NeoBrainX a271bb8182 Implement pixel data reinterpretation on EFB format change.
Whatever that means, it fixes that stupid Super Mario Sunshine glitch and possibly lots of other stuff, so test as many glitchy games as possible with this ;)

NeoBrainX 60ed57b32a Add an option to toggle caching EFB->RAM copies.
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..

NeoBrainX ee21237d6a Polish, fix and otherwise improve the video plugin configuration dialog:
- Add some info about a backend's feature set (MSAA, Real XFB, EFB to RAM, ..) to VideoConfig
- Gray out options if they aren't supported by the backend or if changing them doesn't affect anything (e.g. changing STC mode if STC is disabled)
- Allow signed bytes for D3D11. Not sure if this causes glitches, but it should work
- Call wxEvent.Skip() in the event function handlers, not sure if this fixes any bugs but the old code definitely caused bugs during development of this patch
- Fix a memory leak in the configuration dialog if D3D11 is used
- Other minor stuff that doesn't need to be mentioned or which I forgot

Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado e641323de2 i know still a lot to fix and much work to do but sometimes experiments are fun :)
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.

NeoBrainX d5d7beb6c7 Move the ZTP hack to the game properties (reverted all changes from r6057 to the video plugins) due to some obvious reasons. Also some fixes to the coding style.
Remove a member variable which I introduced in r5907 although it never actually got used. Restores binary compatibility (at least in that regard) to pre-r5907 video plugins, but breaks any binaries after that :P

Update FIFO watermark tightness recommendations. 1000 is quite a high value I guess, but some people seem to need it.

Fircrestsk8 040a6e1eb3 This commit addresses the Hyrule field slowdown issue in Zelda: Twilight Princess, as discussed in Xtreme2damax's thread: http://forums.dolphin-emu.com/thread-10638.html. It can be activated in the DX9, DX11, and OpenGL plugin GUI's. Enabling the hack while playing other games besides ZTP will likely have either an undesirable or no(more likely) effect.
The code changes disable the usual pipeline flush for certain BP Writes that occur while the minimap is being drawn in Zelda: twilight princess. This significantly increases speed while in hyrule field. The way this is accomplished is described more in depth on page 42 of Xtreme's thread. Big thanks to Xtreme for doing a great job hosting that thread, and Kiesel-stein for initial work on the hack

Also, I used the resource editor in Visual studio to generate the GUI code for the DX11 plugin, and some code appeared to be removed, although the behavior of the GUI did not seem to change. Hopefully someone more experienced with resource files (forms?) can double check that no code was damaged

NeoBrainX 378d3aaa52 Make FIFO watermark tightness configurable instead of hardcoding it.
To change it, right click the affected game in the iso list, select Properties, and enter some constant for "Watermark tightness". Reasonable values range from 20 to 200.

FIFO seems unoverflowable on my computer no matter what I set this value to, so test whether tuning the value helps you ;P

Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado f78133f261 big changes here:
- 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.
please test for regression and enjoy.

Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado 539f63b58b ok, here goes a really experimental commit:
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.

Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado 9d792d4673 added ssaa and efb scale as separate configurations:
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.
enjoy.

hrydgard a3c96ac42c Warp back to 5578. Sorry for the lost changes, please re-apply. Reason: 5579 is a complete disaster.
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.

Glenn Rice 140332c02e Move fullscreen display resolution control to the GUI with the rest of the fullscreen toggling code. This removes redundancy of code that was in several places through the various video plugins. Unfortunately it means the fullscreen resolution setting also had to be moved to the main configuration dialog. I am sure that will meet some resistance.
Also added a window size setting for windowed mode.

Also pulled some X11 specific code out into a separate file.

Glenn Rice 33a64d5db0 Big restructuring of how the video plugin works. In linux and windows you shouldn't see a change in the functionality; however, there are changes in how render to main or not, and fullscreen modes, and such are handled. Input is largely restructured for the video plugin. It is now handled by the host. Keys for pausing and changing fullscreen are configurable. More will probably be later. This is probably classified as highly experimental.

donkopunchstania 70627c5652 Extend the OGL virtual XFB to handle games that use multiple XFBs to make a frame. This should allow games that require the XFB to work without using a real XFB in RAM which is slow and limited to the original resolution. To use this enhancement you must check Use XFB in the options. The previous option was renamed Use Real XFB. I don't think this works with the aspect settings yet.

Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado 02189ec5e0 Simplify the params for the safe texture cache
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.

Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado 3cc5d8ce6f First a bugfix:
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.

first fixed scaling when updating backbuffer to make it friendly with encoders, now frame dumping must work without errors in any codec.
clean screenshot and frame dumping code now is more correct, faster and stable.
improve safe texture cache, improving the distribution of the hash algorithm, including tlut hash in the final hash of the texture, and making use of a 64 bit hash to make it more accurate.
clean a lot of code and corrected some missused vertex formats when drawing full screen quads.
and biggest change last:
implemented pseudo antialiasing: a image post-process algorithm that mimics antialiazing and is fare more easier to implement in this scenario.
you can change the intensity of the effect changing the values of the antialiasing combo. the right value depends on the game.
for example mkwii looks awesome with 8x.
please try all the changes and let me know the results.
if something is broken, please let me know and will fix it asap.

Glenn Rice feba09f7a3 Linux global build. At least the basic footwork is done here.
Basic usage:  "sudo scons install=global install"
Hopefully this doesn't break builds on Macs.  I have tested this on linux and windows.

skidau 35b6e71f03 Experimental FIFO thread. Speeds up the emulator by moving FIFO to its own thread. This will work best with quad cores, though there is a noticeable improvement on my dual core.
Enable the thread by adding this line to the video plugin ini files, "User\Config\gfx_dx9.ini" and "User\Config\gfx_opengl.ini":

UseFIFOThread = True

The line should be added under the UseXFB line.

To disable the FIFO thread, use this line:

UseFIFOThread = False

If the line is not in the ini file, the default is disabled (i.e. False).

The FIFO thread causes an error when the OpenGL plugin is used.  The D3D plugin works.

Only top left quarter of the screen can be seen when rendering to main window.  The entire screen can be viewed when running in a window.

hrydgard 2db709aeb6 Add "Auto Aspect Ratio" to both graphics plugins. It's the new default, so you can forget about switching aspect manually from now on. In the Auto mode, aspect ratio is automatically set depending on whether it's a Wii or GC game, and whether the global Wii Widescreen setting has been set. There is still the possibility to override, which can be useful for the very few GC games that do support widescreen.

Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado 9c930f0825 nice little hack to make efb copies scaled with the efb so everything will look a more HD, for now there is no GUI i'm with a lot of work at home. if everyone likes this change will add it to the GUI. for now just use the config file.
it brakes sms goop so in that game avoid this . test and let me know.
