Adds Genesis virtual console games to the database. Fixes issues 7400
and partly 7396. Update for Mario Sunshine (gc), Despicable Me (wii),
Chicken Little: Ace In Action (wii), and a couple of Wiiware titles.
The clean theme was a little rushed. There was barely over a week between it's start date and the 4.0 release, and there was school and other crazy going on at the time. Having lived with the clean theme for a while, the weaknesses of the theme was really beginning to irritate me. So I've taken my time and worked on them over the past few months, and used them day to day to get the feel of them. The result is much better overall - everything has been tweaked from the ground up!
While there is a "full" changelog below, the primary change is a transitions from a gradient + dropshadow (and sometimes etch, don't think about it too hard) to a gradient + etch style. It's the same icons and the same style just, dare I say, cleaner? It's also much more variation friendly, allowing consistant results across all the colors and sizes. It pays off big time; everything that isn't default is drastically improved. For those that just use default, it's still better, thanks to the higher quality.
In my view, this is the completed clean theme.
Changlog:
*No dropshadow - gives the theme a even cleaner look and greatly improves the colored and @2x versions
*Improved etch effect with subtle variations as needed to each icon for best results
*New GameCube Icon - accurate to hardware, matches the accurate wiimote-nunchuk
*Tweaked gradients for a slightly flatter look
*Redone Lite theme. Still weird on light chrome, but awesome on dark chrome. Has a sort of white iPod look.
*@2x icons take better advantage of the higher resolution while still matching
*Improved the open icon's "disc", with precise angles on the reflection and mouseover awesome
*Removed slight curve from the Play icon
*Graphics icon now has a "power light" that no one will ever notice if they don't read this.
*And an obscene amount of tweaks way too small to include here
Update that adds NES and SNES (U) Virtual Console games to the database.
Fixes issue 7349 (More Aggressive Twilight Princess Hack), issue 7337
(Def Jam Vendetta No Cutscenes?) and issue 7258 (Madden NFL 2003
requires RealXFB for videos).
Workaround for issue 7322 (Slow audio ingame in various gamecube games
when using HLE, LLE audio works fine.) by enforcing LLE audio for the
affected games for the time being.
This PR depends upon pr #466 "Allow progressive scan to be set by game
ini".
Updates game inis for Serious Sam: Next Encounter (gc), CAPCOM VS. SNK 2
EO (gc), Baten Kaitos Origins (gc), Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the
Lost Ocean (gc), Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (gc), Sonic Riders (gc), Sonic
Adventure DX (gc), Mini Ninjas (wii), The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
(wii).
Fixes issues 7146 and 6440.
The Sims 2 Pets (gc), NHL 2005 (gc), NHL06 (gc), Blood Omen 2 (gc),
R:Racing Evolution: Life in the Fast Lane (gc), World Of Zoo (wii),
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are affected.
Fixes issue 7067.
Metroid: Other M was the only game which required this field, but the
issue in that game can be fixed properly by enabling format change
emulation. Hence, there's no point in having this around anymore.
Fixes issue 6644.
Instead of being vertex-based, it is now primitive (point, line or dissected triangle) based, with proper clipping.
Also, screen position is now calculated based on viewport values, instead of "guesstimating".
This fixes many graphical glitches in Paper Mario: TTYD and Super Paper Mario.
Also, the new code allows Mickey's Magical Mirror and Disney's Hide & Sneak to work (mostly) bug-free. I changed their inis to use bbox.
These changes have a slight cost in performance when bbox is being used (rare), mostly due to the new clipping algorithm.
Please check for any regressions or crashes.
It was disabled because of issue 182, but as this game depeneds on FPRF, it was just 'fixed' because of the fallback to interpreter (which implements FPRF by default).
Also enables FPRF for this game via GameIni, so that the issue is still workaround.
If there are any regressions because of this commit, please try to enable FPRF in GameIni.
He claims they don't work on that revision either, but from a quick
Google they (most of them?) seem to be intended for it, so keep them in
case they're useful for anyone.
Add a simple Python script that does a basic normalization on
the game INI files and run it across all the files we have. This
normalizes the sections, their order and comments, and the whitespace
within them.
It also removes the sections Video_Hardware, Gecko, and Wii, which
should not be in the game INI files we ship by default.

