The game still has a bunch of depth and other issues even on gl and it
doesn't play nice with the blur effect as well. Perhaps the hacks can be
changed to work better but for now enable it on native as well.
Fixes ground corrupt textures caused by the hack on the EU version.
US works fine with skip 5 but not 4. Didn't spot any regressions on both
so far. Might need extra testing by users.
Idea is to allow Alpha Stencil to work with Fast Date.
Let Fast Date run for the supported calls since it's more accurate, let
Alpha Stencil take care of the rest.
This might fix some issues where Alpha Stencil caused some issues making
it a bit more accurate.
It fixes a bunch of shadow/transparency issues.
Fast DATE doesn't rely on the gui option and is always on.
Confirmed fixed issues: Persona 3 shadows on d3d11,
Digital Devil Saga Transparency d3d9/11.
Fast accurate date works the same/similar to OpenGL.
Confirmed fixed issues: DBZ BT3 ground shadows, Fifa Street 1 shadows
on all d3d renders as well.
Also this option doesn't cause other transparency issues like the
Alpha Stencil hack.
Note: If Alpha Stencil is enabled Fast Date and Fast Accurate Date will
be disabled.
Note2: Full Accurate Date is not implemented so the code fallbacks to
Fast mode instead.

This will probably be the last feature d3d9 gets before getting purged.
Move Enable User Hacks at the top. Otherwise spacing looks weird.
Large Framebuffer should be next to Allow 8 bit textures.
Move Accurate Date and Accurate Blending at the bottom (similar to windows).
Suggested by Gregory.
Change the checkbox to a drop down list Off, Fast, Full.
Off and Full do the same as before, the Fast option is new. Most of the
time users don't actually need full Accurate Date so why not reduce that
cost and use a fast mode instead, plus it can also be used on a gpu with
a limited driver. Also change the default value to Fast instead of Off.
Always enable unscale point and line hack on upscaled resolutions, and
purge the gui option.
It was discussed in the past with Gregoy that it can be enabled without
causing any issues which will be beneficial to getting rid of 1 less
option and fixing a bunch of fmv issues without relying on a gui toggle.
Fix GSVector4i::compare64 function by adjusting the number of iterations
needed to cover the comparison of all the elements of the input arrays,
where the number of bytes to compare is indicated in the size parameter
of the function.
The function is used only in GSdx-TC to compare CLUT arrays.
On one hand this fix closes the recent #2706 and possibly the color
regressions indicated in #2702 (which were both introduced with the new
PaletteMap mechanism, which partially replaced the GSVector4i::update
logic with the bugged GSVector4i::compare64).
On the other hand this might impact long standing wrong texture cache
lookup when palette was involved with 8-bit palette disabled (to be
verified which ones).
Close#2713Fixes#2706Fixes#2715
Fixes right half screen issue on TalesOfLegendia. UI elements of the
screen are properly emulated with depth emulation on gl (possibly fixed
by
1cc696ab31).
Shadows will be glitchy if crc hack level is below partial level.
I'm not even sure if the hack is useful at all anymore since it
introduces issues now.
Issue #2692
The code was never working properly ( tested by @tadanokojin ) so let's
clean up and remove it. If someone actually wishes to maintain it then
they can re add it and update the code to a functional stage.
Cutie Chinese comments, they were removed in commit
21522e71b2
It's better to have google translated comments than nothing, at least we
have something to go on when doing future testing.
Also ghosting and blur crc hacks might need to be updated as they may
not be necessary on native res only.
List: GSC_Tekken5, GSC_TombRaiderUnderWorld, GSC_XE3, GSC_AceCombat4,
GSC_SoTC, GSC_ResidentEvil4.
Note: I left GSC_ValkyrieProfile2 in there because it might need to be
re enabled for dx, someday will look in to it when I'm up for the task.
This pull request is for the pending reorganization of the folder structure on GSdx,
making it better organized and easier to work with.
Also remove unused GSTextureFX.cpp file.
