Updates for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Surf's Up, Drawn to Life The Next
Chapter, Boogie, Boogie SuperStar, Quantum of Solace, Tiger Woods PGA
Tour 08, Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Fixes issues 9123, 9191, 9204, 9205, 9206, 9050, 9183.
091db36 added a new delay for disc commands in an attempt to fix issues.
It fixed Sonic Riders crashing after the third level... or so we thought.
091db36 also happened changed the order disc reads happen in so that the
data is copied to memory before the emulated delay is finished. This was
inaccurate and caused an audio problem in Resident Evil 3, leading to the
old order being restored in 8cc6e5c. Now that the order is correct,
Sonic Riders is broken again, despite 091db36's delay still existing.
We're more or less back to square one - nobody knows what's broken, and
nobody knows how to fix it. This commit restores SUDTR to Sonic Rider's
game INI so that it'll work out of the box in 5.0 just like in 4.0.
This is mainly a virtual console update. Removes progressive scan option
from snes, genesis, etc. games since it is no longer needed for proper
speed. Adds gameinis for Neo geo, Arcade and missing gameinis for
genesis.
Main Stick is changed to Control Stick and C-Stick is changed to C Stick.
A new ui_name variable is added to ControlGroup so that the UI strings
in DolphinWX can be updated without breaking backwards compatibility
with config INIs and other things that use names as IDs.
Lost Levels NES VC game was missing an INI file and prevented it from
displaying anything but a black screen. This seems to get the graphics
working.
Played though 1-2 without issue.
While going through and testing various NES VC games, I noticed Mega Man
5 was just displaying a black screen but the sound and button inputs
were working as expected. Turns out, there is no INI file for that game
id. Copying and renaming Mega Man 4's INI file appears to be enough to
get the game going.
Stereoscopy values have been tested and a convergence value of 26 is ideal for placing the characters on the convergence plane. No perceived issues with disabling monoscopic shadows.
Completely rewritten Global Melee Netplay Settings. The individual codes can be found here (http://pastebin.com/38CFazXq). The previous Global Melee Netplay Settings have some issues such as not being able to change the random stage select, various crashes in 1P mode, friendly fire being off by default, and a general lack of new features due to its age. Needs to be tested for stability.
Fixes issues 8713 and 8674. Also disables scaled efb copies by default
for New Super Mario Bros to take advantage of the recent efb to texture
spinning coin fix.
Fixes issue 8637 by replacing SkipIdle=0 with SyncOnSkipIdle = False.
Updates gameinis for Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero, Pokemon
Snap and fixes a mistake in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.
Gameinis are added/updated for:
Shrek SuperSlam, Disney's Donald Duck Goin' Quackers, The Fairly
OddParents: Shadow Showdown, Hot Wheels World Race, MySims Agents, Punch
Out, Alien Syndrome, My Word Coach, Secret Files Tunguska and Secret
Files 2 Puritas Cordis.
Having settings for each game in more than one file is redundant.
Now, region-free INIs are now only for settings, and region-specific
INIs are only for AR codes and patches. Exceptions are made for
titles that share the first three characters of their IDs with
unrelated titles (mostly unlicensed titles and Triforce titles).
Removes STC from Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike: Limited
Edition Bonus Disc (Demo). Removes efb to ram setting from Tiger Woods
PGA TOUR 2005, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06, Mission: Impossible Operation
Surma and Terminator 3: The Redemption since it is no longer needed.
Sets Army Men Air Combat and Pac-Man World 3 to LLE audio due to audio
issues with HLE (slow audio). Corrects some mistakes in F zero (virtual
console) and The Magic Obelisk ini files. Finally it removes comments
that are simply stating the obvious and references to revs that games
were tested with.
