Well, that's not strictly true, but trying to memcpy between two buffers
using different row lengths and different strides is at minimum extremely
unintuitive.
This changes the behavior if both texture are available. The old code did
try to load the modfied texID, the new code tries the unmodified texID first.
- Calculate ZSlope every flush but only set PixelShader Constant on Reset Buffer when zfreeze
- Fixed another Pixel Shader bug in D3D that was giving me grief
Results are still not correct, but things are getting closer.
* Don't cull CULLALL primitives so early so they can be used as reference
planes.
* Convert CalculateZSlope to screenspace coordinates.
* Convert Pixelshader to screenspace coordinates (instead of worldspace
xy coordinates, which is totally wrong)
* Divide depth by 2^24 instead of clamping to 0.0-1.0 as was done
before.
Progress:
* Rouge Squadron 2/3 appear correct in game (videos in rs2 save file
selection are missing)
* Shadows draw 100% correctly in NHL 2003.
* Mario golf menu renders correctly.
* NFS: HP2, shadows sometimes render on top of car or below the road.
* Mario Tennis, courts and shadows render correctly, but at wrong depth
* Blood Omen 2, doesn't work.
Based on the feedback from pull request #1767 I have put in most of
degasus's suggestions in here now.
I think we have a real winner here as moving the code to
VertexManagerBase for a function has allowed OGL to utilize zfreeze now
:)
Correct use of the vertex pointer has also corrected most of the issue
found in pull request #1767 that JMC47 stated. Which also for me now
has Mario Tennis working with no polygon spikes on the characters
anymore! Shadows are still an issue and probably in the other games
with shadow problems. Rebel Strike also seems better but random skybox
glitches can show up.
Initial port of original zfreeze branch (3.5-1729) by neobrain into
most recent build of Dolphin.
Makes Rogue Squadron 2 very playable at full speed thanks to recent core
speedups made to Dolphin. Works on DirectX Video plugin only for now.
Enjoy! and Merry Xmas!!
On locales that don't use period as a separator this would break us.
For vector values in a configuration, we use comma as a separator which causes the configuration to balloon to massive sizes due to never saving them
correctly. Loading would then break since it would load a million configuration options.
Fixes issue #7569.
Allows the UI to easily check the current exclusive mode state.
This simplifies a few checks and prevents the user from ever getting stuck in fullscreen.
Don't change the texID depending on the tlut_hash for paletted textures that are efb copies and don't have an entry in the cache for texID ^ tlut_hash. This makes those textures less broken when using efb to texture.
This is not really fixing those textures, but it's a step forward. The mini map in Twilight Princess for example is in grayscales with this and is more or less usable.
We'll loose data on invalidating them. So just keep them until a new copy is done.
A wrong scaled copy is better than no copy if the game doesn't creates a new one.
This reverts an optimization which isn't worth imo. Every texture uploads have to alloc vram and a staging buffer, so there is no need to do both in the same call.
Previously it was packed into spare slots in clippos.xy and normal.w,
but it's ugly and more importantly it's causing bugs.
This was discovered during the debugging of a zfreeze branch, which
expected clippos.xy to be xy position coordinates in clipspace (as
the name suggested).
Turns out the stereoscopy shader had also run into this trap, modifying
clippos.x (introducing errors with per-pixel lighting).
This commit has been moved outside of the zfreeze PR for fast merging.
They are used to remove the flush amounts, but as we don't
flush anymore on vertex loader changes (only on native
vertex format right now), this optimization is now unneeded.
This will allow us to hard code the frac factors within the
vertex loaders.
Fixes a typo where the official IMGTec drivers were said to be the OSS driver support.
Removes Mali GPU family detection just like I removed the Adreno family detection.
We don't support Mali Utgard anyway.
If we need family detection we can properly add it, right now it isn't needed.
Adreno 300 and 400 have the same video driver performance issues because they are very similar architectures which use basically the same thing with
everything.
There isn't any need to detect the family of the driver with Qualcomm anyway. If we ever need family specific bugs then we can implement real support
for that.
Performance issue on Adreno 400 series was due to us only detecting Adreno 300 series, and with Adreno 400 it wouldn't use the bugs, which would cause
it to use glBufferSubData, causing the huge performance hit.
