The signature DB is very helpful for generating a symbol map for games
which don't ship with debugging symbols, since it includes signatures
for common SDK functions.
However, it isn't very complete and only contained signatures for GC
games -- the current database isn't very helpful for Wii games, which
still have a huge number of unknown functions even after using this DB.
Yet Wii games typically share a lot of code (since they all use the
SDK), and not having symbols makes it a lot harder to look into what
a game is doing… So this commit adds common Wii SDK function signatures
to the database, in order to make generated symbol maps a lot more
useful for Wii games.
The debug info comes from the debugging map that was left in the Wii
version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. To avoid cluttering
the DB with game-specific debug info (even though it already contains
some game-specific symbols), some basic filtering was done on the
shipped symbol map:
egrep '(section layout|\.a|m_Do|lib|Lib| OS)' tp-framework.map | grep -v Z2 > common-wii-sdk.map
Then this map was loaded in Twilight Princess, and "append to existing
signature file" was used to append the new hashes to totaldb.dsy.
Set EFBtoTextures=False, fixes issue #9942, makes Link preview visible in Equipment screen, with EFB to Textures Only enabled the preview stays black, rather than showing Link's current equipment.
Based on ca0c2efe7a. Credits go to flacs.
However, unlike the original commit, hidapi does not completely replace
the current implementations, so we can still connect Wiimotes with 1+2
(without pairing).
Also, it is only used on Linux and OS X for now. This removes the
advantage of having only one implementation but there is no other
choice: using hidapi on Windows is currently impossible because
hid_write() is implemented in a way that won't work with Wiimotes.
Additionally:
* We now check for the device name in addition to the PID/VID so we can
support the Balance Board and maybe third-party Wiimotes too. This
doesn't achieve anything with the DolphinBar but it does with hidraw.
* Added a check to not connect to the same device more than once.
All the inline comments from the netplay code were removed because they
apparently took up space in game memory (They were maxing out gecko
codes).
"Increase input timing accuracy" was made into its own code entry.
"Netplay Safe Kill Music" code has been updated to prevent desyncs.
BMX XXX can detect forced Progressive Scan in Dolphin but the game will not be playable, the emulator will freeze.
On an original GameCube, GC-Forever reported that "Game does not support component video output.".
By default, it's better to disable the forced Progressive Scan feature on this game to make it playable and also not stuck in a broken startup.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Master Quest) needs EFB to RAM
for the pause menu background to not be black and for Link to show up
in the pause menu. These are the two most visible issues without EFB
to RAM enabled.
This is consistent with the GameINI for the Collector's Edition
version (PZL).
Just because it was the same game, released in diffrent regions
at around the same time doesn't mean they use the same version
of the Virtual Console emulator.
The previous INIs were based of testing of the US release so I've
move them to 6 letter INIs only effecting the US release. I've
also added a few more and added a few Inis for the few PAL games
that I could confirm also didn't require EFB2Ram.
Updates for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Surf's Up, Drawn to Life The Next
Chapter, Boogie, Boogie SuperStar, Quantum of Solace, Tiger Woods PGA
Tour 08, Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Fixes issues 9123, 9191, 9204, 9205, 9206, 9050, 9183.
Using the XPM format for images has become a maintenance problem because
people don't know how to create them. This commit removes all XPM images
and all C files that contain PNG images. DolphinWX now uses the PNGs
in the Resources folder instead, just like DolphinQt and DolphinQt2 do.
fileplatform is moved so it's in the same place as the other platform
icons, and nobanner is moved just because it fits better in Resources.
Both of them were identical in all of Dolphin's themes.
091db36 added a new delay for disc commands in an attempt to fix issues.
It fixed Sonic Riders crashing after the third level... or so we thought.
091db36 also happened changed the order disc reads happen in so that the
data is copied to memory before the emulated delay is finished. This was
inaccurate and caused an audio problem in Resident Evil 3, leading to the
old order being restored in 8cc6e5c. Now that the order is correct,
Sonic Riders is broken again, despite 091db36's delay still existing.
We're more or less back to square one - nobody knows what's broken, and
nobody knows how to fix it. This commit restores SUDTR to Sonic Rider's
game INI so that it'll work out of the box in 5.0 just like in 4.0.
This is mainly a virtual console update. Removes progressive scan option
from snes, genesis, etc. games since it is no longer needed for proper
speed. Adds gameinis for Neo geo, Arcade and missing gameinis for
genesis.
Main Stick is changed to Control Stick and C-Stick is changed to C Stick.
A new ui_name variable is added to ControlGroup so that the UI strings
in DolphinWX can be updated without breaking backwards compatibility
with config INIs and other things that use names as IDs.
Lost Levels NES VC game was missing an INI file and prevented it from
displaying anything but a black screen. This seems to get the graphics
working.
Played though 1-2 without issue.
While going through and testing various NES VC games, I noticed Mega Man
5 was just displaying a black screen but the sound and button inputs
were working as expected. Turns out, there is no INI file for that game
id. Copying and renaming Mega Man 4's INI file appears to be enough to
get the game going.
Stereoscopy values have been tested and a convergence value of 26 is ideal for placing the characters on the convergence plane. No perceived issues with disabling monoscopic shadows.
Completely rewritten Global Melee Netplay Settings. The individual codes can be found here (http://pastebin.com/38CFazXq). The previous Global Melee Netplay Settings have some issues such as not being able to change the random stage select, various crashes in 1P mode, friendly fire being off by default, and a general lack of new features due to its age. Needs to be tested for stability.
Fixes issues 8713 and 8674. Also disables scaled efb copies by default
for New Super Mario Bros to take advantage of the recent efb to texture
spinning coin fix.
Fixes issue 8637 by replacing SkipIdle=0 with SyncOnSkipIdle = False.
Updates gameinis for Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero, Pokemon
Snap and fixes a mistake in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.
Gameinis are added/updated for:
Shrek SuperSlam, Disney's Donald Duck Goin' Quackers, The Fairly
OddParents: Shadow Showdown, Hot Wheels World Race, MySims Agents, Punch
Out, Alien Syndrome, My Word Coach, Secret Files Tunguska and Secret
Files 2 Puritas Cordis.
Having settings for each game in more than one file is redundant.
Now, region-free INIs are now only for settings, and region-specific
INIs are only for AR codes and patches. Exceptions are made for
titles that share the first three characters of their IDs with
unrelated titles (mostly unlicensed titles and Triforce titles).
Removes STC from Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike: Limited
Edition Bonus Disc (Demo). Removes efb to ram setting from Tiger Woods
PGA TOUR 2005, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06, Mission: Impossible Operation
Surma and Terminator 3: The Redemption since it is no longer needed.
Sets Army Men Air Combat and Pac-Man World 3 to LLE audio due to audio
issues with HLE (slow audio). Corrects some mistakes in F zero (virtual
console) and The Magic Obelisk ini files. Finally it removes comments
that are simply stating the obvious and references to revs that games
were tested with.
