Now works with games that deliberately avoid invalidating TMEM because
they know textures are too large to fit:
* Sonic Riders
* Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
* Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee
* NHL Slapshot
* Tak and the Power of Juju
* Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
* 428: Fūsa Sareta Shibuya de

These are only ever used with ShaderCode instances and nothing else.
Given that, we can convert these helper functions to expect that type of
object as an argument and remove the need for templates, improving
compiler throughput a marginal amount, as the template instantiation
process doesn't need to be performed.
We can also move the definitions of these functions into the cpp file,
which allows us to remove a few inclusions from the ShaderGenCommon
header. This uncovered a few instances of indirect inclusions being
relied upon in other source files.
One other benefit is this allows changes to be made to the definitions
of the functions without needing to recompile all translation units that
make use of these functions, making change testing a little quicker.
Moving the definitions into the cpp file also allows us to completely
hide DefineOutputMember() from external view, given it's only ever used
inside of GenerateVSOutputMembers().
Hardware tests have shown that if the number of texgens/channels do not
match, you get garbage rendering. Presumably because the output
registers from the XF stage are fed into the incorrect input registers
for TEV/BP.
Currently, this causes Dolphin to crash/generate invalid shaders with an
assertion failure in the hardware backends. Instead, we log an error.
Perhaps in the future we should just spit out all texgens/colors anyway
from both stages, and let cross-stage optimization take care of DCE'ing
it away. But doing so would require changing the UIDs and invalidating
everyone's shader caches.
Rather than expose the bounding box members directly, we can instead
provide an interface for code to use. This makes it nicer to transition
from global data, as the interface function names are already in
place.
Now that we've extracted all of the stateless functions that can be
hidden, it's time to make the index generator a regular class with
active data members.
This can just be a member that sits within the vertex manager base
class. By deglobalizing the state of the index generator we also get rid
of the wonky dual-initializing that was going on within the OpenGL
backend.
Since the renderer is always initialized before the vertex manager, we
now only call Init() once throughout the execution lifecycle.
Makes the global variable follow our convention of prefixing g_ on
global variables to make it obvious in surrounding code that it's not a
local variable.
Normalizes all variables related to statistics so that they follow our
coding style.
These are relatively low traffic areas, so this modification isn't too
noisy.
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.
Some lines of code in Dolphin just plainly grabbed the value of
g_ActiveConfig.iEFBScale, which resulted in Auto being treated as
0x rather than the actual automatically selected scale.
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.
Some widescreen hacks (see below) properly force anamorphic output, but
don't make the last projection in a frame 16:9, so Dolphin doesn't
display it correctly.
This changes the heuristic code to assume a frame is anamorphic based on
the total number of vertex flushes in 4:3 and 16:9 projections that
frame. It also adds a bit of "aspect ratio inertia" by making it harder
to switch aspect ratios, which takes care of aspect ratio flickering
that some games / widescreen hacks would be susceptible with the new
logic.
I've tested this on SSX Tricky's native anamorphic support, Tom Clancy's
Splinter Cell (it stayed in 4:3 the whole time), and on the following
widescreen hacks for which the heuristic doesn't currently work:
