* PCSX2 now splits settings into two files: pcsx2-ui.ini and pcsx2-vm.ini. The former is user interface clutter (window positions, confirmation dialogs, etc). The latter is virtual machine settings, speed hacks, game fixes, etc.
* Added support for PORTABLE INSTALLS!! Portable install is currently manually enabled by adding an empty "pcsx2-portable.ini" to the install location of PCSX2. Portable installs should run seamlessly from any flash drive, etc. (and will usually need Admin rights)
* PCSX2 install location and plugins folders are stored in the registry now (unless portable install is enabled, in which case no registry is used).
Notes:
* A button to enable portable installs from within PCSX2 is planned.
* NSIS installer will hopefully be upgraded to allow for a portable install option as well.

* Moved VIF dynamic recompiler buffers to the recompilers section of PCSX2.
* Using RecompiledCodeReserve for the VIF SSE functions.
* Minor bugfixes to VirtualMemory class implementations.
* Improved error handling and error message display.
* [TODO] : implement a call to cpuShutdown() to clean up VIF unpack/SSE reserves.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4169 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* A couple i18n fixes listed in Issue 915, relating to dialog message formatting for a couple specific messages.
DevNote:
* Added some missing operator+() stuff for the pxsFmt string formatter.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4160 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Simplified and improved (slightly) the savestate memory cleanup on error/cancellation.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4158 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Finished up zipfile-style savestate implementation
* Simplified BaseSaveState class, and removed lots of now-unneeded code.
* Prepared the i18n stuff for a pcsx2_Dev.pot file (WIP), and sorted more stuff to pcsx2_Tertiary.pot.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxSavestates@4091 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* "Browse" option in recent iso menu should translate now.
* Dialogs and config panels remember their positions more reliably (when using X or alt-F4 to close PCSX2, for example).
* Preliminary language selector dialog (available in debug builds only). Will finish it up later.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4088 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* fixed a bug that caused certain confirmation dialogs to not remember their choices, when user had non-english language.
* Added wxWidgets-provided strings for a few things, such as Next, Back, and OK / Apply / Cancel.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4076 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added logging of host operating system and physical ram to startup.
* Removed "PhysicalCores" stuff from both x86emitter and startup logs -- physical cores is losing its relevance with all the new AMD and Intel chip designs.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4048 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Basic savestate loading/saving working now (needs testing).
* No support for screenshots embedded into the savestate (yet).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxSavestates@4043 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* PCSX2 uses significantly less memory when starting.
* Overall memory use reduced (mildly for some games, significantly for most).
* EE and IOP main memory are now fixed at 0x20000000 and 0x24000000 -- useful when using external cheat apps.
* Properly implemented the 'Shutdown' menu option -- Shutdown now unloads the entire PS2 virtual machine and reduced PCSX2's memory footprint to bare minimums.
* Some more meaningful errors for when memory is a problem (out of memory, low virtual memory, etc).
* Bugfix for pxsFmt when formatting long/large strings (over 1k)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4029 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Applied the new RecompiledCodeReserve to the VIF recompilers (saves another 4-8mb of memory, depending on game).
* Fixed a bug in pxsFmt / FastFormatUnicode (string formatting).
* Final round of error handling cleanups.
(branch is basically ready for re-integration -- needs some testin for obvious/show stopping bugs, thanks!)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/newHostVM@4025 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added some bounds checking to debug builds for VTLB mappings.
* Fixed a VU mapping bug that caused boot crashing
* Fixed some startup, shutdown, and reset resource management.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/newHostVM@4021 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Preliminary implementation for the SpatialArrayReserve class, which will be used for recompiler lookup tables (large portions of these tables are never used by many games). Will put it to use and test it soon.
* Finished implementation of TryResize method for reservations, which will be used by PCSX2 if the operating system runs low on ram.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/newHostVM@3992 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Moved profiler management to the RecompiledCodeReserve class.
