Changes a lot of parsing code which previously was not aware of the notion of
key/value, and operated only with raw lines. Now key/value is the default and
lines are handled as raw only if they do not contain =, or they start with $ or
+ (for Gecko/AR compatibility).
210 commits, more than 2 years of work, one of the most awaited features for
Dolphin.
Thanks a lot to Matthew Parlane and Shawn Hoffman for their work on
wii-network.
There are still a few rough edges, expect some bugs, maybe some regressions.
Please do as much testing as you can.
The code was hitting undefined behavior, causing crashes when starting a Wii
game with Dolphin compiled with gcc >= 4.8.
Might introduce some slight change in the Wiimote activation logic.
Fixes issue 6526.
Use strings internally, use a multimap and std::function for callbacks (instead
of a flat vector + loop over the vector to find the right callback type), fix
coding style issues. Simplify MainAndroid code a bit.
It's not enough to check for the CPUID bit to know if AVX is supported since
AVX requires OS support (new set of registers == more registers to be saved
when context switching). If the OS does not support, the cpuid bit will still
be set but using YMM registers will cause an illegal exception fault.
SDL2.0 removed SDL_HAPTIC_SQUARE because of ABI issues (see comment #7 on issue
6491 by Ryan C. Gordon from the SDL project). It will be reintroduced again in
2.1, so keep the code and #ifdef it away.
This reverts commit cce809ac90.
The code was actually correct: "expr" is never allocated when an error is
returned. This means when the expression parser fails, deleting "expr" means
deleting an uninitialized pointer.
Also keep a PNG version of bin2c'd resources in order to make these kind of
changes easier in the future.
Fixes recent versions of libpng complaining loudly about our images.
GC and Wii games using the AX UCode should now work almost perfectly with DSP
HLE. If you get any issue, make sure the "DSP on dedicated thread" option is
disabled, and try setting framelimit to "Audio".
As a side effect, DSP HLE should not desync anymore (making it usable in
netplay and TAS) with AX games.

At the end of July 2011, LM published a free DSP ROM that works with games
using the Zelda UCode. His ROM only has the code to handle UCode loading and a
few utility functions, the rest is missing. This includes the four large sound
mixing functions used by the AX UCode and the DROM containing coefficients used
for polyphase resampling in AX.
This is an improved, updated version of this ROM, which changes the following:
- We now have a free DROM that works for polyphase resampling by "emulating"
linear interpolation. The coefficients contained in the DROM are normally a
list of { c1, c2, c3, c4 } which are used to interpolate a sample value from
four previous samples:
out_sample = prev1 * c1 + prev2 * c2 + prev3 * c3 + prev4 * c4
The coefficients are chosen depending on the fractional part of the current
position (basically, our position between the previous and the next sample).
We can use this fact to generate (c1, c2, c3, c4) for each possible
fractional part so that:
out_sample = prev3 * curr_pos + prev4 * (1 - curr_pos)
Which is the formula for linear interpolation between prev3 and prev4. Linear
interpolation is not as good as polyphase resampling but it still works very
well and I couldn't really hear any difference between the two. If someone
wants to generate real polyphase filter coefficients, they are welcome to
submit a patch.
- The IROM now contains the 4 mixing functions used by the AX UCode: mix_add,
mix_add_two, mix_add_ramp, mix_add_ramp_two. They are large, inlined
functions (probably for performance reasons) in the official DSP IROM, our
version prefers to use a loop. This *should* be more performant with our DSP
JIT implementation, but I did not benchmark that.
Because the new DSP ROM is working just as well as the official ROM in 95% of
cases, it is now shipped by default with Dolphin and will be used with DSPLLE
if you don't have an official DSP ROM in User/GC. It will still display a panic
alert at every boot to notice you that you are using a non official DSP ROM
made by us, which is not perfect.
Games using the CARD, IPL or GBA UCodes are still broken. I don't know what
games this actually impacts, but this is a very small proportion compared to
what works.
They are currently broken and cause sound issues which are not present in other
backends:
* OpenAL plays music 2x too fast in Zelda UCode games with HLE
* Pulse backend uses a lot of CPU power and slows down emulation significantly
Both backends are currently being re-implemented in separate branches of
Dolphin, so this should be a temporary removal.
Workaround for issue 5864 disabling parts of an optimization in the JIT. This
is not the best solution to fix this issue, but at least it does not crash.
