2013-01-07Require auto_equivalent_skip to be greater than 0 before decrementing it if ↵Nebuleon Fumika
the code is drawing a frame early in automatic frame skip mode. Otherwise, overflow occurs, and we skip 4 billion images.
2013-01-07Revert "Add a bit that tolerates 1/16 latency per frame in automatic ↵Nebuleon Fumika
frameskip mode." This reverts commit d9b6322caafcbd355848a32acd8b8c0fa1746264.
2013-01-07Add a bit that tolerates 1/16 latency per frame in automatic frameskip mode.Nebuleon Fumika
Remove old automatic frameskip code.
2013-01-07Smooth out the automatic frame skipping such that it doesn't go from 1 FPS ↵Nebuleon Fumika
to 8 FPS right away and constantly. The equivalent frame skip will be 2, 3, 5 or 8 most of the time, depending on the game, and will vary a bit depending on rendering demands. For example, the frame skipping in Super Mario World is 3 on the map and in graphically simple levels, and 5 in complex levels.
2013-01-07Fix an off-by-one in the manual frameskip code. It would raise the sound ↵Nebuleon Fumika
speed by 25% if frame skip 3 (Show 1 in 4) rendered a frame early. Optimise the controller code. I don't expect to allow remapping any time soon, because the DS has buttons for every single SNES controller button and nothing more.
2013-01-07Add support for user-selected and automatic frame skipping. Add support for ↵Nebuleon Fumika
PAL timings (20 ms per frame). User-selected frameskip causes slowdowns if the game runs slower than the resulting frame rate, but synchronises correctly if the game runs faster. Automatic frame skipping is still the default. It now only skips up to 8 frames, but in some games still skips that entire 8 frames. What's needed is an algorithm that averages frame latencies over a few seconds and skips while the latency is LOWER than the average.
2013-01-06Language file overhaul, part 2. Remove unused messages in all languages.Nebuleon Fumika
It's actually reloading icons that takes so much time.
2013-01-06Language message overhaul, part 1.Nebuleon Fumika
Clean up the names of messages. Mark those that are unused as such in code comments. Raise the CPU level while loading a message file, because it really does take half a second to load a 16 KB file on the lowest frequency (what the eff?).
2013-01-05Release 1.14.Nebuleon Fumika
2013-01-05Sync ALL bits of the joypad again. This may make controls a bit slower to ↵Nebuleon Fumika
parse, but is required by Super Mario All-Stars at least.
2013-01-02Sleep when the lid is closed AND emulation is running. I don't know to what ↵Nebuleon Fumika
extent this will save on battery usage, though I do set the DSTWO's CPU to the lowest frequency while it sleeps.
2013-01-02Release 1.13.Nebuleon Fumika
2013-01-02Make Display Mode 4 an antialiased whole-screen mode.Nebuleon Fumika
* source/nds/displaymodes.cpp: Rewritten, assigned copyright to myself (GPLv2). * CATSFC/system/language.msg: Changed the English and French text for display modes.
2013-01-01Remove unused files. This reduces the plugin's size by 214 KB.Nebuleon Fumika
unicode.c, unicode.h, charsets.c, charsets.h: UTF-8 is universally used in CATSFC. Drop unused support for GBK/SJIS encodings.
2012-12-31Release 1.12.Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-30Bump to version 1.11 for another release.Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-30Return to 22050 Hz audio. 48000 Hz was just too much to handle, apparently.Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-28Keep the audio processing unit (APU) enabled even when the user disabled the ↵Nebuleon Fumika
audio for a game. This allows some games that synchronise on the APU's actions to continue working.
2012-12-27Accidentally committed the previous revision with sound functions emptied.Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-27Speed up rendering by an unknown amount.Nebuleon Fumika
gfx.cpp, others: Avoid always checking for Settings.SixteenBit if FOREVER_16_BIT is defined. port.h: Define FOREVER_16_BIT below PIXEL_FORMAT.
2012-12-26Add the update methods for the upper and lower screen into defines.Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-26Smoother sound. Raise the sound sampling frequency to 48000 Hz.Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-26Universally use update method 2 for the lower screen and 0 for the upper ↵Nebuleon Fumika
screen. Method 1 causes problems after about 15 minutes; despite the double-buffering, screen updates start to tear in the middle consistently.
2012-12-26Wait for keys to be released after the yes/no dialog for deleting saved ↵Nebuleon Fumika
states, instead of delaying.
