- Begin the process of applying SSE2 optimizations to BG layer compositing.
- In this revision, only Text mode layers use the new SSE2 optimizations. Other BG layer modes have yet to be implemented.
- Replace _mm_set1_epi64x() with _mm_set1_epi32() where appropriate.
- Complete GPUEngineBase::_RenderPixel_SSE2() method.
- Fix potential bug with window checks in GPUEngineBase::_RenderPixel3D_SSE2().
- Do some minor code cleanup.
- Do SSE2 optimization when compositing the 3D layer.
- Add SSE2 optimized version of GPUEngineBase::_RenderPixel() for future use (currently inactive).
- Explicitly make the Render3D class allocate itself with a cache-aligned base pointer. Fixes SSE2-related alignment crashes with OS/compiler combinations that don’t 16-byte align the base pointer for you.
- When clicking one of the Save Settings as Default buttons in one of the settings panels, force the user defaults file to synchronize immediately. This fixes updating the user defaults file on OS X v10.11 El Capitan.
- Fix bug where video settings wouldn’t update immediately while the emulation is paused. (Regression from r5310).
- Fix bug where if a ROM is unloaded, the previous video frame would remain instead of blacking out as intended. (Regression from r5310).
- Fix bug where using Frame Jump or executing the emulation faster than 1.00x would cause the execution speed to be limited by Vertical Sync.
- Do some code cleanup on CocoaDSOutput.
- Expand the text box further when the RTC is shown.
- Fix writing to the sub engine’s MASTER_BRIGHT register. Fixes the touch screen display output for “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”. (Regression from r5261.)
- Account for the fact that extended palette mappings can change independently of the BGnCNT register. Fixes the BG3 layer in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. (Regression from r5286.)
- Fix a bunch of graphical corruption regressions on big-endian systems.
- Also fix rotation/scale sprite colors and the 3D clear color on big-endian systems.
- In the Support Request Form and Bug Report Form, update the reported configuration to reflect the current 3D rendering features.
- Do some minor code cleanup.
- Auto-resolving the native framebuffer is now only performed if the frame isn’t skipped.
- Add some callback routines for the beginning and ending of rendering a frame, and for the beginning and ending of rendering the 3D layer.
- Begin unifying pixel rendering. Rendering the BG and OBJ layers now use the same method.
- Pass the destination buffer pointer and line index by means of function parameters, instead of using object variables.
- Rendering a BG layer (for debugging purposes) is now completely handled in the core code.
- Do some other code cleanup.
