Arbee's To-Do List

Nothing listed here is a guarantee or promise of action. I have many more interests than I have hours in a day. This lists only things directly related to MAME and MESS. Also, order listed here may not reflect actual implementation order.

• "napple2gs" project

 - New clean, modern IIgs driver, running the ADB micro controller code (in progress)

• Put in the fixed VIA shifter semantics pointed out by the linux-m68k guys and fix the resulting catastrophes.
• Emulate key repeat on Apple /// (similar to //e, same h/w designers, go figure)
• Finish emulating original Mac and Mac Plus keyboards, eliminate that cruft from the driver
• Break up Mac driver to better reflect h/w differences, and make the various system ASIC families into devices (mac128 now split, more in progress)
• Integrate PortAudio? (Have an external submit for this that can work)
• Figure out Ensoniq 16-bit crash (EPS OS, VFX SD/SD-1 sequencer)
• Emulate 3rd-generation Ensoniqs (ASR-10, MR-Rack, KT-76)
• Break out HLE'd line-level ADB handling into a bus/ and devices.
• Final, A/UX compliant (n)scsi-based NCR5380 and 5394/96 adaptations
• Get Sun 2/3/3x/4 to boot something
• Other 1980s Unix workstations: Sun, HP, Tektronix (all in progress)
• Get Lisa to run
• SH4 and ARM DRCs
• AICA needs better envelope handling. Shenmue DSF rips need filters
• Cycle-by-cycle WDC65816, integrating M377xx and Nintendo variants
• Help Andrew with Polygonet Commanders/Poly-Net Warriors where possible (I AM NOT A DSP56K COWBOY)

Later

• SCSP/AICA DSP recompiler
• AICA needs better envelope handling. Shenmue DSF rips need the filters.
• 65816 family reunion
  • Merge 65816/M37710 so identical opcodes use the same code
  • Add Nintendo varient that runs in terms of SNES master cycles for better accuracy
• Rewrite Konami video chain and trojan unclear details
• Further reverse-engineering on (Super) System 23
• ARM DRC

SDLMAME/MESS

• Rework OpenGL backend:
  • Need to use a pixel shader to do YUV to RGB conversion or else laserdisc games will suck mightily on modern video cards (which no longer have dedicated conversion hardware)
  • Render to texture first so user shader can still be used for final blit? (And how bad will this break fglrx and Apple drivers?)
