This commit should have zero performance effect if SSBOs are supported.
If they aren't (e.g. on all Macs), this commit alters FramebufferManager
to attach a new stencil buffer and VertexManager to draw to it when
bounding box is active. `BBoxRead` gets the pixel data from the buffer
and dumbly loops through it to find the bounding box.
This patch can run Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door at almost full
speed (50–60 FPS) without Dual-Core enabled for all common bounding
box-using actions I tested (going through pipes, Plane Mode, Paper
Mode, Prof. Frankly's gate, combat, walking around the overworld, etc.)
on my computer (macOS 10.12.3, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz
DDR3, and Intel Iris 1536 MB).
A few more demanding scenes (e.g. the self-building bridge on the way
to Petalburg) slow to ~15% of their speed without this patch (though
they don't run quite at full speed even on master). The slowdown is
caused almost solely by `glReadPixels` in `OGL::BoundingBox::Get`.
Other implementation ideas:
- Use a stencil buffer that's separate from the depth buffer. This would
require ARB_texture_stencil8 / OpenGL 4.4, which isn't available on
macOS.
- Use `glGetTexImage` instead of `glReadPixels`. This is ~5 FPS slower
on my computer, presumably because it has to transfer the entire
combined depth-stencil buffer instead of only the stencil data.
Getting only stencil data from `glGetTexImage` requires
ARB_texture_stencil8 / OpenGL 4.4, which (again) is not available on
macOS.
- Don't use a PBO, and use `glReadPixels` synchronously. This has no
visible performance effect on my computer, and is theoretically
slower.
GCMemcard.h has quite a bit of different classes implemented within it
that could likely be split up into other files to make it a little
easier to read. However, they should be moved into their own folder
first so that they don't clutter up the base HW directory.
Defaulting to SSL verification off, *and* forcing it to be off even
when the emulated software asks us to enable it is very bad behaviour,
inaccurate and insecure.
Because the old option defaulted to off, we have to change the INI
option name to force the new default to be used. Unfortunate,
but without this we cannot ensure our users' security.
LoadPatches was apparently never being called when booting
Wii discs. Maybe this will fix the recent regression with
cheat codes not getting loaded? I don't know how this
managed to work to begin with, though...
(The call was also moved for WADs, just for consistency.)
