Fixed EFB cache index computations in OpenGL renderer.
The previous computation was very likely to go out of array bounds,
which could result in crashes on EFB access.
Also, the cache size was rounded down instead of up. This is a problem
since EFB_HEIGHT (528) is not a multiple of EFB_CACHE_RECT_SIZE (64).
Very useful to compare performance between two builds, check the impact of
a configuration option, etc. FPS log is stored in User/Logs/fps.txt and is
reset each time you launch a game. Only enabled if you check the "Log FPS
to file" option in your graphics settings.
Could be improved a bit: currently logs only every 1s (so you can't really
see small variations), maybe output more infos to the fps.txt like
average/stddev (but Excel/Libreoffice/Google Docs can compute that easily
too).
Super Mario Sunshine is using a cool trick: To determine how much goop has been cleaned in ep. 6 of Sirena Beach, it counts the number of pixels that are input to the blending stage. For that it's using the PE performance registers ;)
Fixes issue 1498.
Reason:
- It's wrong, zcomploc can't be emulated perfectly in HW backends without severely impacting performance.
- It provides virtually no advantages over the previous hack while introducing lots of code.
- There is a better alternative: If people insist on having some sort of valid zcomploc emulation, I suggest rendering each primitive separately while using a _clean_ dual-pass approach to emulate zcomploc.
This reverts commit 0efd4e5c29.
This reverts commit b4ec836aca.
This reverts commit bb4c9e2205.
This reverts commit 146b02615c.
the intent is to replace the haphazard scheduling and finger-crossing associated with saving/loading with the correct and minimal necessary wait for each thread to reach a known safe location before commencing the savestate operation, and for any already-paused components to not need to be resumed to do so.
This branch reduces the number of useless state flushes in the video
emulation layer by checking whether a BP/XF change will have an effect
or not. Greatly reduces the number of GL calls per frame.
Thanks to degasus for his help!
When a game writes the same value that was already configured to a BP
register, Dolphin previously flushed the GPU pipeline and reconfigured
the internal video state (calling SetScissor/SetLineWidth/SetDepthMode).
Some of these useless writes still need to perform actions, for example
writes to the EFB copy trigger or the texture preload registers (which
need to reload the texture from memory).
This adds an "Analyzer" tab to the fifoplayer dialog which allows to conveniently browse through all register pokes that are being sent by the game each frame.
There's also a search function, but it doesn't work all that well for anything but simple searches at the moment. However, I'm merging this anyway since I'm not sure if I'm going to finish this.
Note that due to recent fifo changes, it's not yet possible to run fifoplayer in dual-core mode.
please test for regressions, speed and for other issues fixed, as a example, the black color in water splash in super mario galaxy are fixed with this rev.
please as soon as yo find a bug let me know.
a little code cleaning to avoid duplicated execution of AlphaPreTest and a little correction to some comments from the previous commits.
this change must behave exactly like last revision, if something is broken please let me know
to marcosvitali.
Added an external exception check when the CPU writes to the FIFO. This allows
the CPU time to service FIFO overflows. Fixes random hangs caused by FIFO
overflows and desyncs like in "The Last Story" and "Battalion Wars 2". Thanks
to marcosvitali for the research.
Added some code to unlink invalidated blocks so that the recompiled block can be
linked (speed-up).
This release still fixed the hangs produced by fifo overflow without sacrifice
performance. For example you can test Tutorial moves at the beginning of The last history now
is fluid 30/60.
Fixed possibles random hangs in DC mode.
Fixed hangs in DC mode in (Simpsons, Monkey Island, Pokemon XD, etc)
Implemented accurate management of Pixel Engine Interrupts. Now the GPU loop
is stopped when a PE Interrupt needs to be managed and resumed when Pixel Engine
finish.
Fixed Metroid Prime 3 and 2 desync. And other games with desync because of
FIFO Reset. That happens because FIFO_RW_DISTANCE_HI must be written first, for checking
fifo.CPReadWriteDistance == 0, so some fifo resets was not managed in the right
way.
Fixed Super Monkey Ball in some cases when the game write the
WriteReadDistance need to be safe like the SafeCPRead.
Improved the CheckException for the GatherPipe writes in JIT, now only the
External Exceptions are processed.
Fixed definitely Pokemon XD in dual core mode. This game is doing something
not allowed. It attach to CPU the same fifo attached to the GPU in multibuffer
mode. I added a check to prevent overwrite the GPU FIFO with the CPU FIFO. If
the game do that on breakpoint the solution can fail.
Fixed ReadWriteDistance calc when CPRead > CPWrite.
Added Token and Finish cause to GP Jit checking.
Additional cleanup in CommandProcessor.
Fixes issue 5209
Fixes issue 5055
Fixes issue 4889
Fixes issue 4061
Fixes issue 4010
Fixes issue 3902
This fix is not related with the previous commits, but the previous commits help me to see that because in the new scenery SMB was hanging. May be in the past also doesn't boot some times because of that.
Please Test FZero boot also. Thanks.
The external exceptions in dolphin are checking frequently but is different to real HW, so sometime the game is in a loop checking GPU STATUS, the exceptions doesn't checked, and the game hang.\
For solve this I need a trick: still waiting for the exception handler be linked but if CommandProcecsor is reading the GPStatus, resume this.
This fixed "TimeSplitters: Future Perfect" broken in the Revision c2e6fdf09f and surely others games.
That happens because FIFO_RW_DISTANCE_HI must be written first, for checking fifo.CPReadWriteDistance == 0, so some fifo resets was not managed in the right way.
I didn't test Metroid 2 desync reported in Issue 4336 but I think is the same.
About the flickering in MP2, I don't know for my is not related or yes, but you can test anyway.
Fixed Issue 3902
Well now the FIFO is 99.99% finished :)
- I've fixed hangs in DC mode in (Simpsons, Monkey Island, Pokemon XD, etc)
- I've implemented accurate manage of Pixel Engine Interrupts, now the GPU loop is stopped when a PE Interrupt needs to be managed and resume when Pixel Engine finish,
I think now, the Fifo in DC mode is more accurate than SC mode. :)
Time to close the big fifo Issue 3694 (snif), please if you have a possible fifo issue report this like a game issue.
I was working with Skid_AU together, especially thanks for him.
Test a lot all games, and compare the performance with the master maybe this accuracy has a cost (not a lot).
I think now the fifo is very stable, overflow fixed, random hang fixed, if you have a game with a hang with this rev and not in master please report this.
For example you can test Tutorial moves at the beginning of The last history now is fluid 30/60.
Shuffle2: I've delete the hacky line, I think is not necessary anymore. Additional some clean in CommandProcessor.
Please test The Last Story and others games affected in the previous commits and give me a feedback.

