This option was known to break every second game and only boost a bit.
It also seems to be broken because of streaming into pinned memory and buffer storage buffers.
v2: also remove dlc_desc
Older Qualcomm drivers rotated the framebuffer 90 degrees and this fix didn't work.
Now for some obscene reason it rotates a full 180 degrees.
This can at least be worked around by flipping around the image on our end.
On Windows, nvidia don't give us their driver version, so we can't workaround any issues.
As buffer_storage is broken on some drivers, we wanted to disble it for them.
So we can't.
Luckyly only "some" released driver versions are affected as this extension is only available since some months. Let's hope that nobody have to use one of this driver version, else they will get a black screen ...
OSX has their own driver, so performance issues aren't shared with the nvidia driver (unlike the closed source linux and windows nvidia driver). So now they'll also use the MapAndSync backend like all other osx drivers.
fixes issue 6596
I've also cleaned up the if/else block selecting the best backend a bit.
The new chapter title in Paper Mario TTYD had a small graphical bug due to the new code because it read one extra pixel, this fixes it.
I hope this gets everything, I though I had checked most bugs and yet here I am, commit-spamming...
Fixes some remaining bbox related bugs in Mickey's Magical Mirror and a slight graphical glitch in Paper Mario: TTYD when flipping and Vivian as your companion (I've been scratching my head for days to find this one).
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.
This branch is the final step of fully supporting both OpenGL and OpenGL ES in the same binary.
This of course only applies to EGL and won't work for GLX/AGL/WGL since they don't really support GL ES.
The changes here actually aren't too terrible, basically change every #ifdef USE_GLES to a runtime check.
This adds a DetectMode() function to the EGL context backend.
EGL will iterate through each of the configs and check for GL, GLES3_KHR, and GLES2 bits
After that it'll change the mode from _DETECT to whichever one is the best supported.
After that point we'll just create a context with the mode that was detected
As we do lots of writes to *Iptr, the compiler isn't allowed to cache any shared variable (neither index nor Iptr itself).
This commit inlines Iptr + index into the index generator functions, so the compiler know that they are const.
We are used to render them out of order as long as everything else matches, but rendering order does matter, so we have to flush on primitive switch. This commit implements this flush.
Also as we flush on primitive switch, we don't have to create three different index buffers. All indices are now stored in one buffer.
This will slow down games which switch often primitive types (eg ztp), but it should be more accurate.
This "u32 components" is a list of flags which attributes of the vertex loader are present.
We are used to append this variable to lots of vertex generation functions, but some of them don't need it at all.
The usual way to handle this kind of request is to rise a flag which the gpu thread polls.
The gpu thread itself either generates the result or just write zeros if disabled.
After this, it rise another flag which says that this work is done.
So if disabled, we still have the cpu-gpu round trip time. This commit just returns 0 on the cpu thread
instead of playing ping pong...
Some information on this bug since this isn't quite true.
Seemingly with the v53 driver, Qualcomm has actually fixed this bug. So we can dynamically access UBO array members.
The issue that is cropping up is actually converting our attribute 'fposmtx' to an integer.
int posmtx = int(fpostmtx);
This line causes some seemingly garbage values to enter in to the posmtx variable.
Not sure exactly why it is failing, probably them just not actually converting the float to an integer and just handling the float directly as a integer.
So the bug is going to stay active with Qualcomm devices until we convert this vertex attribute from a float to a integer.
Let's talk a bit about this bug. 12nd oldest bug not fixed in Dolphin, it was a
lot of fun to debug and it kept me busy for a while :)
Shoutout to Nintendo for framework.map, without which this could have taken a
lot longer.
Basic debugging using apitrace shows that the heat effect is rendered in an
interesting way:
* An EFB copy texture is created, using the hardware scaler to divide the
texture resolution by two and that way create the blur effect.
* This texture is then warped using indirect texturing: a deformation map is
used to "move" the texture coordinates used to sample the framebuffer copy.
Pixel shader: http://pastie.org/private/25oe1pqn6s0h5yieks1jfw
Interestingly, when looking at apitrace, the deformation texture was only 4x4
pixels... weird. It also does not have any feature that you would expect from a
deformation map. Seeing how the heat effect glitches, this deformation texture
being wrong looks like a good candidate for the problem. Let's see how it's
loaded!
By NOPing random calls to GXSetTevIndirect, we find a call that when removed
breaks the effect completely. The parameters used for this call come from the
results of methods of JPAExTexShapeArc objects. 3 different objects go through
this code path, by breaking each one we can notice that the one "controlling"
the heat effect is the one at 0x81575b98.
