EmuNations

--1.25.6--

general: The download manager now has experimental support for downloading DLC
        Online features require dumped system files. See the guide at:
        https://cemu.cfw.guide/online-play

Vulkan: Fixed an issue where asynchronous GPU operations could get stuck indefinitely
       Lego Batman 3 should no longer softlock on Vulkan (#495)

Vulkan: Reworked command buffer scheduling to decrease latency between CPU and GPU
       This can improve performance on some systems

GX2: Correctly emulate timestamp submission in GX2DirectCallDisplayList()
    Some games, like Bayonetta 1, rely on this behavior and should run much more stable now

UI: Fixed an issue where the game list would not track play time

--1.25.5--

New in 1.25.5b
Vulkan: Partially reverted new synchronization model due to worse performance on some drivers
       Also fixed a general synchronization issue that could lead to flickering graphics and various other defects

UI: Tracking of play time should work correctly again

gfxPacks: Fixed two regressions related to label processing in assembly patches (#574)

New in 1.25.5:

CPU: Added option to control the speed of the emulated CPU timer, similar to the functionality offered by Cemuhook's custom timers

Vulkan: Reworked internal synchronization
       This fixes some pixel flickering artefacts. Known occurrences:
       Some waterfalls had tiling artefacts in Breath of the Wild
       Shadows would flicker in Pac-man and the Ghostly Adventures

AX: Implemented audio AUX bus mixing correctly
   Some games use this feature for reverb or similar audio post-processing effects

The changes below are mainly of interest to graphic pack developers:

gfxPacks: Fixed various issues related to assembly patches
         Alignment behavior is now consistent across all gfx pack versions
         Automatic alignment. Cemu will automatically insert padding to keep the alignment intact (.align directive no longer required in most situations)
         Fixed wrong encoding of CR operand in cmpw/cmplw instruction

debugger: Double clicking an entry in the debugger module window will jump to its base address
debugger: The debugger register view window will now correctly show the state of the CR register fields

--1.25.4--

Vulkan: Avoid internal hash collision related to pipeline lookup
       This fixes a bug where, under very rare circumstances, draw operations would render with the wrong parameters
       Seen in Minecraft where the block highlighting lines would render as broken triangles, other games are possibly affected as well

Vulkan: Optimized data uploads to GPU
       On systems with unified memory (integrated GPUs) we will use cached shared memory which has very low overhead
       Data uploads are generally not a bottleneck in Cemu but this optimization might still help with performance on low-end systems

OpenGL/Vulkan: Fixed a regression from 1.25.3 where textures would show incorrectly or garbled

UI: The graphic pack preset selection is now more robust and consistent
   Previously it was possible that the active presets would differ from the ones shown as active in the UI

UI: Fixed an issue in the texture cache viewer window where the overwrite resolution column would not show the correct value

--1.25.3--

New in 1.25.3b:
Vulkan/OpenGL: Fixed graphic bugs introduced by one of the optimizations in 1.25.3

Vulkan: We had to disable multi-threaded pipeline loading for Nvidia GPUs due to driver crashes
       The exact cause is still being investigated. We plan to reenable this feature for Nvidia GPUs once a solution has been found

New in 1.25.3:
Vulkan/OpenGL: Several smaller performance optimizations to decrease CPU load of the GPU emulation thread

Vulkan/OpenGL: Fixed performance regression introduced in 1.25.2

Vulkan: Pipeline cache loading is now multi-threaded and thus should be much faster

Vulkan: Fixed a severe memory leak during pipeline cache loading

GX2: Minor optimizations to various GX2 API functions

UI: Input window improvements
   Slightly altered profile load/save buttons for better clarity. Making it easier to distinguish if a profile is created, updated or loaded
   Show a warning if no GamePad has been configured as most games require one to be at least connected

logging: Cemu will now no longer overwrite the log file immediately on start. Instead it will only write it once a game has been launched or an error occurred
        This is to prevent users from accidentally resetting log.txt merely by reopening Cemu

--1.25.2--

New in 1.25.1d

syshid: Various tweaks and fixes to the emulated HID driver (#545)
       Fixes USB portal device randomly disconnecting in Skylanders Swap Force
       Fixes high latency (up to half a minute) on some portal devices

Vulkan: Ignore invalid mips for MSAA textures
       Fixes Snoopy's Grand Adventure (US) crashing on boot (#355)
       The EU version still gets stuck at the language selection screen. A workaround for this is to use a save file with the language already set

Vulkan: Added support for little-endian encoded vertex indices
       Fixes broken 3D geometry in Neko entertainment games (or anything that uses NGDK2 engine)

VPAD: Corrected behavior of touch-screen coordinates when in non-touching state
     Fixes unclickable buttons in Neko entertainment games

