Documentation

Overview

Package hardware is the base package for the VCS emulation. It and its sub-package contain everything required for a headless emulation.

The VCS type is the root of the emulation and contains external references to all the VCS sub-systems. From here, the emulation can either be started to run continuously (with optional callback to check for continuation); or it can be stepped cycle by cycle. Both CPU and video cycle stepping are supported.

Types

type VCS 

type VCS struct {
	Prefs *preferences.Preferences
	TV    *television.Television

	// references to the different components of the VCS. do not take copies of
	// these pointer values because the rewind feature will change them.
	CPU  *cpu.CPU
	Mem  *memory.Memory
	RIOT *riot.RIOT
	TIA  *tia.TIA

	// The Clock defines the basic speed at which the the machine is runningt. This governs
	// the speed of the CPU, the RIOT and attached peripherals. The TIA runs at
	// exactly three times this speed.
	//
	// The different clock speeds are due to the nature of the different TV
	// specifications. Put simply, a PAL machine must run slightly slower in
	// order to be able to send a correct PAL signal to the television.
	//
	// Unlike the real hardware however, it is not the console that governs the
	// clock speed but the television. A ROM will send a signal to the
	// television, the timings of which will be used by the tv implementation
	// to decide what type of TV signal (PAL or NTSC) is being sent. When the
	// television detects a change in the TV signal it will notify the emulated
	// console, allowing it to note the new implied clock speed.
	Clock float32

VCS struct is the main container for the emulated components of the VCS.

func NewVCS 

func NewVCS(tv *television.Television) (*VCS, error)

NewVCS creates a new VCS and everything associated with the hardware. It is used for all aspects of emulation: debugging sessions, and regular play.

func (*VCS) AttachCartridge 

func (vcs *VCS) AttachCartridge(cartload cartridgeloader.Loader) error

AttachCartridge to this VCS. While this function can be called directly it is advised that the setup package be used in most circumstances.

func (*VCS) Reset 

func (vcs *VCS) Reset() error

Reset emulates the reset switch on the console panel.

func (*VCS) Run 

func (vcs *VCS) Run(continueCheck func() error) error

Run sets the emulation running as quickly as possible. continuteCheck() should return false when an external event (eg. a GUI event) indicates that the emulation should stop.

func (*VCS) RunForFrameCount 

func (vcs *VCS) RunForFrameCount(numFrames int, continueCheck func(frame int) (bool, error)) error

RunForFrameCount sets emulator running for the specified number of frames. Useful for FPS and regression tests. Not used by the debugger because traps and steptraps are more flexible.

func (*VCS) SetClockSpeed added in v0.8.0 

func (vcs *VCS) SetClockSpeed(tvSpec string) error

SetClockSpeed is an implemtation of the television.VCSReturnChannel interface.

func (*VCS) Step 

func (vcs *VCS) Step(videoCycleCallback func() error) error

Step the emulator state one CPU instruction. With a bit of work the optional videoCycleCallback argument can be used for video-cycle stepping.
