This worked correctly on the JIT vertex loaders, and for the equivalent case with texture coordinates. I'm not aware of any games this affects (but libogc does mention a semi-related scenario at 6bc0317c7d/gc/ogc/gx.h (L1855-L1857).)
Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine is known to use texture coordinate 7 (and only texture coordinate 7) in some cases. There are a lot of possible edge-cases, so this test brute-forces all combinations with coordinates 0, 1, and 2.
This test fails with the non-JIT vertex loader due to an issue fixed in a later commit in this PR. (Note that the non-JIT vertex loader is only used on machines where no JIT is available or if COMPARE_VERTEXLOADERS is enabled in VertexLoaderBase.cpp.)
This adds the actual switch to turn on Hardcore Mode to the settings tab of the Achievements dialog. It is accompanied by a large tooltip warning explaining what it does and when it can be enabled.
The switch is only enabled to be turned on when no game is running, so that games are started in hardcore mode and can only be loaded via the console's memory card, as in the original hardware. Hardcore may be turned off while a game is running, but cannot be turned back on until the game is disabled.
The toggle trigger for hardcore mode also automatically disables the settings that are not allowed during hardcore mode.
Finally, the original flag in AchievementSettingsWidget to set whether things are enabled in hardcore mode (primarily Leaderboards) is replaced with the actual Hardcore Mode setting.
Play Input Recording would potentially unlock achievements without any player input and needs to be disabled. If a recording is already playing, hardcore mode cannot be enabled.
The player getting a better view of their surroundings than the game would normally allow could possibly give the player an advantage over the original hardware, so Freelook is disabled in hardcore mode. To do this, I disable the config flag for Freelook when it is accessed, to make sure that it is disabled whether it was enabled before or after hardcore mode was enabled.
Memory patches would be an easy way to manipulate the memory needed to calculate achievement logic, so they must be disabled. Riivolution patches that do not affect memory are allowed, as they will be hashed with the game file.
Debug Mode gives players direct read and write access to memory, which could be used to completely manipulate RetroAchievements logic and therefore is not allowed in hardcore mode.
Slowing down the emulator would artificially improve reaction times and is therefore disallowed in hardcore mode. Speeds faster than 1x are allowed, but any speed below 1x is scaled back up to 1x.
Frame advancing is easily exploitable for slowing down a game and artificially improving reaction times and is not allowed in RetroAchievements hardcore mode.
While saving states is allowed (especially for the purpose of debugging), RetroAchievements does not allow loading saved states when hardcore mode is on.
This widget will be used in several places to notify the player that a feature has been disabled because hardcore mode is on. It includes a button to open the Achievement Settings so that Hardcore Mode may be turned off. Also included is the framework required to open AchievementsWindow specifically on the Settings tab.
Hardcore Mode is a RetroAchievements feature for enabling as close to original hardware as possible, to keep a fair, challenging, and competitive playing field for achievements (which get tallied differently and emphasized more in hardcore) and leaderboards (where it is mandatory) at the cost of several common emulator features that provide advantages, such as state loading and slower emulation speeds.
This commit just adds the flag to the AchievementSettings, with more to come.
Dolphin would crash when running with a fastmem arena but without
fastmem. This regression was caused by merging 9192128c50 without
adapting it after the merge of 0606433404.
Dolphin now relies on ENET_SOCKOPT_TTL which was merged upstream but not
released yet. This fix assumes that enet continues its current
versioning scheme.
This has the same effect in the end, but in my opinion, doing it this
way makes it more clear for the reader why we can read from ppcState at
JIT time, something that makes no sense for everything else in ppcState.
By making the JIT cache check if the current state of MMCR0 and MMRC1
matches the state they had at the time the JIT block was compiled, we
solve a correctness issue (marked in a comment as a speed hack).
Not known to affect any games.
This must have broken in a rebase of one of my recently merged PRs.
Dolphin still worked correctly with this bug, for two reasons:
1. Most AArch64 users are not on Windows, and therefore normally do have
the entry points map.
2. When the bug was triggered, Dolphin would fall back to the slower
path rather than crashing.
Instead of shifting left by 1, we can first shift right by 2 and then
left by 3. This is both faster and smaller, because we get the right
shift for free with the masking and the left shift for free with the
address calculation. It also happens to match the pseudocode more
closely, which is always nice for readability.
This slightly improves instruction-level parallelism in Jit64's slow
dispatcher by shifting the PC left instead of the MSR.
In the past, this also enabled an optimization in JitArm64's fast path
where we could use LDP to load normalEntry and msrBits in one
instruction, but this was superseded by fd9c970.
Just to make the code easier to understand at a glance. I especially
found it a bit annoying to reason about whether callee-saved registers
like W28 were being used because we needed a callee-saved register or
just for no reason in particular.
X8 and up is what compilers normally use when they're not register
starved.
