- Added an extra blank line after info display in CModel3.
- Cleaned up comments in Main.cpp.
- More document updates. Fixed '-no-music'->'-no-dsb', 'EmulateMusic'->'EmulateDSB'.
- Wrapped rows that exceed 80 columns in Supermodel.ini.
- Added some member and function comments to a few header files.
- Changed version string to 0.2a-RC2 in anticipation of sending another release candidate build to testers.
- Added GAME_INPUT_RALLY flag to dirtdvlsa, eca, and ecax.
- Configuration dialog no longer refers to Sega Rally 2 and Dirt Devils; instead, "Miscellaneous Driving Game Buttons"
- More additions to README.txt.
- altered PrintSettings to output all settings for attached controls, even if no different to defaults
- added option on calibration screen to detect an axis simply by moving the axis
- corrected axis identification code as was not enumerating axes properly in all cases
- added fallback which just adds all axes if there is any hint of an irregularity whilst enumerating axes
- added methods to attach/debug debugger.
- added instruction hook & callback to m68kconf.h and added hooks into CMusashi68KDebug to allow debugger to control execution.
- added methods to allow reading/writing of 68K registers (for all registers and for a given context, rather than just current one).
- added methods to attach/detach debugger.
- added hooks into CZ80Debug to allow debugger to control execution.
- added methods to allow reading/writing of Z80 registers.
- updated debugger classes to compile again with all recent changes.
- improved debugger classes to allow them to work in multi-threaded emulator and be able to handle CPUs on different threads.
- added debug classes for new Z80 and Musashi 68K CPU cores.
- added logging of cycle counts and frames.
- moved all Supermodel specific code & configuration to CSupermodelDebugger.
- added all Model 3 CPUs (PPC, sound board 68K, DSB 68K/Z80 and drive board Z80) to CSupermodelDebugger.
- added persisting of custom entry points in saved debug state to CCodeAnalyser.
- fixed bug with listing I/O ports in CConsoleDebugger and added displaying of cycle counts and CPU speeds when listing CPUs.
- Joystick axis saturation values can now range from 1-200 rather than just 1-100. This lets the user make axis less sensitive, if required.
- Added joystick axes calibration menus to -config-inputs.
- Moved DirectInput & XInput feedback settings out of CDirectInputSystem and into COSDConfig (so that they can be configured per-game).
- DirectInput mode now only grabs background access to keyboard, mice and joystick when configuring inputs, otherwise it only grabs foreground access.
Other changes:
- Main.cpp now ensures all Model3 threads are paused before shutting down.
- added methods to CModel3 to access sound board and drive board
- added methods to CSoundBoard to access 68K and DSB (if attached)
- added methods to CDSB1 & CDSB2 to access Z80 & 68K respectively
- small code tweak in DriveBoard.cpp
- comment tweaks in Model3.h & Model3.cpp
- Changed gear shifting behavior: neutral gear has its own button now.
- Removed SUPERMODEL_SOUND.
- DirectInput is the default input system for Windows now.
- Multi-threading is on by default, replaced -multi-threaded w/ -no-threads.
- Made crosshairs larger and more visible.
- Added Nik to co-author list and began updating file copyright notices.
- Fixed Virtua Striker 2 input names (player 2 inputs end with the number 2 instead of 1).
- Added documentation to a Docs/ subdirectory.
- Exported all default input configurations to Supermodel.ini and added that to the repository. Internally, Supermodel initializes all controls to "NONE" now.
- added notification message if drive board is disabled when loading incompatible save state
- removed some superflous print statements, but have kept in printing out of force feedback commands for now (which have also been made more visual)
- made sure that feedback state is reset in SendStopAll()
- audio buffer is now kept as full as possible with new audio buffering method rather than just half full like before (this is okay now that buffer overruns have been eliminated)
- altered minimum size of audio buffer so that audio still works with a zero latency setting (obviously there will still be some latency)
- fixed bug in SendConstantForce which was sending incorrect values at times
- removed friction effect for now, until can determine its exact command seq
- added checking of compatibility of saved state and temporary disabling of drive board if not compatible
- Added volume controls to UI.
- Renamed "Sega Rally Controls" to "Sega Rally/Dirt Devils Controls" (even though Dirt Devils has no hand brake).
- Hooked up gear shifting and view change for Dirt Devils.
- Removed debug printf()'s from DSB.cpp.
- Removed debug printf() from Real3D.cpp.
- Disabled assertions in SCSPDSP.cpp.
- Converted all error messages in Amp library to Supermodel format.
