Rev 365 - Salvy

[!] Revert previous commit, need to test further

Rev 366 - Corn

[!] Simplified setting pitch tile

The DaedalusX64 team has released a new build of their Nintendo 64 emulator project for the PlayStation Portable.

Changelog:

[=>] Merged from Dev branch:

Rev 347 - Corn

[+] added ROM setting to enable Body Harvest and Night Creatures to boot
[!] modified IRQs
[+] added roms.ini for GEX3, Donald Duck and Rayman2

Rev 348 - Salvy

[!] Simplified and optimized TLB refill/invalid exceptions
[~] Simplified CopUnusuable exceptions

Rev 349 - Salvy

[-] Removed experimental interrupts (was pretty much a test anyways)
[~] Simplified abit UseIRQmode check, and added comments
[!] By mistake I removed to clear pi status reg in DMA_PI_CopyFromRDRAM...fixed

Rev 350 - Corn

[!] Improved speed in PIF CRC calculations (w/o using table)
[!] Proper name to IRQ hack -> SkipPifIRQ

Rev 351 - Salvy

Rev 353 - Salvy

[!] Add back hack for Aydin, since the assumption I took was breaking Rampage

[!] Unlocked volatile memory (this unlocks 4mbs extra of memory) (credits to JJS)

Note: The only side effects when volatile memory is used is that suspend and dialogs won't work I won't affect us though, since we don't depend on neither ;)
Note2: This is pretty much a test, only cheat codes are allocated in volatile mem atm.

Rev 355 - Salvy

[!] Forgot VolatileMemPSP.cpp

Rev 356 - Salvy

Rev 332 - Salvy

[!] Optimized CPU_SetCompare

Rev 333 - Salvy

!] Made COP0 registers 32bit (to save a few cycles, since the values written aren't 64bit anyways)

Rev 335 - Salvy

[!] Optimized CTC1 in dynarec

Rev 336 - Corn

[!] some small optimizations in code generator

Revision 723 of DaedalusX64, the ever-popular Nintendo 64 emulator for the PlayStation Portable is now out folks. What's new in the latest build?

Changelog:

[=>] Merged from Dev branch:

Rev 331 - Salvy

[!] Simplified alpha test checks
[!] Simplified and inline SetMux
[~] Removed hack for Aidyn (no longer needed)
[~] Do not test for GU_GREATER in alpha threshold mode (was breaking Aidym)
[!] Fixed debug build

Rev 332 - Salvy

[~] Corrected order of rt and rs in SPECIAL opcodes that had it incorrect
[~] DSUBU/ADDU should be unsigned

Rev 333 - Corn

[!] small optimization of StoreFPR_Double()
[~] clean up some redundant code in math.h

Rev 334 - Salvy
[!] Optimize interrupts (this time shouldn't cause issues)
[!] Check first if interrupts are enabled to avoid wasting time checking for pending interrupts

Rev 335 - Salvy

[!] Optimized out instances of status reg

Rev 336 - Salvy

Rev 337 - Salvy

[!] Bump up OSHLE cache version

The DaedalusX64 team has recently updated their ever-improving Nintendo 64 emulator project for the PlayStation Portable, bumping it up to revision 722.

Changelog:

[=>] Merged from Dev branch:

Rev 325 - Salvy

[!] Simplified Audio_Ucode
[~] Make sure to reset isMKABI and isZeldaABI

Rev 326 - Salvy

[+] Added blendmode for Zora's Domain water

Rev 327 - Salvy

[!] Force disable simulate doubles for Gex64 (fixes Gex64)

Rev 328 - Corn

[!] Clean up SetNewVertexInfo() for Conker
[!] Change order for PIF processing in DMA

Rev 329 - Corn

[!] Optimized order for ENV mapping in Conkers SetNewVertexInfo()

Rev 330 - Salvy

[!] Full extend DADDU (Fixes cut scene in final stage in Conker) (Note : This is the proper way, not sure why ExciteBike needs the operand to be 32bit.. I'll investigate eventually)
[!] Fixed DSUBU (Fixes crash in final stage in Conker, also random lock ups in Animal Crossing, and random lock up when entering pause menu in Majora's Mask)

PS : Final stage in Conker should be playable now o/
Note: There's a big design flaw in our SPECIAL opcodes (and probably other opcodes), since rt and rs order is wrong! This doesn't matter for mults and adds, but is a break deal for subs and divs, I'll correct this soon.

Here's the latest build of DaedalusX64, the ever improving Nintendo 64 emulator for the PlayStation Portable.