Previously we had decided to busy loop on systems due to Windows' scheduler being terrible and moving us around CPU cores when we yielded.
Along with context switching being a hot spot.
We had decided to busy loop in these situations instead, which allows us greater CPU performance on the video thread.
This can be attributed to multiple things, CPU not downclocking while busy looping, context switches happening less often, yielding taking more time
than a busy loop, etc.
One thing we had considered when moving over to a busy loop is the issues that dual core systems would now face due to Dolphin eating all of their CPU
resources. Effectively we are starving a dual core system of any time to do anything else due to the CPU thread always being pinned at 100% and then
the GPU thread also always at 100% just spinning around. We noted the potential for a performance regression, but dismissed it as most computers are
now becoming quad core or higher.
This change in particular has performance advantages on the dual core Nvidia Denver due to its architecture being nonstandard. If both CPU cores are
maxed out, the CPU can't effectively take any idle time to recompile host code blocks to its native VLIW architecture.
It can still do so, but it does less frequently which results in performance issues in Dolphin due to most code just running through the in-order
instruction decoder instead of the native VLIW architecture.
In one particular example, yielding moves the performance from 35-40FPS to 50-55FPS. So it is far more noticeable on Denver than any other system.
Of course once a triple or quad core Denver system comes out this will no longer be an issue on this architecture since it'll have a free core to do
all of this work.
Seems to be pretty high in the profile in some geometry-heavy games like The
Last Story, and the compiler-generated assembly is terrifyingly bad, so
SSE-ize it.
Just use regular boolean negation in our pixel shader's depth test everywhere except on Qualcomm.
This works around a bug in the Intel Windows driver where comparing a boolean value against true or false fails but boolean negation works fine.
Quite silly.
Should fix issues #7830 and #7899.
This shader constant was previously used for depth remapping in D3D and for pixel center correction. Now it only serves one purpose and the new name makes it clear.
This particular issue was fixed in the v66 (07-08-2014) development drivers from Qualcomm.
To make sure we cover all drivers that may or may not have the issue fixed, make sure to mandate v95 minimum to work around the issue.
The next commit is the actual work around for post processing for this.
Due to changes in how we render to the final framebuffer we no longer encounter this bug.
With the change to post processing being enabled at all times and no longer using glBlitFramebuffer, Qualcomm no longer has the chance to rotate our
framebuffer underneath of us.
This particular bug from our friends over at Qualcomm manifests itself due to our alpha testing code having a conditional if statement in it.
This is a fairly recent breakage this time around, it was introduced in the v95 driver which comes with Android 5.0 on the Nexus 5.
So to break this issue down; In our alpha testing code we have two comparisons that happen and if they are true we will continue rendering, but if
they aren't true we do an early discard and return. This is summed up with a fairly simple if statement.
if (!(condition_1 <logic op> condition_2)) { /* discard and return */ }
This particular issue isn't actually due to the conditions within the if statement, but the negation of the result. This is the particular issue that
causes Qualcomm to fall flat on its face while doing so.
I've got two simple test cases that demonstrate this.
Non-working: http://hastebin.com/evugohixov.avrasm
Working: http://hastebin.com/afimesuwen.avrasm
As one can see, the disassembled output between the two shaders is different even though in reality it should have the same visual result.
I'm currently writing up a simple test program for Qualcomm to enjoy, since they will be asking for one when I tell them about the bug.
It will be tracked in our video driver failure spreadsheet along with the others.
We will now rely on Memory::CopyFromEmu to do bounds checking.
Some games actually load palettes from 0x00000000, despite the
fact no valid palette data should ever be there.
Fixes Issue 7792.
The timing information is set on s_scaled_frame->pts, giving precise
timing information to the encoder. Frames arriving too early (less than
one tick after the previous frame) are droped. The setting of packet's
timestamps and flags is done after the call to avcodec_encode_video2()
as this function resets these fields according to its documentation.
This is good hygiene, and also happens to be required to build Dolphin
using Clang modules.
