  • Added support for running with nx-hbloader as an Application.
  • Added support for enabling video recording when running as an Application, although it needs a specific flag set in the host title's nacp to be accessible.

graphics

• Refactored console device:
  • The console now has an interface that can be used to override the default software rendering backend with a custom implementation (including GPU rendering).
  • The software renderer now takes care of calling gfxInitDefault, gfxSwapBuffers, gfxExit. gfx functions should not be called explicitly by console users.
  • Added consoleUpdate and consoleExit.
  • Old code is still compatible, although it is strongly advised to update it to use the new functions instead of calling gfx functions directly.
• Fixed NvFence regression on 1.x.
• Increased default nvservices transfermem heap size to 8 MB, which allows for more complex GPU homebrew to run.

graphics

• Major rewrite and refactoring work in the gfx wrapper which brings reliability and usability improvements:
  • Removed GfxMode_TiledSingle mode due to it causing problems and potential (temporary) hardware damage.
  • The default transform behavior no longer vertically flips the framebuffer.
  • Removed gfxSetDrawFlip since it's no longer needed thanks to the change in the default transform behavior.
  • It is not necessary to call gfxWaitForVsync in most situations because gfxSwapBuffers already implicitly synchronizes with the display (this is mandated by the Android surface compositor and buffer producer system).
  • Dequeue fatal errors should be solved.
  • Simplified and streamlined logic.
  • nvgfx stripped down to the minimum that is actually necessary to allocate framebuffers.
  • Binder logic now more closely matches both Android code and official software.
  • Proper fence and event wait code is now used.
