Makaron Test 11.2 + MKFro v0.25.0.0 - Dreamcast Emulator For Windows

December 20th, 2008, 20:27 Posted By: wraggster

DKnute (news via aep) has released a new version of the Dreamcast Emulator For Windows, heres whats new:

The idea was to have FPGA handle the ATA interface, including DMA burst transfers, while external MCU will run part of Makaron GD code and take care of all the high-level stuff. 2GB Secure Digital card will provide necessary GD data.
I realized that EP2C20 can easily host both the interface and a soft-core NIOS II CPU with all the supporting logic for onboard memory chips. Now this is neat, I can actually run the NIOS faster than my ARM7 and it has more memory too (I mean, just the SDRAM is 8MB vs 64kB on-chip SRAM on ARM). The only problem is I don't have license for that IP core so the USB programming cable needs to be attached at all times, or the board will freeze eventually. Both ARM and Cyclone boards have SD slots so I can change my mind anytime

Anyway, SPI<->SD communication works both on ARM and NIOS now (it's the same C code, save the low-level I/O stuff). Now I need to handle FAT. There is a free library for that but I want to write my own with a bit more buffering as an option. Since it's read-only it shouldn't be much of a problem, it's just that both target CPUs can only do aligned memory accesses and that needs to be worked around for the FAT structure parsing.

VHDL code for ATA i/f is progressing, but slowly. I haven't done any of this before - I doubt programming GAL devices counts

There is a new MKFro available for download. It's a GUI for Makaron T11/1 - both Dreamcast and NAOMI versions.
MKFro requires NET Framework 2.0 or higher. Please direct any questions you might have to it's author slrhui.
