The following patch adds Mipmap option (software mode exclusive) and Preload Data Frame (Hardware mode exclusive) to the GSDX plugin settings for debug purposes.
All combobox text can now be seen in full without having to click on the
combobox.
The internal and custom resolution stuff has been moved into the Hardware
Mode Settings groupbox since it doesn't affect software mode.
The dialog has also been rearranged a bit.
upscale_multiplier function values have been changed to allocate native resolution and also move custom resolution to 9.
Remove the old native checkbox value and include Native in the combo box.
Internal GSDX functions have also been updated with this new update to the upscale_multiplier variable.
Changes the three-state checkboxes to comboboxes.
Removes the hack description box.
Hides Alpha and Alpha Stencil when OpenGL is selected.
Rearranges the hacks dialog.
This moves the hardware, non-renderer dependent options to the top and
makes the renderer options visible only when it affects the current
renderer.
The texture filtering checkbox has been changed to a combobox and now
uses the same description as Linux does.
Also changes the Title to GSdx Settings.
The CRC hack option is always used regardless of whether the HW Hack
checkbox is ticked. Move it to the main gsdx dialog and make it use the
same descriptions that are used in Linux.
And fix the accurate_blend_unit whitespace formatting.
Removes the checkbox of Anisotropic filtering from the GSDX plugin settings, the checkbox was usually used to enable & disable the AF which is not necessary since there is an option in the drop down list for disabling AF.
the internal function value of "AnisotropicFiltering" has been replaced with "MaxAnisotropy" for detection.
the detection uses the function getconfig("MaxAnisotropy", value) where value 0 means disabled and value is the default value when no value is set in the INI file.
The Wild Arms Offset hack can only be on or off. There is no third
state. Convert the three-state checkbox into a two-state checkbox, fix
the description and remove a leftover.
initialization of IDC_ROUND_SPRITE
set&get config for round offset.
three state checkbox for the hack.
define IDC for round offset.
Linux (GUI) refresh.
typo
Also disabled the gsdx AF options for the OGL renderer (because it's not implemented for that yet).

Adds anisotropic texture filtering (1x-16x) to the hardware settings. Enhances the visual quality of textures that are at oblique viewing angles.
Anisotropic filtering is automatically disabled if: 8-bit textures are enabled.

Slight adjustments to positions in the GUI also (OCD'd the spacing a little :P)

Added a check box and config code for the fxaa shader.
It's not currently hooked up since the shader setup might get replaced in a day or two.

Probably only of interest to testers (and me). Absolutely do NOT select the reference device even out of extreme morbid curiosity. It's not even very good at being a reference despite being slower than you can probably believe.

Now, a note about the actual issue. Destination alpha tests can be used on the GS as one of the workarounds for a lack of stencils. If you use a destination alpha test and leave alpha writing on, the GS will only write each pixel until you write an alpha value which would fail the test. This works to a point in gsdx without further hacking, but that point is when within a single batch of primitives the same pixels are written multiple times and the destination alpha test is expected to update. I did experimentally make a tight loop updating the stencil with a draw then drawing for one primitive at a time, but it was prohibitively slow (over 80% fps loss, you really don't want to know).
Destination alpha testing cannot be directly implemented in D3D9 or D3D10, but (probably) can in D3D11 (with a speed hit for sure, but I doubt it'll be 80%). I'll be getting a new graphics card and looking into that.
And before some idiot says it, the answer is no. OpenGL does not help.
