This is mainly a virtual console update. Removes progressive scan option
from snes, genesis, etc. games since it is no longer needed for proper
speed. Adds gameinis for Neo geo, Arcade and missing gameinis for
genesis.
Main Stick is changed to Control Stick and C-Stick is changed to C Stick.
A new ui_name variable is added to ControlGroup so that the UI strings
in DolphinWX can be updated without breaking backwards compatibility
with config INIs and other things that use names as IDs.
Lost Levels NES VC game was missing an INI file and prevented it from
displaying anything but a black screen. This seems to get the graphics
working.
Played though 1-2 without issue.
While going through and testing various NES VC games, I noticed Mega Man
5 was just displaying a black screen but the sound and button inputs
were working as expected. Turns out, there is no INI file for that game
id. Copying and renaming Mega Man 4's INI file appears to be enough to
get the game going.
Stereoscopy values have been tested and a convergence value of 26 is ideal for placing the characters on the convergence plane. No perceived issues with disabling monoscopic shadows.
Completely rewritten Global Melee Netplay Settings. The individual codes can be found here (http://pastebin.com/38CFazXq). The previous Global Melee Netplay Settings have some issues such as not being able to change the random stage select, various crashes in 1P mode, friendly fire being off by default, and a general lack of new features due to its age. Needs to be tested for stability.
Fixes issues 8713 and 8674. Also disables scaled efb copies by default
for New Super Mario Bros to take advantage of the recent efb to texture
spinning coin fix.
Fixes issue 8637 by replacing SkipIdle=0 with SyncOnSkipIdle = False.
Updates gameinis for Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero, Pokemon
Snap and fixes a mistake in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.
Gameinis are added/updated for:
Shrek SuperSlam, Disney's Donald Duck Goin' Quackers, The Fairly
OddParents: Shadow Showdown, Hot Wheels World Race, MySims Agents, Punch
Out, Alien Syndrome, My Word Coach, Secret Files Tunguska and Secret
Files 2 Puritas Cordis.
Having settings for each game in more than one file is redundant.
Now, region-free INIs are now only for settings, and region-specific
INIs are only for AR codes and patches. Exceptions are made for
titles that share the first three characters of their IDs with
unrelated titles (mostly unlicensed titles and Triforce titles).
Removes STC from Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike: Limited
Edition Bonus Disc (Demo). Removes efb to ram setting from Tiger Woods
PGA TOUR 2005, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06, Mission: Impossible Operation
Surma and Terminator 3: The Redemption since it is no longer needed.
Sets Army Men Air Combat and Pac-Man World 3 to LLE audio due to audio
issues with HLE (slow audio). Corrects some mistakes in F zero (virtual
console) and The Magic Obelisk ini files. Finally it removes comments
that are simply stating the obvious and references to revs that games
were tested with.
I had moved Hyrule Field Speed Hack to RZDE01r0.ini and
Hyrule Field Speed Hack v2 to RZDE01r2.ini...
But according to issue 8318, v2 is actually made for r0.
This will make some game INIs cover more regions.
For INIs with AR codes or patches, I manually created a region-free
file without region-specific data while keeping the original.
It removes settings that were removed from dolphin to clean up the
database. Modifies some gameinis to use the new 3 letter gameid. Adds
Hyrule field speedup hack for Japanese and American version of Twilight
Princess for wii. Removes efb to ram from Twilight Princess, Tony Hawk's
Pro Skater 3, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Prince of Persia Forgotten
Sands, Mario Superstar Baseball, Okami, FFCC the Crystal Bearers and The
Simpsons due to the recent dolphin changes. Enables efb to ram for The
Magic Obelisk because it needs it and some more minor changes.
Add Hyrule Field Speed Hack v2 by TheWearyGamer for the wii us version
of Zelda Twilight Princess. Enable mmu and disable anti-aliasing in
Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse fixing issues 8108 and 8109.
Removes speedhacks from metroid prime 1 and 2, and fire emblem series
and update old notes for metroid prime. Capitalize dolphin in the few
inis that weren't from the previous commit.
Capitalizes LLE audio and changes star wars rogue leader and rebel
strike emulation state, addition of Rabbids Go Home and Bad Boys II in
the database, and enables mmu in Need for speed most wanted (gc) to
avoid crashes during loading a stage.
Includes gameinis for the Pal and Ntsc region of TurboGrafx-16, some
Commodore 64 gameinis, removes old notes about mmu games, enforces
virtual xfb in games fixed by PR #1818, updates Star Wars: Rogue Leader
and Star Wars - Rogue Squadron III - Rebel Strike
according to the zfreeze pr updates, MySims Kingdom is added and
Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love is updated.
Fixes issues 8091 and 8086.
Previously the gamecube fonts were based on Arial and Lucida which are not
freely distributable. The new fonts are generated using fonts under free
licenses with the "gc-font-tool" program I wrote.
According to GameTDB's database, this is not a known title ID. It was likely added by mistake. For those wondering, DVDX doesn't use this or it would be in GameTDB's database because they also keep track of homebrew, and Dolphin doesn't have INIs for homebrew/hacks anyway.
Update/addition of Madden NFL 06 (gc), Frogger Beyond (gc), DONKEY
KONGA (gc), Madden NFL 2005 (gc), NBA STREET Vol.2 (gc), Spider-Man
(gc), Star Wars: Rogue Leader (gc), NO MORE HEROES (wii), Super Smash
Bros. Brawl (wii), The Simpsons Game (wii), Suzumiya Haruhi no Heiretsu

Updates for Mario Smash Football, Medabots Infinity 4th Submission,
Super Mario Sunshine, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent, Sonic
Riders, Bigfoot - King of Crush, Turbo: Super Stunt Squad, Kid
Adventures Sky Captain, Toy Story 3.
