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.
2012-12-20Remove 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.
2012-12-18Un-inline a bunch of stuff.Nebuleon Fumika
With the MIPS instruction cache, this means that two consecutive SNES CPU instructions using e.g. the same addressing style or the same opcode have a chance that the second one will use the first one's code and that it will be cached.