* Improved error handling some more.
* Numerous minor cleanups.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/newHostVM@3991 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* SuperVU note: SuperVU recompiler now uses two separate 8mb caches for VU0 and VU1 (needed in order to simplify/saneify the reserve/alloc stages of pcsx2 app startup).
* Added MemsetFast.inl, which houses SSE intrinsic versions of memset and memzero, for use on aligned data targets.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/newHostVM@3975 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Security fix for Windows: Forced plugin filenames to be absolute paths, which resolves issues with windows' default path search order for DLLs, and hopefully avoids some errors for users who have installed Microsoft's Improved DLL Security patch.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3974 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Convert IsoFileFormats.cpp into a class.
* Use wxFile and wxFileInputStream instead of windows/posix specific file functions.
* Added new ScopedAlloc classes, which are very simple dependency-free templates for exception-safe allocations.
* FastFormatString: Improved performance ad fixed an obscure bug.
* Drag&Drop (UI) - Improved the friendliness and responsiveness, so that PCSX2 doesn't end up tying up an explorer window while it prompts the user or issues error messages.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxIsoFile@3934 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added ToString methods to the u128 type.
* Bugfixes for the FastFormat string utilities, namely when writing UTF8 content via the UTF16 formatter.
* MSVC: Removed obsolete disabling of unsigned/signed mismatch warning (4018)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3703 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Cleaned up trace logging and switched from C++ initializers to C-style const arrays. Kinda mixed on which I like better, but decided to go with the general rule of thumb that a bit less C++ weirdness is probably a good thing.
* Removed __assume() feature from pxFail and pxFailDev, due to the likeliness of unwanted/unexpected compiler behavior (MSVC only). To hint the compiler that code should be unreachable, explicitly use pxAssume(false).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3643 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added __fi and __ri, which are abbreviations for __forceinline and __releaseinline.
* Added some static qualifiers to functions in mVU, MMI ops, and others where appropriate.
* Removed some unnecessary __fastcall qualifiers (since GCC gets funny sometimes when you combine __fastcall and inlining).
* Made _1mb, _16mb, _1gb values common to all emulation code (moved from newVif/mvu to Common.h) -- they're useful! :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3624 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
DevNotes: DevCon logs are now available in *Release* builds as well as Devel builds, and can be enabled from the Console window's "Sources" menu. They are disabled by default in Release builds, and are always enabled regardless of the ini setting in devel builds. Debug logs are still strictly available in debug builds only.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3609 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
(pxsFmt has been applied to console/logging only for now. Will apply it to more later, once the code is confirmed stable)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3596 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Linux Devs: Let's get this memcpy thing finalized, if its not already. I'd like to merge the current state of this branch into trunk as soon as possible, since its currently looking very stable and has been, up to this point, a code cleanup and stabilization project. (more invasive changes coming soon)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/ReorderingMTGS@3518 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Disabled the SSE store version of memzero (no performance benefits and it was messy anyway)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3473 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Seems slower than memcpy_amd_ so didn't enable it.
I tried two different versions, one generates 0x400 different functions, and the other generates 1 function and jumps to the correct entry point.
The later seems faster, but still slower than memcpy_amd_...
(only tested the title-screen of GoW though...)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3465 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Implemented GIFPath_CopyTag, which performs a "copy-in-place" while parsing tags (big speedup over the old parse-then-copy strategy, especially with the SSE intrinsics I've included for kicks).
* Removed the old ringbuffer 'restart' mechanism and replaced it with a truly free-flowing wrapping mechanism. Utilizes the ringbuffer more efficiently, and removes quite a bit of overhead from the MTGS's PrepDataPacket call.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/ReorderingMTGS@3458 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Add missing copyright according issue 792
* Miss few files from the previous commit ^^
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3429 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Remove some dangerous uses of pxAssume -- pxAssume should only be used for simple in-place operations, and should never call functions (my fault too, I was the one who was using it wrong).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3410 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Remove one more dependency on the old vssprintf code; hoping to remove it soon. Only thing left now is the r5900 disasm code (which is a monster).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3388 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fix for Issue 780 (missing uppercase iso extensions in the Open File Dialog).