Enabled caching of clut copies with PaletteMap also in the case 8-bit texture is disabled, which is the default (on #2344 the caching of clut copies and palette textures was done only when 8-bit texture was enabled).
Brings moderate speedups ~10% in the most concitated parts of the ZoE2 Anubis benchmark, but may improve performance in all the cases when there are many Source objects created with clut copies to be stored.
The quality of the comments has been improved to better highlight the mechanics of the caching system.
Removed crc id 0x7D4EA48F and mentions of that id and it's duplicates. The id is from a multiloader when packing images, and not an actual crc id from a game(s).
This follows the 4th point of #2310.
The idea was to rework the current palette texture management to improve performances with games that uses multiple palettes for the same data texture.
The new management shows small to none performances improvement in almost every game in terms of FPS, and it lowers the GPU BUS usage by some percentage points in games like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (9% to 7%) which uses many palettes.
The hot topic is that the performances in Zone Of The Enders 2 skyrocketed (2x), because of the fact that the game uses many palettes and a small number of textures to render it's effects.
For more detailed information check the PR #2344
Some users get confused and change the setting to a recommended option.
This can cause some issues when switching different hw render types.
Most of the time users shouldn't change the option and leave it on
Automatic.
Also remove ICO from crc Aggressive tooltip.
Only impacts custom resolution, there used to be a much weaker algorithm
which doens't consider scissor sizes and gives a minor performance boost
in costs of accuracy (which was used when large framebuffer was disabled
in custom resolutions)
I've removed this as the performance tradeoff is rather negligible after
the implementation of #1942 and the older one is no longer necessary.
Also added an extra parameter for considering the horizontal scissor,
I'm not sure where this might be useful so this is disabled in code for
now till I discover a testcase where this helps or run it on random data
ensuring it's working properly.
Also porting this to the general scaling function might help with memory
spikes which are experienced when large framebuffer is enabled.
We can't do a full port because channel shuffle and depth sampling need
to be ported to d3d but at the very least we can do a partial port that
skips the bad draw calls.
This way we can remove all the remaining crc hacks for ICO in GSHwHacks.
This should make things a bit easier for users when picking resolutions.
Native (PS2)
2x Native (~720p)
3x Native (~1080p)
4x Native (~1440p 2K)
5x Native (~1620p 3K)
6x Native (~2160p 4K)
8x Native (~2880p 5K)
Custom (Not Recommended)
Change the code so that some crc hacks on some games that remove
ghosting/blur issues on upscaled resolutions are disabled on native
resolution if crc hack level is below Aggressive state (most of the time).
They aren't needed then so why don't we aim for better accuracy.
Let's keep the file clean and use 1 type of formatting and not a bunch.
It's easier to read this way and looks tidy.
Also correct some commented out code in Texture Sampler.
Hack will no longer be active on Intel or AMD gpus.
Also remove UserHacks_disable_NV_hack. sprite hack
basically does the same thing so it's kinda useless.
Some values were incorrect, now I'm no expert but looking at the code
and behavior seemed a bit wrong compared to gl.
Improves d3d rendering on Sonic Unleashed, the purple screen is gone
matching it with gl visuals.
dfmt is not supported but we can use the variable to select the
frame buffer format and later disable writting to the alpha channel.
MGS3 sees an improvement, and possibly other games as well.
So far didn't spot any regressions.

Remove useless ATI_SUCKS define in tfx shader.It wasn't used anywhere outside of the shader.
Enhance the skipdraw hack by allowing skipdraw to skip a range of draw
calls.
For example: When the broken effects are at frames 90-100, the default
skipdraw always skips 0-100, possibly skipping several functioning
effects as well. By enhancing the skipdraw feature, it is now possible
to skip just frames 90-100.
For the example given above set the first box to 90 and the second box
to 100 to skip frames 90-100.
coauthor:turtleli (Linux GUI + tidy/simplify Windows GUI code)
Decrease spacing between Hardware Settings and Texture Filtering
slightly. It was a bit too much before,
Adjusted spacing to be equal between options, some had incorrect
spacing.