(Under this setup, each header file becomes a module, and each #include
is automatically translated to a module import. Recursive includes
still leak through (by default), but modules are compiled independently,
and can't depend on defines or types having previously been set up. The
main reason to retrofit it onto Dolphin is compilation performance - no
more textual includes whatsoever, rather than putting a few blessed
common headers into a PCH. Unfortunately, I found multiple Clang bugs
while trying to build Dolphin this way, so it's not ready yet, but I can
start with this prerequisite.)
ShaderConstantProfile and ShaderUid now have an empty implementation
of Write() that uses variadic templates instead of varargs. MSVC is now
able to inline and optimize away this when necessary.
It only ever did anything on 32-bit OS X.
Anyway, it wasn't even on the right functions, and these days
ABI_PushRegistersAndAdjustStack should handle maintaining the ABI
correctly.
It now affects the GPU determinism mode as well as some miscellaneous
things that were calling IsNetPlayRunning. Probably incomplete.
Notably, this can change while paused, if the user starts recording a
movie. The movie code appears to have been missing locking between
setting g_playMode and doing other things, which probably had a small
chance of causing crashes or even desynced movies; fix that with
PauseAndLock.
The next commit will add a hidden config variable to override GPU
determinism mode.
It's a relatively big commit (less big with -w), but it's hard to test
any of this separately...
The basic problem is that in netplay or movies, the state of the CPU
must be deterministic, including when the game receives notification
that the GPU has processed FIFO data. Dual core mode notifies the game
whenever the GPU thread actually gets around to doing the work, so it
isn't deterministic. Single core mode is because it notifies the game
'instantly' (after processing the data synchronously), but it's too slow
for many systems and games.
My old dc-netplay branch worked as follows: everything worked as normal
except the state of the CP registers was a lie, and the CPU thread only
delivered results when idle detection triggered (waiting for the GPU if
they weren't ready at that point). Usually, a game is idle iff all the
work for the frame has been done, except for a small amount of work
depending on the GPU result, so neither the CPU or the GPU waiting on
the other affected performance much. However, it's possible that the
game could be waiting for some earlier interrupt, and any of several
games which, for whatever reason, never went into a detectable idle
(even when I tried to improve the detection) would never receive results
at all. (The current method should have better compatibility, but it
also has slightly higher overhead and breaks some other things, so I
want to reimplement this, hopefully with less impact on the code, in the
future.)
With this commit, the basic idea is that the CPU thread acts as if the
work has been done instantly, like single core mode, but actually hands
it off asynchronously to the GPU thread (after backing up some data that
the game might change in memory before it's actually done). Since the
work isn't done, any feedback from the GPU to the CPU, such as real
XFB/EFB copies (virtual are OK), EFB pokes, performance queries, etc. is
broken; but most games work with these options disabled, and there is no
need to try to detect what the CPU thread is doing.
Technically: when the flag g_use_deterministic_gpu_thread (currently
stuck on) is on, the CPU thread calls RunGpu like in single core mode.
This function synchronously copies the data from the FIFO to the
internal video buffer and updates the CP registers, interrupts, etc.
However, instead of the regular ReadDataFromFifo followed by running the
opcode decoder, it runs ReadDataFromFifoOnCPU ->
OpcodeDecoder_Preprocess, which relatively quickly scans through the
FIFO data, detects SetFinish calls etc., which are immediately fired,
and saves certain associated data from memory (e.g. display lists) in
AuxBuffers (a parallel stream to the main FIFO, which is a bit slow at
the moment), before handing the data off to the GPU thread to actually
render. That makes up the bulk of this commit.
In various circumstances, including the aforementioned EFB pokes and
performance queries as well as swap requests (i.e. the end of a frame -
we don't want the CPU potentially pumping out frames too quickly and the
GPU falling behind*), SyncGPU is called to wait for actual completion.
The overhead mainly comes from OpcodeDecoder_Preprocess (which is,
again, synchronous), as well as the actual copying.
Currently, display lists and such are escrowed from main memory even
though they usually won't change over the course of a frame, and
textures are not even though they might, resulting in a small chance of
graphical glitches. When the texture locking (i.e. fault on write) code
lands, I can make this all correct and maybe a little faster.
* This suggests an alternate determinism method of just delaying results
until a short time before the end of each frame. For all I know this
might mostly work - I haven't tried it - but if any significant work
hinges on the competion of render to texture etc., the frame will be
missed.
