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.

Some work on changing comments, log messages, and variable and function names to reflect that the plugins are not plugins anymore.

Experimental commit and one fix for my last commit.

2011-02-10T04:47:02+00:00

I think that isFifoBusy bring better sync with VI (video interface) because the CPU emulated threads are waiting for DrawDone in BP Register. So, I do some modifications.
1) Rename "IsFifoBusy" by "isPossibleWaitingSetDrawDone"
2) Only activate isPossibleWaitingSetDrawDone when bFF_GPLinkEnable is true in fifo loop "Inmediate mode" that is because in theory this drawsync function is using in this mode.
3) Deactivate isPossibleWaitingSetDrawDone also in SetFinish in PixelEngine, beside when 32 block is finish.

Please regression in yours games thats can bring some FPS more above all with VPS frame limiter ON (Auto, 60, 50, etc).

- Fix waiting in AbortFrame(), please test mp1/mp2 is fixed again.

Good look!

Paused the video thread while a save state was being created or loaded. Performed the save state operation after the fifo became idle. Saved the interrupt status of the video thread into the save state. This helps stabilise the save states in dual core mode in games like Super Mario Galaxy.

Remove PluginSpecs.h. Merge the few needed enums from that file into Common.h for now. I am up for suggestions on a better place for those.

Fix frame dumping on linux.
Make sure that on screen messages get cleared between games.

Eliminated the plugin interface. Merged DX9/DX11/OGL video plugins into Dolphin. It could still use a lot of cleanup. Lots of things are still named "plugin". Software renderer is temporarily disabled until it gets some namespaces. I only updated vs08/10, Linux/OSX builds are broken.

Fixed a small threading issue introduced by r6933 causing savestates to always freeze, thanks to artart78 for pinpointing the issue.

2011-01-30T21:20:33+00:00

Properly pause the core when saving/loading savestates, previously we used PowerPC::Pause() and Start() which only update the state but doesn't properly set m_StepEvent and caused random hangs.
Fixed hang when creating a savestate while the game was paused or in Frame Advance mode, now the thing works (just remember to press play duh).
