2021-06-27Enable big-endian devices: gc/wiiDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch adds big-endian compatibility in gpsp (in general but only for the interpreter). There's no performance hit for little-endian platforms (should be a no-op) and only add a small overhead in memory accesses for big-endian platforms. Most memory accesses are wrapped with a byteswap instruction and I/O reg accesses are also rewired for proper access (using macros). Video rendering has been fixed to also do byteswaps but there's a couple of games and rendering modes that still seem broken (but they amount to less than 20 games in my tests with 1K ROMs). This also adds build rules and CI for NGC/WII/WIIU (untested)

2021-03-23Make ewram memory linealDavid Guillen Fandos
This saves a few cycles in MIPS and simplifies a bit the core. Removed the write map, only affects interpreter performance very minimally. Rewired ARM and x86 handlers to support direct access to I/EWRAM (and VRAM on ARM) to compensate. Overall performance is slightly better but code is cleaner and allows for further improvements in the dynarecs.
2021-03-22Adding Normmatt's BIOS as a built-in BIOSDavid Guillen Fandos
Add options to select whether to boot from BIOS (default is no, as it is now) and whether to use the original bios or the builtin one (default is auto, which tries to use the official but falls back to the builtin if not found).
2021-03-17Remove BIOS reserved translation areaDavid Guillen Fandos
This is not really necessary since it can share area with ROM. Performance impact should be very minimal (haven't noticed it myself) and could be compensated (even by a positive offset) if we bump the ROM cache area size. Tested with several dynarecs.
2021-03-16Simplify open load handling for MIPS and fix other archesDavid Guillen Fandos
Also rewrite a bit memory handlers for smaller functions.
2021-03-16Rewrite of the MIPS dynarec stubsDavid Guillen Fandos
This allows us to emit the handlers directly in a more efficient manner. At the same time it allows for an easy fix to emit PIC code, which is necessary for libretro. This also enables more platform specific optimizations and variations, perhaps even run-time multiplatform support.
2021-03-08Remove libcoDavid Guillen Fandos
This removes libco and all the usages of it (+pthreads). Rewired all dynarecs and interpreter to return after every frame so that libretro can process events. This required to make dynarec re-entrant. Dynarecs were updated to check for new frame on every update (IRQ, cycle exhaustion, I/O write, etc). The performance impact of doing so should be minimal (and definitely outweight the libco gains). While at it, fixed small issues to get a bit more perf: arm dynarec was not idling correctly, mips was using stack when not needed, etc. Tested on PSP (mips), OGA (armv7), Linux (x86 and interpreter). Not tested on Android though.
2021-03-06Fix x86 dynarec, broken by d10c4afeDavid Guillen Fandos
The dynarec expects function args to be located in registers instead of the stack, which is not the default calling convetion in GCC/clang.

2020-09-05Add optional battery save using libretro save apinegativeExponent
- Adds core option to allow battery saves using the libretro api (retro_get_memory_data/size) - Initial save size set at 128KB and actual size is automatically determined internally by gba. - This will always assume that a save file is supported since save size or type cannot be determined until gba tries to write to backup memory. - A 128KB block of memory is used as buffer, similar method to VBA Next/Beetle GBA workarounds.
