Aquaplus P/ECE emulator (EPSON S1C33209 SoC, S1C33000 CPU core) by
|
|
Autch. The repository ships an SDL3 standalone, a headless runner and
|
|
the libretro core, all built from the same core, soc, board and system
|
|
sources (src/libretro/CMakeLists.txt:17-57).
|
|
|
|
The content is a P/ECE Flash Image (.pfi): a 40-byte PFIHEADER carrying
|
|
the SYSTEMINFO block, then the raw flash contents at the stored offset
|
|
(src/pfi_format.h:22-47). retro_get_system_info sets need_fullpath to
|
|
false, so the frontend hands the file over as a memory blob
|
|
(src/libretro/piece_libretro.cpp:225-233). retro_load_game checks the
|
|
PFI signature and SYSTEMINFO.size == 32, sizes SRAM and flash from
|
|
SYSTEMINFO, copies the flash bytes into an SST39VF flash device and
|
|
starts the CPU at the reset vector read from flash base 0xC00000
|
|
(src/libretro/piece_libretro.cpp:271-362,
|
|
src/debug/pfi_loader_blob.cpp:20-91). The P/ECE kernel, its PFFS file
|
|
system and the installed applications (.pex) all live in that flash
|
|
image. The bus maps internal IRAM, external SRAM, external flash and
|
|
I/O only (src/core/bus.hpp:75-79 and src/core/bus.hpp:239); the core
|
|
carries no embedded boot code, and retro_set_environment registers
|
|
core options and nothing else (src/libretro/piece_libretro.cpp:204-218).
|
|
No environment call asks for the system directory.
|
|
|
|
RETRO_MEMORY_SAVE_RAM exposes the whole flash as a PFI image (original
|
|
header, then the flash bytes, re-copied sector by sector when the
|
|
kernel writes), so the frontend's .srm is itself a bootable .pfi
|
|
(src/libretro/piece_libretro.cpp:334-352, 538-564, 614-624). A stored
|
|
.srm with a valid header replaces the flash on the first frame
|
|
(src/libretro/piece_libretro.cpp:398-420).
|
|
|
|
A .pfi is produced from the official Aquaplus PieceSystem 1.20 updater
|
|
with the bundled mkpfi. mkpfi checks the "Piece Kernel Program"
|
|
signature at offset 8 of all.bin, writes the boot vector 0x00C02004
|
|
into sector 0, leaves sector 1 blank and copies all.bin from sector 2
|
|
(src/tools/mkpfi.c:14, 88-95, 115-135). A fresh image boots to the
|
|
launcher with startup.pex, date.pex and gamepad.pex installed; games
|
|
are added with pfar.
|
|
|
|
The .info reports display_version 0.3; the code announces 0.1.
