* Added some brevity info to the Bios Selector screen during first time wizard.
* NSIS: Added IsUserAdmin script; not used quite yet (see diff comments)

32-bit depth buffers for D3D9 users if available. Lots of code shuffling for reasons I don't even remember. Stuff. Pretty much just the 32-bit depth buffers. That's good though, you don't have to envy D3D10 users half as much now.

* Added DX11 support. DX11 enabled cards now give a +~40% speedup
* New SSE-X instructions we invented for PCSX2. Give a +200% speedup even on old CPUs.
* Full 64bit support. If you have 64 bit windows, be prepared for a 300% speed up.
* Implemented new DMAC, so far we have ~15 games that show improvements.
* Added support for USB-enabled vibrators. Feel the full pleasure of gaming, now also with PCSX2!
* SPU2-X now decodes Dolby Digital 7.1!
* Please test to find any bugs in the 24-thread code, it's a bit complex so some tiny bugs might have crept in.

* Fixed issues with start menu links
* Added an option for desktop shortcut!
* capitalization consistency (PCSX2 instead of pcsx2 for all user-displayed names)
* improved the uninstaller logic slightly.

There shouldn't be a reason to add more categories to the current list, and we will have a 'notes' field for additional information....

- Games now display their compatibility status on the console title-bar ^^
- Modifications to DataBase_Loader to write to the database and save changes
Note to pcsx2 team:
The compatibility info is numerically based.
000 ~ 099 = Unknown Compatibility status
100 ~ 199 = Nothing
200 ~ 299 = Intro
300 ~ 399 = Menu
400 ~ 499 = In-game
500 ~ 599 = Playable
600+ = Perfect
(Currently no game has the perfect status since the pcsx2.net compatibility list didn't have that as an option)

* Fixed a startup crash by moving the game database initialization to cpuReset(). This is a temporary measure until we sort out a better system for it. This is needed because initializing complex classes in C++ as globals is VERY dangerous and unpredictable. The databse was being loaded before any wxWidgets/UI objects were being created themselves, so any errors, exceptions, or console logs generated by the database were likely to cause unpredictable behavior.

- Some work on the database_loader class... now loads all game data into memory, and you can switch the game who's data is being read by calling setGame().
- Made the database_loader class a global "GameDB" so that it can be referred to throughout pcsx2 code...

doesn't really matter though, it just looks up the game in the database and prints the name and serial to console.
i also fixed some bugs in the database file.

Details: Console logger now freezes updates for 100ms after every update. This means it responds quickly to most logs, but limits series of log spams to 10 updates per second.

Currently only has game serial/name/region info, but we can use this to load game-specific gamefixes and stuff in the future (and get rid of the pnaches system).
The file is DataBase.dbf, but can be opened and modified as a normal text-file.

* Console Log doesn't force itself into the focus anymore when it opens
* Suspend/Resume menu item updates more reliably.
* Changing plugin settings while suspended works nicer; less likely to crash/hang/etc (ironically, changing plugin settings while running was more reliable).

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 :)

* Fixed some minor bugs when processing idle events.
* Plugin Load/Init/Shutdown/Unload are all called from the Main/UI thread again; this is important for plugins that issue popup warning/error messages.
DevNotes:
* Added ScopedPtrMT, a multithread-safe version of ScopedPtr.
* MTGS errors are still not handled as gracefully as they should be; namely the MTGS thread doesn't restart itself (it's on the TODO list).