AX:   Implemented API AXSetVoiceOffsetsEx
     F1 Racing should no longer crash on launch

UI: When launching Cemu with the -g option skip loading and displaying the game list

UI: More descriptive error messages when launching a game fails (e.g. due to moving game files but not updating the paths)

UI: Fixed an issue where changes to graphic packs settings would not save

nsysnet: Fixed a crash in getsockopt()
        Seen in Skylanders Swap Force with online mode enabled

coreinit: Implemented API FSTruncateFile/FSTruncateFileAsync
         Adventure of Pip will no longer freeze when saving

coreinit: Correctly handle the mirrored affinity bits in OSThread context
         Fixes Othello softlocking on the titlescreen--1.25.1--

New in 1.25.1c
UI: Cemu will inform the user about the available Cemuhook update if an outdated Cemuhook installation is detected

New in 1.25.1b
general: A side effect of upgrading wxWidgets was that it broke compatibility with Cemuhook
        This hotfix prevents outdated Cemuhook from crashing Cemu
        You can get an updated version of Cemuhook for 1.25.1 on https://cemuhook.sshnuke.net/

New in 1.25.1:
general: We now ship with Cemuhook's shared fonts as the default system fonts
        Our previous placeholder font was incomplete and lacked some special characters as well as many non-latin characters
        Credits go to rajkosto for creating the fonts and hand-drawing the Nintendo specific glyphs

general: Fixed an issue where Cemu would create the mlc directory at the default location before the user set a location in the 'Getting started' window

general: Improved robustness of title/update installer. It should no longer crash when encountering unexpected errors

AX: Fixed behavior of AXGetVoiceLoopCount()
   Resolves an issue where animations would reset or skip ahead in Splatoon and Super Mario Maker (#15)
   This change may also positively affect games that are prone to random sound corruptions (e.g. Paper Mario Color Splash)

GX2: GX2ResetGPU() will no longer softlock Cemu
    Games occasionally call this API if they believe the emulated GPU is stuck (e.g. due to excessive shader compilation stutter)
    Seen in Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario Tennis and Darksiders 2

UI: Removed precompiled shaders option from UI as it had no effect on Vulkan. There was also no reason to set it to anything but the default (auto) on OpenGL
   This is just a UI change, none of the actual shader caching mechanics were changed

UI: Clicking the download graphic packs button in the 'Getting started' window will correctly open and show the graphic packs window
   Previously the gfx pack window would either not open at all or show up empty

misc: Upgraded wxWidgets (GUI library) to version 3.1.5
     This may resolve crashes that some users have been experience when accessing any file or folder selection dialog

--1.25.0--

New in 1.25.0b:
Vulkan: We further optimized pipeline caches to have a smaller file size

OpenGL/Vulkan: New shader cache format
              50-70% smaller file size compared to the old format
              Internally, it uses our modernized GPU state representation that we also use in the new pipeline cache files

Vulkan: Fixed a regression from 1.25.0 which could cause various random graphic bugs

New in 1.25.0:
Vulkan: Added a permanent cache for Vulkan pipelines
       Unlike the Vulkan-native cache that Cemu used before, this cache does never reset
       Additionally the new cache is independent of hardware and drivers and can therefore be transferred between different PCs

       Technical info:
       Pipeline caching works by capturing the state of the Wii U's GPU at the time of pipeline creation
       During the pipeline loading screen Cemu can then play back those captured states to recreate the pipelines

       Pipelines are directly tied to your shader cache. You need both caches to restore pipelines
       Pipeline cache location: shaderCache/transferable/<titleId>_vkpipeline.bin (new)
       Shader cache location:   shaderCache/transferable/<titleId>_shaders.bin (new, updated with 1.25.0b)

       Known issues:
       The pipeline cache doesn't cover all edge cases yet and a very small fraction of pipelines can't be cached
       It affects less than 0.1% of pipelines but we are looking to bring that number down to zero within the next 1-2 Cemu releases

coreinit: Fixed a recent regression which caused Pokken Tournament to crash or softlock on launch

general: Updated language files

--1.24.0--

New in 1.24.0b:
input: Minor internal tweaks to improve controller detection on SDL2
input: Fixed an issue where controller profiles could not be saved on a particular controller slot under very rare circumstances

New in 1.24.0:
input: Added SDL2 GamePad as a new input API (#514)
      Offers native support for many controllers that would normally require external software (BetterJoy, DS4Windows, Steam)
      Includes motion support for GamePad emulation (if motion data is provided by the controller)
      SDL2 also acts as a wrapper for XInput, making it an convenient all-in-one solution

input: As part of introducing SDL2 we also reworked our motion handling (#329)
      You should now have a much better experience using motion with both DSU but also the new SDL2 controllers

nlibcurl: Made server certificate checks more permissive to match new behavior in Wii U firmware 5.5.5
         This fixes a bug where it was no longer possible to connect to Super Mario Maker course world

