This change may end up being a bit slower on some systems, as the SDL backend will now render its content to two, new, SDL_Surfaces: one of which is in the guest OS' resolution, the other of which is application defined.
SDL2's SDL_Render API is used, which exposes some rudimentary elements of GPU + texture-based programming. Basilisk II now maintains a single 'SDL_Texture' object, which is an SDL representation of a GPU texture. The 'outer' surface will be used to update this texture, as requests to redraw are made.
TODO: look into removing the 'outer' SDL surface, and see if we can just copy the 'inner' surface to the SDL_Texture.
TODO: the entire SDL_Texture is updated, any time a request is made to draw. Look into minimizing this a bit.
SDL 1.x is used for display, rather than Mac OS X specific backend. If time permits, I'll port it to SDL 2, if only to reduce Basilisk's overall code foot-print.
Lots of features are apt to be disabled, as many 'dummy' backends were used.
Video-depths other than 1-bit or 32-bit are untested, and in some cases (4-bit, at least) are currently non-functional. This is due to a partial re-write of the SDL backend's blitting code, which was non-functional when low-bit-depths were used.
The SDL backend was also rewired, on OSX, to not attempt to align the display buffer on page-boundaries. So far, this doesn't seem to cause any notice-able problems, however, that's only using limited knowledge and testing (System 7.5.x does boot and display at 640x480, though!). The original display-buffer allocation code was failing to run, in some cases.
Preferences are, on Mac, currently hardcoded to be accessed at /tmp/BasiliskII/BasiliskII_Prefs. The folder, "/tmp/BasiliskII/", may be a symbolic link to elsewhere, though.
This is useful for keeping the volume of SS/B2 separate from that of the host machine. For example, you can mute a game in SS, while still playing music on your host.
We want to have just one base driver that can handle both fullscreen and
windowed mode, so that we can easily switch between modes.
Create a virtual init() method to do construction, so we can move common code
from the derived classes into the base init().
Issue: https://github.com/cebix/macemu/issues/26
On non-Mac platforms, driver_fullscreen constructor sets up software cursor,
but switch_to_current_mode() ask for a hardware cursor, possibly due to a typo.
Neither one ends up being drawn, so the cursor goes invisible.
This change makes them agree to use a software cursor. We should eventually
move to just one place deciding which cursor to use, so they don't have to be
kept in sync.
Add bin/cue support. The following should work:
1) Basilisk and SheepShaver with sdl-audio and bincue on linux and os x
2) SheepShaver with bincue and core audio on os x
Fix for bug: SheepShaver compiled with VOSF off will not display
fullscreen on OS X. The VM boots, but the display is entirely black.
This was expected, I suppose, since video_refresh_dga() didn't
actually attempt to draw anything!
The patch fixes this. Notes:
* video_refresh_window() now takes an argument of type driver_base,
since nothing specific to driver_window was used
* video_refresh_dga() can now call video_refresh_window_static()
* update_display_static_bbox() now respects the destination having a
different bytes-per-row from the source
* fullscreen modes are now created for all depths
Here is a patch to allow compiling of SS and B2 with an SDL Framework. You can
get this by downloading from:
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.13.dmg
Here is how I tested on an intel 32-bit mac with Mac OS X 10.5.6:
SS ./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --enable-sdl-framework --enable-sdl-framework-prefix=/Users/mzs/Library/Frameworks --enable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real
--without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x
SS /autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --disable-sdl-framework --disable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --with-x
B2 ./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --enable-sdl-framework --enable-sdl-framework-prefix=/Users/mzs/Library/Frameworks --enable-sdl-video --enable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x --enable-jit-compiler
B2 ./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --disable-sdl-framework --disable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --with-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --with-x --enable-jit-compiler
(esound does not really work on mac, it needs some better coreaudio patches.)
configure.ac for SS has two little additional fixes so that the Cocoa prefs gui
does not get built if you are building for X11 and so that you can use esd, sdl,
or coreaudio for sound.
This patch helps to keep the audio from breaking-up on slow machines when using
SDL audio. On those slow machines you do still get the break-up every so often
but the sound tends not to break-up nearly as often. It is much better on the
ears. Notably often the system beeps do not have a pause in them.
Slow machine is <= 1 GHz G4.
This fixes the mapping of SDL mouse-button numbers to MacOS/ADB mouse-button numbers,
to correct the reversal of the middle and right buttons. Most useful in conjunction
with a multi-button mouse enabler such as TheMouse2B:
http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cfg/themouse-2b-11.hqx
... which can turn a right-click into a control-click.
Software cursor mode is now supported, although currently the existing hardware
cursor mode is used whenever possible. (Software mode will be used if you are
running with a recent version of SDL's Quartz video driver, since a bug in SDL
1.2.11 and later prevents the hardware cursor from working properly with that
driver.)
In hardware cursor mode, the hot-spot is now determined heuristically. Formerly
it could not be determined and was always (1,1), an annoyance for many cursors
other than the arrow.
In hardware cursor mode, the cursor will now be hidden when requested by the
emulated OS (such as when you are typing in a text field).
In hardware cursor mode, some cursor image formats that the code does not handle
correctly will now be rejected, causing the emulated OS to revert temporarily to
software cursor mode. Formerly you would just end up with random garbage for a
cursor. This typically happened for grayscale or color cursors; rejecting images
with rowBytes != 2 eliminates the worst cases.
SheepShaver window a number of times (somewhere around 30 or 40 times will do
it), SheepShaver appears to lock up. This occurs because SDL posts application
activate/deactivate events to its event queue when the mouse moves in/out of the
SheepShaver window, but these events are never consumed, and as a result, the
event queue fills up. Thereafter, no new events can be posted, and user inputs
are ignored. The fix is to consume SDL_ACTIVEEVENT in handle_events().
This reduces the number of Screen_fault_handler() calls by 80%. i.e. VOSF
is now viable on this turtle MacOS X. Besides, since there is no buffer
comparison, idle sleep can really be effective. SheepShaver in idle mode
on my PBG4 now goes below 8% of CPU resources instead of 70-80% with
bounding boxes based video refreshes.
Caveat: if your program doesn't use standard MacOS routines that call NQD,
then you can expect slower (visual) performance. However, I do think the
new default behavior (VOSF+NQD) is the most common.
This does not improve graphics performance but helps CPU because it reduces
the number of bytes transfered to actual screen. I saw an improvement by up
to 26% in frameskip 4 800x600x16 but also a hit by 3% with frameskip 0.
The next step is to use NQD bounding boxes to help detecting dirty areas.
So far, this is the best I can do without VOSF working (MacOS X performance
bugs -- pitifully slow Mach syscalls)
- Properly handle migration from "screenmodes" and "windowmodes" to "screen"
- Fix has_mode() logic to really test for actual mode availability. i.e.
no longer start in large screen mode if user specified a max size.
interrupt in one_tick() if no pthreads at all are used, i.e. ether_dummy
is effective in that case. Otherwise, don't trigger ethernet again if
pthreads are available (and ether_unix) and cpu emul services are active.
can have a chance in case VOSF is not profitable (on video mode switches)
Improve video mode switches in SheepShaver/SDL, aka avoid crashes on win32
as there is apparently no thread canceleation algorithm used in SDL/win32.
