SPUDUMP: 64-byte sample data, the loop point loop, reference player limits - #6
SPUDUMP: three clarifications from bringing nugget's spdplayer in line with the spec. Sample data (0x21) payloads must be a multiple of 64 bytes, since the SPU DMA moves whole 64-byte blocks and a player reads past a shorter payload; the Furnace exporter already pads this way, while pcsx-redux tools/midi2spd pads only to 4 bytes and needs a follow-up.
The loop point (0x03) text now says what "the pattern is set to loop" means: the order table loops from its last entry back to that same entry, which is how midi2spd uses it and how spdplayer now implements it.
A new "Player limits" note lists the reference player's fixed table sizes (256 orders per table, 16 order tables, 256 patterns, 128 samples, 256 macros of up to 8 writes).
… limits.
Sample data payloads must be a multiple of 64 bytes: the SPU DMA moves whole
64-byte blocks, so a player reads past a shorter payload. The loop point text
now says when a pattern is set to loop: the order table loops from its last
entry back to that same entry. A note lists the fixed table sizes of nugget's
spdplayer.
Clarified when playback returns to a loop point: the order table must loop from its last entry back to that same point.
Updated sample-data requirements to specify 64-byte alignment with zero padding, and noted that DMA may read up to 60 bytes beyond a shorter payload.
Documented player capacity limits for order tables, patterns, samples, and macros, including how files exceeding those limits are handled.
SPUDUMP.md clarifies when playback returns to a loop point, specifies sample-data padding and possible DMA reads beyond the payload, and documents fixed capacity limits for spdplayer.
Changes: SPUDUMP Documentation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Format and player details SPUDUMP.md
Clarifies the loop-point condition and sample-data length and padding requirements. Documents possible DMA reads beyond shorter payloads and spdplayer’s fixed capacities. Data beyond those capacities is ignored where it does not fit.
The standard now describes loop-point behavior and a 16-order-table limit that the referenced nugget revision does not appear to implement. Implementers who rely on the text could see differences from the reference player. Reconcile the wording with the player, or pin the intended player revision, before treating the text as authoritative. Nothing at runtime is affected.

Review comments at @SPUDUMP.md:
- Line 90: Update the Loop point (0x03) description to express the condition in
terms of the order table: the current order must be its last entry, and the
table must loop from that entry back to itself. Clarify the sentence structure
while preserving the documented return to the loop point.
- Line 90: Revise the Loop point (0x03) description to match the player’s actual
behavior: do not promise that an order loop returns to the stored stream
position unless the player uses that position when advancing patterns.
- Line 186: Pin the `nugget` reference in the README to the revision used for
this standard, and reconcile the documented order-table capacity with
`spdplayer`’s single retained table by reducing the stated limit to one. Update
the order-table capacity wording in SPUDUMP and keep the documentation
consistent.

- **End of pattern (0x02)**: The payload size is 0. Signals that the current pattern is complete. The player advances to the next entry in the current order table and begins processing the corresponding pattern. If the current order is the last entry, behavior depends on the order table's loop setting.
- **Loop point (0x03)**: The payload size is 0. Marks the current stream position as the loop restart point within the current pattern. When the player reaches the end of pattern (0x02) and the pattern is set to loop, it returns to this position. Only one loop point per pattern is valid; a second loop point overrides the first.
- **Loop point (0x03)**: The payload size is 0. Marks the current stream position as the loop restart point within the current pattern.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
State the loop condition in terms of the order table.
pattern is set to loop is not a defined condition. Lines 97-98 place the loop flag and target on the order table. The phrase that is also makes the sentence ambiguous. State that the current order is the last entry and that the order table loops from that entry back to itself. (github.com)