Maybe Accurate Date and Blending Unit Accuracy can be swapped.
Makes all the tabs scrollable, which makes the dialog more usable (the
OK button should always be present unless the screen is absurdly small).
Only checked on GTK3.
Use hexpand instead of expand, and use margin-start instead of
margin-left (margin-left is deprecated in GTK+ 3.12). IMO it looks
better this way.
Also, set the properties using gtk_widget_set_* instead of g_object_set.

Move a hack that removed burning/hot air effect. The effect is rendered properly but causes slowdowns so it's best to move it to aggressive for now.
Add comments explaining what the crc hacks do.

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:

JamesBondEverythingOrNothing,
NamcoXCapcom,
SDGundamGGeneration,
SeintoSeiya,
SengokuBasara,
SilentHill2,
SilentHill3,

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 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.
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.
Remove Aggressive CRC hacks for SSX 3. Was used to remove the red lines
on older versions but no longer needed since the issue has been fixed.
Offered 1fps or less speed bump but it's not worth keeping for such a
minimal increase.
Merge all FFX CRC hacks in to one. They share the same code so it's
better to have one to avoid duplicate code.
Move CRC hack for Bleach Blade Battlers to Aggressive. It removes the
character shading. It can be used as a speed hack since the gains are
quite good from it. Around 15-30%.
Add missing CRC ids for Soul Calibur 2 and 3.
Move CRC hacks to DX level. They are not needed anymore on OpenGL since
Depth Emulation fixes depth issues (shadows).
Move CRC hack to Partial that fix the half screen
bottom issue since the effect is not rendered correctly.
Move CRC hack to Aggressive. These hacks are only
needed when running upscaled resolution. They skip the
blur effect which cause ghosting and some other screen issues.
Side effect is they also remove the channel effect on OpenGL
which is emulated correctly so let's put them on Aggressive.
Comment out a hack, it's unknown what the hack does atm.
If there are new issues then it will be added back.
Added comments what the hacks do.
Partial port for channel shuffle effect to Direct3D for Tekken5.
The effect is skipped and not rendered but now the top left
screen glitch has been resolved.
Note: At least Minimum CRC level is required for this to work.
Add hidden option "UserHacks_DisableNVhack" to disable
the Nvidia hack on Direct3D which added black lines on the right
and bottom of the screen. Could be useful for Intel and AMD GPUs.
A better solution would be to add Vendor Id detection instead,
but this will do for now.
To disable the Nvidia hack add UserHacks_DisableNVhack=1 in GSdx.ini
Fixes glitchy water in Rogue Galaxy in Direct3D when the hack is
enabled.
Fixes Test Drive car reflection in Direct3D when the hack is enabled.
OTher games are affected as well.
Adds automatic HW mipmapping support.
It relies on CRC ids so if a game does
not have their CRC id but needs mipmapping
it will not work until the id is added.
Add GUI menu and tooltip for Automatic mipmap
"Automatic (Default)"
This option will be default option from now on.
Rename "Very Slow" text option to "Slow" for full mipmap
as it caused the text not to fit properly in the menu.
Credits also go to @RedPanda4552 and @ssakash for helping
with the code.
Rearrange the two columns of HW hacks, new arrangement
is done in alphabetical order on Windows and Linux.
Rename some hacks on Linux to match the windows version.
Some other minor tweaks as well.
The following patch grays out the configure button when there's no
configuration dialog available for the selected codec. What's the use in
clicking it when no dialog pops up? :P (I've been tricked by it lots of
times)
Add HW Hack that enables Framebuffer Conversion on the CPU instead of the GPU.
Can fix broken textures on games but at the cost of slower performance.
List of games: Harry Potter games, FIFA Street games.
Games like Call of Duty, Kung fu Panda might also be affected as well as others
especially on Direct3D.
