Skip ubershader mode works the same as hybrid ubershaders in that the
shaders are compiled asynchronously. However, instead of using the
ubershader to draw the object, it skips it entirely until the
specialized shader is made available.
This mode will likely result in broken effects where a game creates an
EFB copy, and does not redraw it every frame. Therefore, it is not a
recommended option, however, it may result in better performance on
low-end systems.
The original reason I wanted to do this was so that we can replace
the Android-specific code with this in the future, but of course,
just deduplicating between DolphinWX and DolphinQt2 is nice too.
Fixes:
- DolphinQt2 showing the wrong size for split WBFS disc images.
- DolphinQt2 being case sensitive when checking if a file is a DOL/ELF.
- DolphinQt2 not detecting when a Wii banner has become available
after the game list cache was created.
Removes:
- DolphinWX's ability to load PNGs as custom banners. But it was
already rather broken (see https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10365
and https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10366). The reason I removed
this was because PNG decoding relied on wx code and we don't have any
good non-wx/Qt code for loading PNG files right now (let's not use
SOIL), but we should be able to use libpng directly to implement PNG
loading in the future.
- DolphinQt2's ability to ignore a cached game if the last modified
time differs. We currently don't have a non-wx/Qt way to get the time.
Starting with 5.0-5504, trying to launch DolphinQt2 from Visual Studio
shows the error message "The operation could not be completed. Undefined
error" instead of launching the exe file. (The exe gets created
correctly, it just doesn't get launched. It's possible to work around
the problem by launching the exe manually outside of Visual Studio, but
then you won't have an attached debugger automatically.) This commit
fixes that by removing headers from DolphinQt2.vcxproj's ClInclude list
that already are in the QtMoc list. (The problem was originally about
LogWidget.h and LogConfigWidget.h, but 5.0-5600 made the problem be
about CheatWarningWidget.h and GeckoCodeWidget.h instead.)
