A bit slower. Maybe because SubData does the copy in the driver thread. My memcpy is done on
the main thread. I'm not sure it would worth an extra thread to copy vertex data to the GPU
Note: testers are welcome. You need to edit the ini file.
"ogl_vertex_storage=1" <= enable the extension
"ogl_vertex_storage=0" <= disable the extension
Again you need the support of GL_arb_buffer_storage (i.e. not catalyst)
Improve arb_buffer_storage implementation
Try harder to align the texture buffer
Strangely arb_buffer_storage is 3 times slower on my PC (nvidia)
Tester are welcome! Open the ini file
"ogl_texture_storage = 1" <= enable the extension
"ogl_texture_storage = 0" <= disable the extension
Note: you need an opengl 4.4 driver or one that support arb_buffer_storage (i.e. not catalyst)
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.

Also removed the fallback recovery ps, and replaced the compile fail catch to a simple console print. Which I think is safer, and faster.

UserHacks_AlphaStencil will take precedence on override_GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store

Note: DATE is used for shadows (persona 3) and others effect
You can disable it when you disable gl image extension (override_GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store = 0)
You can also enable it on AMD too (set it to 1 this time) but no guarantee.
If you feel the extension is too slow, you can try disable some gl barrier (aka "damn the torpedo full steam ahead!").
It can be done with the option UserHacks_DateGL4 = 1. Otherwise just disable the extension.
Note: don't enable UserHacks_AlphaStencil in the same time. GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store is an alternative implementation.
Enabling both in the same time will lead to undefined (well surely wrong) behavior.

* properly detect gl nv depth extension
* Always show the hack on the gui. Add a new hack option for DATE (gl4.2) only
* Save the scan mode on linux too (f7)
* hopefully fix some crash on some drivers... (ensure aligment 256 bits alignment, and if not use std memcpy)

Fixes a small oversight on my part. Which was setting the maximum anisotropy to (0,1,2,3,4) respectively, instead of (1,2,4,8,16). So when you selected x16 for example, you were actually only getting x4 >.>
Corrected now, and you will be getting the full x16 when selected :)

Adds anisotropic texture filtering (1x-16x) to the hardware settings. Enhances the visual quality of textures that are at oblique viewing angles.
Anisotropic filtering is automatically disabled if: 8-bit textures are enabled.

As before: use the hotkey(f7) to switch between them. It will now save the chosen scanline effect, instead of always defaulting to disabled, on load.

Best setting if you driver support GL_NV_depth_buffer_float => GL_NV_Depth = 1 & logz = 0
Otherwise => GL_NV_Depth = 0 & logz = 1
Explanation of the bug:
Dx z position ranges from 0.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
Why it sucks:
GS small depth value will be "mapped" to -1.0f. In others all small values will be 1.0f! Terrible lost
of accuraccy.
The GL_NV_depth_buffer_float extension allow to set the near plane as -1.0f.
So
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)"
will become
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges -1.0f to 1.0f)"
and therefore
"z posision [0.0f;1.0f] will map to FS [0.0f;1.0f]" as DX
Yes we just get back all precision lost previously :)
However you need hardware (intel?) and driver support (free driver?/gles?) :(

WinXP should be exempted from Portaudio as the default for now.
It has a large latency with DirectSound compared to direct use and XA2 isn't available at all.

The preferred audio output module is PortAudio, so making it the default under Windows now (it is already on Linux).
It will use wasapi mode with the default sound device by default, both are configurable though.
This setup gives us better latency and a higher time stretch polling frequency, resulting in better quality overall.
With this we can also lower the main latency default from 150ms to now 100ms.
There is no error checking for the wasapi mode selection yet, as I don't know how this should be done.
Help would be appreciated (gigaherz!) :p

HTB123 on our forums came up with a hack that removes the broken main character shadow in hardware rendering
in SMT Nocturne.
This should work for all GSdx recognized versions / regions of the game (tested EU and NTSC-U).
