This commit changes the default value of Fast Texture Sampling to true, and also moves the setting that controls it to the experimental section of the advanced tab. This is its own commit so that it can be easily reverted when we want to default to Manual Texture Sampling.

This adds about a frame of latency, and since most games don't change
VI registers during scanout, we can get away with outputting the XFB at
the start of scanout. WWE Crush Hour is the (only currently known)
exception, which has flickering problems when doing it this way.
This adds a path to perform the output at the end of scanout, and gates
it behind an option which defaults to using the latency-reducing
pre-scanout path.

Currently, we do not display every second frame in 25fps/30fps games
which run to vsync. This improves performance as there's less rendering
for the GPU to perform, but when combined with vsync, could cause frame
pacing issues.
This commit adds an option to force every frame generated by the console
to be displayed to the host, which may improve pacing for these games.
This adds an ini-only setting under GFX.ini -> [Settings] ->
MaxInternalResolution. Setting this will allow the user to select
resolutions beyond the default 8x max scale in graphics options.
Now the detection heuristic has changed, the old value is no longer
valid.
Some example thresholds for known mipmap effects that should trigger:
SMG's lava has a mimimum difference of ~17.8, SMG2's clouds have a
minimum difference of ~14.8, and Wind Waker's foam has a minimum
difference of ~15
Non-triggering examples were tested and all had a calculated difference
lower than 3.
So a value of 14 should lean towards false-negatives instead of
positives, but this is clearly incomplete testing and may require
further tweaks later.
This makes it possible to use enums as the config type.
Default values are now clearer and there's no need for casts
when calling Config::Get/Set anymore.
In order to add support for enums, the common code was updated to
handle enums by using the underlying type when loading/saving settings.
A copy constructor is also provided for conversions from
`ConfigInfo<Enum>` to `ConfigInfo<underlying_type<Enum>>`
so that enum settings can still easily work with code that doesn't care
about the actual enum values (like Graphics{Choice,Radio} in DolphinQt2
which only treat the setting as an integer).
Also makes y_scale a dynamic parameter for EFB copies, as it doesn't
make sense to keep it as part of the uid, otherwise we're generating
redundant shaders.
Skip ubershader mode works the same as hybrid ubershaders in that the
shaders are compiled asynchronously. However, instead of using the
ubershader to draw the object, it skips it entirely until the
specialized shader is made available.
This mode will likely result in broken effects where a game creates an
EFB copy, and does not redraw it every frame. Therefore, it is not a
recommended option, however, it may result in better performance on
low-end systems.
This enables shaders to be compiled while the game is starting, instead
of blocking startup. If a shader is needed before it is compiled,
emulation will block.
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.
This reverts commit 1fc910b3ea,
replacing the old INI setting EFBScale with a new INI setting
called InternalResolution, which has a simpler mapping:
| EFBScale | InternalResolution
----------------- | -------------------- | --------------------
Auto (fractional) | 0 |
Auto (integral) | 1 | 0
1x | 2 | 1
1.5x | 3 |
2x | 4 | 2
2.5x | 5 |
3x | 6 | 3
4x | 7 | 4
5x | 8 | 5
6x | 9 | 6
All the fractional IRs were removed in f090a943.
This was mainly included for debugging, but could end up being confusing
for users, as well as polluting the GL program cache with a mix of uber
and specialized shaders if the option was changed.
This makes the EGL interface select OpenGL|ES contexts over "desktop"
OpenGL ones.
Possibly not useful for anyone outside my own debugging, but you never
know
