This adds about a frame of latency, and since most games don't change
VI registers during scanout, we can get away with outputting the XFB at
the start of scanout. WWE Crush Hour is the (only currently known)
exception, which has flickering problems when doing it this way.
This adds a path to perform the output at the end of scanout, and gates
it behind an option which defaults to using the latency-reducing
pre-scanout path.
This actually eliminates any setting pertaining to SD cards from the
NetPlay dialog, as it would effectively just be a duplicate of the
setting in the Wii pane, potentially causing confusion.
This also enables save data writing by default, as this is probably
what most players want, and should avoid them losing hours of progress
because they forgot to tick a checkbox.
This fixes bounding box shaders failing to compile under Vulkan, due to
differences between GLSL and HLSL in the return value of vector
comparisons and what types these functions accept. I included all() for
the sake of completeness.
At higher resolutions, our bounding box dimensions end up being
slightly larger than original hardware in some cases. This is not
necessarily wrong, it's just an artifact of rendering at a higher
resolution, due to bringing out detail that wouldn't have appeared on
original hardware. It causes a texel to fall partially on what would
have been a single pixel at native resolution, resulting in the
coordinates getting bumped up to the next valid value. In many cases,
these slightly larger bounding boxes are perfectly fine, as games don't
hard-code expected dimensions. It is problematic in Paper Mario TTYD
though, for a somewhat complicated reason.
Paper Mario TTYD frequently uses EFB copies to pre-render a bunch of
animation frames for a character sprite (especially in Chapter 2), so
that it can then render 100 or more of them without bringing the
GameCube to its knees. Based on my observation, the game seems to set
aside a region of memory to store these EFB copies. This region is
obviously fairly small, as the GameCube only has 24MB of RAM. There are
2 rooms in Chapter 2 where you fight a horde of as many as 100 Jabbies,
which are also rendered using EFB copies, so in this room the game ends
up making 130(!) EFB copies just for Puni and Jabbi sprites. This seems
to nearly fill the region of memory it set aside for them.
Unfortunately, our slightly larger bounding boxes at higher resolutions
results in overflowing this memory, causing very strange behavior. Some
EFB copies partially overlap game state, resulting in reading it as a
garbage RGB5A3 texture that constantly changes. Others apparently
somehow trigger a corner case in our persistent buffer mapping, causing
them to partially overwrite earlier EFB copies.
What this change does is only include the screen coordinates that align
with the equivalent native resolution pixel centers, which generally
results in the bounding boxes being more in line with original
hardware. It isn't perfect, but it's enough to fix Paper Mario TTYD's
Jabbi rooms by avoiding the buffer overflow. Notably, it is more
accurate at odd resolutions than at even resolutions. Native resolution
is completely unaffected by this change, as should be the case. This
change may also have a small positive impact on shader performance at
higher resolutions, as there will be less atomic operations performed.
Running the min/max operation on the upside down, quad-rounded pixel
coordinates before inverting them to the standard upper-left origin
produces wrong results. Therefore, we need to do the inversion before
rounding to pixel quads.
Fragment coordinates always have a 0.5 offset from a whole integer, as
that's where the pixel center is on modern GPUs. Therefore, we want to
always round the fragment coordinates down for bounding box
calculations. This also renders the pixel center offset useless, as 0.5
vs ~0.5833333 makes no difference when rounding down.
The SDK seems to write "default" bounding box values before every draw
(1023 0 1023 0 are the only values encountered so far, which happen to
be the extents allowed by the BP registers) to reset the registers for
comparison in the pixel engine, and presumably to detect whether GX has
updated the registers with real values. Handling these writes and
returning them on read when bounding box emulation is disabled or
unsupported, even without computing real values from rendering, seems
to prevent games from corrupting memory or crashing.
This obviously does not fix any effects that rely on bounding box
emulation, but having the game not clobber its own code/data or just
outright crash is a definite improvement.
