Put in some handling for MPG Overflows (VIF command, not videos :P)
Fixed another SSE Unpack bug i came across - Effected THPS Project 8

VIF: changed a memcpy_aligned on 64-bit aligned data to memcpy_fast. Doesn't matter with the current memcpy set we use but could have caused a crash in the future.

-Path3 Masking Changes, Gif Unit now rolls the DMA back (Path3 only) if it is using the Masking and finishes mid DMA packet.
-Vif modified to be simpler in the transfer loop and fixes issues where Flushes are called at the end of a DMA packet.
Game fixes from changes:
Outrun 2006 - Water textures and general flickering fixed, also SW mode not required for half screen issue. Caused by GIF Path 3 stopping in the wrong place.
Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith - DMA timeouts caused by Flush at end of packet.
Had to break savestates (version change!), sorry :(

VIF Stall Delay hack: Modified slightly for Onimusha Blade Warriors. This expects the end of the packet to all be in the VIF1 FIFO (which doesn't exist) and the VIF to have finished, so the Stall is technically ignored now, doesn't hurt SOCOM 2.

-Fixed a bug stopping GT4 running.
-VIF now waits if the VU is busy rather than spinning, causing huge slowdowns.
-Filled in some bits i missed
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5149 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Path3 Masking: Fixed a bug which caused persona 3 not to boot, previous a hack had been put in place to get around this.
VIF: Fixed a VIF error with the rare game Realta Nua, now goes through the prologue correctly. Game requires the EE timing hack to get rid of most of the noise (Path3 masking problem with new GIF unit, unfixable).
Expecting bugs, I will be monitoring this.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5147 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also added a couple important global variables to be savestated (breaks old state compat).

Threading VU1 took a lot of rewrites and new code to make possible (MTGS, microVU, gifUnit...), but we finally got to the point where it was feasible, and now we've done it! (so now everyone can stop complaining that pcsx2 only takes advantages of 2 cores :p).
The speedups in the games that benefit from it are great if you have a cpu with 3+ cores (generally a 10~45% speedup), however games that are GS limited can be a slowdown (especially on dual core cpu's).
The option can be found in the speedhacks section as "MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1)". And when enabled it should should show the VU thread-time percentage on the title bar window (Like we currently do for EE/GS/UI threads).
It is listed as a speedhack because in order for threading VU1 to have been a speedup, we need to assume that games will not send gif packets containing Signal/Finish/Label commands from path 1 (vu1's xgkick). The good news is very-few games ever do this, so the compatibility of MTVU is very high (a game that does do this will likely hang).
Note: vs2010 builds and Linux builds need to be updated to include "MTVU.h" and "MTVU.cpp".
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4865 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
fixes Bleach bankai problem, and probably other games (wizardry/growlancer 3) but haven't tested...
Also removed a vif FlushA hack that used to be needed for tekken 4/gitaroo man but not anymore...
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4829 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
some bits were kept for reference and should be deleted in the future (along with the entire GIFpath.cpp)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4823 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Pcsx2 now has a gifUnit class which acts like the ps2's gif and executes a single gif transfer at a time (and performs path arbitration according to priority and path3 slicing).
This new code is generally a speedup for most games. Particularly VU heavy games like GoW.
This revision breaks old saved state compatibility so don't update if you wish to keep playing with your old saved states.
Leave comments if this revision fixes or breaks anything...
Message to GS Plugin authors:
This new code now uses only 1 gif callback to transfer data to the gs plugin (GSgifTransfer).
pcsx2 also is garaunteed to send full GS primitives to the plugin. So you don't have to account for partial-transfers anymore.
Thanks goes out to shadowlady who tested around 500 games for me :D
Note 1: The old gif code is still in this revision, and can be enabled by the USE_OLD_GIF macro. The old code will be deleted soon.
Note 2: This revision also enables assertion dialogs in devel builds, and changed a lot of assume cases into assertions.

Cleaned up Gifdma a little, removing duplicate code. Disabled a few console writes we dont nee really.

- Slight tweak to Path3 masking, an overlooked situation where Path3 can wait between GIFTags.
- Improved the stability of MFIFO on both sides greatly for games such at Tekken Tag (which boots again) Gran Turismo 4 and FF7 Dirge of Cerberus.
I'm expecting *Something* to break, so please report it here if something does, please make sure it is THIS revision.

(note to devs: a sure-fire fix for GCC's templated function problems is to typecast the templated function to itself explicitly -- works nicely for all versions of GCC and the ?: operator as well).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3763 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* All remaining code for handling partial/fragmented unpacks removed.
* vifRegs.NUM is now accurately simulated when queuing data from fragmented unpacks.
* Reduced the VIFunpack fragment buffer from 1MB to 4KB (max size of an unpack due to NUM being limited to 8 bits).
* Removed vif/vifRegs globals formally used by VIF interpreters (everything relies on the templated vifIdx now -- simpler and faster!)
* g_vifMask vars are integrated into vifStruct.
* All VIF mask register stuff uses the SSE-friendly vifStruct.MaskRow/Col vars now.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3762 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Writes via 16 and 8 bit ops now use 32-bit read/modify/write operations by default; which should enable nearly complete support for all such operations (instead of the formerly spotty coverage before).
* Eliminated almost all former 8/16-bit specific register operations. All code shares the same 32 bit handlers now.
* Completely revamped the developer trace logs for hardware registers! *ALL* registers are logged now, complete with address, name, and value being read/written (and nicely formatted!).
* Handlers are now fully page-based using templated functions (minor speedup)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3704 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Removed the hacky g_pVU1 pointer, which required VU1 cpu registers to be part of VU0. Replaced it with a standard VU1 variable (mimics all other CPU registers, which are standard static vars). We were using translation functions/tables for all VU0 memory operations anyway, so this was a no-brainer.
* Removed code from microVU that was only there to help deal with the fact that g_pVU1 was annoying.
* Turned eeMem->HW into a static global array eeHw [64k].
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3692 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added __fi and __ri, which are abbreviations for __forceinline and __releaseinline.
* Added some static qualifiers to functions in mVU, MMI ops, and others where appropriate.
* Removed some unnecessary __fastcall qualifiers (since GCC gets funny sometimes when you combine __fastcall and inlining).
* Made _1mb, _16mb, _1gb values common to all emulation code (moved from newVif/mvu to Common.h) -- they're useful! :)

