This fourth part of my series of patches to get rid of unsafe uses of
GetPointer takes care of the "easy" cases in VideoCommon. Three uses of
GetPointer now remain in Dolphin: VertexLoaderManager, TextureInfo, and
the software renderer's TextureSampler.
Instead, we make the event take a reference to the system and then pass
it in when the event is triggered.
This does introduce two other accessors, but these are much easier to
refactor out over time, and without modification to the existing event
interface.
This caused us to update the indirect texture information in shaders more often than we needed to, which probably doesn't matter in practice since it's only used in ubershaders and copyyscale and stride are generally only updated before EFB/XFB copies, which generally will have other changes afterwards.
As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the mipmap/half_scale functionality, but does change based on the width of the destination texture (and the destination texture is half the width if half_scale is set). The comment that was there (which dates back to the initial megacommit) seems to not have accounted for the width aspect; it was first used as an actual stride in bbbe898839 (the first commit that used it at all).
The whole ownership model was getting a bit of a mess, with a some
of special cases to deal with. And I'm planning to make it even more
complex in the future.
So here is some upfront work to convert it over to reference counted
pointers.
This also changes the behavior for the invalid gamma value, which was confirmed to behave the same as 2.2.
Note that currently, the gamma value is only used for XFB copies, even though hardware testing indicates it also works for EFB copies. This will be changed in a later commit.
This increases accuracy, fixing the white rendering in Major Minor's Majestic March. However, the hardware backends can only have one viewport and scissor rectangle at a time, while sometimes multiple are needed to accurately emulate what is happening. If possible, this will need to be fixed later.
Fixes Bomberman Jetters in single core mode.
When single core mode pauses the CPU to execute the GPU
FIFO it greedily executes the whole thing. Before this commit,
Finish and Token interrupts would happen instantly, not even
taking into account how long the current FIFO window has
taken to execute. The interrupts would be effectively backdated
to the start of this execution window.
This commit does two things: It pipes the current FIFO window
execution time though to the interrupt scheduling and it enforces
a minimum delay of 500 cycles before an interrupt will be fired.
Now works with games that deliberately avoid invalidating TMEM because
they know textures are too large to fit:
* Sonic Riders
* Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
* Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee
* NHL Slapshot
* Tak and the Power of Juju
* Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
* 428: Fūsa Sareta Shibuya de
Previous code from #7950 only clamps correctly when the efb copies
left and top coordinates are (0, 0)
Now we should handle all situations.
Spyro: A hero's tail is an example of a game that does an oversized
EFB copy with a non-zero origin.
