When building dolphin, the wiki has lots of helpful information for dependencies. I am proposing to add a direct link to that page on the wiki under the building for linux section on the README
Pulling submodules is necessary now that mGBA is integrated.
Perhaps having the same submodule note repeated three times in the
different sections of the readme file is a bit odd, but I don't
know of a fitting section to put it in that isn't OS-specific...
1) Place information about universal builds after single architecture builds
since universal builds are harder to setup the environment for.
2) Specify that new arguments should be provided instead of direct script
modification for universal builds.
Analytics:
- Incorporated fix to allow the full set of analytics that was recommended by
spotlightishere
BuildMacOSUniversalBinary:
- The x86_64 slice for a universal binary is now built for 10.12
- The universal binary build script now can be configured though command line
options instead of modifying the script itself.
- os.system calls were replaced with equivalent subprocess calls
- Formatting was reworked to be more PEP 8 compliant
- The script was refactored to make it more modular
- The com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation entitlement was removed
Memory Management:
- Changed the JITPageWrite*Execute*() functions to incorporate support for
nesting
Other:
- Fixed several small lint errors
- Fixed doc and formatting mistakes
- Several small refactors to make things clearer
This commit adds support for compiling Dolphin for ARM on MacOS so that it can
run natively on the M1 processors without running through Rosseta2 emulation
providing a 30-50% performance speedup and less hitches from Rosseta2.
It consists of several key changes:
- Adding support for W^X allocation(MAP_JIT) for the ARM JIT
- Adding the machine context and config info to identify the M1 processor
- Additions to the build system and docs to support building universal binaries
- Adding code signing entitlements to access the MAP_JIT functionality
- Updating the MoltenVK libvulkan.dylib to a newer version with M1 support
This updates the lint script to require clang-format 9 and reformats
existing source code. Since VS2019 ships with clang-format 9 this
should make auto reformats less painful.
This also updates the clang-format configuration to set
BraceWrapping.AfterCaseLabel to true to ensure consistent brace
style; otherwise clang-format 9+ defaults to putting braces on
the same line as switch case labels.
This allows us to print user friendly names for titles out of the box,
without requiring the user to manually download a title database and
place it in the correct location.
No auto-update mechanism is implemented as it would be substantially
more complicated and overkill (imo), since titles are not updated
that often. I have however added a script to make updating them easier.
The database can be freely used without any restriction. I have
contacted the author.
Windows-1252 was sometimes being referred to as ASCII or ANSI
in Dolphin, which is incorrect. ASCII is only a subset of
Windows-1252, and ANSI is (rather improperly) used in Windows
to refer to the current code page (which often is 1252 on
Western systems, but can also be something entirely different).
The commit also replaces "SJIS" with "Shift JIS". "SJIS"
isn't misleading, but "Shift JIS" is more commonly used.
With the release of 10.12 Sierra OS X is now officially known as macOS. I changed all instances of "OS X" to "macOS" in the readme.
I also made a couple of other minor adjustments. The slash in the title was removed as other slashes were previously removed from the readme and it no longer made much sense with only two items to list. Also the Android section formatting was modified to better match the PC section.
Let's stop pretending that we support Triforce emulation.
Keeping this code around just in case someone will make
major improvements in the future isn't really worth it.
I'm keeping the Triforce game INIs so users will know that
the compatibility rating for Triforce games is 1 star (broken).