* A few minor threading fixes for the GameDB loader to avoid crashes/hangs when closing the emulator immediately as it opens.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3350 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
I also re-implemented R5900 runtime exception handling for TLB Miss and such (devbuilds only, for now).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3335 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Linux note: There's a chance as usual that this might break something in Linux because Linux and Windows STL headers have different dependencies. Namely <algorithm> might still be needed in on some of the PrecompiledHeaders. If so, just re-add it and commit, and make a note: // yes GCC really needs this one :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3295 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fix for random crashes when recording movies (F12). It still doesn't seem 100% stable, but it's a heckuva lot better than before.
* Log options dialog behavior bugfixes.
* Cleaned out some old hacks for handling hotkeys from the GS window, and implemented proper use of GSwindow-local hotkey mappings vs. global hotket mappings.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3292 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Much header file cleanup and used forward declarations to remove a lot of excess includes; might help improve build times a wee bit.
* Preliminary hash-table implementation for the Game database.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3264 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fullscreen mode should be remembered/applied properly now.
* implemented --fullscreen and --windowed options
* Made the --help popup a lot prettier
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3249 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* renamed PersistentThread to pxThread (shorter, sweeter, and the 'persistent' part is obsolete since its now a full blown thread manager since some while ago).
* Renamed a bunch of the PostMethodToMain stuff to Rpc_TryInvoke* (for remote procedure call). It's probably not a good use of the term, but I'm bummed I can't think of anything better/shorter.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3238 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added 3-state checkbox support to pxCheckBox.
* Fixed some buggy behavior when closing PCSX2 with either main window or console window minimized (window positions would get screwy)
DevNotes:
* Moved ImplementEnumOperators macro to Common headers and improved it a bit.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3220 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Improved console window behavior during startup and shutdown (also fixes minor threading issues)
* Added better failsafes for avoiding "rouge" pcsx2 processes left behind when wxWidgets would fail to "notice" window closures properly.
* Database loader is now thread-safe and cleans itself up properly on exit.
* Added some handy enumeration tools for the gamefixes (prep work for making them commandline controllable).
* ... and more prelim commandline work! (actual functional implementations coming very soon)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3212 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Various configuration dialogs remember their positions now. :)
* AboutBox is fixed, and is now resizable.
* Fix for Issue 739 : usermode.ini hashes are now case-insensitive on Win32.
* Likely Fix for Issue 740 : missing text on Linux/GTK. (need confirmation)
DevNotes:
* Moved IniInterface.cpp/h to the Utilities lib. Linux makefiles will need to be updated. >_<
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3178 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Todo note: The plan is to make the Gamefixes dialog match the new way the speedhacks dialog is laid out, with the disable checkbox at the top (in case someone wants to try their hand at it!).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3171 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
The panel is currently under "Emulation Settings", feel free to move it where-ever is appropriate.
If you have a game loaded the editor will automatically load the game's info, if not you can search for the game by typing the serial manually.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3152 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* SafeFree() macro changed: Remove null check on calls to free(); should be 100% safe as according to wx gurus.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3102 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Memorycard settings are now applied on-the-fly (can add/remove/disable memory cards in the BIOS browser and it'll act just as if you plugged or unplugged cards on a real PS2)
* Bugfixed memorycard creation dialog; which wasn't creating the memorycards in the right place (oops).
* Removed the CWD option from the first time wizard (was redundant since adding the custom location option).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3081 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Console Log doesn't force itself into the focus anymore when it opens
* Suspend/Resume menu item updates more reliably.
* Changing plugin settings while suspended works nicer; less likely to crash/hang/etc (ironically, changing plugin settings while running was more reliable).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2976 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
