Mega-CD support #29

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
It would be cool to have mega CD suppot to play game like Dune, Road
Avenger... Maybe look at the code used by Notaz for his emulator Picodrive

http://notaz.gp2x.de/

Thanks for your hard work on this emulator ;)

I know Puggsy CD has a a lot of (and rather impressive for the time) FMVs in 
it, if you need further testing. The final boss of that game is just to avoid 
getting killed by the FMV rendered boss.

Thanks but it's not the case as I'm already handling the "latency" thing in 
vdp_68k_ctrl_w, in fact it's handled exactly as SVP RAM latency since it's 
similar behavior. I only had to fix the way I was initially doing it a little 
bit as it caused issue when reg[21] was set to zero, which was the cause of 
Popful Mail screen corruption.

Off topic, I appreciate the fact you decided to maintain your IOS/Android port 
of Genesis Plus GX through googlecode from now and although I still doesn't 
like the fact you didn't respect our demand and obviously made a business out 
of it, it seems like you did a good job in integrating Picodrive CD stuff in 
the core.

Actually, it's where the problem lies: when i press start to keep the intro, it 
 takes a very long time (something like 5000 frames) to display the konami 
headquarter cutscene then it locks forever and never display what should be 
next (act 1 screen then start of the game).

I already fakes the real TOC and got the intro running fine but as soon as the 
game is supposed to start, it hangs as described above so i'm sure it's 
something else as other emulators handle this part just fine, with or without 
any audio tracks and even with "perfect synchro" disabled.

For the record, my whole implementation is written from scratch, using official 
docs as main reference and Gens/Picodrive only for CDD commands or when i had a 
doubt about expected behavior. I suspect it might be a bug somewhere in this 
implementation but unfortunately could not figure it yet.

I fixed the Snatcher issue: it appears I forgot to handle 16-bit writes to 
Timer & Interrupt Mask registers, which was the cause of lockup.

There is no planned "release date" and there are still many games to test, so 
it's better not assuming anything at all ;-)

Apart from fixed memory handlers, Snatcher need correct TOC data to display the 
intro.

The same is required by Lunar games which otherwise freeze at specific parts.

Some other screenshots.

Fixes to the core were required for Vay to boot: this game requires code 
running from Word-RAM in 1M mode, which was not possible with my initial 
implementation.

I'm now trying to get Time Gal running: this game require very precise 
synchronization between the 2 CPU and it seems I was a little bit optimistic 
with my previous statement about this issue as my solution obviously does not 
work for this game.

I also added .BIN support as the image I had for this game came in this format, 
as well as proper name & region detection when loading CD game. Interestingly, 
it seems that the region field in the header (same format as Genesis ROM 
header) is not used and that the CD BOOT ROM instead compare the BOOT program 
on the CD when its hard-coded BOOT program. Using the region field therefore 
appeared to be quite unreliable and the method to detect region is to detect 
specific byte data from the CD boot program (at address $20B, $7a is for US 
security program, $64 for european and $a1 for japan).

So cool to see such great progress ekeeke. I never though Mega CD emulation 
would be possible on the Wii. This is already the greatest Mega Drive emulator 
I've ever used, it's just so authentic, with MCD it will be unbeatable. Really 
looking forward to it.

After a huge amount of debugging and brain scratching (and thanks to the help 
of Stef, author of Gens), I was able to fix Time Gal not booting. 

For the record, it appears that this game need some delay between the time a 
PLAY/READ command is sent to CD drive and the time it really starts reading 
from the wanted sector. Good news is that is also fix Road Avenger and Cobra 
Command, which share the same booting code as Time Gal.

From the screens above, you would have notice have somehow increase greatly for 
games: I indeed implemented CPU idle loop detection (for both CPU) which will 
stop one of the CPU if it is detected to poll one of the shared register, 
waiting for the other CPU to finish a task. A lot of games actually have CPU 
sending lot of time polling this register and stopping them (i.e not 
decoding/executing the read instructions until the other CPU unlock the 
situation) helps a lot to improve emu performance.

I also improved the way CPU synchronization was done, making it tied to CPU 
polling detection and bringing it to a finer granularity, while still being 
more optimized than running both CPU in cycle blocks like what "perfect sync" 
options are usually doing.

This actually make a lot of more game, which require very precise 
synchronization between the 2 CPU, booting fine.

FMV games were THE big thing when CD games appeared in the nineties... until 
people realized how short they usually were and that most of them were not 
enjoyable to play at all.

Now with casual gaming, I recognize rediscovering these little game is kinda 
fun, and Mega CD has indeed A LOT of FMV games to discover ^^

Dragon Lair & Space Ace share the same weird code where they write to a 
read-only register and expect data to be written to the next register and 
bit-shifted by one. Adding support for this undocumented feature actually make 
them playable now.

Next two games to debug would be Ecco & Jaguar XJ220 which both suffer from 
graphic corruption in-game. Not sure where it comes from but it might be a bug 
with my emulation of some rarely used memory mode.