<excerpt>citeturn0search2 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: 2 months ago; Multiple ordering tables can also be chained within the same scene, and they will be sent to the GPU in the order they were chained. ... But all of the normal C++ memory allocation primitives should be working. ... The TaskQueue class allows for scheduling in advance a series of synchronous or asynchronous tasks that will be executed sequentially, loosely inspired by the JavaScript Promise system.
The `OrderingTable` class can only be sent to the GPU using chaining. While not being a Fragment itself, it can be chained with other fragments. Multiple ordering tables can also be chained within the same scene, and they will be sent to the GPU in the order they were chained. This also means it is essential to double buffer the ordering tables, as they will be sent to the GPU in the background, and the code will continue executing.
Once the ordering table has been sent to the GPU, it will be cleared, and can be reused.
## Memory management
Note that none of the current examples are currently using any memory allocation, unless explicitly showcasing that memory allocation works. The core library itself may allocate memory, when it needs to overspill some heavy usage cases, but it should not be the general case.
Memory allocation in general with such a small amount of available memory is not necessarily a good idea, so it is generally recommended to avoid it. But all of the normal C++ memory allocation primitives should be working. psyqo::Coroutine<int> coroutine;
};
SomeObject container;
void MyScene::createScene() {
container.coroutine = myCoroutine(&container);
container.coroutine.resume();
}
void MyScene::frame() {
if (container.coroutine.done()) {
int result = container.coroutine.value();
// Do something with the result.
}
}
The coroutine object will be in a "done" state after the coroutine has terminated, and can be reused by assigning a new coroutine to it. The `value` method will return the result of the coroutine, and can only be called after the coroutine has terminated. The `resume` method will start the coroutine, or resume it if it has been suspended. The `done` method will return `true` if the coroutine has terminated, and `false` otherwise. The coroutine starts in a suspended state, and must be resumed to begin operations. Resuming a coroutine that has already terminated will have no effect. Resuming a coroutine that is already running will likely end up in corruption of the coroutine state, and will likely result in a crash.
### Task queue
If the above coroutine system is too expensive, there is a less capable but more efficient way to still have a readable asynchronous code. The TaskQueue class allows for scheduling in advance a series of synchronous or asynchronous tasks that will be executed sequentially, loosely inspired by the JavaScript Promise system. There is a an example showcasing its usage.
This system does not allow for loops or conditions, but will consume less resources overall than coroutines. It can be beneficial to use this system if the code is not expected to be very complex.

<excerpt>citeturn0search3 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: 4 weeks ago; The `pcdrv.h` wrappers return v1 when v0 is 0, else -1. `ret` is the host's result: a file descriptor, a byte count, a new position, or a negative value for failure. ...

