This is a remake of https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/3749
Full credit goes to phire.
Old message:
"If none of the texture registers have changed and TMEM hasn't been invalidated or changed in other ways, we can blindly reuse the old texture cache entries without rehashing.
Not only does this fix the bloom effect in Spyro: A Hero's Tail (The game abused texture cache) but it will also provide speedups for other games which use the same texture over multiple draw calls, especially when safe texture cache is in use."
Changed the pr per phire's instructions to only return the current texture(s) if none of the texture registers were changed. If any texture register was changed, fall back to the default hashing and rebuilding textures from memory.
This is an issue because a driver may have to maintain two copies of a
texture if it batches all uploads together at the start of a frame.
In the Vulkan backend, we do something similar to avoid breaking out of a
render pass to copy a texture from the streaming buffer to the destination
image.
This was causing issues in the sms-bubbles fifolog, where an EFB copy to
the same address of a previously-used texture caused the previous texture
to be re-used again for a different image later on in the frame, causing
the original contents to be discarded.
Fixes a major preformance regression in Skies of Arcadia during
battle transisions.
I had plans for a more advanced version of this code after 5.0,
but here is a minimal implemenation for now.
This should get Donkey Kong Country Returns characters to be as broken as they should be. They will be fixed in a later pr.
Expected result is:
efbtex: characters are always flickering or invisible, no matter what scaling or IR setting
efb2ram: characters are always working properly at 1xIR, no matter what scaling or IR setting
Approximately three or four times now, the issue of pointers being
in an inconsistent state been an issue in the video backend renderers
with regards to tripping up other developers.
Global (ugh) resources are put into a unique_ptr and will always have a
well-defined state of being - null or not null
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.
