OSX has their own driver, so performance issues aren't shared with the nvidia driver (unlike the closed source linux and windows nvidia driver). So now they'll also use the MapAndSync backend like all other osx drivers.
fixes issue 6596
I've also cleaned up the if/else block selecting the best backend a bit.
The new chapter title in Paper Mario TTYD had a small graphical bug due to the new code because it read one extra pixel, this fixes it.
I hope this gets everything, I though I had checked most bugs and yet here I am, commit-spamming...
Fixes some remaining bbox related bugs in Mickey's Magical Mirror and a slight graphical glitch in Paper Mario: TTYD when flipping and Vivian as your companion (I've been scratching my head for days to find this one).
Instead of being vertex-based, it is now primitive (point, line or dissected triangle) based, with proper clipping.
Also, screen position is now calculated based on viewport values, instead of "guesstimating".
This fixes many graphical glitches in Paper Mario: TTYD and Super Paper Mario.
Also, the new code allows Mickey's Magical Mirror and Disney's Hide & Sneak to work (mostly) bug-free. I changed their inis to use bbox.
These changes have a slight cost in performance when bbox is being used (rare), mostly due to the new clipping algorithm.
Please check for any regressions or crashes.
The only two devices that do this are Mesa software rasterizer and Intel Ironlake(With a few hacks).
Basically since it doesn't support OpenGL 3.0, it can't grab the version the new way.
So failing that, it sets to GL 2.1, and continues.
Further along, on Ironlake at least, it tries grabbing the extensions the new GL 3.0 way and fails.
So have a fallback that grabs the extensions string the old way, in probably the most elegant way possible.
This branch drops our temporary buffer in VertexLoaderBase.
Instead, every backend now must provide a buffer to convert vertices and indices.
D3D just uses a temporary buffer like before.
OGL maps the gpu based buffer and stream to them directly.
So this will avoid an unneeded memcpy on OGL backend.
The old way was to use big switch/case statements based on a type of buffer.
The new one is to use inheritance.
This change prohibits us to change the buffer type while running, but I doubt we'll ever do so.
Performance should also be a bit better. Also a nice cleanup.
Added some comments about this different kind of buffers.
This is a bit slower on map_and_* because of flushing and _very_ much slower on buffer(sub)?data because of a new memcpy.
But this design allow us to decode directly into a gpu buffer, eg vertexloader will profit :)
gl.h and glext.h provide most of the function pointer typedefs and defines for extensions and core features.
The only one it doesn't provide is GL 1.1 function typedefs, but this is to be expected.
If anything needs defines or typedefs in their header in the future, that's as easy as before.
Prior to this commit it was possible to assign the same keycode to more than one button.
ie. Say I assigned Open with the hotkey Ctrl+O; well, it was possible to also add it to another function as well, which leads to hotkey clashing.
Now, say I assign Open with Ctrl+O, but then assign that same hotkey to Refresh List; it will unbind the hotkey from Open and then assign it to refresh list.
This one was introduced to reduce the glBindTexture and glActiveTexture calls. But it was quite a bit of logic and only an improvment on uploading/creating a texture, which is done rarely.
This adds xfb support to the videosoftware backend, which increases it's
accuracy and more imporantly, enables the usage of many homebrew apps
which write directly to the xfb on the videosoftware backend.

I give up. Merging the ppc_fp branch has caused issues in numerous games
and I can't find the bug. I'm leaving this merged to enable easy
recompilation for people who would like to play games that benefit from
non-IEEE mode emulation (e.g. Starfox Assault).
