first fix for issues introduced in sms in r6501, please test for a regressions in The Calling
Second Fix for Issue 3539, by making pixel Dept calculation an option. in games with this issue Enabling pixel depth will solve the issue, in other games disabling the option will not cause speed lost
some cleanup in dlist cache

* I've fixed concurrency problem with fifo.bFF_GPReadEnable when the breakpoint is achieved
* I modified when fifo.bFF_Breakpoint is turn off to prevent that the interruption happens
* I reverted r6483
* I improved the commit r6495 adding another protection when the GPRead is enabled in CTRL_REGISTER
You can test Pokemon XD in dual core mode is more estable now :P This commit could solve others hangs fifo related in DKC, Sport Resorts, etc. I dont have these games.

Plus: I added a _assert_msg_ in FIFO loop when the WriteDistance is negative. Please if that happens report it, this can help to solve strange issues with wrong WriteDistances.

In this way it prevents wrong fifo.CPReadWriteDistance in the future. That should fix RE0 Issue 2846 and others "Warning: GFX FIFO: Unknown Opcode (0x4d)" in dual core mode.

- Speed up MSAA by using custom resolve shaders instead of ID3D11DeviceContext::ResolveSubresource().
- Fix EFB access when MSAA is enabled.
- Implement the "force linear filtering" option.
- Compile shaders using shader model 4.1 or 5.0 if available.
- Some minor cleanups.
Who cares about DX9 and OGL anyway :P

DX11: Fix a DX11 debug runtime error caused by the vertex shader output signature and the pixel shader input signature not matching if per-pixel lighting is disabled. Someone forgot disabling those pixel shader parameters ;P
DX11: Enable use of dynamic textures wherever possible.
DX9: Remove two unnecessary TODOs. Someone forgot removing those since they've been obsolete for a long time ;P
Anyway, at least working mipmaps and dynamic textures should increase DX11 performance a bit. And "a bit" is more than my usual "marginally" ;)

- Add some info about a backend's feature set (MSAA, Real XFB, EFB to RAM, ..) to VideoConfig
- Gray out options if they aren't supported by the backend or if changing them doesn't affect anything (e.g. changing STC mode if STC is disabled)
- Allow signed bytes for D3D11. Not sure if this causes glitches, but it should work
- Call wxEvent.Skip() in the event function handlers, not sure if this fixes any bugs but the old code definitely caused bugs during development of this patch
- Fix a memory leak in the configuration dialog if D3D11 is used
- Other minor stuff that doesn't need to be mentioned or which I forgot

DX9: When clearing the back buffer in Renderer::Swap(), use IDirect3DDevice9::Clear instead of a clear quad if possible. Should improve performance marginally.

Not sure how to fix Dolphins hotkeys when 3D Vision is enabled (I do know a way, but it's messy and I don't want 3D Vision messing with Dolphin's cleanliness).

The finding was that 99% of the time, textures are static in memory. However, Dolphin would pessimistically continue to decode and copy the same texture every time. The optimisation is to check if the texture matches what is in the cache, and if it does, Dolphin should early exit.
The result is the speed in New Super Mario Bros Wii increased 35% with spinning coins. Still not as fast as EFB copy to texture though.

Some notes about this:
- config.h doesn't get written yet, so you'll have to use one generated by SCons
- dependency checking isn't really implemented, yet. Just some basic checks for OpenGL or ALSA, we need something more sophisticated though.
- the OpenGL plugin fails to load for some reason which I can't debug right now due to the libc debuginfo package version in openSUSE not matching the runtime packages
- there's even some support for generating install packages (rpm/deb/.. packages, NSIS installer, etc). It doesn't work properly right now though, since some paths seem to be hardcoded into Dolphin's source
- probably lots of other stuff I forgot... Just take a look at all the TODOs in the CMakeLists.txt files for more information ;P
Additionally, I added various files to the svn:ignore list.
tl;dr: Unless you are a dev or you're building binary packages, this commit shouldn't bother you :P

Upon texture reloading, the cache entry hash wasn't updated and thus we effectively disabled any texture caching in that case.