At the end of July 2011, LM published a free DSP ROM that works with games
using the Zelda UCode. His ROM only has the code to handle UCode loading and a
few utility functions, the rest is missing. This includes the four large sound
mixing functions used by the AX UCode and the DROM containing coefficients used
for polyphase resampling in AX.
This is an improved, updated version of this ROM, which changes the following:
- We now have a free DROM that works for polyphase resampling by "emulating"
linear interpolation. The coefficients contained in the DROM are normally a
list of { c1, c2, c3, c4 } which are used to interpolate a sample value from
four previous samples:
out_sample = prev1 * c1 + prev2 * c2 + prev3 * c3 + prev4 * c4
The coefficients are chosen depending on the fractional part of the current
position (basically, our position between the previous and the next sample).
We can use this fact to generate (c1, c2, c3, c4) for each possible
fractional part so that:
out_sample = prev3 * curr_pos + prev4 * (1 - curr_pos)
Which is the formula for linear interpolation between prev3 and prev4. Linear
interpolation is not as good as polyphase resampling but it still works very
well and I couldn't really hear any difference between the two. If someone
wants to generate real polyphase filter coefficients, they are welcome to
submit a patch.
- The IROM now contains the 4 mixing functions used by the AX UCode: mix_add,
mix_add_two, mix_add_ramp, mix_add_ramp_two. They are large, inlined
functions (probably for performance reasons) in the official DSP IROM, our
version prefers to use a loop. This *should* be more performant with our DSP
JIT implementation, but I did not benchmark that.
Because the new DSP ROM is working just as well as the official ROM in 95% of
cases, it is now shipped by default with Dolphin and will be used with DSPLLE
if you don't have an official DSP ROM in User/GC. It will still display a panic
alert at every boot to notice you that you are using a non official DSP ROM
made by us, which is not perfect.
Games using the CARD, IPL or GBA UCodes are still broken. I don't know what
games this actually impacts, but this is a very small proportion compared to
what works.

Fixes two memory leaks, one is pretty bad for OSX. Yell at pauldachz if this doesn't work. Or... say thanks.
Added a BluetoothEnumerateInstalledServices call so that the wiimote remembers the pairing.
Make ARMJit core default CPU core on ARM architecture
Fix a StringUtil regression from the arm-noglsl merge
Small improvement to cmpli/cmpi in ARMJit.
Merge latest ArmEmitter changes from ppsspp while we're at it.
Ah. I blame vim on this typo entirely.
Add disabled code for authenticating wiimotes on Windows.
Add the missing FPR cache
Buildfix.
Yell at the user if they change window size while dumping frames, and some other avi dumping stuff.
Not sure if this is the right way to handle this, but it makes the save states perfectly stable. That's all that really matters, right?
Abort loading states from incompatible graphics backends.
ARM Support without GLSL
Improve VideoSoftware save states. They are fairly stable, but not perfect. OpcodeDecoder::DoState() needs to be fixed.
Begin implementing save states to video software. Kind of works, sometimes.
Make error message for loading save state with wrong dsp engine shorter.
Abort load state if it uses a different dsp engine, instead of crashing.
Update the gameini of F-zero. Efb to Ram is no longer the default choice.

Fixed SSBB from starting at the mini-games screen.
Build fix
Corrected a state bug where newly loaded dols did not have their patches applied.
Changed the HLE system to allow it to hook the beginning, the end or replace the entire function without changing the GC memory. Fixes Kirby's Return to Dreamland. Added a way to categorise the type of HLE function. Currently, there are debug, floating point, memory and generic functions. Added a HLE function for OSGetResetCode (Warm reset). Fixes the CSI games. Added a switch to disable all of the HLE functions if the idle skipping option is disabled.
Added some IOS version checks and code to clear memory before loading the dol.
Added support for Reset (from menu). Fixes Sam & Max.
Added an IOS check as games which use IOS older than IOS30 do not need to be HLE'd. Added some stubs for Reset to Menu and SSBB's load from disc partition. Fixed loading Fate of Atlantis from the Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings game.
Added argument detection and passing to the loaded dol. This fixes the Wii Sports+Wii Sports Resort bundle pack.
Added preliminary support for ES_LAUNCH (Wii Multi-boot games) by using HLE to hijack the OSBootDol function.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is working. Wii Sports+Wii Sports Resort is not working. Any games which can be played using the dol replacement trick should work here.
Suspect that the DOL's are meant to receive an argument list which has not been catered for in this code. This probably also means that the Metroid Prime Trilogy games are locked in Veteran difficulty for the time-being.
MURAMASA: THE DEMON BLADE.
Fixes flickering with keyboard input in Monster Hunter Tri, a black square appearing in WarioWare: Smooth Moves
during minigames, fixes a mini-game in Mario Party 9 not functioning properly and missing text
in Pandora's Tower with default settings.
Also a language update..
Also re - implement the emulation issues column that was reverted, make it a bit bigger since sentences need more words and delete the issues portion of the emustate tooltip since it is unnecessary now.
The "Notes" column is gone and in it's place an "Emulation Notes" column is placed (it contains the emulationissues lines from the game inis). Notes that contain useful info about the game can be seen with just a glance this way.
Fixes issue 5043.
Should fix most graphical issues with Paper Mario: TTYD and Super Paper Mario. Fixes issue 360.
Since only those two games seem to require BBox support, and as per ector's suggestion, BBox is only enabled for those two games.
BBoxes and Display List Caches don't get along too well, causing Paper Mario: TTYD to hang during certain effects where BBoxes are used. For now, I disabled DList Cache for the Paper Mario games, hopefully both will be compatible in the future.
