revert last commit, add CheckInvalidState to VideoBackend

2012-12-23T12:32:23+00:00

made savestates synchronous and immediate. this allows saving or loading while the emulator is paused, fixes issues where savestate hotkeys would get ignored if pressed too close together, might speed up savestates in some cases, and hopefully makes savestates more stable too.

2012-05-26T03:09:38+00:00

the intent is to replace the haphazard scheduling and finger-crossing associated with saving/loading with the correct and minimal necessary wait for each thread to reach a known safe location before commencing the savestate operation, and for any already-paused components to not need to be resumed to do so.

This release still fixed the hangs produced by fifo overflow without sacrifice performance.

For example you can test Tutorial moves at the beginning of The last history now is fluid 30/60.
Shuffle2: I've delete the hacky line, I think is not necessary anymore. Additional some clean in CommandProcessor.
Please test The Last Story and others games affected in the previous commits and give me a feedback.

* GUI Video-Settings changes:

2011-03-21T19:57:31+00:00

  - Removed recent ghanges about separate per-game Video Settings
  - Added "One Window 3-State Support" (very close to full implementation)

git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@7391 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e

Moved per-game graphics configuration to the game-list right click menu. It will be too difficult to make the "profiles" drop-down thing work with 3-state vs 2-state checkboxes. The per-game settings now have "undetermined" states, except for the radio buttons(I'll fix that later). It's super hacky right now. Video config (probably all config stuff) could be redone.

Fix the video software backend. (closes issue 4269)

2011-03-16T22:48:17+00:00

Some warning fixes and cleanup.

git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@7361 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e

If video backend initialization fails, have the emulator die gracefully instead of crashing the application. Also a little clean up of the passage of the video window handle to the backend and back.

Big Fifo Commit Part2: Now the fifo is more stable than my first commit, so is time...

2011-02-17T04:25:21+00:00

- ReImplementing Single Core Mode like Dual Core Mode Style.

- Stage 1: My goal is, we have the Fifo, CommandProccessor code the more clear, maintenible and documented possible. When I quit dolphin I want any developer can continue with the work only reading the code.
	
* Big Refactoring: A lot of functions was changed the names, and modularized.
Now the FifoLoop and CatchUpGPU does not exist, was replaced by RunGpu() and RunGpuLoop().
The general idea is modeling the code like the real HW. The fifo is only a buffer where the Write Gather Pipe write the commands and from the Graphic Processor read these.
* Big Clean UP a lot of obsolete code and comments was deleted, like DcFakeWachDog, "Fifo very soon hack", etc.

In the stage 2, I will refactoring more code doing emphasis in the division of CommandProcessor, Fifo, Gpu Emulation. Beside I will comment all functions and variables in the code (Don't worry I will ask for English help for this part ;) )

Please test a lot SC mode and DC mode :)
Thank you so much for testing always and the patience. I don't like broke your favorite game but... you must believe me this part is very sensible, I only try to contribute for have a better and stable dolphin emulator.

- FIX RE0 GFX fifo errors :D

2011-02-13T15:08:37+00:00

- This game read the CPRead pointer when the GP is processing data and after detach the fifo  and attach again an use this pointer for continue, so implement fifo.SafeCPReadPointer pointer.
- fifo.SafeCPReadPointer is updated when (FAKE_GetFifoEndPtr() - g_pVideoData) == 0) to have a pointer without GFX Commands Cut in the beginning of 32 block.
- Reset video buffer when the CPReadWriteDistance is written by the software.
- This commit is experimental please test a lot your games.
