iChris4andClaude Opus 5.5 c990c595f0 Render only the window in the Quest's immersive window
- The pacing thread aims each immersive window eye through the window itself (AimEyesThroughWindow):
  it keeps its position but looks square-on at the window's plane through an off-axis frustum just
  around it, so the eye image is the window, at the display's pixel density (about 680x380 per eye
  at render_scale 0.8 instead of 1344x1408), with a two-pixel border the mask leaves transparent.
  The frame's views carry that pose and field of view to the projection layer.
- vulkan_interop.cpp copies an eye smaller than its AHardwareBuffer into the buffer's corner, and
  the Quest layer's imageRect is the rendered part of the swapchain image.
- These eyes are not foveated: their field of view follows the head, which would rebuild the
  density map every frame.
- Quest only (kWindowShapedEyesSupported); the PC backends copy whole eyes and keep masking them.
  debug.wiicompiled.window_eyes 0 renders them whole and masked again for A/B timing.
- Quest 3, paused Retro Rewind race, render_scale 1.0: Immersive window runs the GPU at level 1
  (456 MHz, app GPU 11.0 ms, eyes 8.4 ms) where Immersive needs level 3 (599-640 MHz, 13.4 ms,
  10.3 ms), about 42% fewer GPU cycles. No edge artifacts, image as sharp. Docs: OPENXR.md.

Logo

Aurora is a source-level GameCube & Wii compatibility layer intended for use with game decompilation projects.

Originally developed for use in Metaforce, a Metroid Prime reverse engineering project. It now powers several completed source ports, including Dusklight.

Features

  • Application layer using SDL3
    • Runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, tvOS, Android
  • GX compatibility layer
    • Graphics API support: D3D12, Vulkan, Metal
    • Highly accurate and performant GX implementation
    • Robust pipeline cache system with "transferable" cache support for releases
    • Dolphin-compatible texture pack support
    • Widescreen & resolution scaling support
    • Custom APIs for offscreen rendering
  • PAD compatibility layer
    • Utilizes SDL_Gamepad for wide controller support, including GameCube controller adapters
    • Automatically saves and loads controller bindings and port mappings
    • Gyro & mouse support
  • DVD compatibility layer
    • Utilizes nod to support all GameCube/Wii disc image types, including RVZ
  • CARD compatibility layer
    • Full compatibility with Dolphin .gci and .raw for game saves
  • Dear ImGui built-in for simple debug UIs

Graphics

The GX compatibility layer is built on top of WebGPU, a cross-platform graphics API abstraction layer. WebGPU allows targeting all major platforms simultaneously with minimal overhead. The WebGPU implementation used is Chromium's Dawn.
