Enhance the skipdraw hack by allowing skipdraw to skip a range of draw
calls.
For example: When the broken effects are at frames 90-100, the default
skipdraw always skips 0-100, possibly skipping several functioning
effects as well. By enhancing the skipdraw feature, it is now possible
to skip just frames 90-100.
For the example given above set the first box to 90 and the second box
to 100 to skip frames 90-100.

Makes all the tabs scrollable, which makes the dialog more usable (the
OK button should always be present unless the screen is absurdly small).
Only checked on GTK3.
Use hexpand instead of expand, and use margin-start instead of
margin-left (margin-left is deprecated in GTK+ 3.12). IMO it looks
better this way.
Also, set the properties using gtk_widget_set_* instead of g_object_set.
Previously the limit was 1000, now 10000 in the GUI. It should help in
some rare cases where a higher number is needed without the need of ini
editing and value reset issues caused by the GUI.
Rearrange the two columns of HW hacks, new arrangement
is done in alphabetical order on Windows and Linux.
Rename some hacks on Linux to match the windows version.
Some other minor tweaks as well.
Add HW Hack that enables Framebuffer Conversion on the CPU instead of the GPU.
Can fix broken textures on games but at the cost of slower performance.
List of games: Harry Potter games, FIFA Street games.
Games like Call of Duty, Kung fu Panda might also be affected as well as others
especially on Direct3D.
Add HW Hack GUI option on Windows/Linux for 4-bit and 8-bit Framebuffer conversion hack
named "Frame Buffer Conversion".
* replace gtk_table by gtk_grid
=> it still misses some paddings
* Use 3.22 monitor API to query screen size
=> need to be tested
* directly add scrolled windows into a container without bothering with
the viewport.
Code compile fine but wasn't tested.
v2: disable the code until I (or someone) get a chance to test and fix it.
add checkboxes for the 2 "new" hacks
Wrap gs memory & merge postprocessing sprite
add tooltip for OpenGL options
v2: based on turtleli feedback
use gtk_scrolled_window_set_propagate_natural_height on GTK 3.22+
use the nicer GTK_CHECK_VERSION macro
Bilinear applies to all renderer
* Common code done in GSVertexTrace
* Extend it with forced but sprite (trade-off between linear/upscale glitches)
* Linux GUI option was moved at the top with the renderer selection
Trilinear is moved to OGL hack
close#1837
Thanks to Flatout for the review and feedback.
It will take care to update the Window GUI :)
* move the post-processing frame into the OSD tab
* Rename Global Settings to Renderer Settings
* put monitor and indicator check box on the same line
At least we have a similar number of options by tab
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)
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 old implementation saved the current value of a GSSetting as uint in
a field called 'id'. The implementation of GSSettings suggests that
GSSettings could be saved in a database with id as primary key. This
would require a translation look up from id to value but could have all
advantages of a database. However the interface to GSSetting was never
implemented like that.
In the new implementation GSSetting has a 'value' field that stores an
int representative value of the desired state. Additionally the
constructor is 'overloaded' as template to reduce casting in the
consumer code. However all consumer values need to be castable to int.
Accordingly combobox initialization was adjusted.
