8 This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis emulator for PSP, but with
\r
9 Sega CD / Mega CD support. Although it has been originally written having
\r
10 ARM CPU based devices in mind, it has now been ported to PSP too, by
\r
11 replacing ARM specific parts with portable C code.
\r
12 The base code originates from Dave's (fdave, finalburn) PicoDrive 0.30 for
\r
13 Pocket PC. The Sega/Mega CD code is roughly based on Stephane Dallongeville's
\r
16 This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD / 32X / SMS
\r
17 emulator, which was written having ARM-based handheld devices in mind
\r
18 (such as PDAs, smartphones and handheld consoles like GP2X and Gizmondo
\r
20 The emulator is heavily optimized for ARM, features assembly cores for
\r
21 68k, Z80 and VDP chip emulation, also has dynamic recompilers for SH2 and
\r
22 SSP16 (for 32X and SVP emulation). It was started by Dave (aka fdave,
\r
23 finalburn author) as basic Genesis/Megadrive emulator for Pocket PC,
\r
24 then taken over by notaz and developed primarily for GPH devices.
\r
27 PicoDrive is the first emulator ever to properly emulate Virtua Racing and
\r
35 Extract all files to some directory on your SD and run PicoDrive.gpe from your
\r
36 GP2X/Wiz/Caanoo menu. The same .gpe supports GP2X F100/F200, Wiz and Caanoo,
\r
37 there is no need to use separate versions.
\r
38 Then load a ROM and enjoy! ROMs can be in .smd or .bin format and can be zipped.
\r
39 Sega/Mega CD images can be in ISO/CSO+MP3/WAV or CUE+BIN formats (read below
\r
43 First make sure you have homebrew-enabled Service Pack installed. Then copy
\r
44 PicoDrive.exe and KGSDK.dll to any place in your filesystem (both files must
\r
45 be in the same directory) and run PicoDrive.exe using the launcher of your choice
\r
46 (some of them might require renaming PicoDrive.exe to Autorun.exe, placing it in
\r
47 the root of SD, etc). Then load a ROM and enjoy! ROMs can be placed anywhere, can
\r
48 be in .smd or .bin format and can be zipped (one ROM per zip).
\r
51 If you are running a custom firmware, just copy the whole PicoDrive directory to
\r
52 /PSP/GAME or /PSP/GAMEXXX directory in your memory stick (it shouldn't matter
\r
53 which one GAME* directory to use).
\r
55 If you are on 1.5, there is a separate KXploited version for it.
\r
58 Copy SIS and some ROMs to any directory in your memory stick, and install the SIS.
\r
59 Then load a ROM and enjoy! ROMs can be in .smd or .bin format and can be zipped.
\r
62 Just copy the .pnd to <sd card>/pandora/menu or <sd card>/pandora/desktop.
\r
66 This emulator has lots of options with various tweaks (for improved speed mostly),
\r
67 but it should have best compatibility in it's default config. If suddently you
\r
68 start getting glitches or change something and forget what, use "Restore defaults"
\r
73 How to run Sega/Mega CD games
\r
74 -----------------------------
\r
76 To play any game, you need BIOS files. These files must be copied to
\r
78 D:\other\PicoDrive\ directory.
\r
81 <sd card>/pandora/appdata/PicoDrive/ directory
\r
82 (if you run PicoDrive once it will create that directory for you).
\r
84 the same directory as PicoDrive files.
\r
87 Files can be named as follows:
\r
89 US: us_scd1_9210.bin us_scd2_9306.bin SegaCDBIOS9303.bin
\r
90 EU: eu_mcd1_9210.bin eu_mcd2_9303.bin eu_mcd2_9306.bin
\r
91 JP: jp_mcd1_9112.bin jp_mcd1_9111.bin
\r
92 these files can also be zipped.
\r
94 The game must be dumped to ISO/CSO+MP3/WAV or CUE+BIN format. When using
\r
95 CUE/BIN, you must load .cue file from the menu, or else the emu will not find
\r
97 CUE/BIN usually takes a lot of space, so it can be converted to cue/cso/mp3 by
\r
99 using bin_to_cso_mp3 tool, which can be downloaded from:
\r
