Sorry for a direct commit to the main branch but i need fast feedback, and i don't want to leave problematic code in the main branch for a long time.
if this approach does not work for the drivers with problems will transform dual source blend to an option in the D3D9 backend.
I appreciate the help of the people that tested my last commit and thanks to neobrain for pointing this solution.
this implementation does not work in windows xp (sorry no support for dual source blending there).
this should improve speed on older hardware or in newer hardware using super sampling.
disable partial fix for 4x supersampling as I'm interested in knowing the original issue with the implementation to fix it correctly.
remove the deprecation label from the plugin while I'm working on it.
So to compensate lets bring back some speed to the emulation.
change a little the way the vertex are send to the gpu,
This first implementation changes dx9 a lot and dx11 a little to increase the parallelism between the cpu and gpu.
ogl: is my next step in ogl is a little more trickier so i have to take a little more time.
the original concept is Marcos idea, with my little touch to make it even more faster.
what to look for: SPEEEEEDDD :).
please test it a lot and let me know if you see any problem.
in dx9 the code is prepared to fall back to the previous implementation if your card does not support the amount of buffers needed.
So if you did not experience any speed gains you know where is the problem :).
for the ones with more experience and compression of the code please test changing the amount and size of the buffers to tune this for your specific machine.
The current values are the sweet spot for my machine.
All must Thanks Marcos, I hate him for giving good ideas when I'm full of work.
PS and VS making. Untested and won't work for now.
Add in program shader cache files.
Readd NativeVertexFormat stuffs.
Add in PS and VS cache things.
SetShaders in places.
Fixed EFB cache index computations in OpenGL renderer.
The previous computation was very likely to go out of array bounds,
which could result in crashes on EFB access.
Also, the cache size was rounded down instead of up. This is a problem
since EFB_HEIGHT (528) is not a multiple of EFB_CACHE_RECT_SIZE (64).
Super Mario Sunshine is using a cool trick: To determine how much goop has been cleaned in ep. 6 of Sirena Beach, it counts the number of pixels that are input to the blending stage. For that it's using the PE performance registers ;)
Fixes issue 1498.
- Removed recent ghanges about separate per-game Video Settings
- Added "One Window 3-State Support" (very close to full implementation)

video backends.
This would be considerably easier if there was a way for me to have
fully working video in some sort of VM. If anyone has achieved that,
preferably with Linux but failing that with Windows, I would
appreciate any tips on how to set it up. VideoSoftware used to more
or less work in a VM, but I've never been able to get OpenGL to do
much more than open the window and display OSD messages.

in Initialize() and Video_Prepare(). Video_Prepare()
then becomes the entry point for associating the current
thread with the rendering context, which is currently
only known to be necessary for OpenGL.

- dislocating all sensible stuff related to "values per game/pattern" outside the sourcecode.
- giving more control to end-users across the user-friendly interface.
- deleting/cleaning some dead variables.
- updating all gameconfig.ini data to reflect new PHack concept (pending upload).
* Updated Italian translation
- Includes corrections, a better strings translating and suggestions directly by Google Code's people.

Initialize locale in each of the plugins on windows so that the plugin configuration dialogs are translated and the translators will get off my back.
