nes emulator in go im trying to make it somewhat commented so yeah :D TODO: emulator base - [x] cpu passing nestest - [x] cart package (iNES parser, mapper 0) system bus (nes package) - [/] Bus type: 2KB RAM mirrored through $1FFF, PPU regs $2000-$3FFF (mirrored every 8), APU/IO $4000-$4017, cart $4020+ (APU still missing) - [x] OAM DMA at $4014 (stalls CPU 513/514 cycles) - [x] reuse it in nestest_test.go instead of the test-only bus - [/] CPU stall hook (done) and proper IRQ/NMI line (polled between instructions) - PPU currently fires NMI straight from Console.Step, see its doc comment ppu, background - [x] registers $2000-$2007 and v/t/x/w latch logic - [x] nametables with mirroring, palettes, buffered $2007 reads (pattern tables go through the mapper already) - [x] 341 dots x 262 lines timing, 3 dots per CPU cycle, odd-frame skip dot - [x] vblank flag and edge-triggered NMI, including the $2002 set-dot race window (see ppu/registers.go's readStatus) - [x] background shift-register pixel pipeline, PPUMASK clipping - [x] 256x240 framebuffer and RGB palette frontend and input - [x] cmd/gones sdl2 gui (veandco/go-sdl2): window, framebuffer texture, one frame per 1/60s, vsync - [ ] sdl2 audio output (queue or callback) - [x] controller $4016/$4017 strobe and shift register, keyboard mapping ppu, sprites - [x] OAM, per-scanline evaluation, 8-sprite limit, 8x8 and 8x16, flip, priority (overflow flag is the simple version, not the buggy hardware one) - [x] sprite-0 hit more mappers - [ ] MMC1 (1), UxROM (2), CNROM (3), AxROM (7) - [ ] MMC3 (4) with scanline IRQ - [ ] battery-backed save files apu - [ ] pulse x2, triangle, noise, DMC, frame counter, mixer - [ ] resampling and audio output accuracy - [x] implement all unofficial instructions - [ ] run accuracycoin and blargg's CPU, PPU, APU and MMC3 test ROMs polish - [ ] save states, pause/reset, fullscreen, gamepad - [ ] headless mode with framebuffer-hash regression tests - [ ] movie support - [ ] (maybe) tas tools testing: run `go test ./...` to run all tests `tests/testdata/nestest.nes` and `tests/testdata/nestest.log` are by kevin horton (kevtris), included for testing only.