100 http://notaz.gp2x.de/releases/misc/bin_to_cso_mp3.zip
\r
101 See readme in the bin_to_cso_mp3/ directory for details.
\r
103 using bin_to_cso_mp3 tool, which is included with the emulator. See readme in
\r
104 the bin_to_cso_mp3/ directory for details.
\r
107 ISO+mp3 files can be named similarly as for other emus.
\r
108 Here are some examples:
\r
110 SonicCD.iso data track
\r
111 SonicCD_02.mp3 audio track 1 (CD track 2)
\r
115 Sonic the Hedgehog CD (US) - Track 01.iso
\r
116 Sonic the Hedgehog CD (US) - Track 02.mp3
\r
117 Sonic the Hedgehog CD (US) - Track 03.mp3
\r
120 In case there is a .cue file with properly specified files names in it,
\r
121 file naming doesn't matter. Just be sure to load .cue from the menu.
\r
123 It is very important to have the MP3s encoded at 44kHz sample rate and they
\r
124 must be stereo, or else they will play too fast/slow or won't play at all.
\r
125 Be sure NOT to use anything but classic mp3 format (don't use things like
\r
128 ISO files can also be .cso compressed or zipped (but not mp3 files, as they
\r
129 are already compressed). CSO will cause slightly longer loading times, and
\r
130 is not very good for FMV games. Zipping ISOs is not recommended, as it will
\r
131 cause very long (several minute) loading times, and make some games
\r
132 unplayable. File naming is similar as with uncompressed ISOs.
\r
135 SonicCD.cso data track
\r
136 SonicCD_02.mp3 audio track 1 (CD track 2)
\r
141 Other important stuff
\r
142 ---------------------
\r
144 * Sega/Mega CD: If the game hangs after Sega logo, you may need to enable
\r
145 "better sync" and/or "Scale/Rot. fx" options, found in "Sega/Mega CD options"
\r
146 submenu, and then reset the game. Some other games may also require
\r
147 "CDDA audio" and "PCM audio" to be enabled to work (enabled by default).
\r
148 Incorrectly named/missing mp3s may also be the cause.
\r
149 * Sega/Mega CD: If the background music is missing, you might have named your
\r
150 MP3s incorrectly. Read "How to run Sega/Mega CD games" section again.
\r
151 * Sega/Mega CD: If the game music plays too fast/too slow/out of sync, you have
\r
152 encoded your MP3s incorrectly. You will have to re-encode and/or resample them.
\r
153 PicoDrive is not a mp3 player, so all mp3s MUST be encoded at 44.1kHz stereo.
\r
154 Badly encoded mp3s can cause various kind of problems, like noises, incorrect
\r
155 playback speeds, not repeating music or even prevent game from starting.
\r
156 Some games (like Snatcher) may hang in certain scenes because of this.
\r
157 Some mp3 rippers/encoders remove silence and beginning/end of audio tracks,
\r
158 what causes audio desyncs and/or mentioned problems.
\r
159 If you have cue/bin rip, you can use the bin_to_cso_mp3 tool (included with
\r
160 the emulator) to make a proper iso/mp3 rip.
\r
161 * Sega/Mega CD: If your games hangs at the BIOS screen (with planets shown),
\r
162 you may be using a bad BIOS dump. Try another from a different source.
\r
163 * Some Sega/Mega CD games don't use Z80 for anything, but they leave it active,
\r
164 so disabling Z80 manually (in advanced options) improves performance.
\r
165 * Use lower bitrate for better performance (96 or 128kbps CBRs recommended).
\r
167 * GP2X F100/F200: When you use both GP2X CPUs, keep in mind that you can't
\r
168 overclock as high as when using ARM920 only. For example my GP2X when run
\r
169 singlecore can reach 280MHz, but with both cores it's about 250MHz. When
\r
170 overclocked too much, it may start hanging and producing random noise, or
\r
171 causing ARM940 crashes ("940 crashed" message displayed).
\r
172 * GP2X F100/F200: Due to internal implementation mp3s must not be larger that
\r
173 12MB (12582912 bytes). Larger mp3s will not be fully loaded.
\r

