- 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)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5221 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- 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.

Skygunner crashing on boot.
James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing doing a huge Vram usage when opening the weapons screen and making the system crawl at it. Couldn't test much with this one and only added the US version for now.

The list is case insensitive and order insensitive.
E.g. Disable all CRC hacks: CrcHacksExclusions=all
E.g. Disable hacks for these CRCs: CrcHacksExclusions=0x0F0C4A9C, 0x0EE5646B, 0x7ACF7E03

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...)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4787 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
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.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4766 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
GameDB: Onimusha 4: Dawn of Dreams playable again with a patch. Minor other updates.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4706 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
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
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4636 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Small change to the Metal Gear Solid 3 hackfix. Portraits in codec conversations show now without much of a performance hit, lemme know if this one breaks anything in the game.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4631 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also added Valkyria Profile 2 Italy to the gamedb and GSdx crc list. By Leucos.
Thanks guys :)

Also a few changes for Tekken 5, "City at sunset" stage, hopefully there's nothing else wrong with this game anymore.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4585 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also removed the effect in the burning temple stage which had thin lines over it when using high res.
GameDB: More updates ~_~
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4562 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- GSWnd is not implemented, no config dialogs either
- no output, just the null device
- threading classes were not tested (my first experience with pthread)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4315 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Changed defaults and ranges for the soundtouch timestretch parameters. This reduces added latency from timestretching.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3939 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Added Haunting Ground to the list of games that get their post processing automatically removed.
The game still shows a badly blended fog but is otherwise nicely playable now.
Hacks are from an unknown coder. Thanks for figuring it out! ;)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3642 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Apply hackfix for Wild Arms 4. Thanks Lana and 89CamaroIROCZ :)
We're still missing the PAL and JAP CRCs though. Issue 185 collects them.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3557 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
This is now a multi purpose hack, which could potentially fix / break a lot of games.
It mostly affects FMV and PATH3 masking issues, but also stops games from booting, or makes them boot.
Use with caution :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2965 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Hopefully hacked up the "wall of fog" problem in GoW2. Used an adapted patch from ZeroGravity.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2687 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- The earlier FFX fix killed fmv in Xenosaga 2. Hacked up a bit more now! :p
- Few more CRC (Note: I will look at GoW 2 once I have time and dumps, not before!)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2660 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Fix SPR interrupts to a delay of 4 cycles always. Makes sure they're handled first.
(Fixes Obscure2 and Alone in the Dark FMV.)
GSdx:
- One more CRC :p
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2584 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Added interface.cpp (plugin/pcsx2 interface) and savestate.cpp to SPU2ghz, to help clean up SPU2.cpp.
