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

Also two little changes which don't affect functionality or performance:
Change an IUnknown* cast to a T* cast.
Improve some error messages.

return to the old values in constants in pixelshader, the old values give mi 3 or 4 fps more,(maybe some kind of compiler optimization) in some games and with the current algorithm i notice no difference with this values, please report any problem.
optimizes SSAA to make it a little faster and, the quality should be the same but with a little speedup.
change the way the frame is processed depending is xfb is enabled or not to make this a little faster.
please test and report any problem

in general cleanup and bugfix disable pierre patch for the moment as it causes problem in some games and hopefully fix the remaining missing textures for nvidia users in opengl.
make the code in pixelshadergen looks nice and readable.
D3D: this is a ultra experimental commit please check for regressions or error.
make the efb Scale / super sampling level customizable to improve the output quality and let the user configure quality according to his hardware.
is everyone likes this change will translate it to opengl
please test

variables, writeable strings and dangerously shadowed variables.
index(), gamma(), exp() and y0() are POSIX functions and using those
names can cause namespace confusion.
A number of C files were missing the final newline required by ANSI C
and some versions of GCC are pedantic enough to complain about this.
These changes simply the scons build, allowing us to get rid of
filterWarnings which is simply more trouble than it's worth.

this not solve the remaining projection problem in some games like mario kart wii
will work that problem later.
please test and let me know the results.

implemented fixed efb scale to improve alignment and discard some error caused by incorrect scale.
make both plugins work similar. this must improve opengl image quality a lot.
also implemented dynamic resizing in opengl, this way the resolution math the windows resolution on resize.
this is highly experimental so please test a lot.
implemented shader dumping on error thinking in future experiments with shaders.
enjoy :)

fixed fps display in the top bar, now it shows the real fps of the game.
some code clean up and some corrections to make everything work right in the reference renderer.
multiples xfb now is broken even in single core as is was not an error caused by dual core, i really dono where the error is,everything looks correct but if you test a game with multiples xfb or the ipl you will see the error.
ector if you can take a look at he code and throw me some ideas i'll thank you.
please test.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5272 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
the problem is one strange behavior i found, in opengl when xfb is enable, frame limit causes the frame rate to be limited exact half the correct speed, so if you choose auto and the game uses 30 fps you get 15 fps
so in opengl, you have to limit to the exact double of the game speed, 100 to pal games and 120 to ntsc.
in d3d this not happened every time, it just happen when you change some time consuming setting like changing the ssaa or resizing the window, in that case you have to disable and re enable frame limit to get the correct fps
to all the devs please if you can help me debug this, will give you a lot of thanks as i'm short in time to debug this error and is driving me crazy not to find the source of the problem.

implemented donko's xfb in D3D:
the bad things:
*is solower in some cases, slower as opengl
*it do not work in dual core mode, it seems direct3d has serious synchronization problems, to the other devs please if you can take a look and help me :)
*real xfb still not working i have to give it more time to make it work.
the good:
*games that uses multiples xfbs will work now using the virtual XFB.
*implemented a more hardware like approach to scaling, now to calculate the pixel scaling i use the xfb size not the efb so the screen pixels relation is more correct now.
*simplified a little donko's virtual xfb to make it less memory consuming as xfb textures are the exact size of the scaled xfb and not full target width.
* when it works even real xfb will let us use super sampling.
I repeat this commit is totally unstable and in dual core mode it will for sure hang the emulator or at best give totally incorrect results.
Other devs please help as thread sync is not one of my strong points :)
i'll keep waiting for the comments an the -1 :)

in videocommon little fix for the alpha test values, return to the original values as they are more accurate.
in D3D:
huge change in state management, now all the state management is centralized and redundant state changes are eliminated.
Fixed the overlapped viewport error in non ati cards:
the error was caused by this: when a viewport is defined larger than the current rendertarget, an error is thrown and the last valid viewport is used, this is the reference behavior, in ati cards if a larger viewport is defined, no eror is returned, the rendering is valid and is rendered using the projection defined by the viewport but limited to the rendertarget are, exactly like opengl or the GC hardware.
to solve this in reference drivers defined a large rendertarget (2x the size of the original) and proceed to render in a centered quad insithe the larger rendertarget, in this way larger viewports always falls inside a valid rendertarget size, the drawback of this is the waste of resources. it can be dynamized, depending or games or changed at runtime when a oversized viewport is detected, but i live that to future commits.
please test this and let me know the results.