584 Problems / limitations
\r
585 ----------------------
\r
588 * SVP emulation is terribly slow.
\r
590 * Various VDP modes and quirks (window bug, scroll size 2, etc.) are not
\r
591 emulated, as very few games use this (if any at all).
\r
592 * The emulator is not 100% accurate, so some things may not work as expected.
\r
593 * The FM sound core doesn't support all features and has some accuracy issues.
\r
599 This emulator is made of the code from following people/projects:
\r
602 GP2X, UIQ, PSP, Gizmondo ports, CPU core hacks, dynamic recompilers,
\r
603 lots of additional coding (see changelog).

\r
688 and Caanoo. Lots of internal refactoring to support this.
\r
689 + Enabled 32X and SMS code. It's still unfinished but better release something
\r
690 now than wait even more (it has been in development for more then a year now
\r
691 due to various other projects or simply lack of time).
\r

738 * ARM: fixed a crash when CD savestate is loaded just after loading ROM.
\r
741 * Improved bin_to_cso_mp3 tool, it should no longer complain about
\r
742 missing lame.exe even if it's in working dir.
\r
743 * Fixed a regression from 1.50, which caused slowdowns in Final Fight.
\r
744 * Fixed some regressions from 1.50 related to sprite limit and palette

746 + Added ABC turbo actions to key config.
\r
747 * Some other minor adjustments.
\r
750 + Added some basic support for Sega Pico, a MegaDrive-based toy.
\r
751 + Added proper support for cue/bin images, including cdda playback.
\r
752 .cue sheets with iso/cso/mp3/wav files listed in them are now
\r
753 supported too (but 44kHz restriction still applies).
\r
754 + Added bin_to_cso_mp3 tool, based on Exophase's bin_to_iso_ogg.
\r
755 The tool can convert .cue/.bin Sega CD images to .cso/.mp3.
\r
756 * Greatly improved Sega CD load times.
\r
757 * Changed how scheduling between 68k and z80 is handled. Improves
\r
758 performance for some games. Credits to Lordus for the idea.

\r
762 in Shaq Fu, Spider-Man - The Animated Series (intro music), etc.)
\r
763 Credits to Nemesis @ spritesmind forum. Works only if sound rate
\r
765 + Implemented some sprite rendering improvements, as suggested by
\r
766 Exophase. Games with lots of sprites now perform better.
\r
767 + Added better idle loop detection, based on Lordus' idea again.
\r
768 - "accurate timing" option removed, as disabling it no longer
\r
769 improves performance.
\r
770 - "accurate sprites" was removed too, the new sprite code can
\r
771 properly handle sprite priorities in all cases.
\r
772 * Timers adjusted again.
\r
773 * Improved .smd detection code.

\r
801 wrote ARM recompiler and some HLE code for VR. Credits to Exophase and
\r
802 Rokas for various ideas.
\r
803 * Changed config file format, files are now human-readable. Game specific
\r
804 configs are now held in single file (but old game config files are still
\r
805 read when new one is missing).
\r
806 * Fixed a bug where some key combos didn't work as expected.
\r
807 * Fixed a regression in renderer (ARM ports only, some graphic glitches in
\r
809 * Adjusted fast renderer to work with more games, including VR.
\r
810 * Fixed a problem where SegaCD RAM cart data was getting lost on reset.
\r
811 * GP2X: Greatly reduced SegaCD FMV game slowdowns by disabling read-ahead
\r
812 in the Linux kernel and C library (thanks to Rokas and Exophase for ideas
\r
813 again). Be sure to keep "ReadAhead buffer" OFF to avoid slowdowns.
\r
814 + PicoDrive now comes with a game config file for some games which need
\r
815 special settings, so they should now work out-of-the-box. More games will
\r
816 be added with later updates.
\r
817 + GP2X: Files now can be deleted by pressing A+SELECT in the file browser.
\r
820 * PSP: mp3 code should no longer fail on 1.5 firmware.

\r
826 (like NBA Jam and NHL 9x).
\r
827 + PSP: added suspend/resume handling for Sega CD games.
\r
828 + GP2X: added additional low volume levels for my late-night gaming sessions
\r
829 (in stereo mode only).
\r
830 + GP2X: added "fast forward" action in key config. Not recommended to use for
\r
831 Sega CD, may case problems there.

\r
838 + PSP: added additional "set to 4:3 scaled" display option for convenience.
\r
839 + PSP: Added an option to disable frame limitter (works only with non-auto frameskip).
\r
842 + PSP port added. Lots of new code for it. Integrated modified FAME/C, CZ80 cores.
\r
843 + Some minor generic optimizations.
\r
844 * Patched some code which was crashing under PSP, but was working in GP2X/Giz
\r
845 (although it should have crashed there too).
\r
849 + Gizmondo port added.
\r
850 + Some new optimizations in memory handlers, and for shadow/hilight mode.
\r
851 + Added some hacks to make more games work without enabling "accurate timing".
\r

\r
864 emulation to it to eliminate tearing and ensure smoothest scrolling possible.
\r
865 + Added an option to use A_SN's gamma curve for gamma correction (improves dark
\r
866 and bright color display for mk2s).
\r

\r
875 Upto 10MB hacked ROMs are supported now.
\r
876 + Config profiles added (press left/right when saving config).
\r
877 * Changed key configuration behavior to the one from gpfce (should be more
\r
879 + Added some skinning capabilities to the menu system with default skin by
\r
880 ketchupgun. Delete skin directory if you want old behaviour.
\r
881 * Some other little tweaks I forgot about.

