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.
The previous behaviour loaded the saved renderer config whenever the
adapter combobox was changed. The renderer will now only change if the
new adapter doesn't support the currently selected renderer (i.e
Direct3D11 might not be supported, so it'll revert to Direct3D 9).
Fixes#1080.
1. Add GS_Renderer Enum
Replace all instances of int/uint32 renderer identifier by a strongly
typed enum and appropriate casts.
Only instances in GS[*].cpp/h classes were touched. GPU[*].cpp/h classes
do not to follow the same convention.
2. Add default renderer according to OS
The default renderer is OS dependent (Win -> Dx9HW, others -> OGLHW).
Consequently one should always check againt the appropriate default
value on config load.
The old behaviour was only - if a at all - problematic if the respective
element in the gsdx.ini was missing and probably even then didn't create
issues. The current implementation is still more stable and does not
depend on the implementation of GS.cpp -> GetConfig()
The following patch adds Mipmap option (software mode exclusive) and Preload Data Frame (Hardware mode exclusive) to the GSDX plugin settings for debug purposes.
All combobox text can now be seen in full without having to click on the
combobox.
The internal and custom resolution stuff has been moved into the Hardware
Mode Settings groupbox since it doesn't affect software mode.
The dialog has also been rearranged a bit.
upscale_multiplier function values have been changed to allocate native resolution and also move custom resolution to 9.
Remove the old native checkbox value and include Native in the combo box.
Internal GSDX functions have also been updated with this new update to the upscale_multiplier variable.
For Linux and Windows, add tooltip descriptions for AF, AA1, extra
rendering threads, Enable Shade Boost, FX Shader/External Shader, FXAA.
For Windows, also add Alpha Correction and Logarithmic Z tooltips.
For Linux, add software mipmap tooltip.
Thanks to tsunami2311, ssakash, gregory38 and whoever did the wiki for
helping with descriptions.
Changes the three-state checkboxes to comboboxes.
Removes the hack description box.
Hides Alpha and Alpha Stencil when OpenGL is selected.
Rearranges the hacks dialog.
This moves the hardware, non-renderer dependent options to the top and
makes the renderer options visible only when it affects the current
renderer.
The texture filtering checkbox has been changed to a combobox and now
uses the same description as Linux does.
Also changes the Title to GSdx Settings.
The CRC hack option is always used regardless of whether the HW Hack
checkbox is ticked. Move it to the main gsdx dialog and make it use the
same descriptions that are used in Linux.
And fix the accurate_blend_unit whitespace formatting.
according to some of the internal functions in GSDevice files, Anisotropic Filtering is only done when paltex is disabled. do the same on the GUI for user awareness.
Removes the checkbox of Anisotropic filtering from the GSDX plugin settings, the checkbox was usually used to enable & disable the AF which is not necessary since there is an option in the drop down list for disabling AF.
the internal function value of "AnisotropicFiltering" has been replaced with "MaxAnisotropy" for detection.
the detection uses the function getconfig("MaxAnisotropy", value) where value 0 means disabled and value is the default value when no value is set in the INI file.
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

Also disabled the gsdx AF options for the OGL renderer (because it's not implemented for that yet).

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.

Added a check box and config code for the fxaa shader.
It's not currently hooked up since the shader setup might get replaced in a day or two.

Probably only of interest to testers (and me). Absolutely do NOT select the reference device even out of extreme morbid curiosity. It's not even very good at being a reference despite being slower than you can probably believe.

Now, a note about the actual issue. Destination alpha tests can be used on the GS as one of the workarounds for a lack of stencils. If you use a destination alpha test and leave alpha writing on, the GS will only write each pixel until you write an alpha value which would fail the test. This works to a point in gsdx without further hacking, but that point is when within a single batch of primitives the same pixels are written multiple times and the destination alpha test is expected to update. I did experimentally make a tight loop updating the stencil with a draw then drawing for one primitive at a time, but it was prohibitively slow (over 80% fps loss, you really don't want to know).
Destination alpha testing cannot be directly implemented in D3D9 or D3D10, but (probably) can in D3D11 (with a speed hit for sure, but I doubt it'll be 80%). I'll be getting a new graphics card and looking into that.
And before some idiot says it, the answer is no. OpenGL does not help.

- 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)

Adding KrossX's Wild Arms text alignment hack to the new dialog box. This hack is actually very interesting for a number of games. It should work well in cases where game designers adjusted everything pixel perfect for the GS, that usually breaks with upscaling.
It should be generalized and renamed later.

Team effort of KrossX and myself:
Finally adding that special game fixes / hack dialog I talked about for a while.
Committing this in several steps to clean up any issues easier.

Let users set software parameters (extra threads and line AA) regardless of currently configured renderer.
Makes testing far easier.

- 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.

- 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 :)

- GSWnd is not implemented, no config dialogs either
- no output, just the null device
- threading classes were not tested (my first experience with pthread)
