The D3D / OGL backends only ever used RGBA textures, and the Software
backend uses its own custom code for sampling. The ARGB path seems to
just be dead code.
Since ARGB and RGBA formats are similar, I don't think this will make
the code more difficult to read or unable to be used as
reference. Somebody who wants to use this code to output ARGB can simply
modify the MakeRGBA function to put the shift at the other end.
The only possible functionality change is that s_efbAccessRequested and
s_swapRequested are no longer reset at init and shutdown of the OGL
backend (only; this is the only interaction any files other than
MainBase.cpp have with them). I am fairly certain this was entirely
vestigial.
Possible performance implications: efbAccessReady now uses an Event
rather than spinning, which might be slightly slower, but considering
the slow loop the flags are being checked in from the GPU thread, I
doubt it's noticeable.
Also, this uses sequentially consistent rather than release/acquire
memory order, which might be slightly slower, especially on ARM...
something to improve in Event/Flag, really.
This is effectively unused, as the window handles that we pass to the
GLInterface are window handles for the frame which isn't ever a real
toplevel window. Host_UpdateTitle is what actually sets the proper title
on the render window.
Now that MainNoGUI is properly architected and GLX doesn't need to
sometimes craft its own windows sometimes which we have to thread back
into MainNoGUI, we don't need to thread the window handle that GLX
creates at all.
This removes the reference to pass back here, and the g_pWindowHandle
always be the same as the window returned by Host_GetRenderHandle().
A future cleanup could remove g_pWindowHandle entirely.
Fixes a bug where "Use Fullscreen" would initialize into exclusive fullscreen regardless of the borderless fullscreen setting.
Also relieves the need for the video renderer to check the borderless fullscreen setting each time.
It was only used for Windows XP and lower.
This also bumps the _WIN32_WINNT define in the stdafx precompiled headers to set the minimum version as Windows Vista.
The hack was needed because the Nvidia 3D Vision heuristics are documented to only support surfaces that are the same size as the backbuffer. This would be the case if you enabled the hack and selected the "Auto (Window Size)" internal resolution.
However, on recent drivers the same effect is achieved by selecting the "Auto (Multiple)" internal resolution. Therefore the hack is no longer required.
Also have the renderer remember its own fullscreen state. This is done to prevent a case where we exit exclusive fullscreen through the configuration and a focus shift at the same time. In this case the renderer would fail to detect that the fullscreen state was changed.
This ensures the transition from/to exclusive mode happens while the RenderFrame is fullscreen.
This prevents fullscreen loops and relieves us of having to restore the window size after we exit fullscreen.
With strings, we don't need to care about passing in a length, since it internally stores it. So now, we don't even need a length parameter for these functions anymore as well.
This also kills off some sprintf_s calls.
- Isolate it into it's own namespace
- Shorten function names, the namespace self-documents.
- Just use the std I/O, we can just write directly to the stream for
logging.
For quite a while this has been causing integer division to generate a warning as error, blocking shader compiling. This means probably no one has even been running D3D in debug builds...
I tried disabling the warning with a #pragma, but it doesn't seem to apply when this flag is used.
We need to explicitly round when converting colors from float to uint
because multiplying a normalized float by 255 might not result in a whole
number. (The exact result here may vary depending on your
drivers/hardware.)
Ideally, we shouldn't be using floating point here, but fixing that is a
much more complicated patch.
Fixes gxtest TEV tests using Intel HD 4000.
CreateInputLayout requires a shader as an input, but it only cares about
the signature; we don't need to recompute it for different shaders with
the same inputs.
Trying to use GetDepthMatrixProgram outside of
TCacheEntry::FromRenderTarget is a bad idea, so don't. Instead, use a
shader which only copies the input.
Fixes lens flare depth test in Twilight Princess. See
http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=5999 .
- remove unused variables
- reduce the scope where it makes sense
- correct limits (did you know that strcat()'s last parameter does not
include the \0 that is always added?)
- set some free()'d pointers to NULL
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
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...
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).
The Dolphin development team is incapable of providing sufficient replacement for its previous usage in Dolphin and the advantages of dropping the dependency do not justify the removal of screenshots and texture dumping.
From now on, d3dx11.h, d3dx11async.h, d3dx11core.h and d3dx11tex.h are required to be stored somewhere in the header include path. I don't know if this is the case for anyone else than me, but I can't really say that I care after having people randomly merge unfinished branches into master.
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.
* 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
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.
