Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for mamedev/mame focusing on business value, technical achievements, and maintainability: - Recompiler architecture and opcode customization: Enabled recompiling CPU cores to define their own opcode descriptions, freeing cores from a shared base description and decoupling the recompiler front-end from libemu. This improves testability, promotes experimentation, and tightens future integration with analysis tooling. - E132XS FE and recompiler optimizations: Rewrote the E1 instruction analyser for the E132XS FE path to improve analysis quality and reduce redundant code; enabled the E132XS recompiler to skip calculations for unused condition flags, reducing overhead in hot paths. - SHARC recompiler and interpreter enhancements: Added sign extension and fixed-point CLIP and carry-aware add/sub operations; enhanced ALU emulation with improved handling of AOS, COPYSIGN, and related flags; broader recompiler improvements and logging glue for UML paths. - Core reliability fixes: PowerPC floating-point comparison flags corrected across backends, addressing long-standing inconsistencies and backend-specific breakages. - Observability and configuration stability: Improved UML logging for recompiler instruction analysis; build configuration improvements and C++20 compatibility fixes to increase portability and reduce integration risk. Also prepared 64-bit groundwork and memory optimizations (string dedup) for future scale. Impact: These changes improve correctness and performance of dynamic recompilation across architectures, enhance testability and maintainability, and deliver clearer observability into the recompiler’s operation, enabling faster debugging, verification, and business value delivery for emulation accuracy and stability.
