1) Most of the times the native heap is kept around even after the activity
is killed, we can ask the native code if it is still running and resume
the emulation if that is the case.
2) In case the native heap is freed and the emulation can't resume we used
a temporary state to load on the game boot.
I couldn't find a way to test this, if you want to test this schnario,
add this block to EmulationFragment.
public void onDestroy()
{
stopEmulation();
super.onDestroy();
}
onDestroy is only called if the acivity killed by the OS and not be rotation
change whihch in this case will make sure to kill the emulation and start
again when the activiy is re-created.
Note: By "HandleInit" in this commit message, I mean the code that is
in HandleInit in master except the part that launches EmulationActivity.
In other words, I mean the call to SetUserDirectory and the call to
DirectoryInitializationService.startService. Couldn't think of
something more accurate to call that than "HandleInit"...
In master, HandleInit only runs when the main activity is launched.
This is a problem if the app ends up being launched in some other way,
such as resuming EmulationActivity after the app has been killed in
order to reclaim memory. It's important that we run HandleInit, because
otherwise the native code won't know where the User and Sys folders are.
In order to implement this, I'm dropping the ability to set a custom
User folder in an intent. I don't think anyone is using that anyway.
It's not impossible to support it, but I can't see a way to support
it that doesn't involve something ugly like having code for calling
HandleInit in every activity (or at least MainActivity + TvMainActivity
+ EmulationActivity, with more activities potentially needing it in
the future if we expand the usage of native code for e.g. settings).
If we want to support setting a custom user directory, we should
consider another way to do it, such as a setting that's stored in
getFilesDir() or getExternalStorageDirectory(). Intents are intended
to control the behavior of a specific activity, not the whole app.
There are two reasons for this change:
1. It removes many repetitive lines of code.
2. I think it's a good idea to enable the use of old-style section
names even for settings that previously haven't been settable in game
INIs. Mixing the two styles in INIs (using the new style only for new
settings) is not ideal, and people on the forums don't even seem to
know that the new style exists (nobody knew a way to set ubershader
settings per game, for instance). Encouraging everyone to start using
only the new style might work long-term, but it would take take time
and effort to make everyone get used to it. Considering that this commit
*reduces* the amount of code by adding the ability to use old-style
names for more settings, I'd say that adding this ability is worth it.
You will see an empty gc pad settings screen until you open any other
settings screen and change something, at that moment the Dolphin.ini will
be created and the gc pad settings will be loaded successfully the next
time you open the screen.
This fixes the bug by putting the default gc pad settings section even if
the Dolphin.ini file doesn't exist
Trying to force the XSI version by undefining _GNU_SOURCE can lead
to compilation errors on some systems because of headers expecting
that _GNU_SOURCE is defined.
This commit uses define checks to detect which version we have.
I tried making an overloaded function (int and const char*) instead,
but that led to a warning about one of the variants being unused.
This solves the following issues:
1. If user uninstall Dolphin and install it again the resources will
not be copied unless the user manually clear the app cache because we
are enabling the allowBackup flag in the manifest which will make the app
restore the settings saved in the shared prefernces including the flag
assetsCopied. This PR always copy the files everytime you open Dolphin.
2. If the AssetCopyService took long time and you tried to open the settings
screen or start a game the behaviour was not expected or the emulator will
crash, this PR make sure that whatever we add to the DirectoryInitializationService
or how long it will take will still work as expected by blocking both
the settings screen and the emulaion screen to wait untill all resources
needed are copied.
3. Better communication between the DirectoryInitializationService and the
UI screens using brocast messages.
The Time Base Register was added under the BAT registers. TBL and TBU
were ORed together to get one 64-bit value to display. It is labeled TB
The Graphics Quantisation Registers were added under the Segment
Registers. They are Labeled GQR0-GQR7.
All new registers are read only.
GLES doesn't support C-style array initialisers, so stuff like:
Type var[2] = {
VALUE_A,
VALUE_B
};
isn't supported in GLES (it was added in
GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack).
The texture conversion shader used this, so would fail to compile on
GLES.
The PC offset ADRP() path takes a s32 value, but the input offset was
being tested as abs(ptr) < 0xFFFFFFFF. This caused values between
0x80000000 and 0xFFFFFFFF to incorrectly use this path, despite the
offsets not being representable in an s32.
This caused a crash in the VertexLoader on android 8.1 immediate in wind
waker (and possibly all other apps on android 8.1) as the jit and data
sections happened to be loaded 4gb apart in virtual memory, causing some
pointers to hit this
Some homebrew expect exception handlers to be present -- which is
almost always the case on console, since most of the time homebrew are
launched from either a libogc or SDK title) -- and break if they are
not. To fix this, we just need to include default, dummy handlers.
Set HID0, HID4, GPR1 to values that are used by libogc for
initialisation. This makes boots more similar to a launch
from the HBC or another loader, since normally the registers
have already been initialised by the loader.
This fixes a crash in homebrew that assume GPR1 points to a correct
location and attempt to use it before initialising registers.
This only works if GCPadNew.ini and Dolphin.ini files are not already in the dolphin config folder. Any advice would be helpful. I'd really like to tackle the UI and wiring for deadzones, radius, etc.
HLSL does not define roundEven(), only round(). This means that the
output may differ slightly for OpenGL vs Direct3D. However, it ensures
consistency across OpenGL drivers, as round() in GLSL can go either way.
These three instructions use the B field (bits 16-20 of the opcode)
to determine what the operand register is. However, the code was
using the path that uses the C field (bits 21-25).
This amends the code to use the B field (and also fixes the 64-bit PPC
opcodes, because why not?).
Fixes issue 10683.
This fixes the rendering of the scan visor in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes,

The alpha channel was off-by-one on Ivy Bridge due to the rounding
after multiplication with colmat. This commit removes this matrix
altogether in most cases, making them simple GLSL swizzles.
This will generate one shader per copy format. For now, it is the same
shader with the colmat hard coded. So it should already improve the GPU
performance a bit, but a rewrite of the shader generator is suggested.
Half of the patch is done by linkmauve1:
VideoCommon: Reorganise the shader writes.
Currently, a simple typo in the system name will trigger an assert
message that complains about a "programming error". This is not
user friendly and misleading.
So this changes GetSystemFromName to return an std::optional, which
allows for callers to check whether the system exists and handle
failures better.
Manually convert each argument to a UTF-8 std::string, because the
implicit conversion for wxCmdLineArgsArray to char** calls ToAscii
(which is obviously undesired).

Also skips swapping the window system buffers in headless mode, as there
may not be a surface which can be swapped in the first place. Instead,
we call glFlush() at the end of a frame in this case.
Cel-damage uses the color from the lighting stage of the vertex pipeline
as texture coordinates, but sets numColorChans to zero.
We now calculate the colors in all cases, but override the color before
writing it from the vertex shader if numColorChans is set to a lower value.
This was causing an issue where DolphinQt couldn't save graphics options
(DolphinWX doesn't hit this code path), because this function was being
called before the in-memory config was flushed to disk.
With this PR, the in-memory config isn't reset, and only SYSCONF-related
variables may get changed.
