TMS34020 is what Battle Toads uses, and FBA needs Battle Toads :)  Hopefully a possibility? :D

Of course. TMS34020 has more opcodes (40+), MAME only implements 5 and Battletoads runs very well.
There's a lot of great games with TMS34010:

First of all, hiyas everyone!!  :biggrin: I hope everyone is doing alright. I have been watching the progress of FBA through my email (Assembla notifications), even when I was not able to come and participate here as I used to. I am happy that FB Alpha project has continued growing and evolving.

Nice to meet you Romhack and dink, I been following your updates and man! they are awesome :D you guys are great! keep up your great work!

Congrats to everyone (JacKc, iq_132, Barry, dink, Romhack, and company!) on everything that has been implemented to FBA through all this time.

Take care guys!

SeeYa!
 :biggrin:

Thanks and nice to meet you too, CaptainCPS  :biggrin:

Well, I think it's time to write some TM34010's video routines, MK3 already writes to these registers (also into DMA registers, MidwayPic, etc...)  ;p

Nice to see you again Cap! I would love to see you active again, even just a little bit. :)

I always start to miss people like Jimmy_Page, Ferchogtx, and kenshiro when I see someone who hasn't been active in a long time.

Romhack, I finally got Killer Instinct running on my PC :) (13 frames/sec on my p4!)
Theres a few problems, though...

in dcs2k.cpp, in Dcs2kRender() it overflows the soundbuffer (causing a crash):
Code: [Select]
    for (int i = 0; i < nSegmentLenght; i++) {
INT16 sample = pSoundBuffer->sample();
pSoundBuf[i * 2 + 0] = sample;
pSoundBuf[i * 2 + 1] = sample;
}
the * 2 should not be there, I think?

also, I get a division by zero crash on line 99:
Code: [Select]
    T sample() {
        int sum = 0;
        for (int x = 0; x < t2h_count; x++)
sum += next();
        return sum / t2h_count;
    }

I changed it to:
Code: [Select]
        return (t2h_count) ? sum / t2h_count : 0; and removed the * 2 from indexing pSoundBuf[].  Now it runs fine, but theres no sound at all.  Ideas? :)

best regards,

*2 is for stereo pBurnSoundOut (linux default configuration is 22kHz stereo). I don't know if FBA uses stereo sound on windows.

The problem is native sample rate of FBA. FBA SampleRate needs to be lower than 31250Hz (KI e KI2 samplerate), look at this code:
Code: [Select]
    void set_host_rate(int freq) {
        host_rate = freq;
        factor = static_cast<double>(host_rate) / static_cast<double>(target_rate);
        unused = target_rate * factor;
        t2h_count = target_rate / unused;
    }
I used a naive approach to downsample from 31250Hz to 22000Hz, It calculates the factor between fba samplerate (host_rate) and driver samplerate (target_rate), then I calculate how many samples it needs to "ignore". t2h_count is just how many samples to skip on driver original sound to match FBA sound output frequency. However, if host_rate < target_rate, then factor is <0, unused is an integer so it's truncated to 0.

Code: [Select]
T sample() {
        int sum = 0;
        for (int x = 0; x < t2h_count; x++)
            sum += next();
        return sum / t2h_count;
    }
It just calculates arithmetic mean of skipped samples, each FBA samples needs t2h_count driver samples  :smilie:.

Romhack,

I have the KI stuff building in MinGW (GCC4.9) and MSVC 2013 (x86 only).

I'm nearly there with the x64 DRC, but they both MinGW and MSVC are falling over at the same points;

mips3_x64_ew.h (lines 27 and 42, called via the macros)
Code: [Select]
F_ADR(mips3::translate)
and;

mips3_x64.cpp (line 458)
Code: [Select]
mov(rax, (size_t) (void*)f);
MSVC is complaining with the following;

Quote
Compiling src/cpu/mips3/x64/mips3_x64.cpp...
mips3_x64.cpp
d:\fbasrc\src\cpu\mips3\x64\mips3_x64_rw.h(59) : error C2440: 'type cast' : cann

d:\fbasrc\src\cpu\mips3\x64\mips3_x64_rw.h(59) : error C2661: 'Xbyak::CodeGenera

and;

If I remove the offending code, both GCC and MSVC compile and link fine (but crash on starting the driver).

Any ideas on how to do this in a more compliant, compiler friendly way?

Looks like there are some endian issues to resolve, but I can look at these when we are building ok!

Can you create a trampoline function that is void ?

I did not know but we can't take address of a member function on C++ standard  :eek: https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/pointers-to-members#cant-cvt-memfnptr-to-voidptr.

I'm thinking of turning this code:
Code: [Select]
class cpu {
    int reg;
    void inc(uint32_t opcode) {
        reg++;
    }
}

into:

Code: [Select]
class cpu {
    int reg;
    static inline void add(cpu *p, uint32_t opcode) {
        p->reg++;
    }
}
Dolphin uses this style.


With MSVC, there's another issue: the ABI, current calling ABI (used on mips3_x64::fallback and mips3_x64_rw.h) is SysV AMD64: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions.

Just ABI problems. Replace prolog, epilog and fallback functions on mips3_x64.cpp to:


mips3_x64::fallback()
Code: [Select]
void mips3_x64::fallback(uint32_t opcode, void (mips3::*f)(uint32_t))
{
#ifdef _WIN32
    // WIN64 ABI - MICROSOFT
    mov(rcx, (size_t) m_core);
    mov(edx, opcode);
#else
    // SysV AMD64 ABI - GNU
    mov(rdi, (size_t) m_core);
    mov(esi, opcode);
#endif
    mov(rax, (size_t) (void*)f);
    call(rax);
}


mips3_x64::prolog()
Code: [Select]
void mips3_x64::prolog()
{
    // R15 = cycle counter
    // RBX = cpu_state base
    push(rbp);
    push(rbx);
#ifdef _WIN32
    push(rsi);
    push(rdi);
#endif
    push(r15);
    mov(rbp, rsp);
    sub(rsp, 16);
    mov(rbx, ADR(m_core->m_state));
    mov(r15, ADR(m_icounter));
    mov(r15, ptr[r15]);

    check_icounter();
}

mips3_x64::epilog(bool do_ret)
Code: [Select]
void mips3_x64::epilog(bool do_ret)
{
    add(rsp, 16);
    mov(rax, ADR(m_icounter));
    mov(ptr[rax], r15);
    pop(r15);
#if _WIN32
    pop(rdi);
    pop(rsi);
#endif
    pop(rbx);
    pop(rbp);
    if (do_ret)
        ret();
}


Now it's running. I need to rewrite functions in mips3_x64_rw.h (even on linux they are disabled).

Thanks Romhack - MinGW64 is now running without crashing.

If we could just fix the compile errors for MSVC x64 we'd be sorted for building.
