Because of the way this works, randomly overwriting the handler
when loading a savestate will break things because of the
self-modifying nature of the handler.
GeckoCodes require address hooks which don't correspond to any
symbol in the symbol table. The hooks get deleted when repatching
the game because they did not persist across calls to
HLE::PatchFunctions.
Dolphin emulates GeckoCodes by fiddling with the CPU state when a
VI Interrupt occurs. The problem with this is that we don't know
where the PC is so it's non-deterministic and not necessarily
suitable for use with the codehandler.
There are two options: Patch the game like Gecko OS either directly
or using HLE::Patch, or use a trampoline so we can branch from any
PC even if it would otherwise not be valid. The problem with Gecko OS
patches is there are 10 of them and they have to be configured
manually (i.e. Game INIs to would need to have a [Core]GeckoHookType
property).
HLE_Misc::GeckoReturnTrampoline enables the Code Handler to be
entered from anywhere, the trampoline restores all the registers that
had to be secretly saved to the stack.
If the installation fails because codehandler.bin is missing or
unusable then Dolphin will try again every single frame even though
it's highly unlikely a disk file will have changed. Better to just
fail once then only try again when the active code set is changed.
Suppresses generating 60 log messages per second.
Turns out one of the magic numbers was very magic. The gameid is
an ad-hoc comm protocol with HLE_Misc to control the number of times
the ICache is reset.
The code table builder cuts off the end of codes that won't fit
after already writing part of it. That seems quite unlikely to
work the way anyone would find useful since the codes can contain
actual PPC instructions.
The active codes vector cannot safely be used outside the mutex,
move the lock out into RunCodeHandler. s_code_handler_installed was
also racing against SetActiveCodes since it's being written both
inside and outside the lock.
General cleanup. Add s_ prefixes, use constexpr, remove C casts.
Executing PPC code inside an external events callback is a bad idea.
CoreTiming::Advance does not support recursion properly which will
cause timing glitches. The interpreter has a slice length hack that
counters this but without it this would cause a 20000 cycles time
skip. It isn't clear what this was supposed to accomplish that just
changing the current PC would not. Changing the PC works fine.
Call Advance at the start of each timing slice instead of the end.
Possibly fixed a bug where a slice would randomly branch straight
back to Advance() because the flags were not set to the right
values before branching to the dispatcher entrypoint.
The min-heap provides no ordering when the key is the same on 2
nodes. Disambiguate identical times by tracking the order items
were added into the queue.
Init cannot be called more than once because it registers the
CoreTiming callbacks, that trips the assertions and will cause
anyone with PanicAlerts disabled to crash.
CoreTiming gets restored before ExpansionInterface so CoreTiming
events need to already be registered before the save state loading
begins. This means that the callbacks must be registered
unconditionally instead of on-demand.
Replace adhoc linked list with a priority heap. Performance
characteristics are mostly the same, but is more cache friendly.
[Priority Queues have O(log n) push/pop compared to the linked
list's O(n) push/O(1) pop but the queue is not big enough for
that to matter, so linear is faster over linked. Very slight gains
when framelimit is unlimited (Wind Waker), 1900% -> 1950%]
Dolphin no longer lowers itself below the top window when opening.
Dolphin no longer draws garbage lines all over the game list.
Use the correct platform macros so Dolphin can actually find the
translation catalogs on Unix.
From wxWidgets master 81570ae070b35c9d52de47b1f14897f3ff1a66c7.
include/wx/defs.h -- __w64 warning disable patch by comex brought forward.
include/wx/msw/window.h -- added GetContentScaleFactor() which was not implemented on Windows but is necessary for wxBitmap scaling on Mac OS X so it needs to work to avoid #ifdef-ing the code.
src/gtk/window.cpp -- Modified DoSetClientSize() to direct call wxWindowGTK::DoSetSize() instead of using public wxWindowBase::SetSize() which now prevents derived classes (like wxAuiToolbar) intercepting the call and breaking it. This matches Windows which does NOT need to call DoSetSize internally. End result is this fixes Dolphin's debug tools toolbars on Linux.
src/osx/window_osx.cpp -- Same fix as for GTK since it has the same issue.
src/msw/radiobox.cpp -- Hacked to fix display in HiDPI (was clipping off end of text).
Updated CMakeLists for Linux and Mac OS X. Small code changes to Dolphin to fix debug error boxes, deprecation warnings, and retain previous UI behavior on Windows.
Cleanup code style.
Move ActionReplay code->INI saving into ActionReplay namespace.
Threadsafety Cleanup: ActionReplay is accessed from the Host, Emu
and CPU Threads so the internal storage needs to be protected by a
lock to prevent vectors/strings being deleted/moved while in use by
the CPU Thread.
UI Consistency: Make ARCodes behave like Gecko Codes - only apply
changes when Apply is pressed. Save changes to INI from CheatsWindow.
ISOProperties/CheatsWindow now synchronize with each other.
ISOProperties loads codes using ActionReplay::LoadCodes which actually applies
the codes to the global state. If a game is running then that games receives
all the codes (and ACTIVE status) from the second game being shown in
ISOProperties which is not desirable.
EndPlayInput runs on the CPU thread so it can't directly call
UpdateWantDeterminism. PlayController also tries to ChangeDisc
from the CPU Thread which is also invalid. It now just pauses
execution and posts a request to the Host to fix it instead.
The Core itself also did dodgy things like PauseAndLock-ing
from the CPU Thread and SetState from EmuThread which have been
removed.
Fix Frame Advance and FifoPlayer pause/unpause/stop.
CPU::EnableStepping is not atomic but is called from multiple threads
which races and leaves the system in a random state; also instruction
stepping was unstable, m_StepEvent had an almost random value because
of the dual purpose it served which could cause races where CPU::Run
would SingleStep when it was supposed to be sleeping.
FifoPlayer never FinishStateMove()d which was causing it to deadlock.
Rather than partially reimplementing CPU::Run, just use CPUCoreBase
and then call CPU::Run(). More DRY and less likely to have weird bugs
specific to the player (i.e the previous freezing on pause/stop).
Refactor PowerPC::state into CPU since it manages the state of the
CPU Thread which is controlled by CPU, not PowerPC. This simplifies
the architecture somewhat and eliminates races that can be caused by
calling PowerPC state functions directly instead of using CPU's
(because they bypassed the EnableStepping lock).
DriveReader::m_size was never initialized which was indirectly
causing CGameListCtrl to crash Dolphin when it tried to insert a
character at a negative index in a string.
Reading one sector at a time is very inefficient and appears to
be causing timing issues during boot so SectorReader has been
enhanced to support batching.
SectorReader has been given a working cache system.
Closing Dolphin's main frame and clicking "no" does not clear
m_bClosing which means that pressing the "stop" button triggers
OnClosed which suddenly and unexpectedly closes the main frame.
VideoInterface::Preset was not initializing all registers, this is a problem
because it leaks register settings across games. Xenoblade Chronicles does
not like m_DisplayControlRegister having random bit patterns in it.
The D3D backend was always forcing Anisotropic filtering when that is enabled regardless of how the game chose to configure the texture filtering registers; this causes the same issues as "Force Filtering" without Anisotropy, such as causing game UI elements to no longer line up adjacent correctly. Historically, OpenGL's Anisotropy support has always worked "better" than D3D's due to seeming to not have this problem; unfortunately, OpenGL's Anisotropy specification only gives GL_LINEAR based filtering modes defined behavior, with only the mipmap setting being required to be considered. Some OpenGL implementations were implicitly disabling Anisotropy when the min/mag filters were set to GL_NEAREST, but this behavior is not required by the spec so cannot be relied on.