Add HW Hack GUI option on Windows/Linux for 4-bit and 8-bit Framebuffer conversion hack
named "Frame Buffer Conversion".
Regression was introduced in #1954
GSdx caused the emulator to crash when the renderer was restarted.
It may have affected older gpus from nvidia/amd
with older OpenGL support as well.
The swap interval function must be called on the same thread that
rendering takes place on. This fixes an issue where the turbo speed and
frame limiter hotkeys fail to disable vsync when the OpenGL renderer is
used.
Using range loops where possible (correctly).
Using auto where possible (minimize code changes whenever it's decided to change back to a std container).
Use more efficient erase pattern (where possible).
Minor code tweaks.
PCSX2 sends a negative value (-1) to GSdx when adaptive mode is
specified for Vsync, this mode is exclusive to OpenGL at the moment
and is unimplemented on the D3D11 renderer. Also the present function
of swapchain only accepts values from 0 to 4 as parameter, hence
passing negative values to the function is undefined behavior.
So let's fallback to standard synchronization method on D3D11 when
PCSX2 requests for adaptive mode.
Fix CRC hacks on PAL version.
PAL version will no longer experience very high brightness/contrast
issues on stages in hw mode caused by an incorrect CRC hack.
Moved a CRC hack back to OpenGL mode only for the PAL version
because texture shuffling does not work properly on PAL games.
Forgot to replace `IDC_TEXT` with `IDC_VALUE` macros, due to this the
text containing the name of the options was being updated with the
current value of the option instead of updating the text designated for
holding the values.
DBY isn't an offset to the frame memory but rather an offset to read
output circuit inside the frame memory, hence the top offset should also
be calculated for the total height of the frame memory. Fixes software
mode regression in Beyond Good and Evil.
Also handle cases when GetFrameRect() is called without any paramerer to
avoid an illegal value access violation on the DISP register.
output 1 strip of 2 triangles instead of 2 strips of 1 triangle.
Potentially it would reduce the geometry shader overhead. And it
might avoid a middle line in sprite in some AMD GPU/driver/OS
bad combination

* Cast return value of IsEof() to bool. (Avoids int -> bool performance
warning error)
* Cast field and index to the required parameter type of AppendRawData.
The sprite geometry shader was still being used even if the sprites were
converted on the CPUs.
Convert all sprites using the GPU - the fix isn't ideal, but it'll
likely have to do unless someone feels like porting over more of the
OpenGL changes to the D3D11 renderer.
Closes#1921.
Class member variables are initialised in order of declaration in the
class definition. Move native_buffer to the top of the class definition
to avoid initialising m_width and m_height to random values.
Move the custom resolution scaling code to a separate subroutine and
allow future RT buffer resize calls when the buffer size isn't enough.
(Example: when a game's CRTC/Framebuffer size changes. The older code
didn't consider such cases)
Added a more robust buffer size calculation mechanism for custom
resolutions. Improves performance in higher resolutions for games
which don't need a big buffer. There's a great boost in performance
at GS limited scenarios.
I don't even feel there's a need for the large framebuffer option right
now, For future - I plan on making the large framebuffer enabled version
as the default as the overhead is there only at situations when it's
necessary. Until then keeping the original code just to be on the safe
side in case any issue pops up.
An EOF only occurs after attempting to read past the end of the file.
Account for this correctly, which fixes a potential infinite loop when
reading back an xz compressed GS dump.
Add the bitfield structure of the undocumented SYNCV register,
potentially might be useful in proper height determination of the output
circuit for some weird games which still get it wrong but still haven't
figured out how it might be useful. Maybe some sort of black magic
formula with the vertical synchronization values?
The differential phase value seems to closely resemble the display
height value of the video modes (480 for NTSC, 576 for PAL) but after
some investigating into the differential phase, I have no clue on how
they might be even related. Hopefully the mystery will be unveiled in
the near future.
Reduce disk space. Easy to share.
