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

The "Enable Progressive Scan" option in the Wii menu now controls whether the Wii/GC will detect a progressive scan display. This affects the timing of some games (both GC and Wii). Usually, the checkbox should be unticked as progressive scan displays require higher bandwidth.
This fixes the slow speed in NBA JAM. This also fixes the hang in Megaman Network Transmission. This should fix Deadly Creatures (turn off progressive scan).

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.

The theoretical result is slightly different to the original shader because the
final adjustment is to the range [0/255..255/255] instead of
[0/16777215..16777215/16777215].
The real result is vastly different on some gpus that were giving incorrect results
of bits 23..16 (y-component) wrapping around while bits 31..24 (z-component)
stayed the same, and bits 31..24 changing while in the middle of the value range
for bits 23..16 for large depth values.
This should fix issue #3123.

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.

- Eliminate the useless check for cpu modifications option from efb to ram as it must be enabled always
- use constant names in dx11 for buffer length calculation instead to simplify code reading
- implemented scaled efb copy in opengl, still bugy in some games, the option is not in the gui but will add it when it works perfect
- Change the depth calculation behavior:
if the game use z textures is exactly the same as before.
if the game do not use z texture calculate z values in the vertex shader. the advantage id this approach is that early z culling is applied,
improving fill rate. this mus speed up things, even with ssaa and msaa enabled.

For a typical OS X app, one only needs to specify the SDK version and the
target OS version range.
Because we use OpenCL which is new in 10.6, however, we must be somewhat
more verbose in order to make use of the forward compatibility facilities.
Unfortunately, the critical bit that is required to have binaries built
on 10.6 work on 10.5, namely disabling the new compact __LINKEDIT format,
causes stack alignment crashes at emulation time on 10.6, so for now
Leopard users still have to build Dolphin themselves.
Hopefully, this stack alignment problem will turn out to be coincident
with lingering alignment issues.
Include the OS X version of the Cg framework in Externals as with the
Windows one. The header files appear to be the same in the Windows and the

Any upgrades to the Cg libraries will of course need to be done in sync.
I do hope that Sonicadvance1's GLSL work will enable us to get rid of Cg.

this must bring some fill rate back and improve speed a little in fill rate limited systems.
2- some corrections to vertexshadergen to avoid uninitialized texture coordinates, dono if is the correct way to fix it but t least it will make house of the dead overkill playable in dx11.
the bad thing: still missing geometri in dx9, in dx11 it works exactly as on opengl.

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.

this is highly experimental so please test a lot.
implemented shader dumping on error thinking in future experiments with shaders.
enjoy :)

a MAYORRRRRR change in pixel shader generation, please review all games you can and leave comments this must improve accuracy in graphic emulation a lot.
for example: mario eyes in super mario galaxy, water pod transparency an water transparency on game intro in super mario sunshine, etc.

make native mips loading an option to prevent performance lost in game that not need this functionality.( thanks to dorian.fevrier for point the performance lost.)
added a patch from pierre@pirsoft.de to avoid vertex drops when index array is full in opengl implementation that do not support large index arrays

add an option to limit fps instead of vps for games with bad synchronization
some minor fixes in d3d gui
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.

Removed X event loops from GCPad and Wiimote plugins, and implemented an asynchronous check for keyboard and mouse buttons.
Also added an X event loop in core that handles events while the emulator is paused. Prevents unexpected behavior from events that occur while the emulator is paused.
Now there is only one event loop running at a time (besides those hidden in SDL).
I will revert this commit if other devs are unhappy with it.

sorry to tell but this will bring a speed drop, so let you decide if this change stay or not.( used the fastest open source hash algorithm i know)
do not apply full hashing to other format because it kills the performance.
for popular request added 9x SSAA believe me will kill your graphic card even if is the best but the image quality is exceptional.
as always please test and let me know the results.

emulator. Also added the ability to close the emulator with the escape key.
Fixed an issue that caused a segmentation fault when trying to close the
emulator when running in fullscreen mode, which can also be done using the
escape key. This makes fullscreen mode useable in linux!

Bit of cleanup/grouping, control creation is now a bit more separate from value setting and tooltip assignment which IMO cluttered the code as it was.
Removed something from main.cpp that looked like a hack to me.
Fixes Issue 2229

reverted a tiny leftover of my safe texture cache commit
D3D
renamed the SSAA modes to use samples as MSAA now they are 2,25x and 4x.
OpenGL:
fixed a nasty logical bug introduced in 4984 that causes efb corruption when efb to texture is used
re enabled shader caching as it was not producing errors.
fixed efb misalignment caused by integer rounding still a bit misaligned but many games will look better now

chage the global format of the screenshots to bmp, is correctly supported by both plugins and is faster.
reverted the changes in safe texture cache, will try to make them more stable then commit them, this should fix compilation in linux and macand error introduced in MP games
corrected all the issues commented by ector, thanks for the comments alway is good that the code is revised by others to find missed spots.
please report any remaining issue to solve them.
