This is the format used by PS2.
This requires fixing the palette conversion routines (and palette writes
in the MIPS dynarec) but also adding support for 555 mode blending
(currently only 565 modes are supported, regardless of whether they are
RGB or BGR).
This patch adds big-endian compatibility in gpsp (in general but only
for the interpreter). There's no performance hit for little-endian
platforms (should be a no-op) and only add a small overhead in memory
accesses for big-endian platforms.
Most memory accesses are wrapped with a byteswap instruction and I/O reg
accesses are also rewired for proper access (using macros). Video
rendering has been fixed to also do byteswaps but there's a couple of
games and rendering modes that still seem broken (but they amount to
less than 20 games in my tests with 1K ROMs).
This also adds build rules and CI for NGC/WII/WIIU (untested)
Added a more thorough cache cleanup for reset/mode-change too.
Fixed the mmap initialization that ends up leaking memory.
Minor x86 asm fixes for Android.
This removes libco and all the usages of it (+pthreads).
Rewired all dynarecs and interpreter to return after every frame so that
libretro can process events. This required to make dynarec re-entrant.
Dynarecs were updated to check for new frame on every update (IRQ, cycle
exhaustion, I/O write, etc). The performance impact of doing so should
be minimal (and definitely outweight the libco gains). While at it,
fixed small issues to get a bit more perf: arm dynarec was not idling
correctly, mips was using stack when not needed, etc.
Tested on PSP (mips), OGA (armv7), Linux (x86 and interpreter). Not
tested on Android though.
this also changes how direct sound channels are started and
sample step precision is increased to hopefully fix gbc + direct
channel desync that has been reported on the forums.