- Add an option to enable the EFB scaled copy *TODO find a better place for it to go.
SOIL - Update stb_image to the latest version (1.16 to 1.18)

Also reimplemented screen clearing as a color quad to support alpha blending when clearing as in the original hardware.
the funny thing is how is implemented peeking, as locking depth textures is not supported, implemented peeking copying the values form the depth texture to a r32f render target and then reading back the data.
please a lot of testing to this commit.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4599 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
first part if fixing, fixed, i thing, the flickering that everyone has reported, at least in my case i only have flickering in the one texture in one game and now is fixed. The other fix is not for an reported issue, is more a correctness fix, running dolphin with pix to review debug errors, result in a ton of warnings and error, now with this commit, at least for ati, there no more error or warnings, this means, correct management and state change, no accurate emulation, for this still a lot of work to do.
for this part of the commit please give me feedback and let me know of remaining issues
Te second part is the partial implementation of efb to ram copy in d3d, this won't brake anything because is commented but i commit this to ask for help from ector and donko in some errors remaining in the implementation related to differences between opengl an d3d.
if you want to test this you have to uncomment line 150 to 155 of bpstruct.cpp

corrected a little depth textures still broken but now at least i discover the reason, the ultra bad news for d3d lover is, the only correct way to implement depth textures will be do a firs depth only pass disabling blending.
This is because blending is affecting the values stored in the depth texture, so to store the true values, blending mus be deactivated.
this will degrade performance but is the only "Correct" way in d3d 9. the other possibility is dx10 but that's a complete different story ;)
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4526 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
Implemented all the correct format conversions in efb to texture copy.
replaced all the stretcrect calls with quad draws this must improve speed a bit.
A BIGGGGGGGGGG cleanup in the code and reorganization.
reimplemented zpeek using a secondary render target ( this still is buggy so many issues left)
please a lot off feedback.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4520 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
d3d: remove the depth texture path it will not work so for now only lockable textures were available. i thing the only way will be a use a secondary render target and do a depth pass to mimic depth textures.
opengl: minor cleanup here and there and a possible fix to issue 1509, but not tested because in my system the errors remarked in the issue don't show.
commond: code reorganization an optimization in the pixel shader generator, trying to understand the tev stages, make some changes to make the generator faster (not much only started for the alpha test and fog).
this changes try start solving the diferences bethen the hardware plugins and the soft plugin.
i hope with i don't brake nothing but please test this a lot.

they are extremely hard/driver Dependant so your test is needed.
there plugin will automatically select the path thats work for your hard, need that everyone post the messages that the video init throw (yes all will hate me for the messages) but is the only way to see what is the optimal path. in the next commit will clean the unused paths.
i'm afraid thath the second path is Vista dependant (you need to include vista sdk to make it work).
the third path use lockable depth buffer so there is no change in that.
now peek color is fully working and is fast because the you never lock the the real color texture only the offscreen surface.
please if someone knows a game that use peek color please test it.
also fixed blending so SMS underwater must be fixed.
this work with d3d teach me that i love opengl :)
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4393 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
implemented buffer format fall back to allow hardware that don't support lockable formats to run the games with Z peeking disabled, applied as well the patch suggested in issue 1494 please give heavy test to this commit
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4365 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
Opengl:
Reorder the rendering path to make it more generic, and a little bit faster i think.
Reduce the index Buffer size to make it more Friendly to older video hardware.
get rid of the remaining annoying sps (I hope).
D3D:
Implement the same path as opengl to make the plugins more similar and maintainable.
Fixed Peek_Z this means, Pushing stars in SMG Now Works.
Please give heavy testing to this changes and compare the performance with the old path.
Thanks to hrydgard for let me participate :).
