- Automatic setting of the SoftRasterizer thread count (the most common use case) now takes into account systems with many CPU cores/hyperthreads. When using Automatic mode, SoftRasterizer will take advantage of more threads on machines like the Mac Pro and iMac Pro.
- Manually assign the thread priorities of the SoftRasterizer threads and other related high-priority threads to better ensure stable performance. Most importantly, the main emulation thread will no longer preempt any SoftRasterizer thread since the main emulation thread has to wait on the results of SoftRasterizer anyways.
- These changes aren't targeted for improving overall performance -- they help stabilize performance so that CPU cycles are used more consistently, which might translate into slightly improved performance, depending on hardware, as a byproduct of doing these changes.
-Fixes regression from commit 5906d44 where HUD would appear smaller when using HD scaling. (only fixed with OpenGL for now)
-Remove use of backlightIntensity for displaying. Fixes bug where screen would appear dark on the first frame after loading a save state. Underlying cause should probably still be fixed, though. (Why would the backlight level affect the display anyway? That setting on the DS is only present because it has its own physical screens and makes no sense here.)
The right hand screen is allowed to be resized in horizontal screen layout to enable the window or full screen display to better utilize the screen area.
Changes:
1- Modify scaling, resizing and update functions to allow for new screen resizing ratio
2- Modify touch input scaling (incl. HUD editing) to adapt to different screen sizes
3- Add GUI menu for user to select the screen resizing ratio
4- Implement saving/loading settings from file similar to other settings
Commit 7548294333 broke compilation of
desmume/src/NDSSystem.cpp if DEVELOPER is defined by --enable-gdb-stub
Needs commit c9ad909a75b0ad89d0bd84829ed536c5ae0ffc93
XInitThreads() is needed in multi-threading X applications when multiple
threads try to access the Xlib. Add the call to the three frontends in
posix/ and add the required autoconf-stuff, too.
there's really nothing more to it than this. it should have been done from the beginning.
you wouldn't notice this unless you had a game that stopped rendering 3d, though.
