[Patch] Core Emulation

[HarryTuttle]

Another bunch of miscellaneous patches.

<ConsoleDebugger.cpp>
- Fixed typo: "loststate"->"loadstate"

<Model3.cpp>
- Modified statusCycles for "fvipers2": faster speed in attract sequence plus fix missing/garbled textures
- Modified statusCycles for "swtrilgya": game runs at proper speed
- Added/modified game patches:
1) "scud" - unlocked the debug test menu (from info found in this forum)
2) "swtrilgy" - (from MAME) fix inaccessible test menu, from there you can disable "lever feedback" check and pass boot test
3) "eca" - (from MAME) fix to pass the "cabinet network error"
- Removed following game patches that do not seem to impact game stability (I may restore them just in case):
1) "scudp", "lemans24", "lostwsga", "vs298", "harley", "harleyb"

<Main.cpp>
- Added high-resolution timer in place of SDL_GetTicks() to properly throttle at 60 fps (or whatever frame rate you specify in the source).

I'll push the high precision clock timing later today
i was going to code that myself, but just never got that far
Accuracy using the c++ chrono methods might vary a lot between platforms .. but can't be any worse than the SDL timer ;p

Yeah, I gathered some info from here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13263277/difference-between-stdsystem-clock-and-stdsteady-clock about the "chrono" class and "steady_clock" seems to be the preferred choice.

I've tried "system_clock" but is not so precise.

Does it also fix in Harley where it doesn't let you do the Hidden Region Test code?

I missed this... Can you explain better please?

Do you mean the country selection screen ? Because it works for me.

Edit:

From the region code Supermodel doc:

Code: Select all

HARLEY DAVIDSON LA RIDERS (Model 3 Step 2)
Go into the test mode, select game assignments up, up, down, down, view, music, view, music.


Where up/down is the gear shifter

Been trying out this

<Main.cpp>
- Added high-resolution timer in place of SDL_GetTicks() to properly throttle at 60 fps (or whatever frame rate you specify in the source).

Unfortunately accuracy seems bad (at least under windows) I don't know what std::chrono uses internally

[HarryTuttle]

Wow 156.7 fps...

I forgot to say that in "supermodel.ini" i disabled VSync, and left only Throttle.

Vsync was never a good choice, at least for me, because my PC is not enough powerful to sustain 60fps constantly in every game, and even if it was sometime, it always stuttered. However if put a game in pause (alt+p) it's stuck to 60fps.

Have you tried substituting the clock (http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono)?

[Ian]

Skylake is a beast :p 157 is fairly unplayable lol
No I haven't, I'll give it a spin.

[Ian]

Well
I replaced it with high_resolution_clock .. and it was the same >_<
It turns out it's just an alias for system clock
Apparently they fixed this in vs2015 ..

I see... I don't use VS, I use MINGW in MSYS2 environment. I took for granted that should have worked with every compiler.
