This could cause the first branch of the bootucode procedure, which
takes its parameters from the AX registers, to run during the ROM init
sequence. Since the ROM doesn't set any of the AX registers, the values
aren't meaningful, and can cause bad DMA transfers and crashes.
Wii.Widescreen is a setting that cannot be changed on the fly after
emulation has started, so anything booted after the initial title
will have an unexpected aspect ratio.
We can just set Video_Settings.AspectRatio instead, which *can* be live
changed, since it doesn't involve messing with the SYSCONF at any time.
This is also much closer to the behaviour of the Wii U, which
configures the DMCU to force 4:3 transparently, instead of doing it the
intrusive way (touching the SYSCONF).
Based off codehandleronly.bin. Improves support for codes with conditionals due to adding cache invalidation on stores. You also have support for mode code lines at once before Dolphin freezes at startup.
- coef: Explicitly set 23 different values that are used by GBA UCode,
and tweaked overall parameters to more closely match those 23 values.
- irom: Moved a few functions to their proper places, updated BootUCode
to configure DMA transfers using AX registers as well as IX registers
(the GBA UCode uses this to do two sequential transfers in one call),
and added partial functions used by GBA UCode.
All functions were reverse-engineered solely based off of observed
effects on the virtual machine: register states before-and-after, dmem
interactions, and DMA transfers. The specific coefficients were observed
being read from dmem, and must be exactly those values to function
properly. I have no knowledge of how the official ROM implements these
functions, or how it is implemented overall.
Tested with The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, Final Fantasy
Crystal Chronicles, and Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (to download
ChuChu Rocket!).
This adds new themed rating stars to all of the theme folders, with the
intent to eventually replace the awful old ratings stars in
sys/resources. I’m not a coder so it will be up to someone else to use
these files to replace the ratings stars in WX and Qt. Their dimensions
are the same as the old ones, so it should be pretty easy to implement,
though it will require moving over to theme-able files and supporting
HiDPI for them.
@4x files are present for future proofing / possible android usage.
All files have been optimized with opti-png.
This allows us to print user friendly names for titles out of the box,
without requiring the user to manually download a title database and
place it in the correct location.
No auto-update mechanism is implemented as it would be substantially
more complicated and overkill (imo), since titles are not updated
that often. I have however added a script to make updating them easier.
The database can be freely used without any restriction. I have
contacted the author.
Dolphin is able to generate one with all correct default settings, so
we don't need to ship with a pre-generated SYSCONF and worry about
syncing default settings.
Additionally, this commit changes SysConf to work with session SYSCONFs
so that Dolphin is able to generate a default one even for Movie/TAS.
Which SYSCONF needs to be touched is explicitly specified to avoid
confusion about which file SysConf is managing.
(Another notable change is that the Wii root functions are moved into
Core to prevent Common from depending on Core.)
Windows-1252 was sometimes being referred to as ASCII or ANSI
in Dolphin, which is incorrect. ASCII is only a subset of
Windows-1252, and ANSI is (rather improperly) used in Windows
to refer to the current code page (which often is 1252 on
Western systems, but can also be something entirely different).
The commit also replaces "SJIS" with "Shift JIS". "SJIS"
isn't misleading, but "Shift JIS" is more commonly used.

Set EFBtoTextures=False, fixes issue #9942 from Ocarina of Time, makes Link preview visible in Equipment screen, with EFB to Textures Only enabled the preview stays black, rather than showing Link's current equipment.
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.
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.
I had moved Hyrule Field Speed Hack to RZDE01r0.ini and
Hyrule Field Speed Hack v2 to RZDE01r2.ini...
But according to issue 8318, v2 is actually made for r0.
This will make some game INIs cover more regions.
For INIs with AR codes or patches, I manually created a region-free
file without region-specific data while keeping the original.
It removes settings that were removed from dolphin to clean up the
database. Modifies some gameinis to use the new 3 letter gameid. Adds
Hyrule field speedup hack for Japanese and American version of Twilight
Princess for wii. Removes efb to ram from Twilight Princess, Tony Hawk's
Pro Skater 3, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Prince of Persia Forgotten
Sands, Mario Superstar Baseball, Okami, FFCC the Crystal Bearers and The
Simpsons due to the recent dolphin changes. Enables efb to ram for The
Magic Obelisk because it needs it and some more minor changes.
Add Hyrule Field Speed Hack v2 by TheWearyGamer for the wii us version
of Zelda Twilight Princess. Enable mmu and disable anti-aliasing in
Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse fixing issues 8108 and 8109.
Removes speedhacks from metroid prime 1 and 2, and fire emblem series
and update old notes for metroid prime. Capitalize dolphin in the few
inis that weren't from the previous commit.
