- NVN's depth mode is runtime state: Mario, Metroid Dread, Super Mario 3D
World and Breath of the Wild keep near = -w (GL); Link's Awakening,
13 Sentinels and Engage set near = 0. The translator rewrote z for GL
in every vertex shader, so near = 0 games had all depths in 0.5..1 and
depth-to-distance effects were wrong: Link's Awakening's depth of field
blurred the whole screen outdoors.
- The translator no longer rewrites z; dmsh_build.py (vs_depth) writes two
entry points into every vertex library, main0 with the GL rewrite (the
same arithmetic as before) and main0_z without; the host picks one from
the mode the game sets (mtl_set_depth_zero, shader_load). No per-game
setting; a red line if the mode changes after vertex shaders loaded.
Metal function constants were measured at about 2.4 ms of
specialization per vertex shader, so two entry points instead.
- New translator dll (Ryujinx dlls unchanged), lock and chain versions for
every profile; Mac libraries and c1_full.tsv rebuilt for Link's
Awakening, Engage, 13 Sentinels and Mario Wonder (Breath of the Wild,
Super Mario 3D World and Metroid Dread follow).
- Checked on the Mac: Link's Awakening outdoors (from a save in Mabe
Village) has a sharp middle band again; Mario Wonder's title renders
the same as before (differences only in animation).
- README gallery: Engage, 13 Sentinels and Link's Awakening recaptured
with this build.
- README: a gallery with one picture per game (docs/images): iPhone shots
with the virtual gamepad for Mario Wonder, 3D World, BotW and Link's
Awakening; Mac shots (captioned) for Engage, Metroid Dread and 13
Sentinels. Link's Awakening is now listed as in testing on an iPhone.
- scripts/build_ipa_from_nsp.py: a game with no profile is surveyed, then
gets a provisional profile guessed from the survey in
<NSP folder>/<id>_build/profile/<id>/ (outside the repo, reused on the
next run) and a best-effort IPA; --survey-only keeps the old behaviour.
game.py searches DM_GAMES_DIR after dm/games; the host Makefile reaches
such a profile through a symlink; build_ipa.sh finds it through game.py.
zip_store also stores files whose headers say they are compressed.
- copy_t2t_draw: depth-stencil copies now carry the stencil ([[stencil]]
export from an X32_Stencil8 view). Link's Awakening's occlusion pass
tests stencil bit 1 of its quarter-size depth copy, whose stencil was
the new texture's undefined content.
- Link's Awakening: four outdoor shaders with the foliage shader's input
loop failed on the iPhone (Half2 / normalized formats); listed in
shader_facts_manual.tsv. Chain c4995bb3161c.
