Chamber of Secrets/Prisoner of Azkaban: Add gamefix patches to make the
games playable/bootable. Some regions that don't have the patches added
still need testing for verification.
Add some missing regions to the DB for the above two games.
Automatic mipmapping: Harry Potter (Chamber Of Secrets,
Prisoner of Azkaban, Order Of The Phoenix), The Incredible Hulk:
Ultimate Destruction.
Add some missing crc ids for GT4 demo discs.
This PR add an emotion engine rounding fix for Conflict 4 which solve bad character behaviour, 2 VU Xgkick timing adjustment for K-1 World GP 2006 which solve missing colors on the fighters, 1 VU Xgkick timing adjustment for Mahou Sensei Negima! Kagai Jugyou which solve bad rendering, comment adjustment for Socom 2 fixes and a missing entry.
Fixes some issues with opening ini/log files when the path contains
characters that are not present in the current codepage for the
following plugins:
SPU2-X
LilyPad
cdvdGigaherz
Dev9null
USBnull
FWnull
Adds a helper function for converting UTF-8 to UTF-16 on Windows. Also
adds a fopen wrapper function for pathnames that may contain characters
that are not present in the current Windows codepage.
Fixes empty log and ini directory paths being passed to the plugins on
Windows when the pathnames contain characters not present in the current
system codepage.
Fixes the inability to create snapshots when the pathname contains
non-ASCII characters on Linux (Windows requires more pathname handling
fixes).
Adjust Spartan crc hack: Combine/ease the hacks in to one.
Only remove the glow/yellow bloom effect and don't skip any other effects that shouldn't be skipped. UI and some other post processing effects work properly now.
Add crc id CrashBandicootWoC RU.
Add some missing RU crc ids: Onimusha3, ICO, TombRaiderUnderworld, SoulReaver2, LegacyOfKainDefiance.
Removed crc id 7ACF7E03 and mentions of that id and it's duplicates. The id is from a multiloader when packing images, and not an actual crc id from a game(s).
Add FinalFightStreetwise RU, SoulCalibur3 RU. Correcting the wrong id TenchuFS RU (the elf was modified widescreen cheat, sorry). Delite Kunoichi RU (the elf was modified widescreen cheat, the original coincides with the EU).
Remove the EE Timing hack from the Full Spectrum Warrior Series, my tests show that it doesn't do anything.
Disable the mVU Flag Speedhack for Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers. This fixes bad graphics in FSW.
Move a hack that removed burning/hot air effect. The effect is rendered properly but causes slowdowns so it's best to move it to aggressive for now.
Add comments explaining what the crc hacks do.
This PR add an Emotion Engine clamping fix for Drakengard 2 (tested by Shadow Lady), and Mvu flag fix for Full Spectrum Warrior (Tested by CK1) along with missing serials entries.
It also adds MemCardFilter for Galaxy Angel II - Mugen Kairou no Kagi to be able to recognize the progression acquired from the first disc.
Ease the crc hack and skip less effects, makes shadows and some other effects work properly.
The game experiences a bit more upscaling issues which can be resolved with Merge Sprite and Wild Arms offset HW hacks.
This PR brings some patches to fix various unplayable games (made by Prafull).
It also adds comments for Savage skies to warn users to use the interpreter + cache, a missing rounding fix for some versions of Shin Megami Tensei 3, and an Emotion Engine timing fix for NBA Shootout 2003 (tested by someother1ne).
In games like ICO where the render and blanks both need to be rounded,
one was prioritized over the other one leading to a truncated value in
the total vsync cycles. This patch fixes it, it's more or less for a
trivial cycle accuracy rather than a signfifcant change which might
influence games. (Not sure, maybe it would?)
Potentially it might be nice to revamp the whole vertical blank
calculation system to make it more readable (discussed about this with
ref), but it's not of much priority right now.
The C spec states that the va_arg argument value is indeterminate after
returning from vfprintf. va_end and va_start must be called before the
variable is reused.
