- Allows render targets to behave like stacked 3D views same as shader inputs are resolved
- Basically implements most of 'Read Color/Depth Buffers" option for 'free'.
- Allows splitting RTV/DSV resources if they are superceded by a partial surface
- Also allows intersecting new resources through the surface cache for proper inheritance from other scattered data
- TODO: Refactor bind_surface_as_rtt and bind_surface_as_ds to reduce asinine code duplication
- Also refactors some bpp handling code
- Simplify texture intersection test to use a normalized/uniform coordinate space
- Fix broken bounds checking as well
- Apply dither to edges that almost fail the straight-up alpha test
- Significantly improves alpha tested geometry far from the camera
- Also removes blend factor overrides/hacks as they give incorrect results due to background bleeding
- Index offset is ignored anyway and only used to calculate vertex attribute divisor index
- Specialized optimization for untouched xfer without primitive restart
- Avoid tagging and rely on read/write barriers and the dirty flag mechanism. Testing is done with a weak 8-byte memory test
- Introducing new data when tagging breaks applications with race conditions where tags can overwrite flushed data
- D24S8 targets have 2 aspects that are dealt with separately; Forcefully initialize the remaining data if a partial init is done. Its 'free' anyway
- It seems that the stencil mask matters when clearing unlike the depth mask and color mask
- gl: Include an execution state wrapper to ensure state changes are consistent. Also removes a lot of required 'cleanup' for helper methods
- texture_cache: Make execition context a mandatory field as it is required for all operations. Also removes a lot of situations where duplicate argument is added in for both fixed and vararg fields
- Explicit read/write barrier for framebuffer resources depending on
usage. Allows for operations like optional memory initialization before
reading
- Implicitly invoke a memory barrier if actively reading from an unsynchronized texture
- Simplify memory transfer operations
- Should allow more games to work without strict mode
- Implements a mirror view of D24S8 data that accesses the stencil components.
Finishes the implementation of TEX2D_DEPTH_RGBA as the stencil component was previously missing from the reconstructed data
- Add a few missing destructors
Image classes are inherited a lot and I forgot to make the dtors virtual
- Ignore barriers inserted after BEGIN but before any draw commands are emitted
- Properly process tail barriers inserted before END but after draw commands are submitted
- Ignore execution barriers with no effect (same register value written)
- Tries to detect when FIFO preprocessing is beneficial and only enables optimizations if the benefit outweighs the cost
- Current threshold is at least 500 draw calls saved at over 2000 draw calls to justify the overhead
- TODO: More tuning for other CPUs
- Improve vertex attribute layout format. Allows for full 16-bit attribute divisor
- Use actual pitch when declaring framebuffer rsx pitch instead of register value in case of swizzle? rendering
- Replace a few more vectors with simple_array<T>
- Avoid unnecessary string comparisons in backends. We already know referenced textures from the program analysers!
- Also fix visual corruption when using disjoint indexed draws
- Refactor draw call emit again (vk)
- Improve execution barrier resolve
- Allow vertex/index rebase inside begin/end pair
- Add ALPHA_TEST to list of excluded methods [TODO: defer raster state]
- gl bringup
- Simplify
- using the simple_array gets back a few more fps :)
- Matching attachments with resource id fails because drivers are reusing
handles!
- Properly sets up stale fbo ref counting and removal
- Properly sets up resource reference test with subsequent removal to
avoid using a broken fbo entry
- Orders flushing to preserve memory at all cost
- Avoids false positive where flushing overlapping sections can falsely invalidate another with head/tail test
- Do not do a full sync on a texture read barrier
- Avoid calling zcull sync in FIFO spin wait
- Do not flush memory to cache from the renderer side; this method is now obsolete
- Defer compilation process to worker threads
- vulkan: Fixup for graphics_pipeline_state.
Never use struct assignment operator on vk** structs due to padding after sType member (4 bytes)
- Adds proper support for vertex textures, including dimensions other than 2D textures
- Minor analyser fixup, removes spurious 'analyser failed' errors
- Minor optimizations for program state tracking
- Adds dead code elimination
- Fix absolute branch target addresses to take base address into account
- Patch branch targets relative to base address to improve hash matching
- Bumps shader cache version
- Enables shader logging option to write out vertex program binary,
helpful when debugging problems.