This fixes a nasty issue where you can change the Dual Core setting
during emulation, if it has been overridden by GameINI or NetPlay, by
simply changing any of the non-disabled settings. This is because
changing any of the settings will write all of them to the config.
This issue is particularly nasty because managing to disable Dual Core
during emulation, and then stopping it, results in the emulator core
being totally deadlocked. It's impossible to recover from this state,
and Dolphin will remain as a zombie process on the system, consuming
resources and holding locks, until forcibly killed.
The GC/Wii GPU rasterizes in 2x2 pixel groups, so bounding box values
will be rounded to the extents of these groups, rather than the exact
pixel. To account for this, we'll round the top/left down to even and
the bottom/right up to odd. I have verified that the values resulting
from this change exactly match a real Wii.
canonicalPath is orders of magnitude slower as it has to perform actual
disk I/O to resolve symlinks, which makes sorting by this column
ridiculously slow for large game lists, especially if the games are on
a NAS. We probably don't need that, simply resolving relative paths
should be sufficient.
std::result_of is deprecated in C++17, and removed in C++20. Microsoft
has gone ahead with the removal as of Visual Studio 16.6.0, so before
this change our code is broken there.
The include for X11Utils.h (and by extension Xlib.h) is gated behind
HAVE_XRANDR, as well as the declaration for this function, but its
definition was mistakenly gated behind HAVE_X11. Therefore, if we have
X11 but not Xrandr, the build will fail due to declaration/definition
mismatch and the missing Window type.
Minizip 1.x is the old broken version, while 2.x is the newer fork we
use. Many distros ship the old version which is causing stack smashing
in RedumpVerifier, so we'll only use the shared lib if it's the newer
version.
The threads can't actually be started when determinism is enabled, as
the behavior would not be deterministic, but Open() still tries to
start the threads and wait, resulting in a deadlock when booting
certain games and homebrew in NetPlay.
For some reason every button group was shoved into the same config
group called "Keys" which caused buggy behavior once someone tried to
have hotkeys with the same name in different groups. This fixes that,
and converts existing configs to the new group names so they don't get
reset.
This fixes Old AX Wii games having no audio when compiled under VS2019.
This also includes some minor code cleanup and moving a function to
avoid duplication.
With the SI poll line count fixed, pretty much all games are polling
twice per frame anyways, making this option superfluous. Since it's a
bit of a gross hack and makes DTMs incompatible with console, let's
just bin it.
This fixes the problem where OBS game capture only grabs the region
inside an ImGui window whenever one is open, when using the OpenGL
backend. Shouldn't have any negative effects, as the scissor would've
been something completely arbitrary anyways.
This may affect other capture software that uses the same hooking
method, but I've only tested OBS.
This fixes the desync on playback of start-from-boot input recordings
made while using the GC adapter, as well as other desyncs that could
potentially occur in other circumstances where this bit is used.
I used a previously reserved bit in the ControllerState to store the
new data, so this shouldn't significantly break backwards
compatibility. However, tools that aren't aware of this new bit may set
it to 0, which will break input recordings that contain it.
This changes the Host Input Authority and Golf Mode checkboxes into a
set of radio buttons, consisting of Fair Input Delay, Host Input
Authority, and Golf Mode. This represents the 3 network modes we have.
Although Golf Mode is just an extension of Host Input Authority, it's
more logical to the user to present it as a separate option, rather
than enabling the Golf Mode checkbox only when Host Input Authority is
enabled. This also eliminates the need to first enable Host Input
Authority before Golf Mode can be enabled.
This also adds tooltips to provide brief descriptions of the options,
as well as reintroducing tooltips that were previously removed.
MemoryWatcher only works on Linux and affects emulation determinism due
to scheduling additional events, which causes NetPlay to desync.
Considering that this interface is a rather specialized use case, the
communication with it is kinda crappy *and* it's affecting emulation, I
think it's best to just axe it and come up with a better implementation
of the functionality.
