v0.5.18-alpha

f2ab927

MSXgl v0.5.18 Alpha

Main changes:

[V9990] P1 and P2 modes are now fully functional (tiles on 2 layers and 125 sprites). The module also supports: Scrolling, Palette, Status and Interrupt (screen split). Commands and Bitmap modes WIP. A sample programe (s_v9990) show case the use of P1 and P2. You can test the sample online: https://webmsx.org/?PRESETS=V9990&ROM=https://github.com/aoineko-fr/MSXgl/raw/main/projects/samples/emul/rom/s_v9990.rom

[NinjaTap] Added support for Ninja Tap device to allows to connect up to 8 joysticks on MSX! Module include detection and reading joysticks state. A sample programe (s_ntap) show case how to use it. A driver for BASIC is also available (see s_usr sample) to manage the device with USR() function.
[VDP] Optimization of many functions by defining unused registers to prevent the compiler to save registers unnecessarily. Added function to set screen offset using X and Y coordinate, and Graphic Mode 2 helper functions.
[Memory] Added dynamic allocator feature (malloc style function). See s_sys sample for a use case.
[Print] Added functions to draw string with FX in 2-pass to prevent character effect overlap. Added vertical text drawing helper function. Optimized Print_DrawBin8() function.
[Crt0] Optimized custom ISR. Added support for Basic USR target and sample program (s_usr).
[Doc] Updated source code

v0.5.0-alpha

5dce16c

MSXgl v0.5.0 Alpha

[VDP] Added functions to send custom VDP commands for optimization purpose (need VDP_USE_CUSTOM_CMD option).
[VDP] Optimized VDP_FillVRAM_16K() function.
[VDP] Fixed a bug in Peek/Poke functions by setting access speed to match supported screen modes.
[VDP] Fixed bug in VDP_ReadStatus() function related to too fast access to VDP.
[VDP] Added VDP_FastFillVRAM_16K() fast VRAM fill function using 16x unrolled out loop (need VDP_USE_FASTFILL option).
[VDP] Added new inline function for VDP command with argument for direction (to handle vertical and horizontal symmetry)
[VDP] Fixed screen mode setting for MSX1 application when MSX2 screen was previously set (with 'Mode 80' under MSX-DOS for example)
[VDP] Added VDP_USE_RESTORE_S0 build option to always restore status register to S#0 (only need if you use default BIOS ISR)
[VDP] Added VDP_ISR_SAFE_MODE build option to define the level of protection of VDP code to ISR (can be VDP_ISR_SAFE_NONE, VDP_ISR_SAFE_DEFAULT or VDP_ISR_SAFE_ALL)
[Memory] Added function to fast copy/set data to RAM using 16x unrolled LDI (need MEM_USE_FASTCOPY and MEM_USE_FASTSET option).
[Memory] Optimized call for some basic functions (been inline).
[Input] Added support for mouse devices (need INPUT_USE_MOUSE option).
[Input] Added function to detect device plugged to the general purpose port (need INPUT_USE_DETECT option).
[Input] Added option to protect or not the access IO registers (need INPUT_USE_ISR_PROTECTION option). This option is need if you use default BIOS ISR but not if you use your own and don't access IO inside.
[Input] Added INPUT_JOY_UPDATE build flag to allow per-frame joystick update and added two new functions to get states changes (direction and buttons).
[Math] Optimized Math_Flip() bits-flip function and Math_Mod10() function.
[Math] Added helper inline functions to get (pseudo)random number from a given range: Math_GetRandomMax8/16() and Math_GetRandomRange8/16().
[Math] Added fast signed-integer power-of 2 division functions.
[System] Added macro to get current segment number in one of the mapped-ROM banks.
[GamePawn] Added option to set sprite ID for each layer separately (to fine tune sprite priority).
[GamePawn] Added big optimization when using fixed bound size (GAMEPAWN_BOUND_X/Y can be fixed pixel unit values or GAMEPAWN_BOUND_CUSTOM).
[GamePawn] Optimized of the update function (big improvement).
[String] Added fast integer-to-ASCII conversion functions (need STRING_USE_FROM_UINT8 and STRING_USE_FROM_UINT16 option).
[V9990] Added library and sample. Still WIP...
[Debug] Added support for string variable for Emulicious debug message.
[Debug] Added support for OpenMSX debug log feature.
[Crt0] Added an option to set S#0 at ISR start (so game code don't need to always rest S#0 when reading other status registers ().
[BuildTool] MSXgl library is not build into a static .lib file (path is /out/msxgl.lib). Use set BuildLibrary=0 in your build option to use the already built library and skip library rebuild.
[BuildTool] Added debug file deploying when debug option is activated.
[BuildTool] Improved extension handling for OpenMSX (check extension number and add slot expander accordingly).
[BuildTool] Stop build process when segment compilation failed and fixed debugger tool handling.
[BuildTool] Added option to update a build version value in a header file (.\version.h) at each build (use set BuildVersion=1).
[BuildTool] Added option to set devices plugged to general purpose port (mouse, joystick, paddle, ...).
[BuildTool] Set MSX2 application under MSX-DOS to use 80 column mode.
[BuildTool] Fixed .cdb debug file generation.
[Sample] Added a new sample - Example game - to showcase a complete game using MSXgl. Still WIP...
[Sample] Fixed samples detection and allowed to chose target type for bulk build (using build_all.bat).
[Doc] Updated source code documentation