Fixes issues 7868, 7799, 6586.
This is a cleanup of the gameini database. Specifically:
It removes the "Issues=..." lines and their respective comments since
they don't show up in the gui, are very old and wrong in most cases.
They contain probably more than 4 year old comments (i don't have a clue
who or when wrote them).
Also remove the "EFBCopyCacheEnable = True" lines from the database.
These were put at a time that efb to Ram had resolution issues without
cache being enabled, safe texture cache could be disabled and speed was
detrimental. Now that efb to ram doesn't have the same res issues as
back then, safe texture cache can't be disabled with speed gains being
non existent (you get even a speed hit if texture cache is put to safe)
i think it should be removed from the database.
Updates gameinis for various us wiiware titles. How to Train Your Dragon
2 (wii), Opoona (wii), The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (gc),
Super Mario Sunshine (gc), Super Monkey Ball 2 (gc) updated.
Fixes issues 7491, 7447 and 7581.
In the cases where we support the binding layout keyword, use it for more than binding UBO location.
This changes it so it is supported for samplers as well.
Instances when this is enabled is if a device supports GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack, or if it supports GLES 3.10.
Adds Genesis virtual console games to the database. Fixes issues 7400
and partly 7396. Update for Mario Sunshine (gc), Despicable Me (wii),
Chicken Little: Ace In Action (wii), and a couple of Wiiware titles.
The clean theme was a little rushed. There was barely over a week between it's start date and the 4.0 release, and there was school and other crazy going on at the time. Having lived with the clean theme for a while, the weaknesses of the theme was really beginning to irritate me. So I've taken my time and worked on them over the past few months, and used them day to day to get the feel of them. The result is much better overall - everything has been tweaked from the ground up!
While there is a "full" changelog below, the primary change is a transitions from a gradient + dropshadow (and sometimes etch, don't think about it too hard) to a gradient + etch style. It's the same icons and the same style just, dare I say, cleaner? It's also much more variation friendly, allowing consistant results across all the colors and sizes. It pays off big time; everything that isn't default is drastically improved. For those that just use default, it's still better, thanks to the higher quality.
In my view, this is the completed clean theme.
Changlog:
*No dropshadow - gives the theme a even cleaner look and greatly improves the colored and @2x versions
*Improved etch effect with subtle variations as needed to each icon for best results
*New GameCube Icon - accurate to hardware, matches the accurate wiimote-nunchuk
*Tweaked gradients for a slightly flatter look
*Redone Lite theme. Still weird on light chrome, but awesome on dark chrome. Has a sort of white iPod look.
*@2x icons take better advantage of the higher resolution while still matching
*Improved the open icon's "disc", with precise angles on the reflection and mouseover awesome
*Removed slight curve from the Play icon
*Graphics icon now has a "power light" that no one will ever notice if they don't read this.
*And an obscene amount of tweaks way too small to include here
Update that adds NES and SNES (U) Virtual Console games to the database.
Fixes issue 7349 (More Aggressive Twilight Princess Hack), issue 7337
(Def Jam Vendetta No Cutscenes?) and issue 7258 (Madden NFL 2003
requires RealXFB for videos).
Workaround for issue 7322 (Slow audio ingame in various gamecube games
when using HLE, LLE audio works fine.) by enforcing LLE audio for the
affected games for the time being.
This PR depends upon pr #466 "Allow progressive scan to be set by game
ini".
Updates game inis for Serious Sam: Next Encounter (gc), CAPCOM VS. SNK 2
EO (gc), Baten Kaitos Origins (gc), Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the
Lost Ocean (gc), Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (gc), Sonic Riders (gc), Sonic
Adventure DX (gc), Mini Ninjas (wii), The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
(wii).
Fixes issues 7146 and 6440.
The Sims 2 Pets (gc), NHL 2005 (gc), NHL06 (gc), Blood Omen 2 (gc),
R:Racing Evolution: Life in the Fast Lane (gc), World Of Zoo (wii),
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are affected.
Fixes issue 7067.
Metroid: Other M was the only game which required this field, but the
issue in that game can be fixed properly by enabling format change
emulation. Hence, there's no point in having this around anymore.
Fixes issue 6644.
Instead of being vertex-based, it is now primitive (point, line or dissected triangle) based, with proper clipping.
Also, screen position is now calculated based on viewport values, instead of "guesstimating".
This fixes many graphical glitches in Paper Mario: TTYD and Super Paper Mario.
Also, the new code allows Mickey's Magical Mirror and Disney's Hide & Sneak to work (mostly) bug-free. I changed their inis to use bbox.
These changes have a slight cost in performance when bbox is being used (rare), mostly due to the new clipping algorithm.
Please check for any regressions or crashes.
It was disabled because of issue 182, but as this game depeneds on FPRF, it was just 'fixed' because of the fallback to interpreter (which implements FPRF by default).
Also enables FPRF for this game via GameIni, so that the issue is still workaround.
If there are any regressions because of this commit, please try to enable FPRF in GameIni.
He claims they don't work on that revision either, but from a quick
Google they (most of them?) seem to be intended for it, so keep them in
case they're useful for anyone.
