This commit mainly elaborates on some messages a little more. Also fixes some typos that slipped through the last commit.
A large change in text can be seen in EXI_DeviceMemoryCard.cpp. I added more info as to why a write to a memory card may fail. (This actually was a reason I was unable to write to a memcard recently).
Elaborations can be seen in WGL.cpp
I did change some comments in some files that I was correcting logging messages in, however this is only if I spot a typo or if an abbreviation is lower-cased. Even in that case, the amount of changes done to comments is very minimal.
* OpenAL:
Changed SoundTouch to use float samples, allowing SSE to be used. Made the DPL2 decoder disabled by default. Re-added the audio hack used by the Accurate VBeam emulation option.
Added a latency setting to the audio settings. Removed the Sample Rate setting. It is now hardcoded to 48000hz (accurate audio timing).
Skipped timestretching if the emulator is running below 10% speed to prevent buffer overflows.
Removed the synchronisation between the CPU thread and the audio thread. Added code to detect and resume from buffer underruns. Disabled the ability to change the DPL2 option after the game has started. Fixed a memory leak that occurred in the DPL2 decoder. Fixed the OSX build.
Build fix
Added a Dolby Pro Logic II (DPL2) decoder in the OpenAL backend. DPL2 audio is decoded to 5.1. Code adapted from ffdshow. Added an option in the DSP settings to disable the DPL2 decoder in case Dolphin incorrectly detects a 5.1 audio system. Updated the OpenAL files to OpenAL Soft 1.15.1 in the Windows build.
Removed the system timing hack which was activated when the Accurate VBeam option was enabled.
Fixed the include directories in Audio Common for the Windows 32bit build.
Fixed the include directories in Audio Common for the Windows build.
Messed up the static include line
Fix include paths and compiling in Linux. Externals soundtouch is 1.7.1, while Ubuntu 12.10 is 1.6.x. Externals soundtouch is compiled with integer samples, while ubuntu is compiled with float samples. Float samples is probably the more common route. If you're going to use soundtouch, you should probably use SAMPLETYPE instead of explicitly choosing short. This probably breaks the windows build since its includes aren't setup.
OSX: typedef signed char BOOL
OSX build fix
Build fix
Added audio time stretching by using the SoundTouch library.
Implemented correct audio timing.
OpenAL for Windows initial commit
Added code to detect and resume from buffer underruns.
Disabled the ability to change the DPL2 option after the game has started.
Fixed a memory leak that occurred in the DPL2 decoder.
Fixed the OSX build.
Added an option in the DSP settings to disable the DPL2 decoder in case Dolphin incorrectly detects a 5.1 audio system.
Updated the OpenAL files to OpenAL Soft 1.15.1 in the Windows build.
Fixes issue 3023.
They are currently broken and cause sound issues which are not present in other
backends:
* OpenAL plays music 2x too fast in Zelda UCode games with HLE
* Pulse backend uses a lot of CPU power and slows down emulation significantly
Both backends are currently being re-implemented in separate branches of
Dolphin, so this should be a temporary removal.
the intent is to replace the haphazard scheduling and finger-crossing associated with saving/loading with the correct and minimal necessary wait for each thread to reach a known safe location before commencing the savestate operation, and for any already-paused components to not need to be resumed to do so.