Vulkan: Fixed unpacking of quads into triangles
       Resolves graphics bugs in Hyrule Historia

--1.23.0--

New in 1.23.0c
general: The game list will now automatically detect demos and system titles installed to MLC
        It will also detect demos stored in game paths

general: Improvements to the download manager
        - Fixed system titles getting installed to usr/title/ instead of sys/title/
        - Fixed a bug where multiple updates would be displayed for a single title
        - Installed updates are no longer always hidden and instead there is now a checkbox to hide installed entries
        - Fixed a bug where content files with unusual size would fail to verify and cause the download to get stuck (e.g. Nintendo Land update)
        - The game list should now update after installing any title or update
 

New in 1.23.0b
general: Improved robustness of download manager and fixed a few bugs that could occur during the installation step

New in 1.23.0
general: It is now possible to download purchased Wii U eShop games, system titles and updates via our new Download Manager!
        Like other online functionality, it requires dumped online files from a Wii U
        You can access the new Download Manager window under Tools -> Download Manager
        Currently supported features:
          - Downloading purchased eShop games and demos (owned games will be shared between your Wii U and Cemu)
          - Buying games on eShop using the eShop Wii U application and downloading them via Cemu's interface. No game dumping required
          - Downloading the latest updates for your owned titles
          - Downloading some system titles (Friend list, eShop)

        Note that DLC downloading is not yet supported but will be added very soon.

general: New FST reader (FST is the filesystem used for WUD, WUX and .app files)
        Internal support for NUS content (.app) which ties into the Download Manager
        Much higher read throughput than the previous implementation, may boost loading times on
        lower end CPUs where FST processing sometimes became be a bottleneck
       
coreinit: Fixed thread cancelling not working correctly

  coreinit: Implemented API MEMRecordStateForFrmHeap, MEMFreeByStateToFrmHeap
           Used by WUT homebrew

--1.22.7--

• general: The default vsync frequency (emulated refresh rate) is now 59.94 to match the actual console
          Graphic packs can still set it to a flat 60
  
  general: Fixed various small memory leaks
  
  Vulkan: Revised internal swapchain management and fixed some synchronization bugs in the process
         Double-buffered vsync should no longer cause graphical artifacts
  
  Vulkan: Added a new experimental vsync mode
         If enabled, Cemu will match the vblank event timing of the emulated display to the physical monitor on which Cemu is displayed
         This reduces latency and avoids tearing by piggybacking on the emulated game's vsync implementation
      
         For *perfect* results, the vsync rate in Cemu should be equal or slightly higher than the monitor refresh rate
         As an example: When playing BotW on a 60 Hz monitor you want to set FPS++ to either 60 FPS or the next higher option. This is assuming stable 60 FPS can be maintained.
         Alternatively, any integer ratio (1:2, 1:3, 1:4...) should give good results as well. E.g. 30 FPS on 60 Hz, 36/72 FPS on 144 Hz
  
         Even for non-integer ratios (30 FPS on 144 Hz) this mode of vsync should perform at least as well as the Vulkan-native double buffered vsync mode
         
         While this is only available for Vulkan right now, we plan on adding this to OpenGL in the near future
  
  Vulkan: Cemu's internal shaders no longer show up in the overlay statistic ('Compiled x shaders'). Unlike game shaders they do not get cached and also do not cause any stutter
  
  H264/DXVA2: Fixed incorrect handling of mismatching frame pitch
             This should fix broken video playback in Mario Party 10 and Pikmin 3 on some GPUs
  
  GX2: Fetch shaders with a size of zero won't cause a crash anymore (regression introduced with 1.22.6)
      Resolves Minecraft crashing on launch

--1.22.6c--
       general: Made command line parameter parsing more robust

  coreinit: Fixed an issue where the priority of default core threads was too high, leading to CPU starvation of other threads
           Fixes random softlocks in Yoshi's Woolly World
  
  GX2: Reworked GX2 event queue implementation to match behavior of actual console more closely
      This resolves random softlocks in games that rely on GX2 events
  
  GX2: Reworked fetch shader generation (GX2InitFetchShaderEx) to match behavior of actual console more closely
      Improves compatibility with games that are picky about correct shader size. E.g. The Fall is now playable and no longer crashes on boot
      Shader caches and graphic packs are not affected by this change
  
  OpenGL/Vulkan: Fixed generation of invalid shader code when accessing integer texture samplers with certain parameters
                Fixes an issue where the game screen was invisible in Virtual Console DS titles
  
  debugging: wxWidgets errors are now written to log.txt instead of showing an error message box
