Mostly relevant if the GS window is set to not hide while paused, but also shows
when the emulation is paused due to plugin config etc.
The string <PAUSED> is configurable via the template at PCSX2_ui.ini (including
making it empty) but currently it always appear at the begining of the title.
It's now possible to press ESC once to pause, and ESC again to resume (or assign
any other key via PCSX2_keys.ini, e.g. to SPACE).
Note that resume only works if the GS window is NOT set to hide on pause (Emu
options -> GS Window), and if the key is pressed while the GS window is focused.
This includes two related changes:
- The command name at PCSX2_keys.ini is now changed to Sys_SuspendResume.
- If the GS window is NOT set to hide on pause, then it stays focused on pause.
--nogui also gains this behavior, so it's now possible to launch without a GUI
and still suspend/resume if the GS window is not set to hide on pause. If it is
set to hide on pause, then the behavior remains as it was: exit PCSX2 on pause,
or prompt to exit/resume if --noguiprompt is provided.
Only relevant if the GS window is set to NOT hide when paused. At this case
there were two issues on Windows:
- Commands were invoked twice.
- Non-special-keys (e.g. plain 'q') were not handled at all.
Not terribly important now, but it prepares for the next commit.
Also rename a function to have a more meaningful name.
The previous behaviour loaded the saved renderer config whenever the
adapter combobox was changed. The renderer will now only change if the
new adapter doesn't support the currently selected renderer (i.e
Direct3D11 might not be supported, so it'll revert to Direct3D 9).
Fixes#1080.
The Wild Arms Offset text was slightly cut off due to the label being
too small. Make the dialog slightly wider so the full text will fit.
Someone should probably make the dialog look nicer at some point.
Avoid a crash on Onimusha3 (PAL 60HZ)
In theory it will be better to find the root cause of overflow. I.e. somewhere in this
code below. Dirty rectangle is too big.
***********************************************************************
if(rowsize > 0 && offset % rowsize == 0)
{
int y = GSLocalMemory::m_psm[psm].pgs.y * offset / rowsize;
if(r.bottom > y)
{
GL_CACHE("TC: Dirty After Target(%s) %d (0x%x)", to_string(type),
t->m_texture ? t->m_texture->GetID() : 0,
t->m_TEX0.TBP0);
// TODO: do not add this rect above too
t->m_dirty.push_back(GSDirtyRect(GSVector4i(r.left, r.top - y, r.right, r.bottom - y), psm));
t->m_TEX0.TBW = bw;
continue;
}
}
***********************************************************************
So as a temporary solution (that will likely stay for a couple of
years), buffers were increased.
Height of the dirty rectangle must be the GS size of the RT. Of course
RT doesn't have any height so we compute the max safest value.
Fix issue #987
Candidate for 1.4 release
Regression introduced in 81891ac1097f28fc97c0bd4226b0b72394c2ef69;
assigning "" to a wxString results in an ambiguity error when building
with wxWidgets 2.8 (this could well be a bug in wxWidgets). The default
wxString constructor creates an empty string anyway, so these assignments
are unnecessary.
15ms latency is too little most of the time, but if the stars align (light game,
fast system, the correct audio output module - portaudio comes to mind), it
might work well/reasonably, so allow it.
Watch the console for stretcher related messages. If you hear bad audio (clicks
etc) or notice reset/underruns messages, it means the latency is too low. The
optimal behavior (stretching is locked to 1:1) is when a message "stretch: None (1:1)"
shows at the console, which isn't followed by a message "stretch: Dynamic" or
resets or spu2 underruns.
I'm pretty sure such low latency with good performance (mostly locked to 1:1)
was not possible in the past, but it seems possible (sometimes) now. Maybe the
previous "black magic" commit helps
The default is still 100ms which is still fine for most cases.
This commit affects Windows. Linux still has a different minimum, probably
mostly due to UI/constants. Maybe someone should test and change that too.
I don't have a fully scientific explanation here, but it seems that with big
buffers (~200ms and up), the stretcher adjustment can overshoot the target
equilibrium back and forth, in effect never stabilizing.
This commit makes it change slightly slower which somehow seems to improve its
behavior. Sorry for not having a better explanation, as at this stage tuning the
stretcher has become somewhat of a black magic.
But hey, if it works...
Tested with buffers from 30ms to 1000ms, and with playback speed and speed
changes between 30% and 500%, and as far as I can tell it only makes it better.
Fingers crossed.
