On macOS 13.6 / Intel HD 5000, Dolphin crashes with this message:
> -[MTLIGAccelDevice setShouldMaximizeConcurrentCompilation:]: unrecognized selector
This should be available on all macOS 13.3+ systems – but when using OCLP drivers,
some devices use an older version of Metal.framework, which doesn't expose the selector.
This concerns Intel Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Nvidia Kepler when using OCLP on macOS 13.3
or newer.
(See

As the behavior is an optional optimization anyway, perform a dynamic
detection to avoid crashing if the feature is not available.
As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the mipmap/half_scale functionality, but does change based on the width of the destination texture (and the destination texture is half the width if half_scale is set). The comment that was there (which dates back to the initial megacommit) seems to not have accounted for the width aspect; it was first used as an actual stride in bbbe898839 (the first commit that used it at all).
Verify that DXFramebuffer's integer RTV descriptor's cpu_handle has been
allocated before using it, and if it hasn't use the non-integer RTV
descriptor instead. This fixes a Dolphin crash in Twilight Princess, and
possibly other games (Issue 13312).
As an optimization to save space in the descriptor heap, DXFramebuffer's
integer descriptor is only initialized if the given abstract texture
format has different integer and non-integer RTV formats. This
previously wasn't accounted for by GetIntRTVDescriptorArray, which could
cause DX12::Gfx::BindFramebuffer to call OMSetRenderTargets with an
invalid descriptor which would lead to a crash.
Triggering the bug was fortunately rare because integer formats are only
used when blending is disabled and logic ops are enabled. Furthermore,
the standard integer abstract format is RGBA8 which has different
integer and non-integer RTV formats, causing the integer descriptor to
be initialized and avoiding the bug.
The crash started appearing in a2702c6 because it changed the
swapchain's abstract texture format from RGBA8 to RGB10_A2. Unlike
RGBA8, RGB10_A2 has the same integer and non-integer RTV formats and so
the bug can be triggered if the other requirements are met.
Dolphin no longer supports Windows 7, so the fact that there are (were?)
more people who use Windows 7 than who use a GPU that doesn't support
the required feature is no longer relevant.
To further increase the accuracy of the post process phase, I've added (scRGB) HDR support, which is necessary
to fully display the PAL and NTSC-J color spaces, and also to improve the quality of post process texture samplings and
do them in linear space instead of gamma space (which is very important when playing at low resolutions).
For SDR, the quality is also slightly increased, at least if any post process runs, as the buffer is now
R10G10B10A2 (on Vulkan, DX11 and DX12) if supported; previously it was R8G8B8A8 but the alpha bits were wasted.
Gamma correction is arguably the most important thing as Dolphin on Windows outputted in "sRGB" (implicitly)
as that's what Windows expects by default, though sRGB gamma is very different from the gamma commonly used
by video standards dating to the pre HDR era (roughly gamma 2.35).
Additionally, the addition of HDR support (which is pretty straight forward and minimal), added support for
our own custom AutoHDR shaders, which would allow us to achieve decent looking HDR in Dolphin games without
having to use SpecialK or Windows 11 AutoHDR. Both of which don't necessarily play nice with older games
with strongly different and simpler lighting. HDR should also be supported in Linux.
Development of my own AutoHDR shader is almost complete and will come next.
This has been carefully tested and there should be no regression in any of the different features that Dolphin
offers, like multisampling, stereo rendering, other post processes, etc etc.

DX12 would often crash when starting and stopping the emulation many times, due to the device enumerator failing for some reason. Checking for success fixes it.
AMD Metal drivers have a goofy bug where the bbox buffer stops being coherent with the cpu if you copy to it from a private (gpu) buffer and don't do anything else with it in that command buffer.
