We want this setting to invalidate the cache because it may affect the appearance of textures in the rendered scene, therefore one would expect changing it while the game is running to have the expected effect immediately.
Initializing GraphicsWindow layout & children requires cooperation from
the graphics stack: on my system, for example, it causes a Vulkan
context to get created in order to get driver info. This is a slow
operation, and right now it is taking about 60-70% of the Dolphin
startup time on my system.
Move instead to a lazy-initialization model where the constructor
does nothing, instead offloading work to a separate Initialize() method
called before the window is shown.
I would expect this should be done for other larger parts of the UI,
especially the ones where creating widgets ends up triggering large IO
subsystems (I suspect controller configuration might be doing that).
(I'm not super happy with how this is implemented, but right now it's a
one-off, and it's a major complaint users have with the new UI. I
prioritized getting something working quickly...)
Now the detection heuristic has changed, the old value is no longer
valid.
Some example thresholds for known mipmap effects that should trigger:
SMG's lava has a mimimum difference of ~17.8, SMG2's clouds have a
minimum difference of ~14.8, and Wind Waker's foam has a minimum
difference of ~15
Non-triggering examples were tested and all had a calculated difference
lower than 3.
So a value of 14 should lean towards false-negatives instead of
positives, but this is clearly incomplete testing and may require
further tweaks later.
This no longer converts from sRGB to linear for the reference mip
downsample - even if the original mipmap creation tool used an sRGB
colorspace (which isn't really guaranteed, and may even change per
game), this is a "fast" heuristic that's only an estimate anyway.
The average diff is also now stored in a u64, avoiding floating point
calculations in the per-pixel hot loop.
This should speed up the detection significantly, hopefully fixing
jank when loading in new textures.
Since we don't have proper confuguration file of what to include/exclude
in the backup, this better be disabled because it will lead to unexpected
state. This will solve any issue that was keep hapenning even after fresh
install of the emulator until you manually clear the app data.
Before we used different way of identifying which settings menu to
show, someotimes we used the section name, other times we used the
settings file name. This one replaces all those different ways by just
one way based on a menu tag which is more clear and easy to follow.
Normally, SI is polled at a rate defined by the game, and we have to send the pad state to other clients on every poll or else we'll desync. This can result in fairly high bandwidth usage, especially with multiple controllers, mostly due to UDP/IP overhead.
This change introduces an option to reduce the SI poll rate to once per frame, which may introduce up to one frame of additional latency, but will reduce bandwidth usage substantially, which is useful for users on very slow internet connections.
Polling SI less frequently than the game asked for did not seem to cause any problems in my testing, so this should be perfectly safe to do.
We can just use a vector of a vector, which also has the benefit of
keeping the size accounted for as well, allowing us to get rid of a
count parameter for CodesToHeader().
Instead of using an out-reference, we can modernize these to return the
std::string directly. While we're at it, also remove the unused name
parameter.
Given we now use a base class for the interface, we can make all member
functions, types and constants that aren't directly related to
instructions private.
HID2.LSQE is the Load/store quantize enable bit for non-indexed format
instructions (which are psq_l, psq_lu, psq_st, and psq_stu). If this bit
is not set and any of these instructions are attempted to be executed,
then a program exception is supposed to occur.
This register is defined as "optional reserved" within the aarch64 ABI.
Linux doesn't use it, but we must not modify it on ios or windows.
As we have plenty of registers on aarch64, let's just always skip this one.
This function was duplicated across all the opcode tables: the main info
tables, the interpreter tables, and the x86-64 JIT tables. However, we
can just make the type of the std::array parameter a template type and
get rid of this duplication.
const on a parameter being passed by value in a prototype doesn't actually signify
anything, these are only applicable in the definition, where they make
the opcode parameter immutable.
inline has external linkage, which doesn't really make sense here, given
the function is only used within this translation unit. So we can
replace inline with static.
While we're at it, the code within the function can also be compressed
to a single return statement.
Previously these were required to be built into the executable so that
the JIT portion of the DSP code would build properly, as the
x86-64-specifics were tightly coupled to the DSP common code. As this is
no longer the case, this is no longer necessary.
This adds a base class that is used to replace the concrete instance of
the x64 JIT pointer within DSPCore. This fully removes the direct use
(read: non-ifdefed) usage of x86-64-specifics within the main DSP code.
Said base can also be used for creating JITs for other architectures,
such as AArch64, etc.
This is one of the last things that needed to be done in order to
finally separate the x86-64-specific code from the rest of the common
DSP code. This splits the tables up similar to how it's currently done
for the PowerPC CPU tables.
Now, the tables are split up and within their own relevant source files,
so the main table within the common DSP code acts as the "info" table
that provides specifics about a particular instruction, while the other
tables contain the actual instruction.
With this out of the way, all that's left is to make a general base for
the emitters and we can then replace the x64 JIT pointer in DSPCore with
it, getting all x64 out of the common code once and for all.
While shuffling all the code around, the removal of the DSPEmitter
includes in some places uncovered indirect inclusions, so this also
fixes those as well.
Despite both being documented as read-only registers, only one of them
is truly read-only. An mtspr to HID1 will steamroll bits 0-4 with
bits 0-4 of whatever value is currently in the source register, the rest
of the bits are not modified as bits 5-31 are considered reserved, so
these ignore writes to them.
PVR on the other hand, is truly a read-only register. Attempts to write
to it don't modify the value within it, so we model this behavior.
This makes it much more straightforward to access WiimoteDevice
instances and also keeps the implementation details of accessing those
instances in one spot.
Given as all external accesses to the WiimoteDevice instances go through
this function, we can make the other two private.
Using reinterpret_cast (or a C-styled equivalent) to reinterpret
integers as floating-point values and vice-versa invokes undefined
behavior. Instead, use BitCast, which does this in a well-defined
manner.
