- Textures can now be automatically upscaled using the xBRZ filter. Textures can be upscaled to 2x or 4x.
- Textures can now be smoothed using a deposterization filter. This can be helpful in smoothing some of the hard color banding that sometimes occurs with xBRZ.
- Only flush the 3D rendering buffers and update the rendering properties if the frame is not skipped.
- Be more accurate when using callbacks for DidRender3DBegin and DidRender3DEnd.
- Make the 3D rendering stage more multithreading friendly.
- HACK: Drop the acknowledgment bits when writing the DISP3DCNT register. Fixes the title screen in “Planet Rescue: Animal Emergency”. (Regression from r5259. Fixes bug #1538.)
- Custom rendering is now determined on a per-scanline basis rather than on a per-framebuffer basis. This greatly improves rendering accuracy and fixes any remaining graphical glitches associated with rendering at custom sizes.
- Fix crashing bug that can occur if BMPAddress maps exactly to the head of the custom VRAM blank region, such as in Hotel Dusk: Room 215. (Regression from r5366.)
- Do some code cleanup.
- Fix crashing bug that can occur if BMPAddress maps into the custom VRAM blank region. (Regression from r5366.)
- Fix bug where a 128-width display capture would actually perform a 256-width capture in custom VRAM. (Regression from r5243.)
- Fix bug where if the display mode is Off or MainMemory, then the destination buffer may not always be the native buffer.
- Remove VRAM display mode’s dependence on the isCustomRenderingNeeded flag.
- Fix possible memory corruption with display capture, at the cost of some performance. (Regression from r5243.)
- Add a couple more rules for determining if the 3D framebuffer will be read directly for display capture.
- Keep track of render states that are updated while rendering, even when the frame isn’t rendered.
- Use the proper address when reading custom VRAM during a BG layer affine extended direct render. Fixes the pencil drawing background in the title screen of Super Mario 64 DS when rendering at a custom resolution.
- Fix bug where if converting the framebuffer on GPU is not supported, but PBO is still supported, then the resulting framebuffer would be flipped with incorrect colors. (Regression from r5359.)
- Read back the pixels in RGBA format instead of BGRA on OpenGL 3.2 devices, since such devices should natively support that type of pixel transfer.
- By default, do not create a separate RGBA6665 buffer for rendering. Instead, directly render to GPUEngineA’s RGBA6665 buffer.
- SoftRasterizer no longer needs to flush the RGBA6665 buffer now that it is rendered to directly.
- Fix the OpenGL renderer’s RGBA5551 buffer flushing on big-endian systems.
- Change the HUD font from Source Sans Pro Semibold to Source Sans Pro Bold.
- HUD text rendering is now more crisp and handles scaling better.
- HUD objects are now clamped to a minimum size.
- HUD objects now scale with the display window instead of remaining at a fixed size. Scaling is linear up to 2x, and then logarithmic up to 3x.
- HUD text now looks sharper on Retina displays.
- Fix bug where restoring full screen windows on startup would fail. (Regression from r5349.)
- Fix bug where the dock would fail to reappear when the last window exited full screen mode. (Regression from r5349.)
- Disable logging when EXPERIMENTAL_WIFI_COMM is disabled.
- Now that Nintendo has discontinued their WFC service, we will no longer block users from trying to connect to it.
- In the OpenGL blitter, use DMA texture uploads for all possible video source cases. Doing this removes a longstanding MAJOR performance bottleneck.
- Native-sized video sees up to a 15% performance improvement, while higher-resolution video can see up to a 100% performance improvement!!!!!