DevNotes: DevCon logs are now available in *Release* builds as well as Devel builds, and can be enabled from the Console window's "Sources" menu. They are disabled by default in Release builds, and are always enabled regardless of the ini setting in devel builds. Debug logs are still strictly available in debug builds only.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3609 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added a few assertions to detect when PATH transfers are started that violate other pending PATH transfers.
* Removed a lot of obsolete code from vif1's DIRECT handler (Vif_Codes.cpp)
* Add alignment to Path1buffer to avoid SSE alignment faults.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/ReorderingMTGS@3503 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Implemented GIFPath_CopyTag, which performs a "copy-in-place" while parsing tags (big speedup over the old parse-then-copy strategy, especially with the SSE intrinsics I've included for kicks).
* Removed the old ringbuffer 'restart' mechanism and replaced it with a truly free-flowing wrapping mechanism. Utilizes the ringbuffer more efficiently, and removes quite a bit of overhead from the MTGS's PrepDataPacket call.

Only kidding, it should be awsome now, Also added a debug message incase some Paths are queued on a FINISH, any broken graphics when this shows up (or failure to load) should be reported asap!
Thanks to jake for his hard work getting signal and my optimizations working :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3400 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
DevNote: I could have left the code for the freezes in, except I *really* don't want us to ever have to resort to using such a system ever again in the future. For anything. (its just not safe on modern optimizing compilers)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3392 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
-Fixed up some path3 masking stuff, trying a slightly different approach too.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3349 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Batman Returns Issue 709 .
- Fixed flashing in Sega Superstars Tennis.
- Clawed back some of the speed loss from the XGKick delays.
Detailed changes:
- CALL Tag DMAs that contain invalid next tag addresses ignore the call (Batman started sending corrupt information from invalid addresses)
- VU1 now flushes any pending transfers if it's trying to send another and doesnt process any packed/list regs
- Batman was checking for OPH to be high, this was a timing thing, something id completely got rid of accidently (same for APATH)
- XGKick will no longer queue if PATH3 is interrupted
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3285 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Games
- Resident Evil Dead Aim flickering graphics fixed.
- Flatout games should now boot everytime (instead of randomly)
- Sega Superstar Tennis flashing fixed
- Destruction Derby graphics fixed (NTSC confirmed, PAL unsure)
- Tenchu Fatal Shadows flickering textures fixed, Issue 748
- Spyro Hero's Tail should boot again, Issue 746
General Info
- General reworking of the GS paths with all paths prioritizing more correctly.
- XGKICK can stall if another GS transfer is in progress
- Major reworking of Path3 masking, could still be combined with normal Path3 transfers, but lets get it working first :P
- Taken in to account a few conditions which could have caused VIF to lock up/crash when stalling on ends.
- Unreversed GIF and SPR and VIF so its the normal way round
- all DMA paths should now resume correctly after being stopped by hardware
- GIF FIFO now actually transfers stuff :P
- VIF CMD's simulated by the length of the interrupts at the end.
Phew, i think that's everything :S
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3274 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also clean-up/fix of GS download logic. Might fix something if we're very lucky.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2954 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Fixed bug in the GIF_Tag decoding which caused huge QWC values on GIF if the FIFO was "read" beforehand.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2862 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- BIOS works again, Issue involving GIF Tag looping from the VU (which must have never worked!)
- Fixed KH freeze issue, possibly fixes Onimusha 2 as well. Thx Arcum for spotting it, thanks Rama for trying to bring fast resolution to the issue (however it wasnt quite right)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2856 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Improved handling of suspended DMA's, Also some traps in case DMA values are changed during suspend (please report if they don't start with 5 or 6)
- Better handling of GS Path priorities, this improves many Path3 Masked games such as Star Wars Episode 3, Gran Turismo 4 (slightly) and Videos like Digital Devil Saga/FFX
- Removed Voodoo Cycles
- Doesn't kill everything this time :P
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2853 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
So this reverts all VIF and GIF related code of that revision,
leaving only the changes that were made to IPU.
Compatibility should be fixed again, with the added bonus of lots more videos working.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2828 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- IPU 1 DMA rewritten - now much more readable, less hacky. A couple of games are still slightly picky, but overall compatability is similar (if not better in some cases)
- Reverse VIF transfers figured out and implemented (mostly)! - There are still some problems with this, will work on it.
- Improved GS PATH transfer control, now PATH2 and 3 cant transfer when PATH1 is, PATH3 cant when PATH2 is and so on.
- IPU now waits for ended GS transfers, for some reason this was screwing videos (mainly from PATH2) and causing them to be torn, which the original voodoo cycles addition fixed.
Note: You may see a lot of "Double IRQ on DMA 4" messages. At the moment these are unavoidable but aren't actually causing any issues. I do know about them :P
Feel free to negative is I've seriously broke something lol
