Since we use the common pipelines here and draw vertices if a batch is
currently being built by the vertex loader, we end up trampling over its
pointer, as we share the buffer with the loader, and it has not been
unmapped yet. Force a pipeline flush to avoid this.
It doesn't feel great to let the value from a previous emulation session
linger around considering that the GC aspect ratio heuristic can use
the previous value of m_aspect_wide when calculating m_aspect_wide.
If, for whatever reason, the XFB has to be loaded from console memory, it's possible that the texture is returned at native resolution instead of EFB-scaled resolution. In this case, our xfb_rect.right adjustment must also happen at native resolution instead of scaled resolution.
Also makes y_scale a dynamic parameter for EFB copies, as it doesn't
make sense to keep it as part of the uid, otherwise we're generating
redundant shaders.
We now differentiate between a resize event and surface change/destroyed
event, reducing the overhead for resizes in the Vulkan backend. It is
also now now safe to change the surface multiple times if the video thread
is lagging behind.
Also skips swapping the window system buffers in headless mode, as there
may not be a surface which can be swapped in the first place. Instead,
we call glFlush() at the end of a frame in this case.
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.
Settings that come from the SYSCONF are now included in Dolphin's
config system as part of the base layer. They are handled in a
special way compared to other settings to make sure they are only
loaded from and saved to the SYSCONF (to avoid different, possibly
contradicting sources of truth).
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:

This stops the virtual method call from within the Renderer constructor.
The initialization here for GL had to be moved to VideoBackend, as the
Renderer constructor will not have been executed before the value is
required.
Keeps associated data together. It also eliminates the possibility of out
parameters not being initialized properly. For example, consider the
following example:
-- some FramebufferManager implementation --
void FBMgrImpl::GetTargetSize(u32* width, u32* height) override
{
// Do nothing
}
-- somewhere else where the function is used --
u32 width, height;
framebuffer_manager_instance->GetTargetSize(&width, &height);
if (texture_width != width) <-- Uninitialized variable usage
{
...
}
It makes it much more obvious to spot any initialization issues, because
it requires something to be returned, as opposed to allowing an
implementation to just not do anything.
This is mainly for potential Android fifoci usage, and thus is not
exposed anywhere in the UI. To enable, set DumpFramesAsImages under
Settings in GFX.ini.
This increase the performance of good backends a bit, but slows down the bads one a lot.
Let's fix those backends instead of forcing stupid memcpy in the common code.