It would be nice to port the code to Windows.
libzma code was taken from https://git.tukaani.org/xz.git
Note: only short dumps are supported so far. Big dump will freeze the interface during the compression.
Or will suck all the RAM.
Note2: a multithreaded encoder would badly impact the compression ratio
Thanks to Turtleli for all review comments

Thanks to @colepcsx2 (https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/1896#commitcomment-21858717) for pointing it out!
I also updated the prefix in the inferior video mode detection of GSdx, I'm not even sure why we need the videomode info on the plugin side, might be useful someday.
The shadeboost options text (Contrast, Brightness, Saturation) were not
grayed out when shadeboost was disabled, it was sort of inconsistent
compared to the behavior of external shader, so added grayouts to them
when shadeboost is disabled.
Also changed "OpenGL Very Advanced Custom Settings" to "OpenGL Advanced
Settings", the verbosity didn't help much in my opinion.
Split code in 2 parts
* Base class (GSWndEGL) that implement the core EGL and GL context
* Derived class (GSWndEGL_X11/GSWndEGL_WL) that implement the backend to handle native resources
Note: Most backend code is only useful for GSopen1/PS1 mode. GSopen2 only requires
the AttachNativeWindow implementation
Code is based around EGL_EXT_platform extension that allow to select the platform at runtime.
Note: I think the extension was integrated in EGL 1.5
The X11 backend was mostly converted to XCB
The wayland backend is only a placeholder for future code
I don't know if MS windows is/could be supported with EGL_EXT_platform API
Code validated on Mesa. Proprietary drivers aren't yet tested.
Moved a CRC hack to Aggressive that can cause or fix VRAM and RAM spikes.
This way people can switch between each config if they experience problems with either.
Varies on userconfig , game version and maybe hardware.
Added missing CRC game version for GT4 pal.
Note: The issue might be the same on GT3 and GTConcept , the code might
need to be removed for those games as well.
Hack was used to remove garbage data rectangles from popping up on screen when objects and characters were added to or removed from the world.
This issue is now being handled by OI_DoubleHalfClear in GSRendererHW.cpp, so the hack is no longe necessary and has been removed.
Moves Resident Evil 4 hack to Aggressive level as it is no longer
required to fix any issues, but does offer a decent speed boost.
Moves The Getaway & The Getaway Black Monday CRC hack to Full level, as the issue can be resolved
when using the OpenGL Hardware renderer.

fix indentation in gsdx-res.xml
add dependency in cmake
remove old res/glsl/fxaa.fx symlink
add tfx.cl for OpenCL support on Linux
v4, v5
fix cmake indentation
It is done automatically on Linux. Strings are much
better with this NULL char ;)
All credits go to turtleli
v2: increase resize instead of push_back NULL char
add checkboxes for the 2 "new" hacks
Wrap gs memory & merge postprocessing sprite
add tooltip for OpenGL options
v2: based on turtleli feedback
use gtk_scrolled_window_set_propagate_natural_height on GTK 3.22+
use the nicer GTK_CHECK_VERSION macro
Move GL_ARB_copy_image to optional for OpenGL SW render.
It will allow Ivy Bridge to work with OpenGL SW as it's not required.
Sandy Bridge is not yet tested , would be nice if someone could test.
Clip Control is only used for the HW renderer.
It will help Nvidia DX10 GPU on Windows. Potentially old AMD GPU too.
Unfortunately Ivy bridge still misses texture copy
Note on Linux, you can use the free Mesa driver.
Otherwise, it is time to save money for a future upgrade :)
Adds merge sprite hack to GSDx hacks dialog
And ports merge sprite hack to Direct3D renderers.
Special thanks to my keyboards Ctrl, c and v buttons for all their hard
work in porting this hack.
Ports the "Unscale Point and Line" hack to the Direct3D11 Hardware renderer.
And enables the "Unscale Point and Line" hack for Custom Resolutions with Direct3D11 and OpenGL.
Adds Windows GUI elements of the split texture filtering options.
