- Remove NDS_3D_GetLineData(), as it wasn't appropriately named or used for its intended purpose.
- Add NDS_3D_RenderFinish(), which is what should have been used in the first place. (Purpose: Blocks the thread until 3D rendering is finished.)
- Optimize gpu3DNull so that it doesn't have to clear the 3D layer every frame.
task.h:
- Fix multiple #include compiling bug.
SoftRasterizer:
- Improve the performance of rendering in multithreaded mode.
- Improve the stability of reset and shutdown in multithreaded mode.
- Do some minor code cleanup.
OpenGL Renderer:
- Improve the stability of reset and shutdown.
- Do some minor code cleanup.
- Make PBO feature support check a little less strict.
- Do some small optimizations to the DS framebuffer color conversion and ClearImage buffers.
- Do a big round of code cleanup.
- Make the video filters code more cross-platform friendly by adding #includes for Linux.
- Do more parameter checks in RunFilterCustom() and also add more helpful comments.
- Small optimization to texture handling.
- Rewrite console info strings for better reading, and also prefix all lines with "OpenGL:".
- Report basic GPU info in the console on init.
- Check for a minimum OpenGL header version of v2.0 and a minimum OpenGL GPU version of v1.2. (Note that these requirements were always implied by the code, but now we can explicitly check for them.)
- Do even more code cleanup.
- Fix compiling on non-Windows platforms. (Regression from r4469)
- Fix compiling for 32-bit. (Regression from r4469)
asmjit Library:
- Do temporary fix for compiling on OS X for SDKs earlier than v10.7.
Cocoa Port:
- Update Xcode project files to include the new asmjit library from r4469.
- Limit OS X SDK version to v10.6 in the Xcode 3 project.
- Fixed dimension bug in VideoFilter::RunFilterCustom().
- Do some minor code cleanup of the video filters code.
- Fixed bug in setting GPU layer states where the Main and Sub GPUs were swapped.
- Add DS_DISPLAY_VERTICAL_GAP_TO_HEIGHT_RATIO token.
- Copy read PBO pixels into our own buffer before unmapping the pointer. This is to help avoid tripping up certain drivers.
- Do some minor code cleanup.
- Do some small optimizations to the windowing system.
- Fix an occasional crashing bug that sometimes occurred when changing the display mode.
- Do some code cleanup.
- Optimize some utility functions
- Make the OpenGL renderer the default 3D renderer in the legacy port
- Fix compiling issue in the legacy port
- Build frameworks now all use SDK relative paths instead of absolute paths
OpenGL Renderer:
- Allow it to compile using the OS X v10.4 Tiger SDK
- OpenGL feature support checks now run an SDK check in addition to the GPU check
- Fix some compilation issues related to r4452.
- Switch the order of model identifier info and OS info in the About box.
- Do some minor code cleanup.
- New feature: Users can now use some very user-friendly forms for submitting support requests and bug reports. The new forms can be found in the Help menu.
- The About box now shows the model identifier and running OS version.
- The About box display font for the read me files has been changed to Monaco 10.
- The OpenGL 3D renderer now respects the "Rendering Threads" setting.
- Display output now auto-configures whether to run video filters in single-threaded or multi-threaded mode.
- Video filters now run much better in single-threaded mode.
- Do a lot of very heavy cleanup of the video filter code.
- Fixed bug in the UI where the HQ4xS option didn't work correctly in the user preferences.
- Add new static method to run a video filter without needed to instantiate a new video filter object.
- When changing filters, do not reinitialize the destination buffers if the video filter ID is the same.
- Do some other cleanup of the video filter code.
- Add new HQ4XS video filter.
- Improve ClearImage/Rear-plane emulation accuracy and performance for both 3D renderers.
OpenGL Renderer:
- Do additional optimizations to ClearImage/Rear-plane emulation.
- Make FBO support check a little less strict.
- Some minor code cleanup.
- Fix bugs with ClearImage/Rear-plane emulation that caused it to stop working. (Makes games like Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood playable again with this renderer.)
- Windows doesn't seem like multithreading on the same OpenGL context, so revert to r4435 where we disable this on Windows. Should fix related crashing bugs on certain drivers. Someone please research.
- Change detection of toon table invalidation from using a render state flag to doing a full memcmp() on the render state's toon table. (Maybe fixes some bugs?)
- Lazy load the toon table instead of loading on invalidate.
- In single-threaded mode, defer pixel reads until H-Blank to help improve single-threaded performance.
- Move the framebuffer conversion code to its own function.
- Add PBO support.
- Pixels reads are now multithreaded, giving a significant performance boost. (Note: This optimization does not work on GPUs lacking PBO support and running on Windows. Someone please research...)
- Add shader support to the OpenGL blitter and move matrix transforms to the shaders.
- Remove the assumption that the renderer will have VBO support. The code will now work without it.
- Improve accuracy of wireframe mode rendering.
- Fix regression from r4426 where wireframe rendering of GL_QUADS and GL_QUAD_STRIP would render an extra diagonal line. (Tested on Nanostray 2)
