Adds 2MB VRAM fitment for the boards that carry it (System 573 and friends). A new setting plus -2mbvram/-1mbvram select it; GP1(09h) bit 1 gates the upper bank, and on a 1MB board an opened upper bank reads the floating bus as 0xFFFF, which is what a SCPH-5501 and a SCPH-1001 return. Transfers, copies, fills, drawing area, display start, CLUT and texpage Y all go through the gate in both renderers, and the viewer shows all 1024 rows. Save states go to v5 to carry the full 2MB.

The src/mips bump brings in the tests/2mb-vram probes from nugget#129; tests/pcsxrunner/twomb-vram.cc runs them. GPU dumps, the logger replay and shmdisplay still assume 512 rows and just ignore the upper bank for now.

RFC because it adds a setting and two CLI flags.

@spicyjpeg GitHub would not take you as a requested reviewer, so pinging instead: this is the emulator half of the 573 2MB VRAM fitment. The probes are in nugget tests/2mb-vram.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds configurable 2 MB VRAM support. GPU addressing, transfer commands, software rendering, display sampling, and VRAM inspection now account for up to 1024 rows. Settings, command-line options, save-state storage, and regression probes also change.

Changes

2 MB VRAM Support

Layer / File(s) Summary
VRAM configuration and addressing contract
src/core/gpu.h, src/core/psxemulator.h, src/main/main.cc, src/core/gpu.cc
The GPU tracks 2 MB fitment and the second-bank gate. The emulator adds a disabled-by-default setting and -2mbvram and -1mbvram options. GP1 command 9 updates the gate.
VRAM command addressing and transfers
src/core/gpu.cc
Fill, copy, upload, and readback commands use masked dimensions and resolved Y coordinates. Texture-page and drawing-area Y decoding can use the additional bank bit.
Software VRAM storage and drawing
src/gpu/soft/*
The software renderer allocates 2 MB of VRAM, sets its drawable height from fitment and gate state, and uses that height for drawing and display uploads.
OpenGL VRAM sampling and display dimensions
src/core/OpenGL_GPU/*, src/core/display.cc
OpenGL sampling uses a configurable Y mask and texture-page mode. Texture and display operations use the 1024-row extent. Display Y normalization uses 1024 rows.
VRAM settings and viewer coordinates
src/gui/gui.cc, src/gui/widgets/vram-viewer.cc
The GUI adds a 2 MB VRAM option and displays a compatibility warning when it is combined with OpenGL. The VRAM viewer uses 1024-row coordinates and bounds.
Save-state storage and regression probes
src/core/sstate.*, tests/pcsxrunner/twomb-vram.cc, src/mips, pcsx-redux.nix
Save states use version 5 and store 2 MiB of VRAM. New runner tests execute VRAM probes. The MIPS subproject reference and Nix fetch revision and hash change.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f011d

Some 2MB VRAM configurations can display the wrong rows, lose upper-bank sampling after shader edits, or leave the upper bank inaccessible after loading a save state. These are material feature failures to address before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Replay GP1(09h) when loading GPU state.

A fresh GPU starts with the 2MB gate closed. GPU::deserialize() restores the saved control word but does not execute GP1(09h), and SaveStates::load() does not reapply it before returning. A saved state with the gate open can therefore resume with upper-bank accesses wrapping into the lower 512 rows until the game sends GP1(09h) again. This affects ordinary loading of states that use the 2MB upper bank.

Review comments at @src/core/gpu.h:
- Around line 850-851: Resolve the raw display-start Y in write1 before storing
or applying scanout wrap, so Y=600 maps to row 88 with the gate closed and
remains in the upper bank when the gate is open and 2MB is fitted; preserve the
open-bus case only when the gate is open without 2MB fitment. In write1 and
changeDispOffsetsY, use a scanout limit of 1024 when the gate is open and 512
otherwise, rather than using m_vramHeight as the scanout limit.

