Otherwise you have a write before read typical race condition. It works
most of the time because textures are stored in temporary buffers (aka
texture cache). So the race condition requires texture invalidation in the mix.
I hope the perf impact will be small enough.
Fix#1691
Blood Will Tell: gray scale effect description
Frame is renderer in 0x700
Sync 0x700 (RT will be used as input)
Foreach page of frame
// The missing Sync was this one. You can't copy new data to 0x2800
// until you finish the rendering that use 0x2800 as input texture
// (AKA end of this foreach loop)
Sync 0x2800 (not the first iteration, texture will be used as a RT)
Copy page from 0x700+offset to 0x2800
Sync 0x2800 (RT will be used as input)
Render Effect line1 from 0x2800 to 0x700
It allow to do the division before the size multiplication
It avoid a float overflow if T is too big.
Old behavior: (T * size) / Q
New behavior: (T / Q) * size
Performance Note:
* Rcp was replaced by a slow division (more accurate)
* At least we avoid a 2nd loop on the vertex buffer
It helps on Pro Soccer Club and Galerians Ash rendering
Tric Note:
SPRITE must be handled differently because the 'q' of first vertex could
be invalid
Typical bug, missing/wrong texture on the SW renderer but working fine on the HW renderer
Debugged on ATV Quad Power Racing 2 but I suspect couple of game are impacted
Bug description:
GSdx flatten the Q value of sprite. So m_vt.m_eq.q is true when Q(2N+1) are the same.
Q(2N) values could be random. The fix replaces Q0 by Q1 for the uniform Q value.
Some PSX games seem to store image data of the drawing results in an undeterminate area out of range from the current context buffer. At such cases, calculate the height of both the frame memory rectangles combined.
What happens on "Crash bash" -
* At first draw, scissoring is limited to SCAY0- 0 & SCAY1- 255
* At second draw, scissoring is limited to SCAY0- 255 & SCAY0-511
Previously, we limited the height to the value of one single output texture, so instead of that let's calculate the total height of both the two buffers combined to prevent such issues.
Previously, the height of the frame offset was also considered for the total height of the texture which was obviously wrong as the portion before the offset value isn't part of the frame memory.
* Always do +1 before the draw call
* Prefix texture name with i (as input) to keep them before the FB
Goal is to ensure that all renderers share the same draw call value.
* Use texraw for the unconverted texture (keep index fmt)
=> avoid bad filename order with the multiple texture layers
* add the real mipmap address
* Use a nice string format
Manual gives all setup to upload a palette from the host. But nothing forbid to render
directly in the palette buffer. (GS rule nb 1, there is no rule ^^)
Fix Virtua Fighter 2 dark colors
However I'm not sure we can fix HW renderer. Rendering is done on the GPU but palette
handling is done on the CPU... So we need to read back data (ouch, and slow). A quick
test didn't get the expected results. Potentially there are others bugs (aka not gonna
happen on the HW renderer)
Try to avoid random black screen frame
v2: don't force the preload hack on the frame
It creates a ghost image over FMV
v3: support offset within a frame
CID 146839 (#1 of 1): Explicit null dereferenced (FORWARD_NULL)11. var_deref_model: Passing null pointer fb_pages to UsePages, which dereferences it.
CID 146840 (#1 of 1): Explicit null dereferenced (FORWARD_NULL)11. var_deref_model: Passing null pointer zb_pages to UsePages, which dereferences it.
* Prevent a potential null pointer deference in ```void GSRendererSW::UsePages()```
A couple of useless members were removed too.
Also fix wnd initialization
Coverity:

18. uninit_use: Using uninitialized value wnd[i].
The idea is to easily extract bad frame from gs dump and to compare them
with the sw renderer.
Here the summary of the options:
savet => dump all input textures
save => dump the render target
savez => dump the depth buffer
savef => dump the frame
* Dump context before the increase of s_n
=> aligned with the global call number
* Don't print colclip not supported when it is optimized away
* dettach the input texture when it is useless
=> avoid to show a wrong texture in the debugger
Group opengl calls into a nice name.
Apitrace shows them in a tree format that support folding. Previously it
was a long flat list (10K-40K of lines by frame)
I align the call number with the internal s_n variable. This way it is
easy to map GSdx dump output with the GL debugger :)
