Correct texture synchronization on the mt rendering backend about reicast-emulator HOT 32 CLOSED

rendering thread is light enough, can't we make another thread that handles synchronization? Not only for textures but for other things too?

@loungekatt is your bot still up? if not, is there a known good substitute?
otherwise i can probably setup jenkins.

The most recent build is there but in the readme is a link to angelXwind's, too

from reicast-emulator.

What is the frequency? When I checked it had the hash from a commit ~10
hours back, but not the latest commit which was 3 hours back at that time.
The force link was down :(

I'll have to get that back up. I forgot about it when I moved stuff around. I had cut it back to manual builds since I was doing them almost every merge anyway. I kept having to reset the server so it was to avoid corruption. I'll trigger one now and get the link back up in case I fall behind again.

Thanks!
Have you ever used jenkins? Its a piece of cake to setup. May be a good
option because you have the server and perhaps easier to maintain.

I'll have to check it out. Thanks. All my current stuff is homemade. It was originally intended for in-app compiling but in this case, seeing the output is a little bit irrelevant.

from reicast-emulator.

@skmp tried latest build with street fighter 3 and the gfx are still the
same with issues.
Tried with unstable on and off.
Screens: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B3xeid6v2vUbVXZGODU3TThwLUE/edit

@loungekatt I got a lot of crashes when the browser was downloading covers.
Had to put just the one game in a folder by itself.

Also I think the l&r triggers are not working on shield.

Sf3 gfx are still corrupted

from reicast-emulator.

do you think the sf3 graphics problem is a separate issue?

from reicast-emulator.

Hum this looks accidently closed from the merge. Yes i think sf3 is
affected. I dont know why the fix does not work

Looking into this now, already fixed a bug. Palettes need to be syncronized!

from reicast-emulator.

Anndd fixed. Turns out it wasn't sync related, but locking related. SF3TS uses VQ as PAL, updates VQ LUTs to do the animations, I only locked the actual pixel data, and not the vq index data per texture (was a side effect of how I calculate the effective pixels).

from reicast-emulator.

may I ask (maybe somehow related to this issue) question ?
there was a bug in mvsc2 on NullDC http://code.google.com/p/nulldc/issues/detail?id=176 , all other DC emulators also have such gfx artifacts. except reicast, it shows characters portraits in intro fine. can you say please that was the cause of this bug ?

from reicast-emulator.

Uhrfm, I love when I leave comments "i know what it is" but never elaborate. And screenshots are down too. lulz.

from reicast-emulator.

If you can verify this with reicast, open a new issue here. I guess at some point I need to get @MrPsyMan to verify the old nulldc issues...

from reicast-emulator.

no, no issues needed, on reicast its OK, from very first revision. but all others DC and Naomi emulators not OK.
so I'm just curious what was the cause, if you remember. (its not texture caching)

here is how it was on NullDC:

from reicast-emulator.

Awesome!

Hmm, latest build still has the problem in sf3. Is it in unstable opts?

screen shots was made from r141, but build doesn't matter - latest r150 have the same glitches, as well as MAME, Makaron, Demul...

from reicast-emulator.

I got this from travis:
2014-12-17 09:54:36 commit #160d6f0

sf3:ts def still has the issue, tested with latest build on shield and htc, chd and gdi.
are you not seeing stuff like this? https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3xeid6v2vUbWXpPYnJWcEFWZlE&usp=sharing

anything else it could be on my end?

from reicast-emulator.

btw the issue is also visible in the automated test (though old): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5tKB85RxfI#t=84
is there a way to kick off a new run on specific games?

from reicast-emulator.

Gah, this issue really doesn't want to die eh? I'll test more.

from reicast-emulator.

Okay, this issue looks to be not resolved after all. I did run the game, and it DID work. wth?

from reicast-emulator.

Did some other minor thing get tweaked after the test?

I have no idea, but this ain't making it into r7. Let's be happy with the mvsc fix for now

from reicast-emulator.

@p1pkin, no idea. Texture handling was majorly improved on reicast (much more compact, cleaner code) but none of the changes I remember should be fuctional changes. Could be some common sh4 bug?

Closing this in favor of #292 which is more descriptive of the remaining glitches
