Late christmas present. Due to the way alpha works on the model3 adding regular anti-aliasing doesn't really work. Supersampling is very much a brute force solution, render the scene at a higher resolution and mipmap it.
It's enabled via command line with the -ss option, for example -ss=4 for 4x supersampling or by adding Supersampling = 4 in the config file.
Note non power of two values work as well, so 3 gives a very good balance between speed and quality. 8 will make your GPU bleed, since it is essentially rendering 64 pixels for every visible pixel on the screen.
Polygons have a line of sight value that's either a 0 or 1. We write this value into the stencil buffer, then read the app can read it back to determine the polygon attribute is visible or not. The returned value is 1/depth value in world coordinates. The first bit of the float is actually a control bit, 1 indicates no geometry hit, 0 indicates geometry hit.
Some games update the tilegen after the ping_ping bit has flipped at 66% of the frame, so we need to split the tilegen drawing up into two stages to get some effects to work. So having the tilegen draw independantly of the 3d chip can make this happen.
also fixes 3 bugs:
1) mpeg right channel volume was always using the left channel volume, too
2) too high MusicVolume setting was not clamped to 0..200
3) too high SoundVolume setting was not clamped to 0..200
PowerPC no longer clears its own IRQ line; it is now cleared by the IRQ controller when there are no more pending interrupts. Not all games clear DMA interrupts so it was necessary to tweak the 53C810 SCSI controller and the Real3D DMA interface to only fire interrupts if a certain register is correctly set. 53C810 has the documented DIEN (DMA Interrupt Enable) register; Real3D DMA seems to use the low bit of the dmaConfig register.
Also I removed the net IRQ as no games seem to actually use it.
music timing in Daytona USA 2 and Sega Rally 2. DSB1 CPU timing
increased from 1MHz to 4MHz, improving music fade timing in Scud Race.
Thanks to gm_matthew for these discoveries.
-Separate each possible boards (wheel, joystick, skipad, billboard).
-Defined a Driveboard type in Games.xml for each games.
-Due to the refactoring, Driveboard Savestates have changed (a common base data + a specific board data are saved).
-Backwards compatibility with previous save states is maintained.
-Driveboard rom section is no longer required anymore. This disables Driveboard emulation in case the rom is not found.
-Added Billboard emulation (vf3, vs2, fvipers2, von2). 7 segments and lamps Outputs are redirected to Supermodel outputs.
-Changes project to C++ 17 standard.