- Added parameters for DirectInput and XInput force feedback effects (although still need to add code to persist them in configuration file)
- Added extra friction feedback effect and tidied up existing effects
- Fixed an MPEG related crash when loading save states. If usingLoopStart is 0, it is important not to call MPEG_SetLoop()!
- -input-system is working again.
- Changed the format of some messages here and there.
- Moved Logger.h to OSD/, cleaned up comments.
- Command line and config file parsing have been rewritten.
- Began replacing C standard library headers with C++ versions (eg. stdio.h -> cstdio). I think I got most of them, but not all.
- INI file changes: added support for opening and creating files, for a default section alias, and for sections appearing multiple times in the section list (may prevent some bugs).
- CSoundBoard is not derived from CBus.
- Optimized sound board memory handlers (now using switch statements).
- Added DSB emulation (based on R. Belmont's M1 source code).
- Improved ROM loading: only unique ROMs (those not shared amongst games) are used to identify games. The ROM loader will no longer get confused as easily.
- General cleanup here and there, removed unused Render.h file.
- Model LUT now capable of differentiating between texture offset states (linked list of different texture offsets for each model address).
- Removed texOffset uniform attribute from vertex shader -- no longer needed.
- Moved CPU debugger for Turbo68K into separate class CTurbo68KDebug and made C68KDebug base class for later addition of Musashi core
- Fixed typos in ConsoleDebugger
- Added object interface CThread for OSD threading and synchronization, together with SDL implementation
- Added multi-threading to CModel3 so that separate CPUs (PPC of main board, 68K of sound board and Z80 of drive board) can be run in separate threads if requested to improve performance on multi-core PCs
- Added -multi-threaded command line option (default is to run single-threaded still)
- Implemented bank switching for sample ROMs. It is probably incorrect because there is still 2MB of unaccounted-for space.
- Added a few important TO-DO notes.
- Added PPC/68K communication and automatically generated sound IRQs. Sound is now mostly working :)
- Increased SCSP MIDI buffer length to 128 to simulate a large FIFO for PPC->68K commands.
- Added sound ROMs to those games which have 8 MB of sample ROMs.
- Added a 68K interface, CPU/68K/M68K.*.
- Moved Turbo68K source files to CPU/68K/Turbo68K. It is no longer used but is being retained in the source tree for now. The LSR instruction has not been fixed in this update.
- Changed sound board code to use the new 68K interface (and hence, Musashi).
- Changed version string from 0.2-WIP to 0.2a-WIP. This is still an alpha version.
- Above changes have broken the 68K debugger.
- Added CPrintBreakpoint
Changes to console-based debugger:
- Added new scp command and tidied up some other commands
- Tidied up event logging
- Sorted commands into common groups
- Added ReadMe.txt help file
- fixed step-out to work properly
- added ability to enable/disable debugging of individual CPUs
Changes to console-based debugger:
- tidied up syntax and split some commands out to make easier to use
- implemented missing commands (loademustate, saveemustate, resetemu, configinput, configallinputs, help)
- added new commands (nextframe, enablecpu, disablecpu, removeallcomments)
- added ability to redirect command output to a file
- added code to create debugger object and attach it to system,
- added new command lines options -enter-debugger and -disable-debugger,
- added new UI input to halt execution and enter debugger (default Alt+B),
- added new CLogger class to route all output via debugger if required.
- Added ability to configure axis min, centre and max values in INI file. This allows some types of steering wheel pedals that use an inverted value range to work properly with the emulator.
- Modified CINIFile to read and write signed numbers (needed for above change).
- Added check at configuration start for "bad" input sources such as axes that are wrongly calibrated or buttons that are always triggering a value. Otherwise they cause the configuration loop to wait indefinitely for the axis or button to be released.
- Removed superfluous check for XInput devices when XInput is not enabled in CDirectInputSystem.
- Improved force beedback code in CDirectInputSystem and also added the extra feedback effects needed so far for drive board emulation.
- Fixed bug with mapping of multiple assignments.
- Added new ! operator for input mappings, which lets the user specify that an input must not be active.
- Added option to print info about input system (such as settings and detected keyboards, mice and joysticks) during input configuration.
- Added new trigger input for lightgun games with a configurable option to automatically pull trigger when offscreen input is activated (this makes playing with the mouse easier as the gun can be reloaded with single mouse button, rather than having to press both
buttons at the same time).
- Added -xinput command line option that switches to using XInput API rather than DirectInput for XBox 360 controllers (this allows the XBox 360 controller's two triggers to be read independently which works better for driving games when they are mapped to accele
rator and brake).
- Added initial version of force feedback implementation to DirectInputSystem (this still needs work).