Games affected by this change: Mario Smash Football, Mario Strikers Charged Football, Monster Hunter Tri.
Other games possibly affected: Shaun White Snowboarding, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Baten Kaitos.
This implementation will decrease performance if the game uses this feature, but the glitches will be gone. I'll add an option for this in a later commit. EFB pokes are somewhat slow in DX11 right now, speed should be okayish in DX9 though.
Other changes:
- SOMEWHAT cleaned up the EFB access code in DX9
- Fixed incompatible parameter list of AccessEFB and TVideo_AccessEFB.
- Fixed a theoretical bug in ReplaceRGBATexture2D, add support for STAGING textures
- Removed unused parameters in various DX9 functions

final rendering of (at least) Sonic Unleashed.
This should be (nearly) invisible in Z16 depth copies and in games, but there is
some chance that it collides with other such border cases. There probably is some
room to decrease the adjustment but 9999999/10000000 is not enough. A static offset
may be an option, too. I don't know if the game can/does set something like that.

for all the plugins implemented per pixel lighting, this will make games that uses lighting a lot nice. (just look at mario sunshine and compare :))
for dx9: implemented temporal anaglyph stereo: just grab your red-cyan glasses and enjoy.
stereo calibration: use stereo separation ( distance of the point from you are looking) and Focal Angle: the angle necessary to focus in one particular object.
this settings are different in every games as they use different depth ranges.
please for any regression and bug introduced by this commit.
if you ask why i did not implement stereo in dx11 and opengl the reason is one: they don't work right when i have more time will try to find a way to make them work.

Main Issues:
DX11 is functional with a ~2MB/s mem leak.
OpenGL/DirectX9 have a black display while game runs. (DirectX 9 flashes good display on emulation stop)
Too many virtual function calls. (once everything is working, I will work on removing them)
Won't build on non-Windows in its current state. (mainly EmuWindow will need changes for Linux/OS X)
Probably other stuff.

include referenced array data in the hash to avoid problems in some games.
this version is a slower than the last version but is more stable, still much work to do but so little time to do it :)
Added Dlist Caching Option to the plugin configuration so anyone can compare the performance change.

use plain vertex arrays instead of VBOs to render in Opengl plugin as the nature of the data make VBOs slower. This must bring, depending on the implementation, a good speedup in opengl.
in my system now opengl and d3d9 have a difference of 1 to 5 fps depending of the game.
some cleanup and a little work pointing to future improvements in the way of rendering.
please test and check for any errors.

the error was caused by a error in lighting calculations. so it must affect other games.

Really that happens because the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative.
Example: CPReadWriteDistance: -864 CPEnd: 10092672 fifo.CPBase: 9568416
In SMG this is because PI_FIFO_RESET is writing and after fifo.CPReadWriteDistance will be setted to 0.
To Prevent that, I've Implemented AbortFrame function in the CommmandProcessor. It should fix overflown because of that.
Note: There is other issue (Issue 2846) where the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative too but the effect is different.
I'm working to solve this.

Remove a member variable which I introduced in r5907 although it never actually got used. Restores binary compatibility (at least in that regard) to pre-r5907 video plugins, but breaks any binaries after that :P

The code changes disable the usual pipeline flush for certain BP Writes that occur while the minimap is being drawn in Zelda: twilight princess. This significantly increases speed while in hyrule field. The way this is accomplished is described more in depth on page 42 of Xtreme's thread. Big thanks to Xtreme for doing a great job hosting that thread, and Kiesel-stein for initial work on the hack
Also, I used the resource editor in Visual studio to generate the GUI code for the DX11 plugin, and some code appeared to be removed, although the behavior of the GUI did not seem to change. Hopefully someone more experienced with resource files (forms?) can double check that no code was damaged
