Changes

Ocarina of Time's NVIDIA DLSS replacement (#606) only runs in Quality: Max Resolution renders the scene at 2560x1440 and DLSS upscales it to 4K. This adds the setting "NVIDIA DLSS mode in Ocarina of Time" (Quality, Balanced, Performance, Ultra Performance), so cheaper cards (RTX 3050 and similar) can render less and let DLSS do more.

  • file_sys/patch_manager.cpp: three built-in patches change the scale that Max Resolution's fixed-scale path returns (main+0x806420, mov w9, #0x3f800000, i.e. 1.0) to 0.871 / 0.75 / 0.5. The setting picks one. They apply only while NVIDIA DLSS is on, check the original instruction and the build id like the other built-ins, and are not listed in Add-Ons. Quality keeps the game as it is.
  • Below 1440p the game uses other upscale shaders: 0x4c1ae2fe58f30a97 in menus and 0x9302bc0d6d1d9bc1 in the field. They are replaced like the 1440p one (Ocarina1440pScaledShader, Ocarina1440pScaledFieldShader). The scene extent check accepts any 16:9 size up to 2560x1440.
  • DLSS chooses its mode from the render to output ratio, so Ultra Performance runs 1280x720 -> 3840x2160.
  • Qt: the combobox sits under the NVIDIA DLSS checkbox and is hidden like it in builds without DLSS. The labels name only the mode, because the game's output resolution depends on docked mode.

The mode takes effect when the game starts. I tried switching it while the game runs (rewriting the instruction and invalidating the JIT range, plus an operation mode notification), but the game kept its render size, so that is not part of this PR.

Testing

Machine: CachyOS, Linux 7.3, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 3090 (NVIDIA open 620.70.06), GCC 16.2.1.

  • Build: this branch on nx2 bbf3e62, Release with ENABLE_WERROR, without DLSS (the default Linux build). It builds and the unit tests pass.

  • Gameplay: Ocarina of Time (0400486024DEC000), docked, 1x resolution scale, Max Resolution on. Tested with this branch merged with video_core: NVIDIA DLSS on Linux through NGX #800 (DLSS on Linux through NGX), because Linux has no Streamline. Log:

    Applying built-in patch "DLSS Ultra Performance render scale (built-in)" (1 records) to main
    NVIDIA DLSS (NGX): 1280x720 -> 3840x2160, mode 3, preset 0, LDR
    Ocarina DLSS presented 3840x2160
    

    Quality gives 2560x1440 -> 3840x2160, mode 2. Image quality was checked by eye only.

In handheld mode the game outputs 1080p and the existing DLSS path does not apply, with or without this change (unexpected upscale images); the help text says the setting needs docked mode.

Not tested: Windows / Streamline, Balanced and Performance in game (only Quality and Ultra Performance were played), and other GPUs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added selectable NVIDIA DLSS modes for Ocarina of Time: Quality, Balanced, Performance, and Ultra Performance. The selected mode applies the corresponding rendering scale when DLSS is supported.
    • Added descriptions and translated options for the new graphics setting. The setting is available only in builds with DLSS support.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved DLSS upscaling support for additional Ocarina of Time rendering paths, including scaled 1440p output.

…formance)

Ocarina of Time's DLSS replacement (zortos293#606) only runs in Quality: Max Resolution renders the
scene at 2560x1440 and DLSS upscales it to 4K. A new setting, "NVIDIA DLSS mode in Ocarina of
Time", lowers that render scale for cheaper cards:

- Three built-in patches load a lower scale into the fixed-scale path Max Resolution takes
  (main+0x806420, mov w9, #0x3f800000 -> 0.871 / 0.75 / 0.5). The setting picks one, they
  apply only while NVIDIA DLSS is on, and they are not listed in Add-Ons.
- Below 1440p the game runs other upscale shaders (0x4c1ae2fe58f30a97 in menus,
  0x9302bc0d6d1d9bc1 in the field). They are replaced like the 1440p one, and the scene extent
  check accepts any 16:9 size up to 2560x1440.

DLSS picks its mode from the render to output ratio, so Ultra Performance runs 1280x720 -> 4K.

Walkthrough

Adds configurable Ocarina of Time DLSS modes and mode-specific render-scale patches. Extends Vulkan DLSS replacement checks to recognize scaled 1440p shader variants.

Changes: Ocarina DLSS mode support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add the Ocarina DLSS mode setting
src/common/settings_enums.h, src/common/settings.h, src/common/settings.cpp, src/qt_common/config/shared_translation.cpp, src/yuzu/configuration/configure_graphics.cpp
Adds a four-value mode enum and a renderer setting that defaults to Quality. Adds translated labels and options. Builds without Streamline skip this setting in graphics configuration.
Apply mode-specific render-scale patches
src/core/file_sys/patch_manager.cpp
Adds three Ocarina built-ins for Balanced, Performance, and Ultra Performance. PatchNSO applies a mode-specific patch only when Streamline DLSS is enabled and the selected mode matches. GetPatches omits these entries from the Add-Ons list.
Recognize scaled 1440p shaders
src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_compute_pipeline.h, src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_compute_pipeline.cpp, src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_rasterizer.cpp
Adds shader hashes for the scaled 1440p paths and includes them in upscale replacement checks. The 2560×1440 target path accepts scene extents up to 2560 pixels wide with an approximately 16:9 aspect ratio.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to cb064

This adds an optional Ocarina of Time DLSS mode setting with mode-specific render-scale patches that apply only when DLSS is enabled. No merge-blocking risk was identified; Balanced and Performance have not been tested in gameplay.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: an NVIDIA DLSS mode setting for Ocarina of Time with Balanced, Performance, and Ultra Performance options. The changeset adds the OcarinaDlssMode enum, the ocarina_dlss_mode setting, the three render-scale built-in patches, the shader-hash and scene-extent updates, and the combobox UI. The title does not mention Quality, which is the default and keeps existing behavior, but this omission is minor. The title is specific, uses no vague terms, and fits within normal length.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 28.57% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 7 functions across 9 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

The settings file is shared between builds, so a build without Streamline/NGX could read
ocarina_dlss_mode and render below 1440p with the game's own upscale.