Finished testing the entire Mega CD / Sega CD library, compatibility is quite 
good with a few games probably still needing a few CPU sync improvement and 
maybe some remaining bugs with RAM transfer and/or graphics data handling.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I fixed Citizen X, WIlly Beamish & AH3 Thunderhawk/Thunderstrike graphic 
issues, though the two latters still suffer from minor graphic issues as shown 
in screenshots below.

It appeared that these games rely on the Word-RAM data remaining intact when 
switching between 1M and 2M mode: Word-RAM is indeed divided in two 128K banks 
which can either be accessed one bank at a time (1M mode) or entirely (2M mode) 
by both CPU. Most games will setup RAM data after switching modes but a few 
games will actually expect data to be still in place when modes are switched. 
Difficulty comes from the fact that both banks are interleaved (1st word of 
bank 1, 1st word of bank 2, 2nd word of bank 1, etc) when seen in "full" 2M 
mode and that CPU can actually execute code from this RAM in both modes. I had 
to change a few things to make this accurately handled and get these games 
working.

For the record, it also fixed Shadow of the Beast II not booting previously and 
gfx errors in ESPN Sunday Night NFL.

I fixed level 1 interrupt handling to get Batman Returns working: it appears 
that this interrupt should not be made pending if it is masked in the interrupt 
control register when a graphics operation ends, but rather simply dismissed.

What happened was that this interrupt eventually get triggered later when the 
game reinitializes the register, which is unexpected by the game and cause it 
to reset itself and crash.

Seems like Main-CPU interrupt (and presumably Timer interrupt as well) need to 
be handling similarly as "Arslan Senki" got fixed by dismissing pending level 2 
interrupts and writes to IFL2 bit when interrupt is disabled in Interrupt 
Control register.

Good News... most graphical issues were fixed by correcting the way VDP was 
reading from Word-RAM using DMA: I forgot to handle rare cases where the 
address auto-increment was set to something else than a value of two.

I also added SUB-CPU sync with MAIN-CPU when level 2 interrupt is triggered by 
the former, which was required by Earnest Evans & Fhey Area (two games from 
Wolf Team... again.. seems like they are all very sensitive to CPU sync).

And finally, I improved CPU polling detection in order to get 3x3 Eyes working. 
Side effect is that a bunch of other games (FIFA, Joe Montana's NFL Football, 
NHL 94 & Corpse Killer) now run fine, though I'm not sure to what changes it's 
related.

Which give the following compatibility now:

It appeared the copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms III I tried was a 
corrupted CD image, hence why it didn't work. Now works perfect now with a 
correct copy.

Still have strange issue with this weird Japanese game, A-Rank Thunder, as I 
cannot figure why it hangs there. I have the feeling this screen is some kind 
of error message but cannot read Japanese so can only guess. If anyone could 
translate what is written there, it will be much appreciated.

All the test i made so far are done with the windows port, because it's much 
more practical for quick testing. Thanks to the way the emulator is designed, 
backporting to Wii is straight forward, with only a few changes required in the 
interface.

So yes, windows port will be updated, although i hardly see why anyone would 
seriously want to use it in that state, better use Kega until someone make a 
decent PC port of the new core.

hi there ekeeke,

this is Squarepusher. With regards to the Windows port lacking - we could 
rectify this problem by finally merging the libretro port into the Genesis Plus 
GX master branch - that way, not only do you get native Linux/Windows/OSX 
support, but PS3/360 as well.

I would be all for it since it would mean I could drop my fork of the project.

Sure, that would be very nice.

I noticed you made a Github repository - is that the main repository now? If 
so, I could git clone your repo, commit the libretro port and then do a git 
pull request so you can integrate it into your repo.

I setup the github repository in case i am once again (and this time 
definitively)  kicked of googlecode because of license issues, i will update 
both  repositories simultaneously until i make the decision of leaving 
googlecode for good.

You can indeed submit your commit and I will integrate it, but I would suggest 
waiting for the core update that will come with Mega CD support, a lot of files 
were affected since I modified the way CPU core are handled.

Back to the topic:

- it appeared ESPN Sunday Night NFL & NFL Football Trivia Challenge were not 
frozen but you needed to hit 2nd player controller button to go further, my bad

- Jeopardy was fixed by improving CPU polling loop detection once again, now 
work with all games which is a relief

- Sangokushi III - Romance of the Three Kingdoms III was a bad dump, a good 
dump plays fine

Fixed the two last non-working Japanese games:

- A-Rank Thunder Tanjouhen requires correct disc TOC as it starts playing 
various audio tracks during intro and expect the track index to increment 
automatically and reach a specific audio track before continuing.

- Cosmic Fantasy Stories needed better CPU sync, which was achieved by 
improving SUB-CPU polling detection once again. I verified other games still 
work fine after that change, which is good.

So much for two games which nobody is probably gonna play anyway but reaching 
100% compatibility in only two months is something quite satisfying :-)

Fixed a bug with VDP DMA (on the Genesis side) which was the cause of corrupted 
logo in Willy Beamish. Contrary to my initial beliefs, DMA source address 
registers are not incremented during DMA and should keep the initial written 
value. Surprisingly, no Genesis games seem to rely on this as this bug was not 
catched until today.

One left... the last being the hardest to figure out off course