Bilinear Texture Filtering is moved to the top section of the main GSdx window,
and Trilinear Filtering is moved to Hacks.
Adds Texture Filtering Of Display option to the Shader dialog window Windows UI.
Updates the layouts of the Shader and OSD dialog windows to more closely resemble the Linux GUI.
Reorganizes Hacks dialog window.
Adds UI elements for the Memory Wrapping and HPO v2/Special commits
Adds advanced OpenGL functions "Geometry Shader" and "Image Load Store" to the Windows UI.
Renames "Configure Hacks" to "Advanced Settings and Hacks", to more closely resemble the Linux GUI.
Adds GS Memory Wrapping hack to Windows. Enabling the hack will fix cut-off cutscenes in Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and Thrillville.
Ace Combat 4 CRC hack removes clouds for a good speed boost, which removes both 3D clouds(invisible with Hardware renderers, but cause slowdown) and 2D background clouds.
Removes blur from player airplane.
This hack also removes rockets, shows explosions(invisible without CRC hack) as garbage data, causes flickering issues with the HUD, and in some (night) missions removes the HUD altogether.
The CRC hack has been moved to the aggressive level.
Aggressive is misspeled several times in the file, this has been adressed.
Changes to the dependencies of the generated logo files did not trigger
a rebuild of the files. Use add_custom_command instead of
execute_process so build dependencies can be specified.
Also prevent the generated files from polluting the source directory.
The pixdata format loader has been removed from recent versions of
gdk2-pixbuf, so the logo doesn't load. Avoid preprocessing the data and
leave the logo as an embedded bitmap file.
Allow the output circuit saturation to take place at cases where one of the output circuit is enabled with frame mode rendering, I'm not sure it would be safe to allow saturations when both of the output circuits are enabled with frame mode rendering. Unlike field mode rendering, frame mode doesn't use identical rectangles at same co-ordinates for output in two alternating fields and potentially they could use a much bigger output size when both of the output circuits are enabled and are separated without any intersection. So let's limit the saturation to only the cases where we detect a single output circuit for frame mode rendering.
Fixes a regression in Devil May Cry 3 and Sky Gunner.
If a user switches renderer they also have to remember to change the CRC
hack level for the best user experience with the selected renderer.
This commit adds a new automatic CRC level that autoselects the
recommended CRC level for the selected renderer, so that a user doesn't
have to make the change manually.

If OpenGL software is the saved ini renderer and F9 is pressed to toggle
to the hardware renderer, depth emulation will be disabled. This fixes
that issue.
GSdx ogl: SSO Workaround for AMD buggy drivers
All 2017 drivers are now blacklisted.
The BSOD/crash issue is still there so don't set Blending Accuracy to None!
Shortened the message in the console making it more appealing.
-1 is only returned when there is an encoding error, and the va_list
argument is indeterminate after being passed to vsnprintf.
Use the return value to determine the buffer length, and call va_end and
then va_start before vsnprintf is called again.
ICO uses a depth of field effect for the fog. Depth is extracted
into the alpha channel of a texture. And then used as blending factor.
You need a 1:1 texture/pixel mapping otherwise you will line at boundaries.
In order to extract the DoF, ICO moves the depth buffer around the GS
memory. Memory moves are implemented in the not-scaled world. It means
that we can't have the above 1:1 ratio. And we don't know anymore that
data are coming from the current depth buffer.
The solution: I reused an HLE channel shader to read the depth buffer directly.
This way I have the guarantee that pixel/depth are aligned.
Close#1816
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
Alpha test should only be disabled when writes to all of the alpha bits in the Framebuffer are masked. Fixes a regression in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 scouter image rendering.
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
Bilinear applies to all renderer
* Common code done in GSVertexTrace
* Extend it with forced but sprite (trade-off between linear/upscale glitches)
* Linux GUI option was moved at the top with the renderer selection
Trilinear is moved to OGL hack
close#1837
Thanks to Flatout for the review and feedback.
It will take care to update the Window GUI :)
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.