Following the path of this object a bit more, we can see that it has a method
called "getIndTexId". When this is called, the returned texture ID is used to
index a map and get a JPATextureArc object stored at 0x81577bec.
Nice feature of JPATextureArc: they have a getName method. For this object, it
returns "AK_kagerouInd01". We can probably use that to see how this texture
should look like, by loading it "manually" from the Wind Waker DVD.
Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. Fortunately @Abahbob got me the
texture I wanted in less than 10min after I asked him on Twitter.
AK_kagerouInd01 is a 32x32 texture that really looks like a deformation map:
http://i.imgur.com/0TfZEVj.png . Fun fact: "kagerou" means "heat haze" in JP.
So apparently we're not using the right texture object when rendering! The
GXTexObj that maps to the JPATextureArc is at offset 0x81577bf0 and points to
data at 0x80ed0460, but we're loading texture data from 0x0039d860 instead.
I started to suspect the BP write that loads the texture parameters "did not
work" somehow. Logged that and yes: nothing gets loaded to texture stage 1! ...
but it turns out this is normal, the deformation map is loaded to texture stage
5 (hardcoded in the DOL). Wait, why is the TextureCache trying to load from
texture stage 1 then?!
Because someone sucked at hex.
Fixes issue 2338.
At the moment, custom textures with:
- invalid mipmap size
- invalid aspect ratio
- non-fractional scaling factors
are allowed. But they can't be loaded fine by the backend, so generate a warning if someone trys to load them.
fixes issue 6898
OpenGL defaults are GL_REPEAT, which is even more unlikely than GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE.
As I can't test the behavoir of the real hardware, I changed it to how it works before,
but I guess just clip the texture makes more sense.
This flag wasn't cleared at all, so we set our constants dirty every time...
This could fix some performance regressions because of revision 6798a4763e
This removes the redundant code and also implements this feature for OSX and Wayland.
But so it's dropped for non-wx builds...
imo DolphinWX still isn't the best place for this, but now it's in the same file as all other hotkeys. Maybe they'll be moved to InputCommon sometimes at once ...
Now OGL doesn't rely on WX for PNG saving.
FlipImageData supports (pixel data len > 3) now.
TextureToPng is now in ImageWrite.cpp/h
Video Common depends on zlib and png.
D3D no longer depends on zlib and png.
Revert "Actually, filename really does need to be a parameter because of some random debug thing."
Revert "fix non-HAVE_WX case"
Revert "Handle screenshot saving in RenderBase. Removes dependency on D3DX11 for screenshots (texture dumping is still broken)."
This reverts commits 00fe5057f1, 74b5fb3ab4, cd46138d29 and 5f72542e06 because taking screenshots in D3D still crashed for me so there was no point in the code changes (which I found ugly anyway).
This reverts commit 6cece6b486.
In fact, there was a _huge_ speedup on lots of games (mostly on nvidia+ogl), but there are some crashes on D3D.
I have to fix this crash and then I'll commit something like this again :-)

We often need the same native texture objects for new textures. This commit
try to avoid destroying and creation of this textures by pooling them.
This should be a big performance gain for some efb2ram games as they may
overwrites partially a cached texture (which would be deleted) and afterwards
try to read it.
Creating/destroying sounds like an easy task, but it isn't. eg the nvidia ogl
driver synchonize their threads do avoid use-after-free issues.
D3D doesn't allow bigger viewports than rendertargets. But flipper does, so the viewport will be clipped and the transformation matrix will be changed.
This was done in the D3D backend itself. This is now moved into VideoCommon. This don't reduce code, but in this way, VideoCommon doesn't depend on the backends.
This isn't needed for both OGL+D3D11 as they support sample shading directly. So we
could use the common MSAA util shaders instead of writing custom ones.
* Currently there is no DEBUGFAST configuration. Defining DEBUGFAST as a preprocessor definition in Base.props (or a global header) enables it for now, pending a better method. This was done to make managing the build harder to screw up. However it may not even be an issue anymore with the new .props usage.
* D3DX11SaveTextureToFile usage is dropped and not replaced.
* If you have $(DXSDK_DIR) in your global property sheets (Microsoft.Cpp.$(PlatformName).user), you need to remove it. The build will error out with a message if it's configured incorrectly.
* If you are on Windows 8 or above, you no longer need the June 2010 DirectX SDK installed to build dolphin. If you are in this situation, it is still required if you want your built binaries to be able to use XAudio2 and XInput on previous Windows versions.
