Dual Core sync fix.
When the FIFO is processing data we must not advance the cpu cycles in CoreTiming because in this way the VI will be desynchronized. So, We are waiting until the FIFO finish and while we process only the events required by the FIFO.
This should fix Issue 2072 .
This affect to all games in dual core mode.
Please, You can test all games with VPS limiter auto, 60, 50 depending of the game and compare with prev revision.
For example now NSMB in the video Intro has 60 fps (prev 30 fps) :D or SMG does't need anymore FPS Limitter Hack to get 55-60 fps
Beside the slowdowns now are more softly and the fps more stables because the VI sync is almost perfect.
The Core Timing and Fifo modifications are delicated. Please report if this hang any game. Don't forget check with prev revision.
Enjoy it! Thanks to Rodolfo for teach me all about dolphin.

I don't know if issue 2792 is a valid issue for dolphin. I think that is a bug in the X server implementation on those distributions of those affected. I can not replicate it.

fixed screen clearing and simplify drawClearQuad a little
put some nice code from dx11 that i like in dx9.
modify plugin spec preparing for implementing efb poke (is not used often but is a missing functionality so..)
please test.

- be more strict with the input signature of generated pixel shaders
- replace the D3D parameter with an API_TYPE one, so that we can further distinguish between DX9 and DX11
- for what it's worth dx11 (using vs_4_0) doesn't support D3DCOLORtoUBYTE4; added a workaround for this
- add a "dx9-" prefix to the shader cache files to avoid conflicts with dx11 shaders
Apart from that we're calling CommandProcessor::Shutdown() in main.cpp,Shutdown() now.
Delete all files in User/ShaderCache if you want to save a few KB disk space :P

Ideally we should be more character set aware, but at the moment we
use anonymous 7/8-bit strings in too many places.
Fix use of AddGrowable{Col,Row}. Any (non-zero) rows/columns must
have been created first by adding an item to it.

Patch from user gamepromcompany on the MacOSX_Build wiki page.
Add support for the Mac command key as a hotkey modifier in
WXKeyToString but present it as Control. WXKeyToString is used for
both hotkeys and menu accelerators, the latter only supporting
Shift/Alt/Control with wxWidgets.
wxSpinCtrl on wx 2.9 has a very small default size, so give the
window size ones a reasonable size.
Use wxFULLSCREEN_ALL when switching to fullscreen, which gets rid
of window decorations like the title bar. Note that to actually
be rid of it with wx 2.9 on OS X, you'll need this patch:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/11701
Also remove a couple of files I had accidentally duplicated.

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

Not only does it change tons of files to switch to a new and non-working (it doesn't parse my ini files, at least) ini parser, it also reshuffles a lot of code and removes a plugin. The latter part is fine, but doing these two major switches in one revision, one of which is broken, is completely unacceptable. I said to merge tiny changes, not massive reworkings.

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.

All visuals with parameter GLX_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB = 0 have
GLX_SAMPLES_ARB = 0, so the old code would only ever choose
visuals with GLX_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB>=1 and GLX_SAMPLES_ARB>=1.
Some drivers do not export any multisampling capable visuals,
so dolphin fails to find a matching visual and falls back to
the single buffered visual(which does not work for some yet
unknown reason). Fixes issue #2647.

almost fixed real xfb in d3d, i say almost because there are some minor scalling problems. hope will fix them soon.
implemented a more intelligent index generator to emulate more accurately the behavior of the gc.
please give me feedback on this changes.
enjoy :)

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.

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.

applied mlkbouba patch to make Mario Strikers Charged Football work (i do not own the game so please test).
some minor tweaks to the plugins to improve performance. for game that do not use xfb the best settings are dual core enabled, audio throtle disabled, frame limit set to the desired value, and xfb off.
change the frameskip calculations to use fps instead of vps as in dual core vps != fps caused by unresolved sync problems, till this problems are fixed the best for game play is calculate times in base of fps.
please test and let me know the results

Fixed a segfault in linux when a cd/dvd drive is empty or invalid and "Boot from DVD" or "Show Drives" are selected.
On all platforms if a game fails to load show the game list again.
The other things here are essentially code cleanup and won't be noticeable by most users.

If you are having trouble with segmentation faults in linux try "shared_soil=true". That seems to fix the problem. How do we fix this for the static build?

after some test the more relevant parameters were the color samples and the tlut max size.
so delete the rest of the parameters and define 3 modes:
Safe : the two values are set to 0 meaning all the texture data and all the tlut data are hashed this is the most correct and slowwwwwwwwwww way
Normal: 37 samples are taken from the color textures an the firs 4096 bytes of the tlut are hashed, is a lot faster than safe mode but in some games i observe small glitches.
Fast: 8 samples are taken from the color textures an the first 1024 bytes are hashed from the tlut, is a little slower than the unsafe cache but at least all the games i tested have correct text output and fast frame rate. the glitches in dinamyc color textures are more noticeable in this mode
this values could be improved, if you find a better combination please post it and the game it fixes and i will update the source.
for the moment, as my time is limited by a lot of work, only implemented the d3d gui, if someone can implement the opengl gui will be a lot of help for me.
please test a lot and let me know the results.

fixed a misbehavior in the clear code that causes depth clear problems in reference hardware (Intel as example).
add 6 parameters to optimize Safe Texture Cache:
SafeTextureCacheColorSamples, SafeTextureCacheIndexedSamples, SafeTextureCacheTlutSamples:
this 3 parameters gives the number of samples taken to calculate the final hash value, less samples = more speed, more samples = more accuracy
if 0 is specified the hash is calculated using all the data in the texture.
SafeTextureCacheColorMaxSize, SafeTextureCacheIndexedMaxSize, SafeTextureCacheTlutMaxSize:
this parameters limits the amount of data used for the hash calculation, it could appear as redundant but in some games is better to make a full hash of the first bytes instead of some samples of all the texture.
color, indexed, tlut : define the texture type, full color data, indexed, and the tlut memory.
the parameters are available in the config , no GUI at this time, if the test are OK will add it to the GUI.
if someone needs it will give more examples on how to configure the values for specific games.
