UniPCemu build 2022/09/10 12:42 is now live!

A small update this time.

UniPCemu changes:

• Fixed Android storage permissions.
• Moved more memory calculations to the precalculated memory area.
• More RAM optimizations.
• Further optimized VRAM memory address decoding.
• Optimized memory addresses to be valid.
• Cleaned up some old MMU memory read caching code.
• Optimized memory write cache invalidation.
• Increased memory block alignment to 4KB.
• Fixed there to be properly 256 clients available on the packet server.
• Fixed the first client MAC address of the packet server to be properly usable.
• Made the packet server client and MAC address allocation be automatically ascending for available clients.
• Improved the description of the MACaddress field in the settings file.
• Fixed modem messages having priority over data being received over the phone line.
• Made the direct serial outputs to be using more calculations instead of if-else constructs.
• Improved modem hangup to report NO CARRIER if actually hanging up.
• Improved Hayes command 'A' for answering an active ring to not add an OK after connecting to the remote host with said CONNECT message.
• Fully stop the TCP server if hanging up to fix any dangling connections.
• Resized some MMU variables to be faster 64-bit.
• Allow packet server to be combined with direct serial support on the used serial port.
• Reversed the async control character map to be handled in the receiving direction.
• Properly reversed the LCP configure-request parameters to affect the receiving of data from the other side.
• Fixed serial mouse port allocation to be as it should (not allocating a third port it shouldn't).
• Added a packet server setting to enforce a subnet mask to be used if not specified by the clients connecting.
• Added PSP WiFi support in the settings menu.
• Replaced the memory viewer PSP face buttons with special glyphs for UniPCemu only (using reserved UTF codepoints U+100000 and up).
• Improved default subnet mask for packet server clients of 255.255.255.0.
• Added support for PPP to be used without credentials during text-mode login, but requiring authenticating during the PPP phase instead.
• Fixed PPP server-side CHAP.
• Improved IPv4 broadcasting to stay local to the host network and client network respectively.
• Fixed PPP FCS issues.
• Fixed PPP LCP settings effecting the correct side of the conversation.
• Fixed releasing IP addresses of PPP clients.
• Seperated server PAP vs CHAP handling completely.
• Fixed CHAP response message to be of the proper length instead of an invalid NULL byte string.
• Fixed CHAP packet header identifier validation.
• Fixed IPXCP autoconfiguration issues.
• Made IPXCP allocate IPX addresses from the client's MAC address onwards, according to IPX address allocation specifications.
• Made IPXCP default to the first network (network number 1) when not using network numbers.
• Improved invalid protocol handling.
• Fixed PPP protocol reject calling FCS generation correctly.

Common emulator framework:

• Added support to the TCP server to listen through socket sets if an inbound connection that's to be accepted is present.
• Updated the tools to the latest commit.
• Added basic SDL_net support on the PSP.
• Implemented PSP network connection support.
• Disconnect WiFi before terminating all threads, to prevent any hang condition.
• Added support to the WiFi connection to detect the used IP address on a PSP.
• Allowed the setting of the access point location on the screen during selection.
• Added an access point label to the access point selection.
• Fixed the missing loading of the net modules on the PSP.
• Improved WiFi connection dialog display of the mapped buttons.
• Fixed WiFi termination access point to not display a message anymore.
• Improved WiFi connection to take the cancel button into account for aborting loops.
• Cleaned up the WiFi active connection disconnecting detection to not show messages on the screen.
• Extended the text surface character set to 32-bits code points.
• Added four characters to the UTF-8 codepoints in the reserved area for the four PSP buttons as placeholders.
• Implemented the font glyphs for the custom fonts for the reserved range.
• Fixed printf with UTF-8 code points past 255.
• Fixed rendering of the custom UTF-8 code points.
• Added text defines for printing the custom UTF-8 code points.
• Modified the custom WiFi circle button description to use the new glyph provided by the new UTF-8 code points.
• Added the missing details row to the PSP WiFi connection selection.
• Improved screen clearing and positions for various PSP WiFi screen updates.
• Initialize the locks as soon as it's possible.
• Properly unload the PSP net modules when loaded.
• Made TCP module unloading on the PSP become thread-safe.
• Added support to compile PSP executables with network support enabled but without SDL_net.
• Improved duplicate logging initialization during PSP init.
• Initialize required modules when initializing log and TCP support.

In other words, various small bugfixes, packet server improvements and bugfixes and the PSP now has full SDL_net-based network support!