- Fixes all (I hope) BBox-related unknown pointer crashes.
- Fixes wrong BBox values with Frame Skip on (and the resulting unknown pointer crashes).
- Fixes a small oversight on the change I made to the ISO Properties dialog.
This should also be a (very very little) bit faster than the previous version.
Should fix most graphical issues with Paper Mario: TTYD and Super Paper Mario. Fixes issue 360.
Since only those two games seem to require BBox support, and as per ector's suggestion, BBox is only enabled for those two games.
BBoxes and Display List Caches don't get along too well, causing Paper Mario: TTYD to hang during certain effects where BBoxes are used. For now, I disabled DList Cache for the Paper Mario games, hopefully both will be compatible in the future.
zcomploc is a feature of the BP which switch depth test from before the alpha
test to after the alpha test. This way, transparent fragments are written to
the depth buffer too.
The current implementation is quite hacky and does not cover all cases but is
enough to fix problems in a lot of game. A complete implementation would
require a multipass rendering method and is attempted in the
zcomploc-experimental branch.
According to testers feedback, fixes bugs in the following games:
- Baten Kaitos
- Baten Kaitos Origins
- 007: Everything or Nothing
- Ty the Tasmanian Tiger
- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
And probably other games too.
Conflicts (because of new-shadercache-uids):
Source/Core/VideoCommon/Src/PixelShaderGen.cpp
In previous revisions of Dolphin, changing texture generation settings (via
GX_SetTexCoordGen for example) did not regenerate the vertex shader and flush
the vertices. Adding this flush should fix texture problems in a few game, for
example in Superman: Shadow of Apokolips:

After: http://i.imgur.com/2ThES.png
- don't load shader cache from disk in d3d9/11 if shader debugging is enabled (we won't have any info about the source shader code otherwise, etc)
- dump shader source codes on safe UIDs mismatch
Thanks to LordMark and [SS] for reporting those to me ;)
some little corrections in dlist cache code, i thing they will not have effect in the remaining issues but now the code behaves more correctly in some situations.
i discover the solution for the remaining issues bur requires some changes in the vertex translator so will work on them after the upcoming Release.

- Fast Mipmaps enabled
- Safe Texture Cache enabled at "fast"
- showing shader errors by default
- using Native as internal resolution
- using EFB to Texture by default
- ignoring EFB format changes by default (turns out r7436 made this in Super Mario Sunshine unnecessary anyway :P)
Any game which depends on other settings has that specified in the game ini, so I think this should be fine.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@7497 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
Show FPS, Input Display, Statistics, Projection Statistics, EFB Copy Regions, Dump Textures, Dump EFB target, Dump Frames, Free Look, Use FFV1, Show Shader Errors, Texture Format Overlay, WireFrame, Hotkeys and Adapter
- Also removed various game ini config values which were still parsed from the Video section.

Note: Newest nVidia drivers break Dolphins 3D (270.xx), not sure why yet, gonna ask around. It really confused me though when trying to fix this issue, spent at least an hour trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I eventually realised a build I knew worked in 3D was having issues...
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@7487 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
- Added final support to string type (planned implementation reaches 100%)
- Added support to post processing shaders (OpenGL backend)

Also, if the render window size changes while frame dumping, scale the resulting video to prevent clipping on linux. This is a complete fix for issue 4316 on linux. I don't know how to implement this on windows though.
