The following games in the crc list are not used anywhere so
we can clean this list up. If some are needed in the future then
they can be re added.
List of removed games:
CaptainTsubasa,
Dororo,
HarvestMoon,
Jak1,
JamesBondEverythingOrNothing,
NamcoXCapcom,
SDGundamGGeneration,
SeintoSeiya,
SengokuBasara,
SilentHill2,
SilentHill3,
Siren,
TalesofDestiny,
VF4,
VF4EVO.
The crc hack broke graphics ingame, causing flickering/transparent
textures and other similar issues.
On a side note the game experiences upscaling issues that can be fixed
with Half Pixel offset hack.
Update it to the version found at
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-classic-samples , which is in an
MIT licensed repo, and add the LICENSE file (edited to remove the SIL
Open Font LICENSE part since that doesn't apply).
Some modifications have been made to reduce the diff/stop git
complaining (not including any file that wasn't in the previous version
and removing the related header includes in streams.h, and fixing some
but not all of the whitespace issues).
Move CRC hacks do DX level.
Hack that fixes shadows:
Shadows/glitchy black ground textures can be fixed with Preload Frame Data.
Hack that removed vertical stripes:
D3D10/11 correctly emulates texture shuffle but also needs depth support.
Don't skip draw calls on Jackie Chan Adv and SVC Chaos,
fixes regressions on Jackie Chan Adv and SVC Chaos.
Gregory: The correct fix would be to trace all textures writes to
be sure of the source. But it is a much bigger work.
Purge Sengoku Basara crc hacks. Texture shuffle is emulated correctly on
d3d11/ogl. d3d9 skips the bad draw call.
Move Eternal Poison crc hack to d3d level. Not needed on ogl since
the game is emulated correctly.
Move hack that removes texture shuffle for Demon Stoneback back to ogl level,
half screen bottom issue remains.
Extent CRC hack for The Getaway and The Getaway Black Monday to work on
EU regions.
Move CRC hack that removed shadows to Aggressive, shadows are misaligned
when upscaling - can be fixed with HPO. We can use the hack as a
speedhack for Aggressive state.
Add correct FBP code for Sly 2 E3 Demo. CRC hack should work properly now.
Purge God of War 1/2 CRC hacks that fixed/removed the vertical red lines.
No longer needed since the issue is fixed accross all renders.
Also useless to be kept for speedhacks.
Texture Shuffle changes:
Always Enable Texture shuffle on D3D10/11.
Previously Texture shuffle was enabled if CRC hack
level was below Full, this was kinda not good since
D3D also relies on CRC hacks on Full so you could either
stick with texture shuffle or crc hacks.
Texture shuffle is not supported on D3D9, however we can do a partial
port where instead of vertical lines with the effect we get the effect
on the entire screen. Better than nothing I suppose.
Ported some of the code from OpenGL to D3D
( just a copy - paste job :) ),
part of the code misses a dedicated shader but we can still
use it to fix various issues on many games.
List of affected games tested so far:
The Godfather, Final Fight Streetwise, The Suffering Ties that Bind,
Urban Chaos have their vertical lines issues fixed
(highly possible for other games as well), MGS and Stolen see an improvement
but they are still broken without crc hacks. Other games that suffered
similar issues are probably affected as well.
Channel Shuffle changes:
Update Channel Shuffle detection. A lot of games should see an improvement,
MGS, Urban Chaos, Stolen have their top left corner issues resolved.
Other games should be affected as well that use similar logic.
They still miss a shader so some effects are still broken/show glitches
but it's a nice improvement for D3D users.
Shared changes:
Texture Shuffle and Channel shuffle have been moved to their
own dedicated functions. Should make things a bit cleaner.
Move part of the code for Texture Shuffle to GSRendererHW to be shared
across all HW renderers, should aboid copy paste/duplicate code.
Replace/remove an old crc hack that was used to fix the red vertical
lines issue, the hack is no longer needed. The new hack removes depth
effects on D3D only.
Note: The game has another vertical lines issue that can be fixed with
texture shuffle on D3D.
Add comments to Simple2000Vol114 explaining what the hacks do.
Merge identical code for Spyro Games in to one to avoid duplicate code.
Rename hacks name for Jak series from OO_Jak to OO_JakGames since there
are multiple games added.
This follows PR #2330.
Add some missing regions: Tomb Raider Legend JP,
StarWars Force Unleashed EU, SuperMan Returns EU, Valkyrie Profile 2 FR.
Rename GT3/Concept titles, they were incorrect.
Adjust Harley Davidson region id from NoRegion to US.
Add some missing regions to automatic mipmapping:
FIFA 03 US, FIFA 04 EU, FIFA 05 EU.
Reformat a few comments.
Add "Default" nametag for default list options for the hacks: Sprite,
Round Sprite, GL Advanced settings, HPO.
Should help users know which options are the default ones with less
confusion.
Add CRC id for FFXII US, SFEX3 EU,
GT4 CH and GT4 Online Beta US.
Adjust BullyCC region from US to EU.
Add Missing regions for Ratchet & Clank,
Ace Combat, Destroy All Humans and Soul Reaver
series to Automatic Mipmapping.
Removes GT4/Tourist Trophy CRC hacks. The hack had already been moved to
aggressive due to VRAM spike issues, but is no longer necessary at all
due to the in-game brightness/contrast setting issue being moved to
behind the frame buffer conversion hack for Direct3D and being resolved for OpenGL.
Move hacks that disabled shadows to DX level since OpenGL renders
shadows properly with Depth Emulation.
Some other upscaling issues appear with the disabled hack like a small
black border on the bottom of the screen or some ui elements but those
can be fixed with TC X,Y Offset hack.
Previously, the calculation for the size of data to be loaded was done
based on the rendering target buffer size and scaling multiplier, which
was totally wrong. This led to different resolutions having different
load sizes while the size of the real GS memory is common regardless of
the scaling variancies.
Hence use the default rendering target buffer size for the load size
independent of the scaling values. I've also removed a buffer height saturation
code which seemed unreliable.
Note: The accurate version of the code can be enabled using the macro
provided in config.h (which is more intensive on resources), the current
code goes along with the approach of maintaining a decent performance
level along with a formidable accuracy.
Avoid using the IOCTL_DVD_START_SESSION and IOCTL_DVD_END_SESSION ioctls
- it's not necessary to obtain an Authentication Grant ID (AGID) before
requesting the DVD physical format layer descriptor.
Adjust region id for BT2.
Move the sky texture(depth) hack back to Partial level only for the EU
regions. Effect is still not rendered correctly and causes a half
screen bottom issue.
Add R&C3 EU to Automatic Mipmapping.
Previously the limit was 1000, now 10000 in the GUI. It should help in
some rare cases where a higher number is needed without the need of ini
editing and value reset issues caused by the GUI.
Previously if HW hacks were enabled Merge Sprite was active(if checked) on
native resolution even if the GUI option was disabled, which in result
caused glitches in games on native resolution.
This should address that issue.
