We are used to use the texture parameter for all util draw calls,
but AMD seems to have a bug where they use the sampler parameter
of stage 0 if no sampler is bound to the used stage.
So as workaround (and a bit as nicer code), we now use sampler
objects everywhere.
Yet another story of games loading weird shit into registers.
For some reason, Burnout 2 would (in rare situations) load invalid
addresses into cp_state.array_bases. What would the real hardware
do in this situation? Who knows, Burnout 2 doesn't actually enable
the vertex array with the invalid address so nothing kinky happens.
But dolphin tries to optimise things and starts using the address
as soon as it is loaded into memory. This causes GetPointer (which is
now much more vocal) to throw an error.
The Fix: We don't call GetPointer until we are sure the vertex array
has been enabled.
- Change the Wiimote emulation SYSCONF R/W to use the temporary NAND if in use.
- Fix up SysConf API so this actually works.
Kind of a hack. Like I said, this can be cleaned up when configuration
is synced...
Eventually, netplay will be able to use the host's NAND, but this could
still be useful in some cases; for TAS it definitely makes sense to have
a way to avoid using any preexisting NAND.
In terms of implementation: remove D_WIIUSER_IDX, which was just WIIROOT
+ "/", as well as some other indices which are pointless to have as
separate variables rather than just using the actual path (fixed, since
they're actual Wii NAND paths) at the call site. Then split off
D_SESSION_WIIROOT_IDX, which can point to the dummy NAND directory, from
D_WIIROOT_IDX, which always points to the "real" one the user
configured.
Specifically, things like GETHOSTBYNAME, GETHOSTID, etc. could be done
without creating a socket, which is what the old check blocked. Now we
check at the ioctl and ioctlv handlers. Might be possible to get a bit
more realistic behavior in future by filtering individual ioctls, but it
probably doesn't matter.
This includes net, which is nonsensical to "sync" in netplay/replays
(could have the host do the Wii networking in future though...), and USB
keyboard, which just needs some love to do the same.
- FileSearch is now just one function, and it converts the original glob
into a regex on all platforms rather than relying on native Windows
pattern matching on there and a complete hack elsewhere. It now
supports recursion out of the box rather than manually expanding
into a full list of directories in multiple call sites.
- This adds a GCC >= 4.9 dependency due to older versions having
outright broken <regex>. MSVC is fine with it.
- ScanDirectoryTree returns the parent entry rather than filling parts
of it in via reference. The count is now stored in the entry like it
was for subdirectories.
- .glsl file search is now done with DoFileSearch.
- IOCTLV_READ_DIR now uses ScanDirectoryTree directly and sorts the
results after replacements for better determinism.
We had to lock audiocommon with the old asynchron HLE audio emulation,
now our Mixer is just a plain FIFO which may underrun.
Of course, this will stutter, but underruning the audio backend is likely worse.
