So to compensate lets bring back some speed to the emulation.
change a little the way the vertex are send to the gpu,
This first implementation changes dx9 a lot and dx11 a little to increase the parallelism between the cpu and gpu.
ogl: is my next step in ogl is a little more trickier so i have to take a little more time.
the original concept is Marcos idea, with my little touch to make it even more faster.
what to look for: SPEEEEEDDD :).
please test it a lot and let me know if you see any problem.
in dx9 the code is prepared to fall back to the previous implementation if your card does not support the amount of buffers needed.
So if you did not experience any speed gains you know where is the problem :).
for the ones with more experience and compression of the code please test changing the amount and size of the buffers to tune this for your specific machine.
The current values are the sweet spot for my machine.
All must Thanks Marcos, I hate him for giving good ideas when I'm full of work.
PS and VS making. Untested and won't work for now.
Add in program shader cache files.
Readd NativeVertexFormat stuffs.
Add in PS and VS cache things.
SetShaders in places.
Fixed EFB cache index computations in OpenGL renderer.
The previous computation was very likely to go out of array bounds,
which could result in crashes on EFB access.
Also, the cache size was rounded down instead of up. This is a problem
since EFB_HEIGHT (528) is not a multiple of EFB_CACHE_RECT_SIZE (64).
Reason:
- It's wrong, zcomploc can't be emulated perfectly in HW backends without severely impacting performance.
- It provides virtually no advantages over the previous hack while introducing lots of code.
- There is a better alternative: If people insist on having some sort of valid zcomploc emulation, I suggest rendering each primitive separately while using a _clean_ dual-pass approach to emulate zcomploc.

This reverts commit 146b02615c.
Most of the games using EFB peeks are suffering from major performance problems
when these peeks are not disabled in the graphics settings. This is an attempt
to fix this in the GL renderer by doing the glReadPixels in bulk: instead of
doing a lot of 1x1 pixel reads, read for 64x64 pixels at once and keep that in
a cache.
Deck menu in Baten Kaitos: 3FPS -> 54FPS
Character creation in Monster Hunter Tri: 7FPS -> 60FPS
Profiler.{cpp,h} also happened to be the only dupliated
filenames left in Source, the absence of which should make
link-time optimization easier to get working.

Separated UI from debugger functionality. Generally cleaned up that stuff.
Most functionality needs to be reimplemented now, but will be available to D3D9, D3D11 as well as OpenGL then.

Now, there are two:
Real dimensions: Width and height of the original GameCube texture
Virtual dimensions: Width and height of the texture used by dolphin-emu's renderer
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@6291 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
Renamed EFB Scale to Internal Resolution.
Removed Auto Scale option (it is now always on).
Added on-the-fly changing of the Internal Resolution in the OpenGL and Direct3D9 plug-ins.
Further consolidated the code in the video plug-ins.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@6240 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
First step to bring a level of consistency between the video plug-ins - variable names, spacing, function names, function order, comments, file names. This will help us identify common code for VideoMerge.

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.

It no longer uses the TEXTURE_RECTANGLE extension for GameCube textures. Since GameCube always uses normalized texture coordinates, it's an unnecessary burden.
Please test hi-res textures.
Wow, it's been a while.

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.

(those originating from a thread other than the gpu thread)
glxMakeCurrent is supposed to error out when the context is
still current in another thread. NVIDIA handles that, but mesa3d errors.

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
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

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 :)
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5465 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
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
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5432 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
Basic usage: "sudo scons install=global install"
Hopefully this doesn't break builds on Macs. I have tested this on linux and windows.

if a degenerated primitive is passed to the VertexManager treat it as a compatible primitive, for example if a 5 vertex quad is passed treat it as a triangle fan.
as crazy at this seems it fix the sun glare in ZWW, please test an d let me know if it make a difference in other games
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4931 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 :).

Not really anything interesting, just some better comments, some slightly more portable/cleaner code in places.
