[NES] Nintendulator v0.975 beta (13/06/2014)

Nintendulator [SVN 1305]

Author: quietust | Date: 13 czerwca 2014 04:50:03

• For consistency, don't trigger breakpoints on immediate reads

Nintendulator [SVN 1304]

Author: quietust | Date: 13 czerwca 2014 04:48:39

• Add missing "return FALSE"

Nintendulator [SVN 1303]

Author: quietust | Date: 12 czerwca 2014 23:55:50

• Update breakpoints to properly trigger on dummy reads for indirection and page-cross correction

March 22, 2021

• Today's build fixes a small bug in the mapper interface which would have prevented the debugger from working when using Game Genie codes.
• It also features a massive update to the mapper DLLs to dramatically simplify the process of adding new mappers - each mapper definition now automatically adds itself to a globally defined list on startup. The primary upshot of this is that I no longer have to keep around a statically-defined list of every possible mapper number, so supporting higher NES 2.0 mappers is now much more straightforward (the old method would've required tripling the size of 3 different lists).  The downside is that locating a supported mapper now requires performing a linear search, but even with 4096 different mappers that would still only take a microscopic fraction of a second.

Revision 865 26.03.2021

Author: quietust | Date: piątek, 26 marca 2021 22:32:52

• AVI - add message when Wine bug workaround is activated

Revision 864

Author: quietust | Date: piątek, 26 marca 2021 22:26:35

• Controller config - when selecting axes, require a minimum motion level

Revision 863

Author: quietust | Date: poniedziałek, 22 marca 2021 17:06:27

• Style cleanup - use bitwise OR instead of addition where appropriate. This cannot be applied to the Bank parameter, because that's not guaranteed to be aligned (and the FDS mapper relies on that).

Revision 862

Author: quietust | Date: poniedziałek, 22 marca 2021 15:53:10

• Fix silly copy/paste error in Mapper Interface. Mappers which applied custom read handlers wouldn't properly set the "unsafe" handler, but all of them should've been explicitly setting proper ones so it was still okay.

Revision 857

Author: quietust | Date: czwartek, 25 czerwca 2020 18:59:47

• Change debugger trace log to output scanline first, then pixel number

Revision 856

Author: quietust | Date: czwartek, 28 maja 2020 02:45:11

• #4 - Prevent $2007 from touching the palette while rendering
• Actual behavior is complicated, but Visual 2C02 clearly doesn't allow it
• to work normally.

Revision 855

Author: quietust | Date: czwartek, 21 maja 2020 00:12:24

• Add volume controls, accessible from Sound menu
• Sliders are available for Master volume, each individual internal channel,
• and all combined external sound channels (since the mapper interface does
• not expose them individually). Individual channels can also be muted
• without forgetting their original volume levels.

Revision 854

Author: quietust | Date: czwartek, 21 maja 2020 00:09:59

• Mapper Interface - set PRG bank pointer to NULL when mapping open bus.
• This prevents the Debugger from claiming that a bank is still mapped.

• see if it was all consumed correctly

Revision 851

Author: quietust | Date: sobota, 2 maja 2020 02:21:20

• AVI - rewrite/cleanup, and add workaround for apparent Wine bug

• GFX - add a global setting for conditionally disallowing frameskip
  • Use it instead of checking for all possible Zapper controllers
