The history of Musashi for anyone who might be interested:
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Musashi was born out of sheer boredom.
|
||
|
|
I needed something to code, and so having had fun with a few of the emulators
|
||
|
|
around, I decided to try my hand at CPU emulation.
|
||
|
|
I had owned an Amiga for many years and had done some assembly coding on it so
|
||
|
|
I figured it would be the ideal chip to cut my teeth on.
|
||
|
|
Had I known then how much work was involved in emulating a chip like this, I
|
||
|
|
may not have even started ;-)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
15-Jul-2013: Musashi license changed to MIT.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
10-Jun-2002: Musashi 3.4 released
|
||
|
|
- Added various undocumented m68k features thanks to Bart
|
||
|
|
Trzynadlowski's experiments.
|
||
|
|
See http://dynarec.com/~bart/files/68knotes.txt for details.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed a bug that caused privilege violation and illegal
|
||
|
|
instruction exceptions to stack the wrong PC value.
|
||
|
|
- Added emulation of address errors (Note: this only works
|
||
|
|
in 68000 mode. All other CPUs require a LOT of overhead
|
||
|
|
to emulate this. I'm not sure if I'll implement them or not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
27-Jan-2001: Musashi 3.3 released
|
||
|
|
- Fixed problem when displaying negative numbers in disassembler
|
||
|
|
- Fixed cpu type selector - was allowing 020 instructions to be
|
||
|
|
disassembled when in 000 mode.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed opcode jumptable generator (ambiguous operators in the
|
||
|
|
test for f-line ops)
|
||
|
|
- Fixed signed/unsigned problem in divl and mull opcodes (not
|
||
|
|
sure if this was causing an error but best to be sure)
|
||
|
|
- Cleaned up the naming scheme for the opcode handlers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
14-Aug-2000: Musashi 3.2 released
|
||
|
|
- Fixed RTE bug that killed the program counter when in m68020
|
||
|
|
mode.
|
||
|
|
- Minor fixes in negx and nbcd.
|
||
|
|
- renamed d68k.c to m68kdasm.c and merged d68k.h into m68k.h.
|
||
|
|
d68k_read_xxx() instructions have been renamed to
|
||
|
|
m68k_read_xxx_disassembler().
|
||
|
|
- Rewrote exception processing and fixed 68020 stack frame
|
||
|
|
problems.
|
||
|
|
- FINALLY fixed the mull and divl instructions.
|
||
|
|
- Added 64-bit safe code fixes.
|
||
|
|
- Added 64-bit optimizations (these will only be ANSI compliant
|
||
|
|
under c9x, and so to use them you must turn on M68K_USE_64_BIT
|
||
|
|
in m68kconf.h).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
28-May-2000: Musashi 3.1 released
|
||
|
|
- Fixed bug in m68k_get_reg() that retrieved the wrong value for
|
||
|
|
the status register.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed register bug in movec.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed cpu type comparison problem that caused indexed
|
||
|
|
addressing modes to be incorrectly interpreted when in m68ec020
|
||
|
|
mode.
|
||
|
|
- Added code to speed up busy waiting on some branch instructions.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed some bfxxx opcode bugs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
05-Apr-2000: Musashi 3.0 released
|
||
|
|
- Major code overhaul.
|
||
|
|
- Rewrote code generator program and changed the format of
|
||
|
|
m68k_in.c.
|
||
|
|
- Added support for m68ec020.
|
||
|
|
- Removed timing from the opcode handlers.
|
||
|
|
- Added correct timing for m68000, m68010, and m68020.
|
||
|
|
Note: 68020 timing is the cache timing from the manual.
|
||
|
|
- Removed the m68k_peek_xxx() and m68k_poke_xxx() instructions and
|
||
|
|
replaced them with m68k_get_reg() and m68k_set_reg().
|
||
|
|
- Added support for function codes.
|
||
|
|
- Revamped m68kconf.h to be easier to configure and more powerful.
|
||
|
|
- Added option to separate immediate and normal reads.
|
||
|
|
- Added support for (undocumented) m68000 instruction prefetch.
|
||
|
|
- Rewrote indexed addressing mode handling.
|
||
|
|
- Rewrote interrupt handling.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed a masking bug for m68k_get_reg() when requesting the PC.
|
||
|
|
- Moved the instruction table sorting routine to m68kmake.c so
|
||
|
|
that it is invoked at compile time rather than at runtime.
|
||
|
|
- Rewrote the exception handling routines to support different
|
||
|
|
stack frames (needed for m68020 emulation).
|
||
|
|
- Rewrote faster status register and condition code flag handling
|
||
|
|
functions / macros.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed function code handling to fetch from program space when
|
||
|
|
using pc-relative addressing.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed initial program counter and stack pointer fetching on
|
||
|
|
reset (loads from program space now).
|
||
|
|
- A lot of code cleanup.
|
||
|
|
- LOTS of bugfixes (especially in the m68020 code).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
