Tales of Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia Legends now have working musics with
DSPHLE. Some other games with the same symptoms (missing instruments) should
probably be fixed by that change too.
Most of the InvalidateICache calls are for a 32 bytes block: this is the
number of bytes invalidated by PowerPC dcb*/icb* instructions. Profiling
shows that a lot of CPU time is spent checking if there are any JIT blocks
covered by these 32 bytes (using std::map::lower_bound).
This patch adds a bitset containing the state of every 32 bytes block in
RAM (JIT cached/not JIT cached). Using that, a 32 bytes InvalidateICache
can check in the bitset if any JIT block might be invalidated. A bitset
check is a lot faster than an std::map::lower_bound operation, improving
performance of JitCache::InvalidateICache by more than 100%.
Some practical numbers:
* Xenoblade Chronicles (PAL)
56.04FPS -> 59.28FPS (+5.78%)
* The Last Story (PAL)
30.9FPS -> 32.83FPS (+6.25%)
* Super Mario Galaxy (PAL)
59.76FPS -> 62.46FPS (+4.52%)
This function still takes more time than it should - more optimization in
this area might be possible (specializing for 32 bytes blocks to avoid
useless memcpy, for example).
Very useful to compare performance between two builds, check the impact of
a configuration option, etc. FPS log is stored in User/Logs/fps.txt and is
reset each time you launch a game. Only enabled if you check the "Log FPS
to file" option in your graphics settings.
Could be improved a bit: currently logs only every 1s (so you can't really
see small variations), maybe output more infos to the fps.txt like
average/stddev (but Excel/Libreoffice/Google Docs can compute that easily
too).
These merges, while in theory improving emulation accuracy, cause issues
in other parts of the emulator based on invalid assumptions. memcard-delay
fixed some of these issues in the EXI memcard code, but several other
problems still exist and I don't have the time to debug that right now.
This was not needed for most games before because the external exception was
itself delayed. aram-dma-fixes changed that and made the external exception
happen a lot quicker, breaking games that relied on the memcard operations
delay.
Fixes issue 5583.
The GL EFB cache did not clamp correctly the coordinates when computing
the rectangle it needed to cache, leading to negative values being used
as indexes and often crashes.
Fixes issue 5510.
This branch fixes the ARAM DMA state tracking and makes external exceptions
timing more accurate.
Fixes WWE: Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 (issue 617)
Fixes Knockout Kings 2003 (issue 4904)
Fixes Spider-Man (GC)
MTMSR is executed.
This commits fixes issue 617. WWE Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 are now playable
with Dolphin.
The changes are not implemented for JitIL yet.
This branch reduces the number of useless state flushes in the video
emulation layer by checking whether a BP/XF change will have an effect
or not. Greatly reduces the number of GL calls per frame.
Thanks to degasus for his help!
When a game writes the same value that was already configured to a BP
register, Dolphin previously flushed the GPU pipeline and reconfigured
the internal video state (calling SetScissor/SetLineWidth/SetDepthMode).
Some of these useless writes still need to perform actions, for example
writes to the EFB copy trigger or the texture preload registers (which
need to reload the texture from memory).
This allows users to easily check whether their Wii dump is corrupted or not
using the Dolphin properties window. Right click on a game, Properties,
Filesystem tab, then right click on the game partition and select "Check
partition integrity".
This may have some false negatives due to the unused clusters heuristic (see
the comment in VolumeWiiCrypted.cpp). False positives are unlikely.
zcomploc is a feature of the GC/Wii GPU used to perform some depth operations.
It was previously not implemented in Dolphin. This commit adds support for it.
List of games fixed by this commit:
* 007: Everything or Nothing (Skybox in front of the map/models)
* Baten Kaitos (characters displayed in front of background objects)
* Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (invisible skater)
* Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (floating floor)
* Super Smash Bros Brawl ("Link chasing pig" animation behind the score screen)
Fixes issue 4841.
/fp:fast was introducing FP precision problems, and mixing it with some
/fp:precise code caused strange game behaviors, DSI exceptions and freezes.
This commit should fix most of the issues introduced by 3.0-73 (r95517a97).
Thanks to [email protected] for tracking a lot of these Win32 bugs.
Fixes issue 4906.
Fixes issue 5138.
Probably fixes (not tested) issue 5067.
Use the clobber list instead of the stack to save rbx when executing the cpuid
instruction with inline assembly. This avoids breaking GCC assumptions about
the stack pointer location.
This is arguably better then using the slot0 device for slot1, because it maps
the real hardware better (nothing can be mounted on slot1 on a Wii AFAICT).
This also makes Kirby: Return to Dreamland work properly and fixes some of the
SD card problems (libs do not expect to have the same SD card mounted two times
in RW...).
This reverts commit 9a627e89fb.
The attempted Kirby: Return to Dreamland fix does not work properly and while
it fixes this particular game, it completely breaks SD card support on Dolphin.
BTW, I've never head of /dev/sdio/slot2 before...
To enforce SM2.0 compatibility, the OpenGL plugin was made to crash when
compiling a shader which does not fit in the SM2.0a limits. However, on some
combinations of OS/drivers/GPU, our shaders already do not fit in these limits,
causing artificial failures only to try to keep a non existant SM2.0a compat.
Basically, this sucks.
This commit increases the artificial limit to SM3.0. If you're using a GPU
which does not support SM3.0 and Dolphin works properly, this should not cause
any problem at all.
On Linux with recent versions of gettext these formatting fixes are done
automatically by gettext when updating the PO files. They create conflicts each
time a rebase / merge is done and need to be reset manually.
Most of the games using EFB peeks are suffering from major performance problems
when these peeks are not disabled in the graphics settings. This is an attempt
to fix this in the GL renderer by doing the glReadPixels in bulk: instead of
doing a lot of 1x1 pixel reads, read for 64x64 pixels at once and keep that in
a cache.
Deck menu in Baten Kaitos: 3FPS -> 54FPS
Character creation in Monster Hunter Tri: 7FPS -> 60FPS
