Exiting from emulation has always been a big issue for Skyline, with guest and host threads that would keep running in the background unless the app was manually killed. Running emulation in a separate process allows us to kill it when we are done, avoiding the need for complex exiting management code.
The old message was being misinterpreted as if the device's gpu was not supported by the emulator. Reword that message to explicitly mention custom drivers.
* Add a drag indicator at the top
* Fix flex layout wrapping when buttons didn't fit on a single line
* Fix BottomSheetDialog peek height too small on landscape orientation
* General cleanup of the layout
A new `DragIndicatorView` had been introduced, which draws a small drag handle element. When used inside a `BottomSheetDialog`, this view will add a callback for hiding the indicator when the dialog is fully expanded.
Symbol hooking is required for HLE implementations of certain features in the future such as `nvdec` and for more in-depth debugging of games as we can inspect them on a SDK function level which allows us to debug issues far more easily.
The register wouldn't be cleared with a `MOVZ` when a value was zero due to the condition for writing an instruction requiring the `offsetValue` to be non-zero.
Since the register writes technically happen after the draw, issues can occur if they happen before: e.g. skyrim updates ctSelect and disables all RTs after a draw, but this would happen before it previously and crash the driver.
Vulkan doesn't allow sampling a texture and using it as an RT in the same RP, by tracking the texture usage status and splitting RPs when this occurs we can avoid such potential sync errors.
Previously, both I2M uploads and DMA copies would force GPU serialisation if they happened to hit a trap or were used to copy GPU dirty buffers. By using the buffer manager to implement them on the host GPU we can avoid such slowdowns entiely.
The lock release within the wait for submission means that another thread could end up signalling the cycle and then the VK wait still happen after when the lock has been reacquired.
Readback can be especially slow on mobile due to the varying load pattern it creates which often prevents the CPU/GPU from clocking up. Since some games perform texture readback but don't actually use it for anything significant implement a hack to skip it and significantly improve performance in such cases.
Due to the frequency at which is is called megabuffering performance is critical to the performance of the entire emulator, especially in high-drawcall-count scenarios. After the view redesign, megabuffering on a per-view level was no longer possible nor desirable, and thus megabuffering was modified to just copy for every usage of a view. This worked great at the time since there were other bottlenecks, however gpu-new has since removed almost all of them and megabuffering is now a major sore point. Fix this by megabuffering small chunks and storing them in a page-table like structure within the buffer, these chunks can be referenced by multiple views and will be smartly invalidated whenever the sequence number or execution number changes to avoid any sequencing issues. In addition to this, to help the case where almost the whole buffer is read every single frame across a set of multiple views, an optimisation to skip the chunked tracking and use one large single megabuffer allocation and one single memcpy has been introduced. This reduces the overall amount of time spent in memcpy since large memcpys are quicker.
Rather than using just bpb for format compat, additionally check that the exact component bit layout matches since many games end up reusing RTs for unrelated textures. The texture size requirements have also been weaked to only check the resulting layer size as opposed to width/height - this is somewhat hacky but it gets around the problem of blocklinear alignment.
Prevents situations where nothing would otherwise be waiting on the GPU and since presentation no longer blocks too many images would be submitted for presentation.
In some cases like presentation, it may be possible to avoid waiting on the CPU by using a semaphore to indicate GPU completion. Due to the binary nature of Vulkan semaphores this requires a fair bit of code as we need to ensure semaphores are always unsignalled before they are waited on and signalled again. This is achieved with a special kind of chained cycle that can be added even after guest GPFIFO processing for a given cycle, the main cycle's semaphore can be waited and then the cycle for the wait attached to the main cycle and it will be waited on before signalling.
TIC sizes may not be aligned to block linear dimensions whereas RT sizes are and then limited by the surface clip. By using this to determine surface size we are more likely to get a match in texture manager for any future usages.
