This is a cleanup of the gameini database. Specifically:
It removes the "Issues=..." lines and their respective comments since
they don't show up in the gui, are very old and wrong in most cases.
They contain probably more than 4 year old comments (i don't have a clue
who or when wrote them).
Also remove the "EFBCopyCacheEnable = True" lines from the database.
These were put at a time that efb to Ram had resolution issues without
cache being enabled, safe texture cache could be disabled and speed was
detrimental. Now that efb to ram doesn't have the same res issues as
back then, safe texture cache can't be disabled with speed gains being
non existent (you get even a speed hit if texture cache is put to safe)
i think it should be removed from the database.
Updates gameinis for various us wiiware titles. How to Train Your Dragon
2 (wii), Opoona (wii), The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (gc),
Super Mario Sunshine (gc), Super Monkey Ball 2 (gc) updated.
Fixes issues 7491, 7447 and 7581.
In the cases where we support the binding layout keyword, use it for more than binding UBO location.
This changes it so it is supported for samplers as well.
Instances when this is enabled is if a device supports GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack, or if it supports GLES 3.10.
Adds Genesis virtual console games to the database. Fixes issues 7400
and partly 7396. Update for Mario Sunshine (gc), Despicable Me (wii),
Chicken Little: Ace In Action (wii), and a couple of Wiiware titles.
The clean theme was a little rushed. There was barely over a week between it's start date and the 4.0 release, and there was school and other crazy going on at the time. Having lived with the clean theme for a while, the weaknesses of the theme was really beginning to irritate me. So I've taken my time and worked on them over the past few months, and used them day to day to get the feel of them. The result is much better overall - everything has been tweaked from the ground up!
While there is a "full" changelog below, the primary change is a transitions from a gradient + dropshadow (and sometimes etch, don't think about it too hard) to a gradient + etch style. It's the same icons and the same style just, dare I say, cleaner? It's also much more variation friendly, allowing consistant results across all the colors and sizes. It pays off big time; everything that isn't default is drastically improved. For those that just use default, it's still better, thanks to the higher quality.
In my view, this is the completed clean theme.
Changlog:
*No dropshadow - gives the theme a even cleaner look and greatly improves the colored and @2x versions
*Improved etch effect with subtle variations as needed to each icon for best results
*New GameCube Icon - accurate to hardware, matches the accurate wiimote-nunchuk
*Tweaked gradients for a slightly flatter look
*Redone Lite theme. Still weird on light chrome, but awesome on dark chrome. Has a sort of white iPod look.
*@2x icons take better advantage of the higher resolution while still matching
*Improved the open icon's "disc", with precise angles on the reflection and mouseover awesome
*Removed slight curve from the Play icon
*Graphics icon now has a "power light" that no one will ever notice if they don't read this.
*And an obscene amount of tweaks way too small to include here
Update that adds NES and SNES (U) Virtual Console games to the database.
Fixes issue 7349 (More Aggressive Twilight Princess Hack), issue 7337
(Def Jam Vendetta No Cutscenes?) and issue 7258 (Madden NFL 2003
requires RealXFB for videos).
Workaround for issue 7322 (Slow audio ingame in various gamecube games
when using HLE, LLE audio works fine.) by enforcing LLE audio for the
affected games for the time being.
This PR depends upon pr #466 "Allow progressive scan to be set by game
ini".
Updates game inis for Serious Sam: Next Encounter (gc), CAPCOM VS. SNK 2
EO (gc), Baten Kaitos Origins (gc), Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the
Lost Ocean (gc), Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (gc), Sonic Riders (gc), Sonic
Adventure DX (gc), Mini Ninjas (wii), The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
(wii).
Fixes issues 7146 and 6440.
The Sims 2 Pets (gc), NHL 2005 (gc), NHL06 (gc), Blood Omen 2 (gc),
R:Racing Evolution: Life in the Fast Lane (gc), World Of Zoo (wii),
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are affected.
Fixes issue 7067.
Metroid: Other M was the only game which required this field, but the
issue in that game can be fixed properly by enabling format change
emulation. Hence, there's no point in having this around anymore.
Fixes issue 6644.
Instead of being vertex-based, it is now primitive (point, line or dissected triangle) based, with proper clipping.
Also, screen position is now calculated based on viewport values, instead of "guesstimating".
This fixes many graphical glitches in Paper Mario: TTYD and Super Paper Mario.
Also, the new code allows Mickey's Magical Mirror and Disney's Hide & Sneak to work (mostly) bug-free. I changed their inis to use bbox.
These changes have a slight cost in performance when bbox is being used (rare), mostly due to the new clipping algorithm.
Please check for any regressions or crashes.
