Texture updates have been moved into TextureCache, while
TMEM updates where moved into bpmem. Code for handling
efb2ram updates was added to TextureCache.
There was a bug for preloaded RGBA8 textures, it only copied
half the texture. The TODO was wrong too.
This checks every TEXTURE_KILL_THRESHOLD frames, to see if the hash for the memory area of the efb copy has hanged. If it has changed, the efb copy can be removed, it wouldn't be used anymore. Before this pr, some efb copies would never be deleted.
Fixes issue https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/6101 and possibly some other VRAM leaks.
Instead of having special case code for efb2tex that ignores hashes,
the only diffence between efb2tex and efb2ram now is that efb2tex
writes zeros to the memory instead of actual texture data.
Though keep in mind, all efb2tex copies will have hashes of zero as
their hash.
Addded a few duplicated depth copy texture formats to the enum
in TextureDecoder.h. These texture formats were already implemented
in TextureCacheBase and the ogl/dx11 texture cache implementations.
This fixes issue 6563:
https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=6563
This PR adds a 2nd map to texture cache, which uses the hash as key. Cache entries from this new map are used only if the address matches or if the texture was fully hashed. This restriction avoids false positive cache hits. This results in a possible situation where safe texture cache accuracy could be faster than the fast one.
Small textures means up to 1KB for fast texture cache accuracy, 4KB for medium, and all textures for safe accuracy.
Since this adds a small overhead to all texture cache handling, some regression testing would be nice. Games, which use a lot of textures the same time, should be affected the most.
This drops the "feature" to load level 0 from the custom texture
and all other levels from the native one if the size matches.
But in my opinion, when a custom texture only provide one level,
no more should be used at all.
A number of games make an EFB copy in I4/I8 format, then use it as a
texture in C4/C8 format. Detect when this happens, and decode the copy on
the GPU using the specified palette.
This has a few advantages: it allows using EFB2Tex for a few more games,
it, it preserves the resolution of scaled EFB copies, and it's probably a
bit faster.
D3D only at the moment, but porting to OpenGL should be straightforward..
This is the same trick which is used for Metroid's fonts/texts, but for all textures. If 2 different textures at the same address are loaded during the same frame, create a 2nd entry instead of overwriting the existing one. If the entry was overwritten in this case, there wouldn't be any caching, which results in a big performance drop.
The restriction to textures, which are loaded during the same frame, prevents creating lots of textures when textures are used in the regular way. This restriction is new. Overwriting textures, instead of creating new ones is faster, if the old ones are unlikely to be used again.
Since this would break efb copies, don't do it for efb copies.
Castlevania 3 goes from 80 fps to 115 fps for me.
There might be games that need a higher texture cache accuracy with this, but those games should also see a performance boost from this PR.
Some games, which use paletted textures, which are not efb copies, might be faster now. And also not require a higher texture cache accuracy anymore. (similar sitation as PR https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/1916)
This changes the behavior if both texture are available. The old code did
try to load the modfied texID, the new code tries the unmodified texID first.
Don't change the texID depending on the tlut_hash for paletted textures that are efb copies and don't have an entry in the cache for texID ^ tlut_hash. This makes those textures less broken when using efb to texture.
This is not really fixing those textures, but it's a step forward. The mini map in Twilight Princess for example is in grayscales with this and is more or less usable.
We'll loose data on invalidating them. So just keep them until a new copy is done.
A wrong scaled copy is better than no copy if the game doesn't creates a new one.
This reverts an optimization which isn't worth imo. Every texture uploads have to alloc vram and a staging buffer, so there is no need to do both in the same call.
The D3D / OGL backends only ever used RGBA textures, and the Software
backend uses its own custom code for sampling. The ARGB path seems to
just be dead code.
Since ARGB and RGBA formats are similar, I don't think this will make
the code more difficult to read or unable to be used as
reference. Somebody who wants to use this code to output ARGB can simply
modify the MakeRGBA function to put the shift at the other end.
- remove unused variables
- reduce the scope where it makes sense
- correct limits (did you know that strcat()'s last parameter does not
include the \0 that is always added?)
- set some free()'d pointers to NULL
At the moment, custom textures with:
- invalid mipmap size
- invalid aspect ratio
- non-fractional scaling factors
are allowed. But they can't be loaded fine by the backend, so generate a warning if someone trys to load them.
