Axis range was previously calculated as max + abs(min), which relies on the assumption that
min will not exceed 0. For (min, max) values like (0, 255) or (-128, 127), which I assume to
be the most common cases, the range is correctly calculated as 255. However, given (20,
235), the range is erroneously calculated as 255, leading to axis values being normalized
incorrectly.
SDL already handles this case correctly. After changing the range calculation to max - min,
the axis values received from the evdev backend are practically identical to the values
received from the SDL backend.
This has no effect now, as we've never bumped the database version.
Instead, it adds future proofing, and makes moving between a future
version with a bump and master clean.
We shouldn't try to create folder names that contain characters
such as : or / since they are forbidden or have special meanings.
(No officially released disc uses such characters, though.)
Now that all inputs are corrected to zero-centered, we can use getFlat()
to ignore movements that are just noise.
This eliminates a lot of drift when the controller is at rest, notably
on the character select screen in Melee.
Android reports the same physical axis multiple times for analog
triggers, and this handles this case.
There are also some controllers with broken mappings (eg the analog
triggers on a PS4 DualShock 4). These axis don't center correctly.
There are also some controllers (again, the PS4) that send both a button
press and an axis movement. This ignores the buttons so we can use the
analog axis. Otherwise, since the button comes before the axis moves
far we would always take the button.
There has been a lot of confusion about what the CPU clock override
section does among users, and looking at it… I’m not surprised! It
doesn’t directly state which CPU clock rate is being overridden!
This small change adjusts the language to clarify that the emulated CPU
is being adjusted.
The main problem was that the volume of the mixer wasn't savestated.
The volume is typically 0 at the beginning of a game, so loading a
savestate at the beginning of a game would lead to silent DTK audio.
I also added savestating to StreamADPCM.cpp.
Nowadays that Dolphin detects regions of discs properly and doesn't
force programs with unknown regions (such as homebrew) into running
under a certain region, the "Force Console as NTSC-J" option is
practically useless for making anything run correctly. Enabling it
is however an easy way to totally break many non-Japanese games.
The earlier code always tried to use TitleDatabase for getting
title names, but that didn't work for disc-based games, because
there was no way to get the maker ID.
Some lines of code in Dolphin just plainly grabbed the value of
g_ActiveConfig.iEFBScale, which resulted in Auto being treated as
0x rather than the actual automatically selected scale.
This reverts commit 1fc910b3ea,
replacing the old INI setting EFBScale with a new INI setting
called InternalResolution, which has a simpler mapping:
| EFBScale | InternalResolution
----------------- | -------------------- | --------------------
Auto (fractional) | 0 |
Auto (integral) | 1 | 0
1x | 2 | 1
1.5x | 3 |
2x | 4 | 2
2.5x | 5 |
3x | 6 | 3
4x | 7 | 4
5x | 8 | 5
6x | 9 | 6
All the fractional IRs were removed in f090a943.
