Metal sounded like a good idea to get in the emulator but frankly I
underestimated just how experimental and not ready it was.
From my write up in the Discord:
```
As is, Metal supports only a few games.
The games it does support freeze on first use of not playing them via Vulkan, because shader translation is broken.
So you need to use a dirty hack to not delete all your shaders.
Not to mention it breaks many games via MoltenVK because of changes to the shared GPU code.
Merging Metal seemed like a great idea, because of the few games it does support.
But I don't think it's worth it. Many of the games it breaks via MoltenVK *don't work via Metal*.
Which effectively makes current Ryubing worse for Mac users than Ryujinx 1.1.1403.
I think what I'm gonna do is revert Metal, and reopen it as a PR. That way, you can still take advantage of the Metal backend as is, but without making other games worse with no solution.
```
For what it's worth, the shader translation part could at least be
"fixed" by always applying a 30ms delay for shader translation to Metal.
That being said, that solution sucks ass.
The MoltenVK regressions are even worse.
I hope this is not a let down to the Mac users. I hope you realize I'm
reverting this because you're actively getting a worse experience with
it in the emulator.
Quality of life feature
Similar in function to the "Start Games in Fullscreen" toggle
For users who want to run games in windowed/non-fullscreen mode with
menu UI hidden, this eliminates the need to always click "Hide UI"
Adds an additional application list sorting method for the TitleID. A
bit of a niche choice for sorting but I think the TID is a relevant
enough piece of metadata that it should be there. (And I personally
would be using it)
- Using existing TitleId constant in ApplicationSort, implying this was
meant to be in the sorting options at some point?
- Reuses the "DlcManagerTableHeadingTitleIdLabel" locale for fulfilling
the need already, might be better to make a unique one for this in the
long run but this codebase is new to me so I wanted to make the changes
as unobtrusive as possible
- Using app.Id for the comparer seems to work fine, not sure if using
something else like IdString would be better?
- privated the constructor; only obtainable by the static helper on the main LdnGameData class.
- constructor logic now in the static helper; constructor just directly sets the data it's given.
This introduces the ability to read and write game data and model
information from an Amiibo dump file (BIN format). Note that this
functionality requires the presence of a key_retail.bin file. For the
option to appear and function in the UI, ensure that the key_retail.bin
file is located in the <RyujinxData>/system folder.
Rebased @jcm93's refreshinterval branch:
https://github.com/jcm93/Ryujinx/tree/refreshinterval
The option is placed under System/Hacks. Disabled, it's the default
Ryujinx behavior. Enabled, the behavior is shown in the attached
screenshots. If a framerate is too high or low, you can adjust the value
where you normally toggle VSync on and off. It will also cycle through
the default on/off toggles.
Also, in order to reduce clutter, I made an adjustment to remove the
target FPS and only show the percentage.
