|
There have been so many changes that this list can hardly be considered complete.
|
|
For this release, we have formatted the list into a high level overview of big changes and bad bugs relative to the previous release. Hopefully what you're interested in.
|
|
This list does not include items which are solely performance boosts, for let us just say that virtually every system has been speeded up.
|
|
|
|
* The savestate system is totally changed and incompatible with old savestates.
|
|
* The 3d system should be considered rewritten.
|
|
|
|
General/Core:
|
|
enh: Convert to c++
|
|
enh: Add functions for a lid open/close. Holding key (default "Backspace" in Windows port) while game is freeze/non freeze. [CrazyMax]
|
|
enh: Add secure area decryption from ndstool [zeromus]
|
|
enh: Change savestate code to support loosely bound chunks and more easily other parts of the emu (GE, GPU).
|
|
The savestate format is changed, but from now on it is in principle more resilient
|
|
(though it will continue to break as we tinker with the internals) [zeromus]
|
|
enh: Added SSE2 optimizations for matrices. Since we now make an SSE2 build, more optimizations can be made. [CrazyMax]
|
|
enh: Add a preliminary GUI hud system [CrazyMax,zeromus]
|
|
|
|
CPU/MMU:
|
|
bug: Many fixes in IPC and GE FIFOs. Fixes freezes in NSMB, dsracing, and others. [CrazyMax,luigi__,shash]
|
|
bug: Fix ARM instructions SBC and RSC (likewise SBC in thumb) [normatt]
|
|
bug: Fixed Thumb LDMIA (fixes ingame Dead'n'Furious) [shash]
|
|
bug: Fix repeating DMA (fixes NSMB parallax BG) [zeromus]
|
|
bug: Proper handling for unaligned CPU accesses [luigi__]
|
|
bug: Proper handling for undefined instruction exceptions [Salva Peiró]
|
|
bug: correctly return vram control register values (fixes homebrew 3d games) [zeromus]
|
|
enh: Remove 16MB of WRAM at 0x01****** from arm9. Mapped to unused instead. Nobody knows what this was. [zeromus]
|
|
enh: Changed instruction execution to 16 at a time blocks (tested and stable) [shash]
|
|
|
|
Hardware:
|
|
bug: Newer and better sqrt and div emulation; makes SM64DS playable [luigi__,shash,zeromus]
|
|
bug: Add preliminary RTC implementations [CrazyMax]
|
|
enh: Add cosine interpolation in the SPU (conditionally compiled) [zeromus,luigi__]
|
|
enh: Experimental: always one silent non-mixing SPU core at 44.1khz synched with emu, for more precision.
|
|
The audible core runs with the host, causing music to slow down but not tear or pitch bend. [zeromus]
|
|
|
|
Graphics:
|
|
- Overhaul 3d:
|
|
. Move entire GE to core emu.
|
|
. Move OpenGL renderer to emu core for optional use by platforms, removing ogl_collector. Now every platform shares the same 3d code.
|
|
. Reorganize 3d code to defer rendering to after 3d vblank. Eliminates tearing, and texturing artifacts. [zeromus]
|
|
. Move lighting model to software instead of using opengl's fixed function model [zeromus]
|
|
. Render shadow volumes; toon shading and highlight table [zeromus, luigi__]
|
|
. Added texture caching! big speed up. [CrazyMax]
|
|
|
|

|
|
bug: Fixes to GE: command unpacking, projection and pos-vector mode matrix handling, mult and load commands [zeromus]
|
|

|
|
bug: Fixed GPU rendering bugs in sprites and BG [CrazyMax]
|
|
bug: Fixes to texture conversion [CrazyMax,zeromus]

|
|
bug: Fixes in master brightness (this fixes some games with black screens) [CrazyMax]
|
|
bug: Fixes in screen, backdrop, and sprite blending [luigi__]
|
|
bug: Changed clear depths and how depth initial values are calculated (fixes SM64DS skybox, Castlevania) [shash,lugi__]
|
|
bug: Add 3d layer h-scrolling [zeromus]
|
|
bug: Added transparency and fixed material alpha support and alpha testing on the 3D core [shash]
|
|

|
|

|
|
enh: Add MMU->GPU signal for when vram mappings change to function as a texture cache invalidate signal [zeromus]
|
|
enh: Make matrix 4x4 multiply routines use W-coordinate; carry w coord through pipeline [zeromus]
|
