Cyclone Core Integrated On Mame Gp32 !!!

[Franxis]

At last, i have integrated Cyclone M68000 ASM core on MAME GP32 !.

Some games runs now too fast DD...

Please Help: Somebody knows how interruptions are threated in M68000??? I emulate 1/60 second to threat each of fired interruptions. Maybe this can be easily optimized... How many cycles are needed to threat each of M68000 interruptions???

List of MAME GP32 games with 68000 cpu:

yeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Too fast?

Cool.

Awesome Franxis!

Sorry I don't know how to help you with your current problem though :S

 

[BobBorakovitz]

damn, there's good news here just about every day!

anyway, thanx a ton, I can't wait to see something come out of this!

 

[fade]

This is awesome! Too fast is a great start, wahey!! I really wish i knew more to help out.

 

[Han]

YAY! You are da man Franxis!

Great news

Is there now a possibility of getting some later games running? for example Final Fight, Street Fighter 2?

Great work...

​

Well don't forget there are some that aren't possible due to RAM limitations.

Yeah true, would be great to see Pang on the GP thats not too advance, the GP32 versions are nice bit the original Arcade version would rule...

Just played the original Pang game on Mame, never played it before. It's quite nice apart from the fact that the screen isn't wide enough.

@Franxis: Are you using Notaz's version of Cyclone yet?, I highly recommend it.

I only have the Notaz's version... Previous ones have not been shared :angry:

sticking on the sega c2 games would be good, but you would need to copy the driver from a new version of mame.

Now all we need are ASM Z80 and 6502 ASM cores to make all classics play at FS0 and 133 MHz without crackly sound etc. Plus if all of the mute games could have sound MAME would be pretty complete.

​

- About ASM Z80 and 6502 cores: Flubba has written these cores for his GBA emulators. But they are not ready to be integrated in MAME. Apart from ASM syntax (ADS->GCC, it can be solved with some time, i know the way), some parts have to be changed or rewritten because it lacks some functionalities required for MAME. I have no experience in ASM ARM and probably Flubba will be too busy with his emulators, he own a GP32 but it seems he has not programmed for GP32 yet.

- DrZ80: Reesy don't want to release DrZ80 source code yet, because he is improving the emulator yet, it lacks documentation, and some functionalities are not ready for MAME integration

- Foon ASM Z80 core: No documentation, and some Spectrum specific code into the Z80 ASM ARM core. Also some thumb calls... I don't know how to solve these problems.

- Another ASM ARM core without name: Strange ASM ARM format...

- Optimizing existing MAME Z80 and M6502 cores: I have been trying to optimize them (i have spent a lot of hours), without success.

- Mute sound in some games: It is too complex to be solved, and i personally have no motivation to do it.

Then i don't know how to continue :blink: Probably it will take a long time to get a solution... Don't expect new MAME GP32 releases for a long time. :huh:

Regards.

Franxis- you are the man dude. You have managed to do something that many have thought was impossible and, better yet, you have documented it. You and thegrimreaper have outdone yourselves. While it's too bad that updates may not come around, it is certainly not something to cry over, cuz godammit, I can play tempest and star wars on my gp32!

thanks

DrZ80 is getting there I finally got around to completing the interrupt code last weekend. Hopefully this weekend I can knock up some basic documentation and release the source code. I may even add it to mame myself but it really depends on how much time I get.

I've sent you what I've got so far so check your hotmail address.

Thank you very much. I will try to integrate it by myself, i will inform you if i have any problem;-)
