Fixes an issue with the D3D backends crashing if the configure dialog
is accessed and ok is pressed. The D3Dcompiler dll is freed and a null
pointer is dereferenced.
It might break gsdxgui but GSshutdown really should not be called unless
GSdx is shutting down. GSDumpGUI on Windows provides the same (or
better) functionality.
* Silent Hill 2 doesn't need the CRC hack
* GSRenderer: no need to explicitly set bottom value for r.
* Texture Cache: Removed a check which couldn't possibly enter true
branch.
For some reason some Windows 7 systems (most are unaffected) cannot cope
with LoadLibraryEx and return error code 87 - "The parameter is
incorrect".
Switch to using LoadLibrary instead for any case where Windows 7 is
expected to successfully load the requested dll. Potentially Windows
Vista is also affected.
So let's increase the height. It will increase the memory requirement on some games
v2: try to do it automatically
(not sure it will useful as most game will requires it)
v3: let's back to an hardcoded 1280 size. It generates too much issue
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
The long story:
Game blits FMV far aways of the RT which is actually the input of the RO texture...
Currently GSdx suffers of 2 bugs.
1/ RT is too small
2/ texture isn't properly updated with the rendered value. Texture is invalidated
but it reads back the pixels from the GS memory whereas the correct
value is located on the GPU.
This commit will replace the standard draw by a manual blit. Therefore it avoid
size issue and bad upscaling issue.
v2:
* Use various copy to be more compatible with dx api
* Move all part of the hack info the BlitFMV function
v3: add log message
It often happens the game try to upload the FMV directly which typically
gave a black screen.
Commit fix rules of roses and I hope various black screen FMV
Performance impact must be tested, and I'm afraid of strange texture cache behavior.
V2: check the size of the transfer too
V3: add support of 16 bits format
V4: avoid division by 0
Using D3DX11 requires the end user to install the DirectX redist files.
Switch to using D3DCompile, and distribute D3DCompiler_47.dll for
Windows Vista, 7 and 8 users (Windows 8.1 onwards supplies
D3DCompiler_47.dll with the OS).
It actually removes the previous hack that read the full target.
Unfortunately snowblind engine game uses big target so the read is very big too (1280x448)
which is killer for the perf. Whereas the game requires only 24x12 texels
Give a 2x speed boost on Champion of Norrath !!!
Games uses very special texture with a lots of repeating.
It is much faster to send the full texture rather than trying to partially invalidate it.
On my gs dump:
FPS: 29 => 68 !
ReadFile reports that the DVD is reading from the end of file when
attempting to read any layer 1 sectors.
Use the FSCTL_ALLOW_EXTENDED_DASD_IO ioctl to prevent the file system
driver from carrying out boundary checks.
cdvdgigaherz only determines whether there is no disc, a CD, a single
layer DVD or dual layer DVD in the drive. It does not detect whether a
CD/DVD is a PS2 CD/DVD or not.
Fix the missing TOCs.
The calculated size values were off by one for single layer DVDs, off by
two for dual layer PTP DVDs, and just wrong for OTP DVDs.
Usually the IOCTL_DISK_GET_LENGTH_INFO ioctl will have succeeded already.
Only 1 IOCTL_DVD_READ_STRUCTURE ioctl call is necessary for determining
the DVD media type and layer break address. All the necessary
information is already present in the layer 0 physical descriptor.
For dual layer DVDs, CDVDgetDualInfo() should return the first layer 1
LSN, not the last layer 0 LSN, which is what GetLayerBreakAddress()
returns. This matches what the internal ISO reader returns.
Also, PTP DVDs should return a value of 1 for the media type, not 2.
Finally, adjust the CDVDgetDualInfo() return value so PCSX2 correctly
recognises dual layer DVDs.
Basically I ran
find . -name "*.vcxproj" -exec sed -i -e 's/_xp//' {} \;
This will likely break XP, but it paves the way on Windows for a PCSX2
that does not require the DirectX redistributables to be installed for
Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 users. Windows Vista and 7 users will still require
the DirectX redistributable files for XInput and XAudio, though PCSX2
should still be capable of running if a user does not actually use either
of them.
All GL4 extensions supported by DX10 class GPU will be soon mandatory
Namely:
* GL_ARB_copy_image
* GL_ARB_texture_barrier
* GL_ARB_clip_control
* GL_ARB_direct_state_access
* GL_ARB_separate_shader_objects
* GL_ARB_buffer_storage
There are likely few games (RE4) which constantly change the FBW register value causing the framebuffer width to be updated at every interval. Adding a safe limit (512) similar to frame buffer height would prevent such constant changes of the framebuffer width when FBW changes once again to an even lower value.
Valid values for png_compression_level are from 0 (no compression) to 9
(max compression). The default is 1.
v2: Use zlib Z_BEST_SPEED (1) and Z_BEST_COMPRESSION (9) defines.
So let's not specify it as a build dependency.
Also remove some unnecessary manual library linkage and remove the
wsWidgets GUI property sheet, which does nothing useful.
Feedback fix, when more than two gamepad are used simultaneously.
Change all 'this->' by 'm_'
fix on the hack sixaxis pressure
Modification of the size (1000x760 -> 1000x730)
