It is used to downscale the input image horizontally and vertically, previously we were only downscaling it vertically so this caused a hard-to-debug memory corruption problem.
Bit 3 is used to specify a raw copy, where no processing is done to the data, seems to behave exactly as a DMA.
Bit 1 is used to specify whether to convert from a tiled format to a linear format or viceversa.
It's not really known how this actually works. Some testing has shown that this probably performs no filtering, and common usage in games suggests it's not actually resizing the image at all.
However, this patch does seem to fix some homebrew showing quasi-duplicated images while still keeping other applications in a working state.
This name better represents what the enum does, and is less overloaded
in the context. (The whole register the enum is part of is also called
'format'.)
This cleans up the mess that address reading/writing had become and makes the code a *lot* more sensible.
This adds a physical<->virtual address converter to mem_map.h. For further accuracy, we will want to properly extend this to support a wider range of address regions. For now, this makes simply homebrew applications work in a good manner though.
While it was some nice and fancy template usage, it ultimately had many practical issues regarding length of involved expressions under regular usage as well as common code completion tools not being able to handle the structures.
Instead, we now use a more conventional approach which is a lot more clean to use.
