Games affected by this change: Mario Smash Football, Mario Strikers Charged Football, Monster Hunter Tri.
Other games possibly affected: Shaun White Snowboarding, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Baten Kaitos.
This implementation will decrease performance if the game uses this feature, but the glitches will be gone. I'll add an option for this in a later commit. EFB pokes are somewhat slow in DX11 right now, speed should be okayish in DX9 though.
Other changes:
- SOMEWHAT cleaned up the EFB access code in DX9
- Fixed incompatible parameter list of AccessEFB and TVideo_AccessEFB.
- Fixed a theoretical bug in ReplaceRGBATexture2D, add support for STAGING textures
- Removed unused parameters in various DX9 functions

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.

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.

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.

fixed fps display in the top bar, now it shows the real fps of the game.
some code clean up and some corrections to make everything work right in the reference renderer.
multiples xfb now is broken even in single core as is was not an error caused by dual core, i really dono where the error is,everything looks correct but if you test a game with multiples xfb or the ipl you will see the error.
ector if you can take a look at he code and throw me some ideas i'll thank you.
please test.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5272 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
the problem is one strange behavior i found, in opengl when xfb is enable, frame limit causes the frame rate to be limited exact half the correct speed, so if you choose auto and the game uses 30 fps you get 15 fps
so in opengl, you have to limit to the exact double of the game speed, 100 to pal games and 120 to ntsc.
in d3d this not happened every time, it just happen when you change some time consuming setting like changing the ssaa or resizing the window, in that case you have to disable and re enable frame limit to get the correct fps
to all the devs please if you can help me debug this, will give you a lot of thanks as i'm short in time to debug this error and is driving me crazy not to find the source of the problem.

applied mlkbouba patch to make Mario Strikers Charged Football work (i do not own the game so please test).
some minor tweaks to the plugins to improve performance. for game that do not use xfb the best settings are dual core enabled, audio throtle disabled, frame limit set to the desired value, and xfb off.
change the frameskip calculations to use fps instead of vps as in dual core vps != fps caused by unresolved sync problems, till this problems are fixed the best for game play is calculate times in base of fps.
please test and let me know the results

implemented donko's xfb in D3D:
the bad things:
*is solower in some cases, slower as opengl
*it do not work in dual core mode, it seems direct3d has serious synchronization problems, to the other devs please if you can take a look and help me :)
*real xfb still not working i have to give it more time to make it work.
the good:
*games that uses multiples xfbs will work now using the virtual XFB.
*implemented a more hardware like approach to scaling, now to calculate the pixel scaling i use the xfb size not the efb so the screen pixels relation is more correct now.
*simplified a little donko's virtual xfb to make it less memory consuming as xfb textures are the exact size of the scaled xfb and not full target width.
* when it works even real xfb will let us use super sampling.
I repeat this commit is totally unstable and in dual core mode it will for sure hang the emulator or at best give totally incorrect results.
Other devs please help as thread sync is not one of my strong points :)
i'll keep waiting for the comments an the -1 :)

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.

true antialiasing using supersampling:
3 modes implemented:
2x = is a one and a half samples supersampled buffer with a linear texture fetch, this produce a similar result of a 2x MSAA
4x = four samples with a aligned texture fetch in the center of the 4 samples, this produce a little best effect that the first mode.
8x = is a four samples with a rotated grid fetching producing a nicer (really nicer in some cases) antialiasing.
please test an let me know if you like this :)
i remember to everyone that supersampling is expensive so don't complain in speed drops :)

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.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5001 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
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.

in opengl correct an error introduced by mi in efb to ram alignment, it's seems to fix SMS but it missalign a lot of other games, so revert to the default. must solve truncated coins in NSMB.
revert alpha testing values to the values in rev 4812 as they fix some games.
in d3d dynamized the Render target size so it will change at runtime when viewport exceed it size, in the worse case it will cause a missing frame when resizing but in the games I tested is not noticeable at all
This must solve all the remaining viewports problems in nvidia cards, in ati this is not needed.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4888 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
in videocommon little fix for the alpha test values, return to the original values as they are more accurate.
in D3D:
huge change in state management, now all the state management is centralized and redundant state changes are eliminated.
Fixed the overlapped viewport error in non ati cards:
the error was caused by this: when a viewport is defined larger than the current rendertarget, an error is thrown and the last valid viewport is used, this is the reference behavior, in ati cards if a larger viewport is defined, no eror is returned, the rendering is valid and is rendered using the projection defined by the viewport but limited to the rendertarget are, exactly like opengl or the GC hardware.
to solve this in reference drivers defined a large rendertarget (2x the size of the original) and proceed to render in a centered quad insithe the larger rendertarget, in this way larger viewports always falls inside a valid rendertarget size, the drawback of this is the waste of resources. it can be dynamized, depending or games or changed at runtime when a oversized viewport is detected, but i live that to future commits.
please test this and let me know the results.