Host -> PS1:
TYPE | Name | Handled in
--- | --- | ---
`0x01` | PING | HALTED; also SET_BAUD windows
`0x02` | READ_MEM | HALTED
`0x03` | WRITE_MEM | HALTED
`0x04` | GET_REGS | HALTED
`0x05` | SET_REG | HALTED
`0x06` | SET_BP | HALTED
`0x07` | CLR_BP | HALTED
`0x08` | LOAD | HALTED
`0x09` | RUN | HALTED -> RUNNING
`0x0A` | CONT | HALTED -> RUNNING
`0x0B` | STOP | HALTED: no-op, no reply. RUNNING: stops the target (section 5)
`0x0C` | STEP | Reserved; answers `ERROR(EBADCMD)`
`0x0D` | SET_BAUD | HALTED
PS1 -> host:
TYPE | Name | Payload
--- | --- | ---
`0x40` | ACK | none
`0x41` | DATA | READ_MEM data
`0x42` | REGS | GET_REGS data
`0x43` | PONG | `[proto_ver:u16][caps:u16][bios_fletcher32:u32]`; `[proto_ver:u16]` in the SET_BAUD windows
`0x4F` | ERROR | `[errcode:u16]`
`0x80` | HELLO | `[proto_ver:u16][caps:u16][bios_fletcher32:u32]`
`0x81` | STOPPED | Stop event
`proto_ver` is `MON_PROTO_VER` = `0x0002`.
`caps` bits:
Bit | Name | Meaning
--- | --- | ---
0 (`0x0001`) | `MON_CAP_LZ4` | WRITE_MEM and LOAD accept `MON_LZ4` (section 6)
1 (`0x0002`) | `MON_CAP_STOP` | STOP is read while RUNNING (section 5). Set on SIO1 and FT232H
2 (`0x0004`) | `MON_CAP_SLOT` | The monitor is entered from patch slot 4 of the kernel exception handler, ahead of the handler chains (section 11). Set only when the slot was patched
The other bits are 0.
* The IRQ behind the interrupt the target stopped on is left pending and unacknowledged in `I_STAT`. After CONT the kernel and the target handle it as usual.
* A STOP that arrives after the target has already stopped for another reason is read in HALTED, where it is a no-op with no reply (section 6).
Command loop, per frame:
1. Hunt for a frame (section 2.1 or 2.4), read TYPE and LEN.
2. WRITE_MEM and LOAD: decode the payload straight into target memory, then verify the checksum (section 6). A frame with LEN < 4 is drained and answers `ERROR(EBADLEN)` whatever the checksum. With `MON_LZ4` set, the payload is fed to the LZ4 decoder instead; a monitor built without LZ4 drains the frame and answers `ERROR(EBADCMD)` whatever the checksum.
3. Anything else: buffer up to 16 payload words, drain the rest, verify the checksum.
4. Checksum failure -> `ERROR(ECKSUM)`. Otherwise LEN > 16 -> `ERROR(EBADLEN)`. Otherwise dispatch. Unknown TYPE -> `ERROR(EBADCMD)`.
Apart from the WRITE_MEM and LOAD minimums, payload length is not checked against the opcode. A command frame shorter than its layout is dispatched with stale words from the previous command in the missing fields.
## 6. Commands
Each entry: request payload -> response. Offsets are in words.
Command | Request payload | Response
--- | --- | ---
PING | none (payload ignored) | `PONG [proto_ver:u16][caps:u16][bios_fletcher32:u32]`
READ_MEM | `[addr:u32][len:u32]` | One or more DATA frames
WRITE_MEM | `[addr:u32][len:u32][bytes]` | ACK, `ERROR(EBADLEN)`, `ERROR(ECKSUM)`
LOAD | `[addr:u32][len:u32][bytes]` | ACK, `ERROR(EBADLEN)`, `ERROR(ECKSUM)`
WRITE_MEM, LOAD with `MON_LZ4` | `[dest:u32][rawlen:u32][clen:u32][off:u32][nbytes:u32][bytes]` | ACK, `ERROR(EBADLEN)`, `ERROR(EBADSTATE)`, `ERROR(ECKSUM)`, `ERROR(EDECODE)`, `ERROR(EBADCMD)`
GET_REGS | none | `REGS [38 x u32]`
SET_REG | `[idx:u16][value:u32]` | ACK, `ERROR(EBADREG)`, `ERROR(EBADSTATE)`
SET_BP | `[kind:u16][addr:u32][mask:u32]` | ACK, `ERROR(EBADCMD)`
CLR_BP | `[kind:u16]` | ACK
RUN | `[pc:u32][gp:u32][sp:u32]` | ACK, then RUNNING
CONT | none | ACK then RUNNING, or `ERROR(EBADSTATE)`
STOP | none | None in HALTED; STOPPED INTERRUPT in RUNNING (section 5)
SET_BAUD | `[reload:u16]` | Section 2.5
10.. | bytes | `nbytes` bytes, packed low byte first
LEN = 10 + ceil(nbytes / 2). Bytes past `nbytes` in the payload are ignored.
* `off == 0` starts a new stream at `dest`, dropping any stream in flight. Any other `off` must equal the byte count the open stream has consumed, else `ERROR(EBADSTATE)`. `dest` is used only from the `off == 0` frame.
* LEN < 10, `nbytes` larger than the payload holds, or `off + nbytes > clen` -> `ERROR(EBADLEN)`. The frame is drained in every case.
* A checksum mismatch answers `ERROR(ECKSUM)` in place of any other error the frame produced.
* Bytes are fed to the decoder as they arrive, before the checksum is known, and the decoder writes straight to `dest`: there is no staging buffer. The match history is the output already in memory, so a match reaches at most 64 KiB back and never before `dest`.
* Every frame is answered on its own. The frame that brings the consumed count to `clen` also ends the block and checks that exactly `rawlen` bytes were written, else `ERROR(EDECODE)`.
RUN and CONT both clear the halted context, so there is none in HALTED before the first stop or after a `break 4, 1` entry (section 11).
SET_REG:
* `idx` indexes the REGS table (0..37). `idx > 37` -> `ERROR(EBADREG)`.
* With no halted context -> `ERROR(EBADSTATE)`.
* `idx == 0` is accepted and ignored. `idx == 35` sets the monitor's copy of BadVaddr only. `idx == 37` sets the resume PC.
SET_BP, CLR_BP: section 11.
RUN:
* Writes the current thread's register frame: all GPRs 0, then `gp`, `sp`, and `fp = sp`; resume PC = `pc`; HI = LO = 0; Cause = 0; SR = `0x40000404` (CU2, IM2, IEp).
* Clears the halted context, sends ACK, flushes the instruction cache if memory was written since the last resume, and returns from the exception into `pc`.
* Accepted in HALTED whether or not a program was stopped.