\r
906 * File browser now filters out mp3s, saves and some other files, which are not ROMS.
\r
909 + ISO files now can be zipped. Note that this causes VERY long loading times.
\r
910 + Added data pre-buffering support, this allows to reduce frequency of short pauses
\r
911 in FMV games (caused by SD access), but makes those pauses longer.
\r
912 * Fixed PCM DMA transfers (intro FMV in Popful Mail).
\r
913 + Properly implemented "decode" data transformation (Jaguar XJ220).
\r
914 * Integrated "better sync" code into cyclone code, what made this mode much faster.
\r
915 * Fixed a bug related to game specific config saving.
\r

\r
945 + Savestates implemented for Sega/Mega CD.
\r
947 * Some mixer code rewritten in asm. 22kHz and 11kHz sound rates are now supported in
\r
948 Mega CD mode (but mp3s must still be 44kHz stereo).
\r
949 + Timer emulation added.
\r
950 * CDC DMA tansfers fixed. Snatcher and probably some more games now boot.
\r
951 * 2M word RAM -> VDP transfers fixed, no more corruption in Ecco and some other games.

\r
959 happening for NTSC games and causing sound clicks.
\r
960 * GP2X: Redone key config to better support USB joysticks (now multiple joysticks
\r
961 should be useable and configurable).
\r
962 + GP2X: Added save confirmation option.
\r

\r
975 * GP2X: Fixed a bug with lower res scaling.
\r
976 * GP2X: Gamma is now reset on exit.
\r
979 * ALL: Severely optimized MAME's YM2612 core, part of it is now rewritten in asm.

\r
981 performance increase.
\r
982 * ALL: Accurate renderers are slightly faster now.
\r
983 + GP2X: Using quadruple buffering instead of doublebuffer now, also updated

999 had missing sounds (Vectorman 2 1st level, Thunder Force 3 water level,
\r
1001 + ALL: Added another accurate 8-bit renderer which is slightly faster and made it
\r
1005 + GP2X: Added frame limiter for frameskipped modes.
\r
1006 * GP2X: Increased brightness a bit (unused pixel bits now also contain data).
\r
1007 * GP2X: Suidgehack was not applied correctly (was applied before allocating some
\r
1008 high memory and had no effect).
\r
1011 + Added GP2X port.
\r
1012 * Improved interrupt timing, Mazin Saga and Burning Force now works.
\r
1013 * Rewritten renderer code to better suit GP2X, should be faster on other

1017 Super Bubble Bobble, King of Fighters, Elf Wor, ... (thanks to Haze again)
\r
1018 + Added primitive Virtua Racing SVP faking, so menus can be seen now.
\r
1021 * Fixed a problem with P900/P910 key configuration in FC mode.
\r
1022 * Improved shadow/hilight mode emulation. Still not perfect, but should be
\r
1023 enough for most games.
\r
1024 + Save state slots added.
\r
1025 + Region selector added.
\r
1029 * VDP emulation is now more accurate (fixes flickering in Chase HQ II,
\r
1030 Super Hang-On and some other problems in other games).
\r
1031 * HV counter emulation is now much more accurate. Fixes the Asterix games,
\r
1032 line in Road Rash 3, etc.

\r
1035 * Fixed a crash in both renderers when certain size window layers were used.
\r
1036 + Added emulation of shadow/hilight operator sprites. Other shadow/hilight
\r
1037 effects are still unemulated.
\r
1038 + Sprite emulation is more accurate, sprite limit is emulated.
\r
1039 + Added "accurate sprites" option, which always draws sprites in correct
\r
1040 order and emulates sprite collision bit, but is significantly slower.
\r
1042 Emulation changes:
\r
1043 * Improved interrupt handling, added deferred interrupt emulation
\r
1045 + Added serial EEPROM SRAM support (Wonder Boy in Monster World,

