You misunderstood, he's saying 1 CPU cycle is 8 master cycles, which means the mvn/mvp would be 7 CPU cycles x 8 master cycles.. 56 cycles compared to 8 for the DMA. Aha. Well, okay. Sorry, Optiroc. :lol: Then again, where can I read more about CPU/master cycles? Up until now, to the best of my kno...

Honestly, which of you does truly believe that all those rather sophisticated SNES demos that surfaced in the course of the 1990s were made by anybody else but, well, actual SNES developers from back in the days?

Or rather, the other way round.

Thanks for NOT READING my post at all.

So from what I've read, DMA takes 8 cycles per byte. The mvn/mvp instructions, on the other hand, each take only 7 cycles per byte, assuming the WDC document on the 65816 is correct. Is this true? Should I refrain from using DMA (at least for memory regions available on the A-bus) altogether, especi...

Ditto.

Anyone, please ...?

These have lurked in my firmware ever since its initial beta-1 release, and I finally want to get rid of 'em. :wink: 1. Some older (?) SPCs, mainly from SquareSoft games, only play with echo-like artifacts right at the beginning. I made a short video to show what I mean exactly: http://manuloewe.de/...

> Edit: I forgot to mention that you have to update your entire game library, as higan v096 in its standard settings simply ignores manifest.bml files instead of conveniently updating them. Why? Because I don't tag manifests with version numbers, and if people left their old manifests around, the g...

byuu changed the format of manifest.bml yet again for the higan v096 release. This completely breaks any and all out-of-the-box support for MSU1 (which has solely relied on correct manifest.bml/xml files ever since). From a developer's perspective, this is no big deal. You're a user? Sucks to be you...

Neat!

News: When you return to a directory's parent directory, the cursor will automatically be placed on the subdirectory you left for convenience. :) Also, you can now flip through the "pages" of a directory indefinitely (i.e., no more forced "stop" at the beginning/end of the file l...

The use of red and blue buttons on the title screen of 11310 is kind of confusing, seeing as my controller is a U.S. one with purple A and B and lavender X and Y. Don't forget that you can switch to a different theme with US-colored buttons at any time. :-) ...and now I'm on 11325. Great! Feel free...

if you're still running v1.0X or v2.0X (non-beta), proceed as described in How To Use.txt. :-) Steps necessary: 1. Determine the current version of your firmware. You'll see the version number once you power up your SNES PowerPak. If it says, "Boot ROM v1.0X" (where X can be any number), ...

The file browser is getting a major overhaul: All file browsing routines (there had been 4 of them by now) have been merged into a single subroutine. The stack is now used to keep track of directories visited, which will eventually allow me to implement convenient stuff like placing the cursor on th...

Code is now on GitHub . Feel free to download the latest build #11314 . If you're already running v3.00 build #11310, simply copy UPDATE.ROM to your /POWERPAK folder (overwriting the existing file), go to the settings menu, and select "Check for firmware update". Otherwise, i.e. if you're ...
