Cyclone Core Updated Again

[jimmyslam]

Sounds good

But what can we use standard users for?

Standard users aren't really good for anything but whining and drinking coffee.

DDDD. true.

Yoohoo!!!!, maybe some System 16 like Golden Axe could run ok with this new version??? I will try it ASAP!. Thx Notaz

 

[notaz]

maybe Time Killers will work right now, too

Well it works, but sprites are not visible. Same with Musashi, probably a bug in my emu.

PLEASE at FOR THE LOVE OF GOD at PLEASE LET IT FIX HERZOG ZWEI!!

Afterburner, Space Harrier, Hang-on, (drools)

These run without problems in my emu, also works with old Cyclone, which means that there are other bugs in DrMD.

So what do you think is still missing in the core to be usable for Amiga/ST/... emulation?

Well I am not sure, would need to do Amiga/ST/... port myself to find out. In addition to potential problems mentioned in my first post there is a 4-byte prefetch thing which is again unemulated by Cyclone..

 

[Tobriand]

Just out of interest, how much work would it be to add that to Cyclone? And, more importantly really, if it were added, would the result likely be that Cyclone would slow down for it's current usages (given that, if I understand things rightly, fewer corners would be being cut)?

Do you actually read posts before replying to them?

BTW, Notaz, nice work

I read the news on the front page and quickly glanced through the post. I missed it.

Sorry, I hope you will forgive me..

C'mon Dave....you're slippin', bud! If you're gonna be the resident curmudgeon around these here parts, you gotta do your homework!

But seriously.....has Herzog been tested with this yet?

Oh the irony, the sweet irony

:blink: ....wowzers....I'm in the penalty box with DaveC... :lol:

But at least my question (and prayers) have been answered! HURRAY FOR ZWEI!!

 

[xinfernoofdantex]

Ohhh. CPS2 emu anyone?

If this happens does that mean Marvel vs Capcom?

 

[Reesy]

Have any other developers managed to get this working yet? I've tried it with the jump table compressed and uncompressed and all I get is a black screen. I haven't had chance to debug it yet, I just wanted to see if its just me.

Yes, but CPS2 is quite hard to emulate on the GP2X from what I have heard because of the QSound chip....

Also some of the games are quite big, so something like a GFX dump Gngeo2x has has to be made as well...

What was changed in this version is that you have to clear the IRQ level yourself if you use IRQ callback, something like:

void IntAck(int level)
{
  CycloneContext.irq = 0;
}

This was done to make it similar to Musashi core, I just forgot to mention this clearly..
Also don't forget to call CycloneInit() if you use compressed jumptable.

 

[Reesy]

Ahh, I've now added code to clear the IRQ and its all working again. Thanks for your help.

Weeee, with Cyclone 0.0086 games like Golden Axe or Altered Beast run perfectly in MAME !.

Nice! Between the MMU hack and new cyclone core MAME 2.4 should be quite a release!!
