- Implements render target data load (aka Read Color Buffer/Read Depth Buffer)
- Refactors vulkan surface barrier to be much cleaner.
- Removes redundant surface barrier invocations after doing a merged load
from surface cache.
- Adds explicit access modes when gathering surfaces from cache.
- Further improve aliased data preservation by unconditionally scanning.
Its is possible for cache aliasing to occur when doing memory split.
- Also sets up for RCB/RDB implementation
- Merge viewport raster window and scissor into one clipping region
- Viewport raster clip is different from viewport geometry clipping in
hardware as the latter is configurable separately
- When multithreaded RSX is enabled, the vertex cache just lowers performance
- The small cost of upload is paid by the asynchronous thread, allowing RSX to work optimally
- Removes a lot of wm_event code that was used to perform window management and is no longer needed.
- Significantly simplifies the vulkan code.
- Implements resource management when vulkan window is minimized to allow resources to be freed.
- 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- Allows splitting RTV/DSV resources if they are superceded by a partial surface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
