This option was known to break every second game and only boost a bit.
It also seems to be broken because of streaming into pinned memory and buffer storage buffers.
v2: also remove dlc_desc
We are used to render them out of order as long as everything else matches, but rendering order does matter, so we have to flush on primitive switch. This commit implements this flush.
Also as we flush on primitive switch, we don't have to create three different index buffers. All indices are now stored in one buffer.
This will slow down games which switch often primitive types (eg ztp), but it should be more accurate.
This "u32 components" is a list of flags which attributes of the vertex loader are present.
We are used to append this variable to lots of vertex generation functions, but some of them don't need it at all.
The usual way to handle this kind of request is to rise a flag which the gpu thread polls.
The gpu thread itself either generates the result or just write zeros if disabled.
After this, it rise another flag which says that this work is done.
So if disabled, we still have the cpu-gpu round trip time. This commit just returns 0 on the cpu thread
instead of playing ping pong...
Now OGL doesn't rely on WX for PNG saving.
FlipImageData supports (pixel data len > 3) now.
TextureToPng is now in ImageWrite.cpp/h
Video Common depends on zlib and png.
D3D no longer depends on zlib and png.
Revert "Actually, filename really does need to be a parameter because of some random debug thing."
Revert "fix non-HAVE_WX case"
Revert "Handle screenshot saving in RenderBase. Removes dependency on D3DX11 for screenshots (texture dumping is still broken)."
This reverts commits 00fe5057f1, 74b5fb3ab4, cd46138d29 and 5f72542e06 because taking screenshots in D3D still crashed for me so there was no point in the code changes (which I found ugly anyway).
The Dolphin development team is incapable of providing sufficient replacement for its previous usage in Dolphin and the advantages of dropping the dependency do not justify the removal of screenshots and texture dumping.
From now on, d3dx11.h, d3dx11async.h, d3dx11core.h and d3dx11tex.h are required to be stored somewhere in the header include path. I don't know if this is the case for anyone else than me, but I can't really say that I care after having people randomly merge unfinished branches into master.
