Based on the feedback from pull request #1767 I have put in most of
degasus's suggestions in here now.
I think we have a real winner here as moving the code to
VertexManagerBase for a function has allowed OGL to utilize zfreeze now
:)
Correct use of the vertex pointer has also corrected most of the issue
found in pull request #1767 that JMC47 stated. Which also for me now
has Mario Tennis working with no polygon spikes on the characters
anymore! Shadows are still an issue and probably in the other games
with shadow problems. Rebel Strike also seems better but random skybox
glitches can show up.
Initial port of original zfreeze branch (3.5-1729) by neobrain into
most recent build of Dolphin.
Makes Rogue Squadron 2 very playable at full speed thanks to recent core
speedups made to Dolphin. Works on DirectX Video plugin only for now.
Enjoy! and Merry Xmas!!
This reverts an optimization which isn't worth imo. Every texture uploads have to alloc vram and a staging buffer, so there is no need to do both in the same call.
This fixes running Dolphin on the Nexus 9.
Android's EGL stack has internal arrays that they use for tracking OpenGL function usage. Probably has something to do with their OpenGL profiling
garbage that used to be in ADT.
Android has three of these arrays, each statically allocated.
One array is for all GLES 1.x functions
One array is for all GLES 2.0/3.0/3.1 and a couple of extensions they deem worthy of being in this array.
The last array is for all function pointers grabbed via eglGetProcAddress that isn't in the other two arrays.
The last array is the issue that we are having problems with. This array is 256 members in length.
So if you are pulling more than 256 function pointers that Google doesn't track in their internal array, the function will return NULL and yell at you
in logcat.
The Nvidia Shield Tablet gets around this by replacing part of the EGL stack with their own implementation that doesn't have this garbage.
The Nexus 9 on the other hand doesn't get away with this. So we pull >100 more function pointers than the array can handle, and some of those we need
to use.
The workaround for this is to grab OpenGL 1.1 functions last because we won't actually be using those functions, so we get away with not grabbing the
function pointers.