2012-12-24Bump version number to 1.10 for the APU half-carry bug and optimisations.Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-24Bump to v. 1.09. Update the readme for cheats. Update the github link in ↵Nebuleon Fumika
source.txt.
2012-12-24Merge branch 'cheats'Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-24Make the GUI accept and save Snes9x's cheat file format. Improve support for ↵Nebuleon Fumika
saving the values present in ROM/RAM before a cheat is applied. Beautify the cheat selection menu, making it more tabular.
2012-12-23Correctly handle multi-part codes, for all cheat types (GG, PAR, GF).Nebuleon Fumika
They are currently loaded as multiple codes, however.
2012-12-23Screen tearing-related fix.Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-22Preliminary Snes9x-based cheat code support. Not tested, because the file ↵Nebuleon Fumika
selection interface freezes when it gets to the folder containing Mightymo's cheat files, whereas it did not do this before with the converted Mightymo cheats. (335 files -> 679, though.)
2012-12-21Eliminate the latency of button press recognition, which was bad enough to ↵Nebuleon Fumika
lose keys entirely sometimes, and could otherwise delay a button press or release by 200 ms. This was the entire reason I created the fork, and I finally did it! It syncs the controls every scanline of a frame, which costs about 60,000 MIPS instructions per frame to deal with. Luckily, the processor runs at 396 MHz, which means the cost of checking the controls is 1% of the CPU's power.
2012-12-21Looks like only having 'lang' crashes the options dialog. Restore the array ↵Nebuleon Fumika
of pointers.
2012-12-21Fix an off-by-one in the previous commit's touch handling code.Nebuleon Fumika
2012-12-20Simplify the GUI code.Nebuleon Fumika
* gui.c: Simplify row and column checks when handling touch events. * draw.c, err_msg: Use ConsoleInit instead of a custom drawstring function when an initialisation error that is NOT related to DS2 I/O occurs. This allows \r\n to work. * gui.c, initialisation: Remove the Engrish in the "initial <subsystem name> error" messages. Make them appear in English and French. Unfortunately, the console doesn't support Chinese characters, and I don't know Chinese.
2012-12-20Bump the version number for NDSSFC.Nebuleon Fumika
* gui.c: #define NDSSFC_VERSION "1.08".
2012-12-20Remove the SNES Open Bus behaviour by default. Also simplify translation again.Nebuleon Fumika
SNES Open Bus is a quirk of the memory subsystem that allow reads of invalid addresses to return the last byte read from memory. However, it is seldom needed by a game, and it costs 1 to 3 MIPS instructions per SNES instruction to emulate. If you need SNES Open Bus, you can remove -DNO_OPEN_BUS from the Makefile.
2012-12-19Make it easier to add new translations to the menu.Nebuleon Fumika
* source/nds/gui.c: Calculate the number of options based on the array size of language_otions.
2012-12-19EN: Link the French translation to the interface. FR: Ajout de la traduction ↵Nebuleon Fumika
française à l'interface. EN: * bdf_font.c: Add support for having a main font, [0], of more than 128 characters. Refactor character width checks into a new function, BDF_width16_ucs. * bdf_font.h, draw.h, gui.c: Use UTF-8 for all strings to allow more translations. Use BDF_width16_ucs where possible. FR: * bdf_font.c: Prendre en charge une police principale, [0], de plus de 128 caractères. Diriger les vérifications de la largeur d'un caractère vers une nouvelle routine, BDF_width16_ucs. * bdf_font.h, draw.h, gui.c: Utiliser le codage UTF-8 pour toutes les chaînes pour permettre d'autres traductions. Utiliser BDF_width16_ucs là où c'est possible.
2012-12-19Change the English labels so they're more descriptive.Nebuleon Fumika
Really set the default CPU frequency to the highest.
2012-12-19Default to Graphics Mode 3, which displays the correct SNES aspect ratio at ↵Nebuleon Fumika
the cost of some lines at the top and bottom.
2012-12-19Raise the CPU's clock speed to 396 MHz while loading ROMs.Nebuleon Fumika
Also raise the CPU's clock speed to 396 MHz by default, instead of 360 MHz, when emulating a ROM.
2012-12-18Sync sound.Nebuleon Fumika
In addition to having less sound skipping going on, certain platformer games (I'm looking at you, Super Mario World) are helped by having more synchronised controls. In other words, synchronising the audio also synchronises the controls a bit more.
2012-12-18Remove various explicit delays and reduce screen tearing when drawing ↵Nebuleon Fumika
emulated screens.
