Cutie Chinese comments, they were removed in commit
21522e71b2
It's better to have google translated comments than nothing, at least we
have something to go on when doing future testing.
Also ghosting and blur crc hacks might need to be updated as they may
not be necessary on native res only.
List: GSC_Tekken5, GSC_TombRaiderUnderWorld, GSC_XE3, GSC_AceCombat4,
GSC_SoTC, GSC_ResidentEvil4.
Note: I left GSC_ValkyrieProfile2 in there because it might need to be
re enabled for dx, someday will look in to it when I'm up for the task.
This pull request is for the pending reorganization of the folder structure on GSdx,
making it better organized and easier to work with.
Also remove unused GSTextureFX.cpp file.
Enabled caching of clut copies with PaletteMap also in the case 8-bit texture is disabled, which is the default (on #2344 the caching of clut copies and palette textures was done only when 8-bit texture was enabled).
Brings moderate speedups ~10% in the most concitated parts of the ZoE2 Anubis benchmark, but may improve performance in all the cases when there are many Source objects created with clut copies to be stored.
The quality of the comments has been improved to better highlight the mechanics of the caching system.
Removed crc id 0x7D4EA48F and mentions of that id and it's duplicates. The id is from a multiloader when packing images, and not an actual crc id from a game(s).
Currently, none of the EE kernel is viewable from the debugger, which poses issues when debugging code that makes use of syscalls. This PR should allow the memory region 0x80000000 - 0x800FFFFF to have readable disassembly.
This follows the 4th point of #2310.
The idea was to rework the current palette texture management to improve performances with games that uses multiple palettes for the same data texture.
The new management shows small to none performances improvement in almost every game in terms of FPS, and it lowers the GPU BUS usage by some percentage points in games like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (9% to 7%) which uses many palettes.
The hot topic is that the performances in Zone Of The Enders 2 skyrocketed (2x), because of the fact that the game uses many palettes and a small number of textures to render it's effects.
For more detailed information check the PR #2344
Fixed typos, grammatical errors, several inconsistencies with words and terms, changed some words that had a wrong translation or could be improved according to context and translated some untranslated terms.
Some users get confused and change the setting to a recommended option.
This can cause some issues when switching different hw render types.
Most of the time users shouldn't change the option and leave it on
Automatic.
Also remove ICO from crc Aggressive tooltip.
When updating from a higher wx release this change needs to be rechecked. The change was also included on the current 3.1.2 branch https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1000 so this is essentially a backport (to 3.0.2 I believe pcsx2 uses ? ).
Only impacts custom resolution, there used to be a much weaker algorithm
which doens't consider scissor sizes and gives a minor performance boost
in costs of accuracy (which was used when large framebuffer was disabled
in custom resolutions)
I've removed this as the performance tradeoff is rather negligible after
the implementation of #1942 and the older one is no longer necessary.
Also added an extra parameter for considering the horizontal scissor,
I'm not sure where this might be useful so this is disabled in code for
now till I discover a testcase where this helps or run it on random data
ensuring it's working properly.
Also porting this to the general scaling function might help with memory
spikes which are experienced when large framebuffer is enabled.
We can't do a full port because channel shuffle and depth sampling need
to be ported to d3d but at the very least we can do a partial port that
skips the bad draw calls.
This way we can remove all the remaining crc hacks for ICO in GSHwHacks.
