Summary of changes...
Fixed menus and HUD for Spyro: A New Beginning and Spyro: the Eternal Night.
Fixed missing dialogs and reduced the VRam usage a bit for Tales of Legendia ("8-bit textures" help a bit more with Vram/speed). Should be playable now in hardware mode. Thanks to rama for figuring it could be hackfixed this way and the initial patch :)
Half-screen fixes for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, X-men Origins: Wolverine, Call of Duty: World at War - Final Fronts.
Modified the Star Wars: Force Unleashed hackfix a bit, shouldn't have the see-thru objects anymore.
Also modified the Metal Gear Solid 3 and Gran Turismo 4 hackfixes as they needed different skip values for each region (PAL/NTSC). Thanx to avih for the region code... and the free C/C++ lessons :P
The hackfix for Sly 3 was still showing stripes for 3-D and two-player modes, fixed for NTSC version now and hopefully works for PAL one too.
Couple GameDB updates after the gif rewrite.

Adjusted the SW Battlefront hackfix for the PAL versions (NTSC-U and PAL versions have the same CRC but use slighty different buffer/texture addresses...)

The Lord of the Rings: the Third Age (Removing fat stripes on screen).
Digimon Rumble Arena 2 (Half screen issue).
Star Wars - The Force Unleashed (Hiding HUD and 3d issues. Not perfect and NTSC-U only, not sure if it works with PAL).
Star Wars Battlefront 1/2 (Huge VRAM usage issue. NTSC-U only, not sure if it works with others).
Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre (Half screen issue and removes the night vision filter which was broken and using a lot of VRAM).
Minimal changes to other CRC hackfixes and GameDB.

GameDB: Onimusha 4: Dawn of Dreams playable again with a patch. Minor other updates.

New define "NO_CRC_HACKS", for testing how games work without hacks easily.
Gets enabled together with the no cache define but can be toggled individually as well.
Also I've been told to mention that these changes are not directly benefiting the end user.
Gamers: This doesn't fix your DragonBall, okay? :p

- 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 :)

Also a few changes for Tekken 5, "City at sunset" stage, hopefully there's nothing else wrong with this game anymore.

- GSWnd is not implemented, no config dialogs either
- no output, just the null device
- threading classes were not tested (my first experience with pthread)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4315 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
GSDx: Reset device on save state load.
GSDx: Made GSRenderer::ResetDevice() actually do the main function in its name and implemented InvalidateTextureCache(). If anything breaks, it's because of this change.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3067 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Finally made some user hacks available in the configuration dialog.
There are no warnings yet, and I don't like the placement either, but that'll have to wait.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2606 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Gave up on the smart m_width / m_height adjustments for now. This just won't work the way I imagined it :/
Using a "common" size of 640*512 instead. This means some odd games might use a wrong output surface again (they always did this on the normal upscaler).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2190 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Reduced the overhead of the new scaler. Instead of just using 1024*1024 blindly, it tries to adapt to games native resolutions.
- Yet another change to IncAge(), since it seems to be (mis)used to do texture invalidation. (Fixes Disgaea 2 when booting through the BIOS)
- Added some comments
Note:
Before working on the texture cache GetDisplayRect(),GetFrameRect() and GetDeviceSize() really need fixing. It's useless to try and find surfaces when not knowing the real size of things.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2174 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Bring back IncAge() for textures to avoid excessive memory usage by some games.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2140 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Fixed many flickering scene change transitions (FF12, Gust games, etc).
- Found more info on how games do some special effects. Preliminary code included, but disabled.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2101 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- More work on the configuration, preparing for some reorganization.
- 8 Bit textures default to off again, since there are issue reports (mainly from ATI users).
- Add a gamefix that allows users to set an amount of "bad" frames to be skipped.
Add gamefix_skipdraw = x to the GSdx.ini to enable. (More work on this soon)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2085 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Added a somewhat more accurate upscale option via GSdx.ini. Not tested much! :p
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2055 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Removed GSTextureFX classes
* Built shaders right into GSState classes, using GSStateDX as an interface, so that all shader caches get auto-destroyed along with GSState.
In addition to being a bit of a code cleanup, it should be a bit more efficient too since all of the extra dereferences to GSState from GSTextureFX have been removed. :)

* Software mode seems to work fine. Suspend and resume emulation work nicely, without flaws.
* Hardware DX9 mode suspends but displays only black after resuming.
* Hardware DX10 status is unknown.

- Automatic texture filtering should be ok now, occasionally point filtering was used. Tested it on the ps2 and figured with no mip levels LoD and minification settings are just ignored altogether.
- Also run a few tests on the gather instruction with the reference rasterizer and found a fatal flaw with it. It returns the four samples for bilinear sampling (in a funny order, which isn't documented of course, x = bl, y = br, z = tr, w = tl), but there is no way to guess which four were selected exactly. Due to some hidden rounding error it might grab different texels than I would when calculating the position of the upper-left texel, of which the fractional part is be used for the interpolation. When the texel positions do not match it leaves annoying discontinuity errors. Oh well...

- trying the dx10.1-only "gather" shader instruction for palletized lookups ("8-bit texture" mode), saves 4 instructions which isn't much but still... (not tested, don't have ati)
- may fix the intel gma "no output" bug (don't have gma either :P)
- and the usual small code optimizations
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1549 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Added interface.cpp (plugin/pcsx2 interface) and savestate.cpp to SPU2ghz, to help clean up SPU2.cpp.