Now the frame limiter yields on CPU thread, not as before on GPU thread mistakenly
2. Fixed clear of VI interrupts
I guess VI interrupts are not used at all, because they were never cleared before
3. Made GPU thread 0% processor usage when paused whatever your active config is.
I tried the event approach but somehow the thread resume latency is excessively long (Who can tell me why?)

in D3D and Opengl:
fixed one nasty bug in texture loading where if a dynamic texture keeps his format but the tlut format is changed, the try or reloading the texture in the same texture could cause a hang if the size of the resulting texture is different than the original (size in bytes)
Applied a ugly temporal hack to the texture conversor to solve efb to ram misalignments and effect distortions.
in D3D:
Pseudo implementation of logic ops using basic blending: the first 8 operations are "good approximations", the remaining 8 are bullshit :) if someone have a better approximation to emulate this logic please let me know.
please test if i don't break anything in the process and test Mario kart wee you will get a nice surprise.:)

Also reimplemented screen clearing as a color quad to support alpha blending when clearing as in the original hardware.
the funny thing is how is implemented peeking, as locking depth textures is not supported, implemented peeking copying the values form the depth texture to a r32f render target and then reading back the data.

first part if fixing, fixed, i thing, the flickering that everyone has reported, at least in my case i only have flickering in the one texture in one game and now is fixed. The other fix is not for an reported issue, is more a correctness fix, running dolphin with pix to review debug errors, result in a ton of warnings and error, now with this commit, at least for ati, there no more error or warnings, this means, correct management and state change, no accurate emulation, for this still a lot of work to do.
for this part of the commit please give me feedback and let me know of remaining issues
Te second part is the partial implementation of efb to ram copy in d3d, this won't brake anything because is commented but i commit this to ask for help from ector and donko in some errors remaining in the implementation related to differences between opengl an d3d.
if you want to test this you have to uncomment line 150 to 155 of bpstruct.cpp

corrected a little depth textures still broken but now at least i discover the reason, the ultra bad news for d3d lover is, the only correct way to implement depth textures will be do a firs depth only pass disabling blending.
This is because blending is affecting the values stored in the depth texture, so to store the true values, blending mus be deactivated.
this will degrade performance but is the only "Correct" way in d3d 9. the other possibility is dx10 but that's a complete different story ;)

d3d: remove the depth texture path it will not work so for now only lockable textures were available. i thing the only way will be a use a secondary render target and do a depth pass to mimic depth textures.
opengl: minor cleanup here and there and a possible fix to issue 1509, but not tested because in my system the errors remarked in the issue don't show.
commond: code reorganization an optimization in the pixel shader generator, trying to understand the tev stages, make some changes to make the generator faster (not much only started for the alpha test and fog).
this changes try start solving the diferences bethen the hardware plugins and the soft plugin.
i hope with i don't brake nothing but please test this a lot.

they are extremely hard/driver Dependant so your test is needed.
there plugin will automatically select the path thats work for your hard, need that everyone post the messages that the video init throw (yes all will hate me for the messages) but is the only way to see what is the optimal path. in the next commit will clean the unused paths.
i'm afraid thath the second path is Vista dependant (you need to include vista sdk to make it work).
the third path use lockable depth buffer so there is no change in that.
now peek color is fully working and is fast because the you never lock the the real color texture only the offscreen surface.
please if someone knows a game that use peek color please test it.
also fixed blending so SMS underwater must be fixed.
this work with d3d teach me that i love opengl :)

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.

Debugger panel is displayed only if Dolphin is started with /d option.
Dump features are not implemented.
Pause/Resume buttons works, only if the plugin is built in DEBUG or DEBUGFAST configuration, not in RELEASE. These features are really only for devs, not for regular gamers.
You will be able to pause frame by frame, or by n frames, or by n primitive flushes. Other pausing options are not implemented yet.
When other pausing and dumping features are implemented, debugging will be much easier.
I have changed the DX9 project setting to use unicode character set in order to use wxWidge tools. If this causes Dolphin building problems for you, check your project setting.txt
