I'd like to think this commit marks the end of the first phase
of ANESE's development. It's been a long road, but ANESE is
finally at a point where I'm mostly happy with it.
ANESE sure as hell isn't perfect, but hey, it's pretty good!
The core code is pretty clean, the UI code is... acceptable, but
most importantly, ANESE actually plays my favorite NES games!
There is still some work to be done before I'd be comfortable
giving ANESE a v1.0.0 release, but what I have here is still
pretty great.
Let's call this ANESE v0.9.0 :)
-------
So, what next?
Well, contrary to what I said in some earlier commits, I think i'll
continue to work on ANESE a little bit more!
Specifically, i'd like to rewrite the 6502 emulation.
My current implementation is... okay.
It's instruction-level cycle accurate, but I don't think that's
good enough. It really should be sub-instruction level accurate.
Odds are the added accuracy will fix _a lot_ of bugs.
Aside from accuracy though, I have another reason to do a rewrite...
As a Waterloo student, I have to do a Work Term Report on some
technical project i've worked on recently. ANESE is one such project.
Since the report isn't designed to be very long, I'd limit my scope
to just a small aspect of ANESE: the 6502 emulator.
Yes, I could just write the report on how I arrived at my current
implementation, but I think it would be cool to attempt a cleaner
rewrite, and compare and contrast the two versions.
So yeah, stay tuned! I might also post the writeup (once I get
around to it)
I have no idea what i'm doing lol.
I'm starting with the noise channel, since I think that might be the
easiest to do?
I _think_ I implemented it properly, since sniffing the output gives
reasonable volumes, but I don't really understand how to generate
sound waves from it yet...