\r
1049 in it for better performance. A noticeable performance increase, but save
\r
1050 states may not work from the previous version (you can only use them with
\r
1051 sound disabled in that case).
\r
1052 + SRAM word read handler was using incorrect byte order, fixed.
\r
1054 Changes in Cyclone 0.0086:
\r
1055 + Added missing CHK opcode handler (used by SeaQuest DSV).
\r
1056 + Added missing TAS opcode handler (Gargoyles,Bubba N Stix,...). As in real genesis,
\r
1057 memory write-back phase is ignored (but can be enabled in config.h if needed).
\r
1058 + Added missing NBCD and TRAPV opcode handlers.
\r
1059 + Added missing addressing mode for CMP/EOR.
\r
1060 + Added some minor optimizations.
\r
1061 - Removed 216 handlers for 2927 opcodes which were generated for invalid addressing modes.
\r
1062 + Fixed flags for ASL, NEG, NEGX, DIVU, ADDX, SUBX, ROXR.
\r
1063 + Bugs fixed in MOVEP, LINK, ADDQ, DIVS handlers.
\r
1064 * Undocumented flags for CHK, ABCD, SBCD and NBCD are now emulated the same way as in Musashi.
\r
1065 + Added Uninitialized Interrupt emulation.
\r
1066 + Altered timing for about half of opcodes to match Musashi's.
\r
1069 * Nearly all VDP code was rewritten in ARM asm. Gives ~10-25% performance
\r
1070 increase (depends on game).
\r
1071 * Optimized 32-column renderer not to render tiles offscreen, games which
\r
1072 use 32-column display (like Shining Force) run ~50% faster.
\r
1073 + Added new "Alternative renderer", which gives another ~30-45% performance
\r
1074 increase (in addition to mentioned above), but works only with some games,
\r
1075 because it is missing some features (it uses tile-based rendering
\r
1076 instead of default line-based and disables H-ints).
\r
1077 + Added "fit2" display mode for all FC gamers. It always uses 208x146 for
\r
1078 P800 and 208x208 for all other phones.
\r
1079 + Added volume control for Motorolas (experimental).
\r
1082 + Added support for vertical window (used by Vapor Trail, Mercs, GRIND
\r
1083 Stormer and others).
\r
1084 + Added sprite masking (hiding), adds some speed.
\r
1085 + Added preliminary H counter emulation. Comix Zone and Sonic 3D Blast
\r
1086 special stage are now playable.
\r
1087 + Added column based vertical scrolling (Gunstar Heroes battleship level,
\r
1088 Sonic and Knuckles lava boss, etc).
\r
1090 Emulation changes:
\r
1091 + Re-added and improved Z80 faking when Z80 is disabled. Many games now can
\r
1092 be played without enabling Z80 (Lost Vikings, Syndicate, etc), but some
\r
1093 still need it (International Superstar Soccer Deluxe).
\r
1094 * Improved ym2612 timers, Outrun music plays at correct speed, voices in
\r
1095 Earthworm Jim play better, more games play sound.
\r
1096 * I/O registers now remember their values (needed for Pirates! Gold)
\r
1097 + Added support for 6 button pad.
\r
1099 Changes in Cyclone 0.0083wip:
\r
1100 + Added missing CHK opcode (used by SeaQuest DSV).
\r
1101 + Added missing TAS opcode (Gargoyles). As in real genesis, write-back phase
\r
1102 is ignored (but is enabled for other systems).
\r
1104 Backported stuff from Snes9x:
\r
1105 * Fixed Pxxx jog up/down which were not working in game.
\r
1106 + Added an option to gzip save states to save space.
\r
1107 + The emulator now pauses whenever it is loosing focus, so it will now pause
\r
1108 when alarm/ponecall/battery low/... windows come up.
\r
1109 - Removed 'pause on phonecall' feature, as it is no longer needed.
\r
1110 + Video fix for asian A1000s.
\r
1113 * Started using tools from "Symbian GCC Improvement Project", which give
\r
1114 considerable speed increase (~4fps in "center 90" mode).
\r
1115 * Rewrote some drawing routines in ARM assembly (gives ~6 more fps in
\r
1116 "center 90" mode).
\r
1117 * Minor improvement to 0 and 180 "fit" modes. Now they look slightly better
\r
1119 * Minor stability improvements (emulator is less likely to crash).
\r
1120 + Added some background for OSD text for better readability.
\r
1121 + Added Pal/NTSC detection. This is needed for proper sound speed.
\r
1122 + Implemented Reesy's DrZ80 Z80 emu. Made some changes to it with hope to make
\r
1124 + Implemented ym2612 emu from the MAME project. Runs well but sometimes sounds
\r
1125 a bit weird. Could be a little faster, so made some changes too.
\r
1126 + Implemented SN76489 emu from the MAME project.
\r
1127 + Added two separate sound output methods (mediaserver and cmaudiofb) with
\r
1128 autodetection (needs testing).
\r
1129 * Fixed VDP DMA fill emulation (as described in Charles MacDonald's docs),
\r
1130 fixes Contra and some other games.
\r
1134 * Launcher now starts emulation process from current directory,
\r
1135 not from hardcoded paths.
\r
1136 * Improved 'pause on call' feature, should hopefully work with Motorola phones.