* GLew updated to 1.10.0
* compiler switches added: /volatile:iso, /d2Zi+
* LTCG available via msbuild property: DolphinRelease
* SDL updated to 2.0.0
* All Externals (excl. OpenAL and SDL) are built from source.
* Now uses STL version of std::{mutex,condition_variable,thread}
* Now uses Build as root directory for *all* intermediate files
* Binary directory is populated as post-build msbuild action
* .gitignore is simplified
* UnitTests project is no longer compiled
D3D9 only supports 8 texcoords. But we need a new one for ppl, so we just store it in the first 4 texcoords in the free 4th component.
This isn't needed for both d3d11 and ogl3, so just remove it.
This isn't needed in VertexShaderManager as it's still in the old dirty flag way.
But it's very importend for PixelShaderManager as some float4s aren't initialized as 0.0f
The old way was to use a dirty flag per setter. Now we just update the const buffer per setter directly.
The old optimization isn't needed any more as the setters don't call the backend any more.
The follow parts are rewritten:
Alpha
ZTextureType
zbias
FogParam
FogColor
Color
TexDim
IndMatrix
MaterialColor
FogRangeAdjust
Lights
The upload in the backend isn't done, it's just pushed by the mostly removed SetMulti*SConstant4fv.
Also no optimizations was done on VideoCommon side, but I can start now :-)
Sorry for the hacky way, but I think this is a nice (working) snapshot for a much bigger change.
It changes the string in the Android backend select to just OpenGL ES.
Adds a check in the Android code to check for Tegra 4 and to enable the option to select the OpenGL ES backend.
Adds a DriverDetails bug under BUG_ISTEGRA as a blanket case of Tegra 4 support.
The changes that effects most lines in this change. Removing all float suffixes in the pixel/vertex/util shaders since OpenGL ES 2 doesn't support float suffixes.
Disables the shaders for reinterpreting the EFB format since Tegra 4 doesn't support integers.
Changes GLFunctions.cpp to grab the correct Tegra extension functions.
Readds the GLSL 1.2 'hacks' as GLSLES2 'hacks' since they are required for GLSL ES 2
Adds a GLSLES2 to the GLSL_VERSION enum.
Disable the SamplerCache on Tegra since Tegra doesn't support samplers...
Enable glBufferSubData on Tegra since it is the only mobile GPU to correctly work with it.
Disable glDrawRangeElements on Tegra since it doesn't support it, This uses glDrawElements instead.
- Call ABI_AlignStack even on x86-64.
- Have ABI_AlignStack respect the difference in current alignment
between the root JIT function, which has a prolog, and
ProtectFunction thunks, which do not. This was causing many games
to crash on start on OS X. Since this might otherwise mean changing
the stack pointer before every call...
- Have one prolog/epilog function rather than two (one of which
definitely did not do what it was thought to do), and make it
actually work like a normal one, so that the stack frame shows up
properly in the debugger. There should be no performance impact.
attn is sometimes very big (eg 1e27), so attn*attn doesn't fit into a float.
So the funny part here is: 0.0 * (1e27*1e27) = 0.0 * Inf = NaN
As the shader compiler is allowed to change the order of multiplications,
this issue isn't fixed completely.
Use strings internally, use a multimap and std::function for callbacks (instead
of a flat vector + loop over the vector to find the right callback type), fix
coding style issues. Simplify MainAndroid code a bit.
It's possible to configure to use the vertex color as lightning source without enabling the vertex color at all.
The old implementation will use zero, but it seems to be wrong (prooven by THPS3), more likely is to disable
the lightning and just return the global color.
This fixes THPS3 on OpenGL, but it isn't verifed on hardware
- rewrite loops to not use divisions and multiplications
- remove warnings as the current implementations seems to be correct (ignore additional vertices)
use always ppd is a huge gpu performance drop: 20%-50%
and always disable it cause some rendering issues
so there is an option again
But this time it's called "Fast Depth Calculation"
fix issue 6282
The Last Story seems to render a fan with two vertices. It is non-sense as it
shouldn't do anything, but the code underflows at (u32)numVerts-3
Block braces on new lines.
Also killed off trailing whitespace and dangling elses.
Spaced some things out to make them more readable (only in places where it looked like a bit of a clusterfuck).
See Render.cpp, PixelShaderGen.cpp, and PixelShaderManager.cpp for most of the changes.
See VertexShaderManager.cpp for a logging typo fix.
See SWRenderer.cpp for a small typo fix for a message that gets swprintf'd in DrawDebugText.
See SWVertexLoader.cpp for a typo fix of an assert message.
Should slightly improve the readability of some of those files.