CONT: resumes the halted context, including any SET_REG changes, after the same conditional instruction cache flush as RUN. It clears the halted context as RUN does: GET_REGS, SET_REG and CONT see none until the next stop. With no halted context -> `ERROR(EBADSTATE)`. The resume PC for each stop reason is in section 11.
STOP: in HALTED it is a no-op and sends no reply. A STOP the host sent while the target was stopping for another reason arrives in HALTED, after the STOPPED; an ACK there would match no command the host is waiting on. While RUNNING, STOP stops the target on links with `MON_CAP_STOP` (section 5).
`code1 = (a >> 16) & 0x3FF
code2 = (a >> 6) & 0x3FF
`
code1 | code2 | Meaning, by host convention
--- | --- | ---
4 | 0 | Program exit, exit code in `a0`
0 | `0x101`-`0x107` | PCDRV call
any other | any other | Plain breakpoint
Exit: the host reads the code from `a0` (GET_REGS index 4). CONT would re-execute the `break 4, 0` and stop again. Issued by `PCexit()`, also in `common/kernel/pcdrv.h`.
PCDRV calls, as issued by `common/kernel/pcdrv.h`:
code2 | Call | Arguments | Result
--- | --- | --- | ---
`0x101` | PCinit | - | v0 = ret
`0x102` | PCcreat | a0 = name, a2 = mode (the wrapper passes 0) | v0 = 0, v1 = ret
`0x103` | PCopen | a0 = name, a2 = flags | v0 = 0, v1 = ret
`0x104` | PCclose | a0 = fd | v0 = ret
`0x105` | PCread | a1 = fd, a2 = len, a3 = buf | v0 = 0, v1 = ret
`0x106` | PCwrite | a1 = fd, a2 = len, a3 = buf | v0 = 0, v1 = ret
`0x107` | PClseek | a0 = fd, a2 = offset, a3 = whence | v0 = 0, v1 = ret
The `pcdrv.h` wrappers return v1 when v0 is 0, else -1. `ret` is the host's result: a file descriptor, a byte count, a new position, or a negative value for failure. For the calls whose result is in v1, a non-zero v0 also makes the wrapper return -1.
Serving a PCDRV call from HALTED:
1. GET_REGS; take a0-a3 from indices 4-7.
2. PCcreat, PCopen: READ_MEM the name at a0 up to its NUL.
3. PCwrite: READ_MEM `len` bytes at `buf`. PCread: perform the read on the host, then WRITE_MEM the bytes to `buf`.
4. SET_REG 2 (v0) and SET_REG 3 (v1) with the result, as the table gives.
5. SET_REG 37 (PC) to `epc + 4`, past the `break`.
6. CONT.
A WRITE_MEM made while serving a call makes the CONT flush the instruction cache (section 6).
## 9. REGS layout
REGS is 38 u32 values (LEN 76), in gdb g-packet order. SET_REG `idx` uses the same indices.
Index | Register | Source
--- | --- | ---
0-31 | r0-r31 | Saved GPRs (r0 is 0)
32 | SR | Saved cop0r12
33 | LO | Saved LO
34 | HI | Saved HI
35 | BadVaddr | cop0r8 captured at the last ADEL/ADES fault; 0 after any other stop
36 | Cause | Saved cop0r13
37 | PC | Resume PC of the halted context (see section 7 for its value per reason)
The R3000A has no FPU; a gdb bridge fills gdb's FP slots with 0.
## 10. Error codes
`ERROR [errcode:u16]`:
Code | Name | Sent when
--- | --- | ---
`0x01` | EBADCMD | Unknown TYPE (including STEP, and `MON_LZ4` on any opcode but WRITE_MEM and LOAD); SET_BP kind > 3; SET_BAUD on a link without a rate; `MON_LZ4` on a monitor built without LZ4
`0x02` | EBADSTATE | SET_REG or CONT with no halted context; LZ4 slice with `off != 0` that does not continue the open stream
`0x03` | EBADADDR | Defined, never sent
`0x04` | EBADREG | SET_REG idx > 37
`0x05` | EBADLEN | Command payload over 16 words (not WRITE_MEM/LOAD); WRITE_MEM/LOAD frame under 4 words; SET_BAUD reload 0; LZ4 frame under 10 words, `nbytes` beyond the payload, or `off + nbytes > clen`
`0x06` | ECKSUM | Checksum mismatch on a command frame (on SIO1 and FT232H, also a CKSUM of 0)
`0x07` | ENOFD | Defined, never sent
`0x08` | EDECODE | LZ4 stream complete but not exactly `rawlen` bytes decoded
After an ERROR the monitor is back in the command loop. There is no NAK and no retransmission: the host decides whether to resend.
## 11. Breakpoints, stops and stepping
Breakpoints use the cop0 debug unit: one exec breakpoint (BPC cop0r3, mask BPCM cop0r11) and one data breakpoint (BDA cop0r5, mask BDAM cop0r9), both controlled by DCIC (cop0r7). No instruction is patched, so breakpoints work on read-only memory.
SET_BP `kind`:
kind | Type | Registers | DCIC bits set
--- | --- | --- | ---
0 | Exec | BPC = addr, BPCM = mask | DE, PCE, TR, KD, UD
1 | Data read | BDA = addr, BDAM = mask | DE, DAE, TR, KD, UD, DR
2 | Data write | BDA = addr, BDAM = mask | DE, DAE, TR, KD, UD, DW
3 | Data read/write | BDA = addr, BDAM = mask | DE, DAE, TR, KD, UD, DR, DW
For kinds 1-3 the monitor sets `kind * DR`: bit 0 of kind selects DR, bit 1 selects DW. Wrappers are in `common/kernel/openbios.h`; each returns 0, -1 or NULL without calling anything when OpenBIOS is absent or older than the version that added it.
Index | Call | Version | Returns
--- | --- | --- | ---
0 | `getOpenBiosApiVersion()` | 0 | the API version (1)
1 | `getOpenBiosBuildId()` | 0 | the build id
2 | `getMonitor()` | 1 | nonzero if the monitor is built in
3 | `installExceptionSlot(slot, fn)` | 1 | 0, or nonzero with nothing written
4 | `getCodeCave(&size)` | 1 | `0x8000C160`, size `0x1E20`
* `installExceptionSlot` takes slot 1 to 4. If the slot is four nops it writes `lui at, hi / ori at, at, lo / jalr at / nop` calling `fn`, with interrupts masked, then flushes the instruction cache.
* The code cave is `0x8000C160..0x8000DF80`. OpenBIOS never uses it, and its link scripts fail the build if its kernel data would reach it.
* The dispatcher does not bound `t1`: an index past the table of the running version jumps through whatever follows it. Check the version first.

