PCSX2 SVN r1138

PCSX2 SVN r1138 is released.PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.

PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r1125
ZeroPad: Apply the multiple key patch in issue 197 to ZeroPad. Currently Linux only.
r1126
ZeroPad: Commit bolche's Analog control code, ifdeffed out, so I don't forget to add a gui for it and enable it some day.
r1127
Zeropad: Clean up the code so that if I have to go back into it, it's easier to read.
r1128
ZeroPad: Patch to fix a bug introduced in r1125.
r1129
Fix bug from r1116 [essentially a misplaced jNO_DEFAULT directive].
r1130
ZeroPad: Revert the changes to the Windows files in ZeroPad, and ifdef off the changes in the common areas, as the Windows version of ZeroPad is clearly only working by voodoo and bailing wire on Windows. (Note: unable to reproduce ZeroPad working properly in any revision [including playground days] on any version of Windows available. Likely because I don't have any poultry handy to sacrifice.)
r1131
Improved handling of jNO_DEFAULT so that it performs a sanity check in Devel builds [currently applies to Pcsx2 only since we don't have a standard define macro for devbuild in the plugins].
Cleaned up and abbreviated logging for the new IOP HwRead/Write handlers.
r1132
Apparently the MSB of integer register specifications in VU micro instructions is ignored, making the upper 16 registers mirror the lower 16. Changed all relevant instructions to reflect this.
r1133
Apply recent Iop HwRegister handler changes to the EE's mapping [EE has direct access to IOP memory and registers through a special tlb mapping, intended for ps2dev debugging, and generally used by bios only during boot-up).
r1134
This is why a type safe emitter is important.
r1135
Small speedup for the EE/IOP recompilers, by removing the legacy limit on the number of recompiled blocks (was causing recompilers to reset the code buffers way more than necessary).
r1136
pcsx2:
- PCSX2 would repetitively call CDVDopen if loading an elf file and your cdvd plugin didn't have an ISO already pre-loaded. Basically I had to switch to CDVDnull whenever I wanted to load an elf... well not anymore xD
microVU:
- Implemented the VI regs thing where if an opcode tried to access vi regs 16~31, the VU's should return vi0~15 (viReg & 0xf); technically it should never happen, but from my tests the BIOS seems to do this... so maybe some rare games do it too...
- Our VIF code apparently uses VU cycles for some stuff, so I now update the
cycles variable VIF relies on.
- Minor Optimizations
r1137
Optimized vtlb direct path memory operations using some crafty asm code. Expect 2-3% speedups in most things, and perhaps more in some FMVs.
r1138
Some code cleanups for the new vtlb optimization (no intentional functional changes -- just deleted unused code and converted all of vtlb to the new emitter syntax. Let's hope I didn't typo anything!)
