It is mostly the texture shuffle effect which is now emulated correctly on openGL
They remain in the Dx level as speedhack in particular for
* Castlevania;
* GodOfWar;
* StarOcean3;
* ValkyrieProfile2;
* RadiataStories;
Remove old commented hack: Drakengard2, ArctheLad, ReZ
Separate hacks that are only enabled in aggressive mode
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
The idea is to easily extract bad frame from gs dump and to compare them
with the sw renderer.
Here the summary of the options:
savet => dump all input textures
save => dump the render target
savez => dump the depth buffer
savef => dump the frame
0: don't dump input texture
1: dump input texture
Now, you can do a first pass with only RT. When you find the wrong call, you can redump the input texture of the bad draw.
1/ initReadFifo will be first called on the GS thread
(openGL can only be done on the GS thread)
2/ readFifo will be called on the EE thread. It is not safe too access eeMem from GS
because of memory is virtual
Fix "recent" regression (crash) on Kingdom heart and others game too.
v2: add a len check on GSState::InitReadFIFO
This hack was used because GSReadFifo was called from the EE thread.
Previous commit move the call to the GSThread.
Hopefully avoid flushing the full GPU contex would improve openGL
performance (at least avoid some hiccups ;) )
Note: newer GSdx ogl won't be compatible with older PCSX2
Crashfix for a weird GIF_FLG_IMAGE2 situation in Wallace and Gromit Project Zoo. Needs further investigation.

* try to use more subroutine on VS&PS, unfortunately hit a driver crash!
* Call Attach/DetachContext through GSDevice so I can unmap currently mapped buffer
* Implement glsl part of GL_ARB_bindless texture, again hit another driver crash!
* various fix of GL_ARB_buffer_storage. Basic benchmark show only improvement on 'cold' case, I guess it will improve smoothness
* try to fix GL_clear_texture, no success so far. It seem the extension is limited to basic texture (aka no depth/stencil)

- changed the KH2 fix in GetTextureMinMax to my taste, should give the same results, when the used texture rect is to the left/above the clamped area, it returns [min, min+1], and [max-1, max] for right/below
- m_mem.m_clut.Read32 was returned to its original place from GetAlphaMinMax
- UserHacks_WildHack was moved up to GSState, special UV handlers are only used when this setting is active
- updated xbyak to the latest available (avx2 seems incomplete, the 256-bit promoted old instructions are missing)
- changed vtune's include path to the 2013 edition
Some other not yet commited changes from a year ago:
- WriteImageX overflow crash-fix
- moved colclamp after dithering (sw mode), it makes more sense, no visible changes noticed
- Gif_Tag::analyzeTag(), there was a conditional I didn't like, split the loop into two parts

It wasn't the suspicious code, that actually seems to be correct. The rempty() case should now be unnecessary except in case of bad register settings, but that's outside of our control so it needs to stay until code's added for that case. A console warning would be appropriate.

* properly delete program and vertex array. Avoid a crash on plugin reload
* reset shader state. Avoid to reuse invalid data on plugin reload
gsdx:
* add an hack to unattach/attach the gl context from different thread. Help to solve some crashes. The best will be to move gpu operation out of gsreadfifo but it would need more works
* implement logz for test purpose (don't seem to help)
gsdx replay:
* use default xdg location

- Added "Aggressive-CRC" checkbox at the HW hacks section of the config dialog.
- The following hacks are now activated only in aggressive mode:
- God of War 2: disable water effect/lines, disable global haze.
- FFX, FFX2, SSX3 (the full crc hack from r5214).
- Shadow of the Colossus: disable (over)bloom.
- Reverted the Valkyrie Profile 2 hack to pre- r5214.
- Some CRC fixes by comments on r5214.
- Regression fix of dynamic crc hack (INITIAL_MODE = 0 didn't compile)

Allows to have a single dynaCRC DLL for several games, differentiated by their CRCs by using the new utility IsCRC(0x12345678, 0x87654321, ...).
Note: With old GSdx (and updated new DynaCrcHack.c), IsCRC always returns false.

- 14 Updated hacks, 41 new hacks (See full list at the first comment).
- New crc-hacks might have patial crc lists, so it's possible that some copies won't get the benefit (yet).
- Non crc-hacks code was NOT imported from Cutie, so some crc hacks might not be as effective as within Cutie itself.
- New region: CH, few more CRCs.
Note:
Due to the very big list of affected games, I couldn't test the vast majority of them, and so your help would be appreciated in testing. Please report (even if someone else already reported with the same result as yours) with the following format:
<game name> - <better/worse/same> (reason) - tested <little/medium/much>
e.g.:
Tomb Raider Legend - Better (removes garbage graphics) - tested a little.
GTA San Andreas - Better (removes ghosts) - tested a little.
And of course, big thank you goes to the author of Cutie, for the time put into improving PCSX2, and for respecting the GPL license and releasing the code.