Resolve the loop-point mismatch with the reference player.
In spdplayer.c at the current nuggetmain revision 175f329db302892e4aac146a22778d1876cae48f, PKT_LOOP_POINT stores the stream position in s_loopPoint. However, PKT_END_PATTERN calls advanceOrder(), which reloads the target pattern and clears s_loopPoint without using it. A self-targeting order loop therefore restarts the pattern instead of returning to the documented loop point.
Pin the intended nugget revision. If it has this control flow, update spdplayer or revise the SPUDUMP contract.

Review comment at @SPUDUMP.md at line 90:
Revise the Loop point (0x03) description to match the player’s actual behavior:
do not promise that an order loop returns to the stored stream position unless
the player uses that position when advancing patterns.

Pin the nugget revision and reconcile the order-table capacity.
README.md links to the unpinned nuggetmain branch. At commit 175f329db302892e4aac146a22778d1876cae48f, spdplayer stores one order table. Each 0x10 packet overwrites s_orderTable, s_orderFlags, and s_orderLoopTarget. Therefore, multi-subsong files with multiple order-table packets cannot use the documented capacity of 16 order tables.
Pin the nugget revision used for this standard, then reduce the documented limit or update spdplayer to retain 16 order tables.

Pin the `nugget` reference in the README to the revision used for this standard,
and reconcile the documented order-table capacity with `spdplayer`’s single
retained table by reducing the stated limit to one. Update the order-table

SPUDUMP: three clarifications from bringing nugget's spdplayer in line with the spec. Sample data (0x21) payloads must be a multiple of 64 bytes, since the SPU DMA moves whole 64-byte blocks and a player reads past a shorter payload; the Furnace exporter already pads this way, while pcsx-redux tools/midi2spd pads only to 4 bytes and needs a follow-up.
The loop point (0x03) text now says what "the pattern is set to loop" means: the order table loops from its last entry back to that same entry, which is how midi2spd uses it and how spdplayer now implements it.
A new "Player limits" note lists the reference player's fixed table sizes (256 orders per table, 16 order tables, 256 patterns, 128 samples, 256 macros of up to 8 writes).
