- Clear alpha channel to 0xFF instead of 0x00 whenever we (re-)create the EFB texture
- Disable color/alpha channels whenever the actual EFB format doesn't use them
Fixes issue 2826.

skid_au had implemented this in a previous revision and enabled it by default, but it caused glitches if STC wasn't set to "safe" (which kinda defeated the purpose since it slowed down stuff again).
Also renamed the "safe texture cache" to "accurate texture cache", since setting the "safe" texture cache to "safe" sounds kind of silly..

- Improved the GP Register Status: now this is all the time from the fifo loop.
- Improved the Interrupts manage:
1) Removed All UpdateInturrupts from CommandProcessor Writes and Read.
2) now the CP interrupts are schedule from the video thread and the fifo loop waiting until this happens
3) considering Inmediate mode for the CP interrupts
3) Implemented Interrupt CP Cache State
4) Implemented only Overflow interrupt in GatherPipeCheck because this need to be detected quickly.
- Implemented Overflow handling like a real HW, when Hiwatermark interrupt happens this write ClearRegister with True en HI and False in LO (FifoIntReset) after that a Control Register is writed and the FIFO is processed to LO Watermark.
- Removed all ugly code from LO and HI watermark manage
- Removed all ugly code from BP manage
- Change >= by == in the BP clauses
- Removed speed hack (1024 chunk) for better GP Status Control.
- Commented GXSetGPFifo very soon hack
- Commented FackWatchDog hack
- Commented FIFO_RW_DISTANCE = WritePointer hack
This is the beginning and the base for the future., If this broke your favorite game my apologize, only report this and will try solve it. If you have a Overflown don't worry, I've implemented the real solution code using the Overflow Interruption only need continue working for a perfect protection. Why I did it?

Most of the code dealing with the LogTypes namespace was C which lead to a
lot of nonsensical casting, so I have dumbed LOG_TYPE and LOG_LEVEL down to
plain C even though the move of wiiuse into Source means we don't currently
call GenericLog from C.
Set logging threshold to MAX_LOGLEVEL at startup so debug builds will also
p rint debugging messages before the GUI is running.
For some reason the way we use SetDefaultStyle doesn't play nice with wx 2.9
so we just get the default black text on a black background. Using a gray
background works around that problem, but I found it to also be much easier
on the eyes so I have switched the background color on all versions.

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.

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.

The GCC model for extended instructions like these is that you compile
with -msse3 etc. These affect code generation for whole compilation units,
so the idea is that you have a separate .c file for each instruction set
class and then indirect to the desired one at runtime.
Without e.g. -msse4.1, the GCC built-ins used by <foointrin.h> are not
available. However, in our specific case of compiling with -msse2 and
wanting to use SSE3.1 code, enough built-ins are available that we only
need to provide a little hack for pshufb.
Upgrading this to also use SSE4.1 instructions doesn't appear feasible
without a lot of undesirable duplication of GCC built-in functions and
headers, so we'd probably have to move to the GCC model of separate
source files for that.

Because we only ever call Pos_ReadDirect (and through that, DataRead<T>)
from JIT generated code, the compiler may not get the heads-up to properly
prepare for run-time instantiation of those template functions.
Explicitly instantiating Pos_ReadDirect gets around that issue.
Also force DataRead* inline as gcc didn't always do that itself when the
DataRead functions in turn were called from (other) template functions.

- 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.
please test for regression and enjoy.

fix frame dumping and screenshots in d3d9 and opengl
some improvements to the new efb to ram
please test to see if the issues introduced by the new efb to ram are solved by this commit
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5862 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
replace efb to ram implementation by a hybrid approach.
explanation:
when copying from efb to texture, instead of make a copy to a texture or to the ram, copy the data to both, in hi quality to the texture and in native quality to the ram.
then instead of re-decoding the data from ram (very slow) use the data in the texture.
to improve this even more, test if the cpu has modified the data in the ram copy, if so, update the texture in memory and mark it as dynamic to avoid redundant work in future frames.
having all this implemented this is what is archived:
sms: full quality with scaled efb copies and fully functional goop cleaning :)
ztp: efb to texture speed with full map support.
nsmbw: this is a hard to emulate game, as it make a lot of shading and texture modification in cpu. it only have 35 fps in my system with new efb to ram but is 10 fps faster than normal efb to ram.
this game also show me another unimplemented feature, copy efb to multiple textures at the same time (is used to animate coins and other things in the world).
this is a remaining todo in efb to texture.
a lot of games should improve, so please test and let me know any regresion caused by this commit.
if everyone likes this the next step is, implement efb to multilpe textures and merge efb to ram and efb to texture.
then port to the other plugins.
enjoy.

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

1 - Optimize pixelshadergen to avoid redundant register overflow math, with this if a game don't need this will be not applied.
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.
3 - some optimization made to improve fps a little wih the latests changes made to fifo.
* back to the original code in beginfield as now it will work right.
* check for efb access more often as a lot of time is lost waiting for efb access
4 - apply a little fix for missing textures in nvidia opengl tanks to Wagnard28 for finding that nvidia does not like invalid shader id :)
please test for any regression

If compilation fails, rebuild the whole solution as Visual Studio struggles with the not so complex project dependencies.
ATI users still need to install the Stream SDK as it's the only way to have an OpenCL driver.
NVidia users just have to install a recent driver (version 197 is tested and working).

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.

- 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

Fix: fix for lighting equations , that must improve lighting in a lot of games ( test smg :) )
experimental speedup: implemented alpha pass using stencil buffer instead of a duplicate shader. i recommend to test this well as i dono if will work the same way in all the systems. i my system it gives a nice 2-5 fps improvement. if it brings problems in any system or game will revert asap.

efb scale :
auto fractional: the original scaling way, will grant a 1:1 pixel mapping between efb and screen giving the best image quality even in non standard resolutions
at the cost of glitches in some games.
auto integral: automatic but only int values for the scale, no glitches but only the correct pixel scaling when using some resolutions.
the rest are the fixed scales.

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.

This should give the exact same shader code except for the cases of
SELA == SELB and SELC == 1, the latter only for the color combinder.
In these two cases the results of the shader should not change in any way.
It would have been possible to optimize the SELC == HALF case too, if
the actual factor had been 0.5f instead of 0.4980392f.

The real hardware probably always sends the result of its computations
to the alpha test/fog units, in parallel to its registers, but those
only take the result of the last texenv stage.
This makes grass show up in ZTP, where the last texenv stage oddly writes to
reg #3 instead of #0.

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.

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.

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.