Another refinement to the Wild Arms hack by KrossX.
The hack now only applies to one kind of geometry (sent using the unpacked UV handler).
This works nicer in Wild Arms as it fixes "jumpy" characters.

- 0: no multi-threading
- 1: gif packet processing and texture uploads run parallel with rendering, the slowest decides the fps, dual-cores can still suffer by the spin loops, I'll check that when I compile pcsx2 on my notebook
- 2: two rendering threads, on a decent cpu packet processing is going to be slower now, this is probably going to increase fps the most on quads
- 3: small fps increase
- 4+: even smaller.
If you have a quad cpu with HT, 6 is the max, 1 + 1 is needed for pcsx2 and gsdx's basic tasks.
Also hacked palette writes to not force a read-back in hw mode (added in previous rev), it hit render targets in a surprising large number of games.

- Use float instead of int for the video framerate.
- Use 59.94 instead of 60 for the ntsc framerate.
This replaces a previous hackfix with a better one, but it's still not ideal.
The ideal solution for the video encoding side would be to use an actual fraction (60000/1001) and pass this fraction to the encoder.
The ideal solution for the gsdx side would be to deduce the real framerate from the timing parameters.

See tools/dynacrchack/DynaCrcHack.c for full instructions.
For development of CRC hacks (and just for the fun of creating such a system), Allows GSdx to load and use CRC hack logic from an external DLL, and reload it, at runtime, whenever this DLL changes (but act normally if this DLL isn't found).
This external DLL is compiled from a single C source file (a sample is provided, containing the current MGS3 CRC hack logic). There's also a system to automatically compile this C file into the DLL whenever the C file is modified, thus creating a system of instant [save C file] -> [GSdx switches to the new logic].
It's actually a pretty cool system, and might have other usages where it's useful, for the sake of tests/development/tweaking, to modify code logic during runtime. The overhead of such system compared to pre-compiled code is very low (e.g., in the case of CRC hacks which are called thousands of times/sec, I couldn't notice any difference in performance).
Compilation of the C file is currently done using TCC (Tiny C Compiler - http://bellard.org/tcc/ - extremely fast, light and powerful). TCC itself needs to be downloaded separately (~250K download, no install required). The system currently supports Windows only.

Summary of changes...
Fixed menus and HUD for Spyro: A New Beginning and Spyro: the Eternal Night.
Fixed missing dialogs and reduced the VRam usage a bit for Tales of Legendia ("8-bit textures" help a bit more with Vram/speed). Should be playable now in hardware mode. Thanks to rama for figuring it could be hackfixed this way and the initial patch :)
Half-screen fixes for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, X-men Origins: Wolverine, Call of Duty: World at War - Final Fronts.
Modified the Star Wars: Force Unleashed hackfix a bit, shouldn't have the see-thru objects anymore.
Also modified the Metal Gear Solid 3 and Gran Turismo 4 hackfixes as they needed different skip values for each region (PAL/NTSC). Thanx to avih for the region code... and the free C/C++ lessons :P
The hackfix for Sly 3 was still showing stripes for 3-D and two-player modes, fixed for NTSC version now and hopefully works for PAL one too.
Couple GameDB updates after the gif rewrite.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4833 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
it kinda works better if you make the hackfix use the function...
GSdx: Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2's hackfix works with NTSC version now too.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4792 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Adjusted the SW Battlefront hackfix for the PAL versions (NTSC-U and PAL versions have the same CRC but use slighty different buffer/texture addresses...)

The Lord of the Rings: the Third Age (Removing fat stripes on screen).
Digimon Rumble Arena 2 (Half screen issue).
Star Wars - The Force Unleashed (Hiding HUD and 3d issues. Not perfect and NTSC-U only, not sure if it works with PAL).
Star Wars Battlefront 1/2 (Huge VRAM usage issue. NTSC-U only, not sure if it works with others).
Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre (Half screen issue and removes the night vision filter which was broken and using a lot of VRAM).
Minimal changes to other CRC hackfixes and GameDB.

New define "NO_CRC_HACKS", for testing how games work without hacks easily.
Gets enabled together with the no cache define but can be toggled individually as well.
Also I've been told to mention that these changes are not directly benefiting the end user.
Gamers: This doesn't fix your DragonBall, okay? :p

- Allow filtering setting for native resolution hardware rendering, as it's not tied to the resolution.
- Add ST / UV coordinate tweaking defines to more easily debug small rendering glitches.
- Add a define to bypass the hardware renderer texture cache. With this enabled, speed drops to slower than software rendering.
It fixes nearly all hardware rendering issues though and can be used to see how games *would* look if we had a new cache ;)
Thanks for the help, sudonim :)
