This was added in #10394 for both the hardware and software backends to work around an issue with Mario Kart Wii, Fortune Street, and Baten Kaitos. However, it seems like the software renderer handles blending well enough that we don't need this (and in any case, it's easy to change blending in the software renderer).
Some experimentation with #11387 (not pushed) showed that the software renderer's logic would also produce correct results on the hardware backends with this hack removed, but would require fbfetch (currently); if a better solution is found the hack can also be removed from the hardware backends.
Texture dumping can already be done using VideoCommon's system (and in fact the same setting already enabled *both* of these). Dumping objects/TEV stages/texture fetches doesn't currently have an equivalent, but could be added to the FIFO player instead.
It stores both the konst selection value for alpha and color channels (for two tev stages per ksel), and half of a swap table row (there are 4 total swap tables, which can be used for swizzling the rasterized color and the texture color, and indices selecting which tables to use are stored per tev stage in the alpha combiner). Since these are indexed very differently, the old code was hard to follow.
The masking was incorrect. This affects the main menu of The Last Avatar, though that menu also relies on copy filter functionality that is not correctly handled in the software renderer so the difference is not obvious; that game shuffles textures across all indices for some reason, so this issue would presumably result in subtle flickering.
Adds a pass to process driver deficiencies between UID caching and use, allowing a full view of the whole pipeline, since some bugs/workarounds involve interactions between blend modes and the pixel shader
I think this is a relic of D3D9. D3D11 and D3D12 seem to work fine without it. Plus, ViewportCorrectionMatrix just didn't work correctly (at least with the viewports being generated by the new scissor code).
These aren't particularly useful, and make the code a bit more confusing. If for some reason someone wants to test what happens when these functions are disabled, it's easier to just edit the code that implements them. They aren't exposed in the UI, so one would need to restart Dolphin to do it anyways.
This message would be logged, usually multiple times, for EVERY. SINGLE. PIXEL. That's pretty much useless and just makes the log unreadable. Plus, the current support (which acts as RGB8) is close enough that for end-user purposes, it's fine. I don't think the hardware backends support RGB565_Z16 and its antialiasing functionality correctly either, but they don't have similar logspam.
It doesn't make sense for alpha to add the bias ONLY when dividing by 2, while color doesn't apply the bias for divide by 2 only; hardware testing indicates that alpha should have the bias.
This fixes the menus in Mario Kart Wii (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11909) but reintroduces the white rectangle in Fortune Street.
This reverts commit 5aaa5141ed (and several other matching changes elsewhere).
The compiler was loudly announcing each and every branch Tev was not checking in
a switch statement, but Tev has learned it's lesson and will produce that
warning no more.
Currently the logic for addressing the individual TexUnits is splattered all
across dolphin's codebase, this commit attempts to consolidate it all into a
single place and formalise it using our new TexUnitAddress struct.
This fixes various texture offsetting issues with negative texture coordinates (bringing the software renderer in line with the hardware renderers). It also handles the invalid wrap mode accurately (as was done for the hardware renderers in the previous commit). Lastly, it handles wrapping with non-power-of-2 texture sizes in a hardware-accurate way (which is somewhat broken looking, as games aren't supposed to use wrapping with non-power-of-2 sizes); this has not been done for the hardware renderers.

MAX_XFB_WIDTH/HEIGHT are the largest XFB sizes seen in practice, but do not make sense to use for the backbuffer size, which should be the size of the window. The old code created screenshots with a size of 720x540 on NTSC games when "Dump Frames at Internal Resolution" is unchecked; now, the window size is used.
Previously we set the texture coordinate to zero, now we set
the texture coordinate *index* to zero. This fixes the ripple
effect of the Mario painting in Luigi's Mansion.
VideoCommon: Change the type of BPMemory.scissorOffset to 10bit signed: S32X10Y10
VideoBackends: Fix Software Clipper.PerspectiveDivide function, use BPMemory.scissorOffset instead of hard code 342
Fixes issue 11393.
The problem is that left and top make no sense for a width by height array; they only make sense in a larger array where from which a smaller part is extracted. Thus, the overall size of the array is provided to CopyRegion in addition to the sub-region. EncodeXFB already handles the extraction, so CopyRegion's only use there is to resize the image (and thus no sub-region is provided).
Additional changes:
- For TevStageCombiner's ColorCombiner and AlphaCombiner, op/comparison and scale/compare_mode have been split as there are different meanings and enums if bias is set to compare. (Shift has also been renamed to scale)
- In TexMode0, min_filter has been split into min_mip and min_filter.
- In TexImage1, image_type is now cache_manually_managed.
- The unused bit in GenMode is now exposed.
- LPSize's lineaspect is now named adjust_for_aspect_ratio.
Additionally, VCacheEnhance has been added to UVAT_group1. According to YAGCD, this field is always 1.
TVtxDesc also now has separate low and high fields whose hex values correspond with the proper registers, instead of having one 33-bit value. This change was made in a way that should be backwards-compatible.
The special case doesn't appear to make a significant difference in any games, and the current implementation has a (minor, fixable) issue that breaks Super Mario Sunshine (both with a failed assertion (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11742) and a rendering issue (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/7476)). Hardware testing wasn't able to reproduce the special case, either, so it may just not exist.
PR #9315 contains a fixed implementation of the special case on all video backends, and can serve as a basis for it being reintroduced if it is found to exist under more specific circumstances. For now, I don't see a reason to keep it present.
We want to clear/memset the padding bytes, not just each member,
so using assignment or {} initialization is not an option.
To silence the warnings, cast the object pointer to u8* (which is not
undefined behavior) to make it explicit to the compiler that we want
to fill the object representation.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12245.
I considered making a change to DolphinQt instead of
the core, but then additional effort would've been
required to add the same fix to the Android GUI once
we start using the new config system there.
