Status Update - May 2022 (Patreon)

Hello! In May, I briefly came back to Xbox emulation, and also released a minor update to one of the SilentPatches. Let's get to it.

Main releases:

SilentPatch for Scarface

Thanks to ermaccer, SilentPatch for Scarface now has an option to customize on-foot FOV and camera rotation speed! To get this update, get the latest version of the patch from my blog.

Other work:

Cxbx-Reloaded

• Do not leave KeDelayExecutionThread prematurely - a fix for game's Sleep calls returning prematurely, causing all sorts of timing issues in various games. Known to fix a "dirty disc error" issue in a newly released Lamborghini prototype, but many games may see minor improvements across the board.
• Keep D3D resources alive during resource creation - fixes a race condition exposed again by Lamborghini where the game destroyed a newly created D3D resource before its creation finished.

DuckStation

• Add keys to more OSD messages - a change reducing OSD spam when performing certain actions, like switching resolution scale, PGXP or, renderer.

PCSX2

• GameList: Mark search directory cells as read-only - a fix for a brand new Qt UI by Stenzek where game list entries could be double-clicked and edited, but that wasn't a supported scenario. Now those entries are read-only, just like in DuckStation.

WIL

• Hide QueryUnbiasedInterruptTimeAs100ns and QueryUnbiasedInterruptTimeAsMSec when not targeting Win7 - a minor build fix for Windows Implementation Libraries when targeting Windows 7.