Review comments at @src/core/OpenGL_GPU/gpu_opengl.cc:
- Around line 320-323: Update configure() to refresh m_vramMaskYLoc and
m_texpage2MBLoc for the newly compiled program, mark m_vramConfigDirty, and call
pushVRAMConfig() so the shader receives the current VRAM configuration after
recompilation.

Return open-bus words for OpenGL upper-bank reads.

For a 1MB GPU with GP1(09h) bit 0 set, VRAM-to-RAM readback rows at Y=512 or higher satisfy vramOpenBus(l), but this loop still reads them from getVRAM(). After reset, non-MSAA OpenGL clears its full texture to black, so these reads can return black pixels instead of 0xFFFF. The software backend pre-fills the same rows correctly. Check vramOpenBus(l) here and enqueue kVramOpenBusValue for those rows.

Resolve display-start Y before applying the scanout wrap.

The soft renderer stores the raw 10-bit Y, then both display-wrap paths compare it with 512. With 2MB fitted and the gate open, Y=600 can reset the display position to row zero instead of showing the upper bank. With the gate closed, Y=600 should resolve to row 88, but the current path can also reset it to zero. The open-bus case applies only when the gate is open and 2MB is not fitted. Use a scanout limit of 1024 while the gate is open and 512 otherwise; m_vramHeight is a drawing limit and is 512 for 1MB fitment.

Review comment at @src/core/gpu.h around lines 850 - 851:
Resolve the raw display-start Y in write1 before storing or applying scanout
wrap, so Y=600 maps to row 88 with the gate closed and remains in the upper bank
when the gate is open and 2MB is fitted; preserve the open-bus case only when
the gate is open without 2MB fitment. In write1 and changeDispOffsetsY, use a
scanout limit of 1024 when the gate is open and 512 otherwise, rather than using
m_vramHeight as the scanout limit.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Shader recompilation loses the new VRAM uniforms.

initBackend looks up u_vramMaskY and u_texpage2MB and pushes their values. configure() (Lines 462-475) recompiles the program from the shader editor, but it does not do the same:

  • It does not refresh m_vramMaskYLoc or m_texpage2MBLoc.
  • It does not set m_vramConfigDirty.

After a shader edit, the new program keeps the GLSL defaults 511 and 0. The upper bank then becomes unreachable even when 2MB is fitted and the gate is open. The cached locations can also point to the wrong uniforms.

Fix: in configure(), look up both locations again and call pushVRAMConfig() with the dirty flag set.

Update configure() to refresh m_vramMaskYLoc and m_texpage2MBLoc for the newly
compiled program, mark m_vramConfigDirty, and call pushVRAMConfig() so the
shader receives the current VRAM configuration after recompilation.

Yeah this one needs to be properly rebased...

-2mb/-8mb already select the main RAM size, so the VRAM fitment gets its own pair.
resolveVramY() is the chokepoint: gate closed wraps Y at 9 bits, gate open honors 10 bits, and an open gate on a 1MB fitment reads open bus (0xFFFF) and drops writes.
Transfers, copies and fast-fill take the COPY/fill size masking and wrap per row; drawing-area, display-start and CLUT Y decode at 10 bits, and the texture page takes Y from bit 11 under 2MB.
The soft VRAM is always 1024x1024; under 1MB fitment the upper half is prefilled with the open-bus value.
Copies route Y through the bank gate, and the rasterizer draws up to Y=1023 when 2MB is fitted and the gate is open.
The soft display textures are always 1024x1024 and the display Y is normalized over the full height, so a framebuffer in the upper bank scans out.
The probes now live in nugget (tests/2mb-vram/); bump src/mips to 20b63161 to pick them up.
Rows 768-1023 survived a reset under 2MB fitment, and the GL mirror was refreshed from the guard area instead of VRAM.

Rebased onto main. The only conflict was the nugget pin, now at 20b63161, which already carries the sr-write tests main pins.

Restore GP1(09h) before restoring VRAM.

GPU::deserialize restores the status value, uploads VRAM, and then replays control commands without command 9. The saved bank gate is not restored. With the gate closed, resolveVramY folds upper-bank rows into the lower bank, so a loaded 2MB state can leave its upper bank inaccessible.