- Avoid re-locking memory if there is no reason to do so (no draws issued)
- Actively bound regions should always get written to the backing cache
- Forcefully read memory during download if writes to the target have occured since last sync event
- Removes the old depth scaling using an overlay.
It was never going to work properly due to per-pixel stencil writes being unavailable
- TODO: Preserve stencil buffer during ARGB8->D32S8 shader conversion pass
- Some applications (e.g Backbreaker) use an evil hack to resolve MSAA.
The application respecifies a formerly AA region as a region with no AA then performs a framebuffer feedback lookup.
The old memory keeps AA during read, but writes back to itself with AA resolved.
This is evil on several levels but it just happens to work on PS3
- The benefits of FIFO optimizations are huge in some cases.
The optimizations also do not break any tested applications so no need to disable with strict mode
- A debug option is provided to disable this behaviour for testing
- Improves cleanup code to consist of 2 parts, remove then dispose. Remove
does not deallocate the item until dispose is called on it, allowing the
backends to first deallocate external references.
- Caller is responsible for managing list locking and tracking disposable list
of items when external references have been cleaned up before using
dispose method.
- Reimplements the AMD workaround using an identity buffer to avoid the performance hit of doing multiple glDrawArrays for every single compiled set
- Reimplements first/count allocation using a scratch buffer to reduce allocation overhead when large number of draw calls is used
- Improve dirty state tracking affecting program state
- vk: Refactor out transform constants upload into a separate channel to avoid if possible
transform data uploads are quite expensive
- Introduces a gpu program analyser step to examine shader contents before attempting compilation or cache search
- Avoids detecting shader as being different because of unused textures having state changes
- Adds better program size detection for vertex programs
- Improved vertex program decompiler
- Properly support CAL type instructions
- Support jumping over instructions marked with a termination marker with BRA/CAL class opcodes
- Fix SRC checks and abort
- Fix CC register initialization
- NOTE: Even unused SRC registers have to be valid (usually referencing in.POS)
- Readback does not work at all with float textures on AMD openGL
Driver throws a bogus OUT_OF_MEMORY error regardless of amount of VRAM and system RAM available
- vk: Clear dirty textures before copying 'old contents' in case the old data does not fill the new region
- rsx: Properly decode border color - seems to be in BGRA format
- vk: better approximation of border color to better choose between the presets
- vk: Individually clear color images outside render pass and without scissor
- vk: Fix renderpass selection for clear overlay pass
- vk: Include scissor region when emulating clear mask
NOTES:
- vk: Completely avoid using vkClearXXXXimage - its 'broken' on nvidia drivers
Spec is vague about the function so its not an actual bug
ClearAttachment is clearly defined as bypassing bound state which works correctly
- TODO: Implement memory sampling to simulate loading precleared memory if cell used memset to preinitialize the framebuffer
Autoclear depth to 1|255 and color to 0 is hacky!
Primary:
- Fix SET_SURFACE_CLEAR channel mask - it has been wrong for all these
years! Layout is RGBA not ARGB/BGRA like other registers
Other Fixes:
- vk: Implement subchannel clears using overla pass
- vk: Simplify and clean up state management
- gl: Fix nullptr deref in case of failed subresource copy
- vk/gl: Ignore float buffer clears as hardware seems to do
- Mainly affected are colormasks and read swizzles
NOTES:
- Writes to G write to the second and fourth component (YW)
- Writes to B write to first and third component (XZ)
- This means the actual format layout is BGBG (RGBA) making RG mapping actually GR
- Clear does not seem to have any intended effect on this format (TLOU)
Fixes the following issues on Tales of Vesperia which requires SRM.
- Blacked out scene after the sleeping dog now renders correctly
- Ghosting effect. The ghosting was most noticeable as a delay between the character rendering and the cell shading around the character. This appears to be gone with this change.
