* Don't claim to support any features we don't, like relocation
* Actually zero-out BSS sections, as memory might not be already
zeroed.
* Deleted commented out code.
* Removed GetPointer, updated to more modern interface methods.
* Updated pointer types style from "u32 *x" to "u32* x"
* The file already exsists, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten
this far in the boot.
* We have already checked if it's a Wii or GameCube elf,
besides, it's too late to change our minds now anyway.
* On Wii - Don't call EmulatedBS2, it can never succeed as
it knows nothing about booting elfs. Just call the
SetupWiiMemory directly if needed.
* On GameCube - We still call EmulatedBS2_GC, but we stop
it from running Apploader, which might boot something
unexpected from the default iso or DVD root folder.
- Calculate ZSlope every flush but only set PixelShader Constant on Reset Buffer when zfreeze
- Fixed another Pixel Shader bug in D3D that was giving me grief
Results are still not correct, but things are getting closer.
* Don't cull CULLALL primitives so early so they can be used as reference
planes.
* Convert CalculateZSlope to screenspace coordinates.
* Convert Pixelshader to screenspace coordinates (instead of worldspace
xy coordinates, which is totally wrong)
* Divide depth by 2^24 instead of clamping to 0.0-1.0 as was done
before.
Progress:
* Rouge Squadron 2/3 appear correct in game (videos in rs2 save file
selection are missing)
* Shadows draw 100% correctly in NHL 2003.
* Mario golf menu renders correctly.
* NFS: HP2, shadows sometimes render on top of car or below the road.
* Mario Tennis, courts and shadows render correctly, but at wrong depth
* Blood Omen 2, doesn't work.
Based on the feedback from pull request #1767 I have put in most of
degasus's suggestions in here now.
I think we have a real winner here as moving the code to
VertexManagerBase for a function has allowed OGL to utilize zfreeze now
:)
Correct use of the vertex pointer has also corrected most of the issue
found in pull request #1767 that JMC47 stated. Which also for me now
has Mario Tennis working with no polygon spikes on the characters
anymore! Shadows are still an issue and probably in the other games
with shadow problems. Rebel Strike also seems better but random skybox
glitches can show up.
Initial port of original zfreeze branch (3.5-1729) by neobrain into
most recent build of Dolphin.
Makes Rogue Squadron 2 very playable at full speed thanks to recent core
speedups made to Dolphin. Works on DirectX Video plugin only for now.
Enjoy! and Merry Xmas!!
