBase.
* WinVideo: move some generic functions back to Video.
Introduce a new virtual function (VideoPresentScreen) to draw the video buffer to video memory.
* Move Win32Frame::VideoRedrawScreen() to FrameBase as it is generic.
. class hierarchy: WinVideo IS_A Video (ie. WinVideo is a subclass of Video)
. GetVideo() singleton instance of WinVideo in AppleWin.cpp, exposed via Interface.h
This is not complete as header files from Windows/.. are still included in:
Keyboard.cpp
SerialComms.cpp
Joystick.cpp
But probably these are arch specific and will have to be completely reimplemented elsewhere.
. Split AppleWin -> Core with the functionality really needed by the emulator.
. Split AppleWin -> Utilities for generic code not called by other emulator components.
. Split AppleWin -> CmdLine for the command line option parsing.
Switched Mockingboard/6522 Timer interrupts & Mousecard's VBlank interrupt to use synchronous events.
This is a linked-list of ordered timer-based event, where only the head of the list needs updating after every opcode.
Video mode: "Color (RGB Card/Monitor)"
. RGB HGR rendering (no half-dot-shift, no vertical blend)
. RGB DHGR rendering
- Color 140-mode is a real 140x192 mode with no color fringe (Video7 patent, shows that way on real hardware)
- Mixed mode: correct transition for Color 140-mode <-> B&W (validated on a real IIc adapter.)
. Complete Féline support (eg. 2 distinct greys)
. Fixed Video7 SL7 inverse text
. Fixed DHIRES mixed mode detection
. NB. Prince of Persia will switch to B&W (560-mode) when going from HGR back to DHGR (same on real hardware).
Video mode: "Color (Composite Idealized)"
. Previously this was "Color (RGB Monitor)" (and before that, the AppleWin 1.25 "Color (Standard)")
. Now this mode does not support the extra RGB cards' video modes
Support 2nd Disk][ in slot-5, via command line:
- -s5 diskii
- -s5d1 \<imagefile\>
- -s5d2 \<imagefile\>
NB. there's currently no Configuration UI support, except the Drive icons' tooltips show what's in slot-5 & slot-6 (for drive-n). So there's no way to eject the disks or insert new disks. The use-case I'm supporting it Wasteland which just has the 4 disks in the 4 drives.
Improved card management:
- Added `class Card` (in Card.h) which all other cards (that exist as classes) derive from (eg. LC,SSC,Mouse,Disk2).
- Added `class CardManager` (in CardManager.cpp\h) which now manages the 8 slots (and aux slot).
- Added `class Disk2CardManager` (in Disk2CardManager.cpp\h) which provides methods for operations that act on all Disk2 instances at the same time.
- Currently limited to just 1x SSC and 1x Mouse card (why would you need more?). This simplifies things, meaning there's no need to have dedicated SSCManager / MouseCardManager objects.
- Currently the 2nd Disk2 card can only be put into slot-5. This limitation is just due to the complexity of the Configuration UI. Having a more general drop-down per slot UI would remove this limitation.
. 6502 interrupt delays 1 opcode when interrupt occurs on last cycle of opcode (#724).
. Only 1-cycle delay for VF_TEXT & VF_MIXED mode changes (#656).
NB. Mad Effect 1 still has a bit of flicker on Space Invader (left edge)
This change does two things:
1. Updates the registry APIs to reduce the likelihood of uninitialized
variables.
The code wasn't always checking the return value of registry load operations.
In some cases, this led to uninitialized memory being used, and crashes could
result. For example, LoadConfiguration in Applewin.cpp was using an
uninitialized value for the computer type if no registry variable for the
"Apple 2 type" was set.
New registry reading methods and macros have also been introduced, allowing
default value fallbacks for the cases where a registry variable is not found.
This makes registry access simpler and safer when a default value is known in
advance.
The registry code's style has also been updated to conform with the rest of
the code base (tabs instead of spaces, naming conventions, etc.)
2. Introduces string safety improvements.
A number of code paths have been modified to use safe-string functions instead
of their unsafe counterparts (e.g., strcpy, sprintf). In the process, some
strings were converted from "char" to "TCHAR". This was done mostly for
consistency with the rest of the code-base.
- Added Configuration GUI to include checkbox for "50Hz"
- Implicitly use PAL or NTSC base 6502 clocks depending on video refresh rate
- Added new -50hz and -60hz command line switches
- Updated save-state for video refresh rate
1.28.8.0: Updated version & history.txt
Support the old AppleWin 1.25 vertical blending for hires:
- extended Config dialog to include 'Vertical Blend' checkbox
- Persist 'Video Styles' to Registry
- new cmd line options to select this style & also select 'RGB (Color Monitor)'
- code refactor to support enum VideoStyle_e (and replaced g_uHalfScanLines with a bit in g_eVideoStyles)
Bumped version to 1.28.2.0.
Supported modes selected via toggling AN3 and clocking in 80COL:
- 140 color mode (Apple calls this mode 2, Video7 calls this mode 0).
- mixed mode (Apple calls this mode 3, Video7 calls this mode 2).
- 560 mono mode (Apple calls this mode 1, Video7 calls this mode 3).
Save-state is also persists the extra state.
And there's a few corrections to APPLE2E.SYM for the 80STORE and 80COL I/O addresses.
Renamed this video mode to: "Color (RGB Monitor)"
Also renamed "Color (Monitor)" to "Color (NTSC Monitor)".
As for the colours: I've changed them from the original 1.25 colours. Instead I runtime-generate the colours from the NTSC code. See NTSC.cpp's GenerateBaseColors(). This shifts the same 4-bit pattern in, combining with NTSC color phase, until the colour stabilises. Then I average the next 4 RGB values to get the final colour. The reason for this is that we now have consistent colours between NTSC and this simplified rendering mode.
NB. The 2 greys (in GR,DGR,DHGR) are now the same RGB value.
