Feature request: Setup for Analogizer in Jotego Cores
rp-jt opened this issue · comments
Hello!
In Jotego, we have just added compatibility with the Pocket Analogizer device, however, for setting up video and controller options we have decided to use a configuration file containing a 32-bit number.
To create this file, we have created a setup tool in the form of a python script. As it is explained here, the generated file (crtcfg.bin) has to be added manually to the SD card in the path Assets/jtpatreon/common for it to be read by the cores.
We thought it could be interesting for this feature to be added to the Updater if possible.
This configuration file can be divided in three different sections: Analog Video (12 bits), Snac Controllers (8 bits) and the rest (12 bits, now unused).
In the Analog Video section, the values corresponding to the different options is:
| Value | Option |
|---|---|
| 0x820 | RBGS (SCART) |
| 0xC08 | RGsB |
| 0xA08 | YPbPr (Component video) |
| 0x900 | Y/C NTSC (SVideo, Composite video) |
| 0x980 | Y/C PAL (SVideo, Composite video) |
| 0x801 | Scandoubler RGBHV (SCANLINES 0%) |
| 0x803 | Scandoubler RGBHV (SCANLINES 25%) |
| 0x805 | Scandoubler RGBHV (SCANLINES 50%) |
| 0x807 | Scandoubler RGBHV (SCANLINES 75%) |
| 0x000 | Disable Analog Video |
As for the SNAC Controllers:
| Value | Option |
|---|---|
| 0x00 | None |
| 0x01 | DB15 Normal |
| 0x02 | NES |
| 0x03 | SNES |
| 0x04 | PCE 2BTN/6BTN |
| 0x06 | PCE Multitap |
This way, the final file named crtcfg.bin should have a binary number in the form: Video-SNAC-000000000000, placed in Assets/jtpatreon/common .
Let me know what you think and if there might be any doubt about it.
Thanks!
i think to make it easier on my end, i will port the python to native c# code and just integrate it directly into pupdate. I just tinkered a bit with executing python from within c# and it's a huge pain in the ass lol
if the values in the maps ever change or additional ones are added, i can always just update to match
Thanks @mattpannella , that sounds like a good option
released with 3.11.0
