Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado 6b1ca64428 experimental commit: simplify even more the params. please test and if theres something wrong will revert asap
thanks for the comments in the prev commit they make my re think the approach.

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.

Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado e98a273b54 fixes for my last commit:
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.

Rodolfo Osvaldo Bogado 9e2bbec47f a lot of modifications here :)
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.

Core:
bLockThreads = false
m_EXIDevice[2] = EXIDEVICE_NONE
Video:
bKeepAR43 = true
iMaxAnisotropy = 1
bCopyEFBToRAM = true
Trying to find good high compatibility settings for default setup.
