Purpose is to control the filtering when final image is displayed on the screen
Could improve the sharpness of the output in some games (ofc, it will be pixelated)
"Enable Hardware Depth" removed from main dialog.
"Disable Depth Emulation" and "Fast Texture Invalidation" added to Hacks
dialog.
And fix lots of whitespace issues.
This reverts commit 53690cf9d0.
Quoting user:
For aliasing, the option allow of reduce a little but always very
visible compared with DX11 even with anisotropic OFF, , furthermore
many textures bug added with option activated (predictable but not see
on DX11 with anisotropic ON).
TL;DR doesn't worth it.
Note: it seem to work on DX because DX uses HW texturing in clamp region
mode (and others invalid case). OpenGL uses SW texturing to ensure accuracy
By default, anisotropic filtering was disabled when textures aren't countinuous.
This hack allows to force it. It can help to reduce aliasing but it would create
unexpected effect on texture boundaries.
Again, someone ought to add the option on Windows too
Someone ought to add the Windows option too (and DisablePartialInvalidation too)
It might break a couple of games but most of them run better with depth enabled.
It would be on by default. Unsafe & fast path.
The hack is a security if someone encounters any issue
v2: update Windows gui file
v3: fix typo in tooltip and linux gui
The following patch adds Mipmap option (software mode exclusive) and Preload Data Frame (Hardware mode exclusive) to the GSDX plugin settings for debug purposes.
For Linux and Windows, add tooltip descriptions for AF, AA1, extra
rendering threads, Enable Shade Boost, FX Shader/External Shader, FXAA.
For Windows, also add Alpha Correction and Logarithmic Z tooltips.
For Linux, add software mipmap tooltip.
Thanks to tsunami2311, ssakash, gregory38 and whoever did the wiki for
helping with descriptions.
The hack description box messages were replaced by tooltips on Windows,
so there is no need for the first line in the description to refer to
the hack anymore.
3-state checkboxes were also converted to comboboxes, so remove any
references to checkbox states.
Reformat the descriptions so it looks okay on both Windows and Linux.
Could be better, but I'm out of ideas.
Also fix a few typos and missing punctuation.
I: pcsx2: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pcsx2/libGSdx-1.0.0.so allows to allows one to
I: pcsx2: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pcsx2/libGSdx-1.0.0.so Allow to Allow one to
.
Apparently lintian checks grammar too (most common ones).
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.
The purpose is to emulate correctly destination alpha factor
An alpha channel of 128 is 1.0 in the GS but only ~0.5 in the GPU
I think few draw call use destination alpha so impact on perf must remains small.
The updated medium level will run for all sprites. It helps sotc blooming effect and it remains
fast enough to be enabled by default (at least on 3D games)
The new high level will run for all sprites + color clipping
Accurate options do a better jobs. Technically it can still
be useful for old gpu/driver that doesn't support the GL4.5 extension.
On Windows, you can still rely on Dx
On linux, free driver support it (except Intel)
It might help to fix a bit the color on a couple of games
accurate_fbmask = 1
Code uses GL4.5 extensions. So far it seems the effect is ony used a couple
of time and often in non-overlapping primitive. Speed impact will likely remain small
Just use 1 in skip draw if you want to use it
openGL code will soon be fixed to support depth correctly (and I hope dx in the future)
Conflicts:
plugins/GSdx/GSState.cpp
plugins/GSdx/GSState.h
Old way various check boxes to configure the plugin
New way an unified drop down list
* Level 0 (dev only) => disable (mostly) all hacks and auto skip depth.
* Level 1 (dev only ) => enable oi/oo/cu hacks, others remains disabled
* Level 2 (GL) => enable most hacks except a couple of one that were fixed on openGL (speed impact)
* Level 3 (DX) => enable all hacks
* Level 4 => enable also aggresive CRC
Note: windows gui must be updated, and it will be nice to create a global tooltip
