The option is named DisableCopyToVRAM under the Hacks section in
GFX.ini. It is intentionally not exposed to the GUI, as users should not
need to use it under normal circumstances. The main use is debugging
issues in the EFB-to-RAM shaders.
- Smplification of graphics backend startup/shutdown.
- Don't send complete message until CPU is ready to execute.
- Remove redundant stop message.
- Remove OSD message with backend name.
There are two reasons for this change:
1. It removes many repetitive lines of code.
2. I think it's a good idea to enable the use of old-style section
names even for settings that previously haven't been settable in game
INIs. Mixing the two styles in INIs (using the new style only for new
settings) is not ideal, and people on the forums don't even seem to
know that the new style exists (nobody knew a way to set ubershader
settings per game, for instance). Encouraging everyone to start using
only the new style might work long-term, but it would take take time
and effort to make everyone get used to it. Considering that this commit
*reduces* the amount of code by adding the ability to use old-style
names for more settings, I'd say that adding this ability is worth it.
Some homebrew expect exception handlers to be present -- which is
almost always the case on console, since most of the time homebrew are
launched from either a libogc or SDK title) -- and break if they are
not. To fix this, we just need to include default, dummy handlers.
Set HID0, HID4, GPR1 to values that are used by libogc for
initialisation. This makes boots more similar to a launch
from the HBC or another loader, since normally the registers
have already been initialised by the loader.
This fixes a crash in homebrew that assume GPR1 points to a correct
location and attempt to use it before initialising registers.
Currently, a simple typo in the system name will trigger an assert
message that complains about a "programming error". This is not
user friendly and misleading.
So this changes GetSystemFromName to return an std::optional, which
allows for callers to check whether the system exists and handle
failures better.
This was causing an issue where DolphinQt couldn't save graphics options
(DolphinWX doesn't hit this code path), because this function was being
called before the in-memory config was flushed to disk.
With this PR, the in-memory config isn't reset, and only SYSCONF-related
variables may get changed.
