more specifically: if the emulator stops unexpectedly, it is quite possible that one of the shader cache files will have some bytes near the end that never got their values filled in. this change adds an index number at the end of each entry as extra verification that the entry is valid, so that invalid entries can be ignored (and eventually overwritten) instead of causing crashes.
To use the native code handler, place the kenobiwii.bin file into the Sys directory. Dolphin will silently fall-back to the emulated code handler if the file is not there.
Fixes issue 4561.
This is arguably better then using the slot0 device for slot1, because it maps
the real hardware better (nothing can be mounted on slot1 on a Wii AFAICT).
This also makes Kirby: Return to Dreamland work properly and fixes some of the
SD card problems (libs do not expect to have the same SD card mounted two times
in RW...).
This reverts commit 9a627e89fb.
The attempted Kirby: Return to Dreamland fix does not work properly and while
it fixes this particular game, it completely breaks SD card support on Dolphin.
BTW, I've never head of /dev/sdio/slot2 before...
Also re - implement the emulation issues column that was reverted, make it a bit bigger since sentences need more words and delete the issues portion of the emustate tooltip since it is unnecessary now.
This should make it so if you try to load an incompatible save, it simply doesn't load, instead of crashing dolphin. (I can't guarantee no crash but it's much less likely now)
The "Notes" column is gone and in it's place an "Emulation Notes" column is placed (it contains the emulationissues lines from the game inis). Notes that contain useful info about the game can be seen with just a glance this way.
Fixes issue 5043.
The "dsptool" executable is not included in the bundle.
The "tester" executable is not included in the bundle and it no longer
installed on other platforms, since it is neither expected nor useful
to install unit tests.
The code from 748be364e5 incorrectly accepted -0x100000000 on x86_64.
Also if ERANGE is returned by strtoul(), reject the parsed value regardless
of what that value is. This fixes invalid values being returned when compiling
with Visual C++. Thanks to "cotton" for testing this.
The following changes were made:
Restricted the "-march=core2" option to i386 because the first Intel Macs
had Intel Core CPUs, not Core2.
Removed the "-mdynamic-no-pic" flag as GCC lists it as a PPC specific flag.
Removed "-Wl,-read_only_relocs,suppress" because it seems to be related
to "-mdynamic-no-pic" and I see no need for it.
Removed "-Wextra-tokens -Wnewline-eof" because they are GCC specific and
not OS X specific.
This allows us to add keys that don't exist in the CMake template.
I added the keys from the Info.plist that was generated by our SCons build
to the new template.
Previously, there was just one list of frameworks regardless of which part
of the code depended on which frameworks. Now we keep separate lists for
the Dolphin core, the Dolphin GUI and internal use by wxWidgets.
To enforce SM2.0 compatibility, the OpenGL plugin was made to crash when
compiling a shader which does not fit in the SM2.0a limits. However, on some
combinations of OS/drivers/GPU, our shaders already do not fit in these limits,
causing artificial failures only to try to keep a non existant SM2.0a compat.
Basically, this sucks.
This commit increases the artificial limit to SM3.0. If you're using a GPU
which does not support SM3.0 and Dolphin works properly, this should not cause
any problem at all.
On x86-64, "unsigned long" is 64 bits wide, so it is possible for a number
to not trigger a range error on strtoul() but still not fit inside an u32.
An extra check is added to ensure that 32-bit and 64-bit builds will accept
the same numbers.
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).
Passing MAP_FIXED to mmap causes already mapped pages in the requested
region to be replaced. On Mac OS X this caused pages for JIT-generatd
code to appear in the memory range previously auto-allocated for the RAM
of the emulated machine. This led to a hang at boot time. The same problem
can probably occur on FreeBSD, but not on Linux since MAP_32BIT is used
there instead of MAP_FIXED.
The solution is to not use MAP_FIXED, but instead rely on the OS honoring
the hinted address which is below 4 GB: we don't need an exact match,
just a low address.
- 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.
Most of the games using EFB peeks are suffering from major performance problems
when these peeks are not disabled in the graphics settings. This is an attempt
to fix this in the GL renderer by doing the glReadPixels in bulk: instead of
doing a lot of 1x1 pixel reads, read for 64x64 pixels at once and keep that in
a cache.
Deck menu in Baten Kaitos: 3FPS -> 54FPS
Character creation in Monster Hunter Tri: 7FPS -> 60FPS
Added GameCube Microphone support. Uses your default audio recording device. The Microphone is selectable from the Slot A/Slot B pulldowns under the GameCube tab. The Microphone button can be set under GCPad configuration for pad 1 and 2. Thanks to MooglyGuy and skidau.
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.

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:
