The DVD layer 0 sector count is stored in the Volume Space Size field of
the Primary Volume Descriptor on DVD layer 0. This value is the same as
the total sector count for a single layer DVD and the first layer 1 LSN
of a dual layer DVD.
Let's use that to determine the layer 1 start LSN instead of using the
brute force approach. Since this approach is much faster than the
previous approach, the layer break is no longer cached.
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

Set VU0/1 to Nearest by default to Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam in order to fix the graphics (like other Tony Hawk's episodes using the engine by Neversoft).
Set VU0/1 to Nearest by default to Tony Hawk's Proving Ground in order to fix the graphics (like other Tony Hawk's episodes using the engine by Neversoft).
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 !
Persona 4 cheats file and the cheats folder a redundant, as the
installer doesn't use this folder, but creates a seperate cheats folder
in My Documents/PCSX2 and the Binary release creates a cheats folder the
first time you start up PCSX2.
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
