Really that happens because the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative.
Example: CPReadWriteDistance: -864 CPEnd: 10092672 fifo.CPBase: 9568416
In SMG this is because PI_FIFO_RESET is writing and after fifo.CPReadWriteDistance will be setted to 0.
To Prevent that, I've Implemented AbortFrame function in the CommmandProcessor. It should fix overflown because of that.
Note: There is other issue (Issue 2846) where the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative too but the effect is different.
I'm working to solve this.

(those originating from a thread other than the gpu thread)
glxMakeCurrent is supposed to error out when the context is
still current in another thread. NVIDIA handles that, but mesa3d errors.

Also added a DSPCORE_STOP state. The DSP-LLE debugger window segmentation faults if it is openned when a game is not running.

using it as a constant in several places. Saves a few bytes and the time
it takes to recompile a bunch of files whenever svnversion twitches.
Using the SVN version string as an integer is not portable as the Unix
svnversion always includes e.g. the "M" suffix for a modified tree.
Windows people, please check my change to Plugin_VideoDX9/Src/main.cpp
as I don't really understand how _T() and the %hs format string work.

return to the old values in constants in pixelshader, the old values give mi 3 or 4 fps more,(maybe some kind of compiler optimization) in some games and with the current algorithm i notice no difference with this values, please report any problem.
optimizes SSAA to make it a little faster and, the quality should be the same but with a little speedup.
change the way the frame is processed depending is xfb is enabled or not to make this a little faster.
please test and report any problem

1 - Optimize pixelshadergen to avoid redundant register overflow math, with this if a game don't need this will be not applied.
this must bring some fill rate back and improve speed a little in fill rate limited systems.
2- some corrections to vertexshadergen to avoid uninitialized texture coordinates, dono if is the correct way to fix it but t least it will make house of the dead overkill playable in dx11.
the bad thing: still missing geometri in dx9, in dx11 it works exactly as on opengl.
3 - some optimization made to improve fps a little wih the latests changes made to fifo.
* back to the original code in beginfield as now it will work right.
* check for efb access more often as a lot of time is lost waiting for efb access
4 - apply a little fix for missing textures in nvidia opengl tanks to Wagnard28 for finding that nvidia does not like invalid shader id :)
please test for any regression

Dual Core sync fix.
When the FIFO is processing data we must not advance the cpu cycles in CoreTiming because in this way the VI will be desynchronized. So, We are waiting until the FIFO finish and while we process only the events required by the FIFO.
This should fix Issue 2072 .
This affect to all games in dual core mode.
Please, You can test all games with VPS limiter auto, 60, 50 depending of the game and compare with prev revision.
For example now NSMB in the video Intro has 60 fps (prev 30 fps) :D or SMG does't need anymore FPS Limitter Hack to get 55-60 fps
Beside the slowdowns now are more softly and the fps more stables because the VI sync is almost perfect.
The Core Timing and Fifo modifications are delicated. Please report if this hang any game. Don't forget check with prev revision.
Enjoy it! Thanks to Rodolfo for teach me all about dolphin.

Remove superfluous _WIN32 checks in DX11 and DX9. Meant to port that code over to Linux or what? :P
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5738 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
fixed screen clearing and simplify drawClearQuad a little
put some nice code from dx11 that i like in dx9.
modify plugin spec preparing for implementing efb poke (is not used often but is a missing functionality so..)
please test.

- be more strict with the input signature of generated pixel shaders
- replace the D3D parameter with an API_TYPE one, so that we can further distinguish between DX9 and DX11
- for what it's worth dx11 (using vs_4_0) doesn't support D3DCOLORtoUBYTE4; added a workaround for this
- add a "dx9-" prefix to the shader cache files to avoid conflicts with dx11 shaders
Apart from that we're calling CommandProcessor::Shutdown() in main.cpp,Shutdown() now.
Delete all files in User/ShaderCache if you want to save a few KB disk space :P

Also added a window size setting for windowed mode.
Also pulled some X11 specific code out into a separate file.

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 :)

Basic usage: "sudo scons install=global install"
Hopefully this doesn't break builds on Macs. I have tested this on linux and windows.

rewrite frame dumping and screen shots to make them more stable and correct
enable viewport resizing for all cards, the emulation is more correct in this way
test this a lot please.

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?)

All you gotta do is Pause the emulation! That's useful for when your batteries run out during gameplay, for example...
But if you change the WiiMote source (between Emulated, Real or Inactive) you must disconnect and reconnect (Menu Tools -> Connect WiiMote) the WiiMotes affected by the change...
Thanks to jack.fr0st who did all the emulation state notification work!
Now every plugin has a way to know the current emulation state (paused, stopped or playing)
@ayuanx: I thought about doing a PostMessage(g_WiimoteInitialize.hWnd, WM_USER, WIIMOTE_DISCONNECT, current_number); so that the user gets asked to reconnect that WiiMote, trying to avoid having to disconnect and reconnect, but it didn't work because shooting that message only asks to reconnect, doesn't do a disconnect... Do you have any ideas on how to accomplish that?
Also, if anyone could check if Issue 1916 is finally fixed... Or at least when is the cursor being hidden or not...

Unbreak linux stop on Single Core, remove an unnecessary wait event, fix DSP HLE/DSP LLE/OGL plugin hang on stop when the config dialog has been opened (nJoy and Wiimote still need to be fixed), avoid the CpuThread to be stuck in the efb/swap loop by setting a flag before the thread is actually shutdown (contrary to r4756 which was setting it.. after :D)
Clear the status bar Framerate/Core message when the game is stopped.
