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.
This enables shaders to be compiled while the game is starting, instead
of blocking startup. If a shader is needed before it is compiled,
emulation will block.
There was a race condition between the video thread and the host thread,
if corrections need to be made by VerifyValidity(). Briefly, the config
will contain invalid values. Instead, pause emulation first, which will
flush the video thread, update the config and correct it, then resume
emulation, after which the video thread will detect the config has
changed and act accordingly.
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).
Same as the previous commit, except I'm copying strings
in the other direction because the DolphinWX variants
of these strings could use some improvement.
Also removes the unused Event_Adapter event stub which did nothing. It
wasn't even hooked up to wx's event system.
Allows removing several includes from the header file and moving them to
the cpp file. Prevents includes being dumped into other source files
that include the header.
This uncovered an indirect include in Main for MsgHandler utilities.
I replaced "1x IR" with "native internal resolution" because
the IR setting never says "1x" or "IR", and I also did some
minor rewording and normalized the sentence-ending spaces.
Instead of directly reading/storing settings from/to the SYSCONF, we
now store Wii settings to Dolphin's own configuration, and apply them
on boot. This prevents issues with settings not being saved, being
overridden and lost (if the user opens a dialog that writes to the
SYSCONF while a game is running).
This also fixes restoring settings from the config cache after a
graceful shutdown; for some reason, settings were only restored
after a normal shutdown.
Fixes issue 9825 and 9826
Resolved "TODO" for Texture Cache safety, added explanation message.
Resolved "TODO" for default description, no longer uses default text for sizing
Fixed a memory leak in PostProcessingConfigDiag where it was never freeing any
of the objects it allocated in its constructor.
Minor design change to PostProcessingConfigDiag to give padding around elements
consistent with the rest of Dolphin's user interface (5px).
