Idea is to replace Ad with As when alpha write is masked,
then expand/let blend mix, accumulation blend non recursive blend or hw clr blend to
do the blending with Ad swapped as As.
We are doing this to try to bring some originally higher blending modes to lower levels
where we can do the draws with less texture barriers instead (gl/vk),
as for d3d11 this allows to run blending on the draws since previously the cases weren't handled properly,
it will be slower on d3d11 since we will be reading the frame buffer but it's better than nothing.
D3D11: It is enabled on Medium blending or higher, if draw is fbmask then it will enable
it on basic blending too.
OpenGL/Vulkan:
It is enabled based on the previous blending modes:
accumulation blend -> either minimum or basic level, depending on colclamp.
non recursive blend -> either minimum or basic level, depending on colclamp.
blend mix -> basic and higher level.
hw clr blend -> minimum and higher level.
All:
Prefer full sw blend when primitives don't overlap, sw fbmask or full barrier is used, it is more accurate.
Having this binding was redundant, as there's no "normal" texture
sampled when we're doing a channel shuffle, and it caused issues in
Vulkan when the render target or depth buffer the source.
Also fixes the Urban Chaos HLE shader.
Fixes validation errors in GT4, NFS: Carbon, Urban Chaos, probably
others too.
Alpha destination value is wrong so let us try to compensate.
Multiply Cs by (255/128) in shader.
Will work best if Cs is 0.5 or less, if it's higher than 0.5 then the closer to 1 the less accurate it gets.
Ofc it is best to use sw blending but it will help if sw blending is not present/selected for specific draw, will help d3d11 quite more.
Do hw blend for Cd*As, Cd*F, expand the clear color blend method as it is almost the same.
Most helpful for dx11 ofc, for gl/vulkan will help with rendering on lower
levels of blending without needing a barrier.
Clamp the alpha(As/Af) to 1 in the shader, it is already clamped to 1 in hw blend unit.
It should allow to better render the effects, still not fully accurate but it's closer to what we want.
Hopefully it helps D3D11 more.
Seems there were still some missing serials, it's pretty hard to track if there are dozen more but it did had a console ban there after short-lived debut.
Fixes Tennis Court Smash and Love Smash games which previously couldn't be fixed.
WRC no longer requires a patch, just the xgkickhack option.
Note: it's not a hack anymore, it just has to be called that :P
The automatic gamefixes were incorrect as it would SPS. Fix the SPS with nearest VuRound and then Extra + Preserve sign for VuClamp. God will be pleased.
Need to adjust GameDB entries for to remove ones no longer required, added EE Timing fix for SOCOM as that seems to fix it up like its sequel.

Official Playstation Magazine - Demo Disc 40'entries, Official Playstation Magazine - Demo Disc 85, Singstar Boy Bands vs Girl Bands, Singstar Take That.
FULL clamping mode fix games where hack was used, so is no longer required.
This commit remove hack, adjust GameDB according to that change, and rename fpuFloat4 function to fpuFloat3.
Last change is because fpuFloat3 was just wrapper for fpuFloat4 with added check for compare hack.
Additionally fpuFloat2 was only function that called fpuFloat4 directly, so that one call was changed to fpuFloat3 to respect previous changes.
Jumps emulation to the initial state of an active input recording file whether boost or savestate. Makes it easier to reset savestate-based recordings.
* Overrides the Boot ISO/CDVD/Bios menu option.
Fix for Depth precision.
Game fills upper 16bits of depth with 0xFFFF.
This results in a really high 32 bit value which is then converted to float because both hw and sw renderers lack double precision the lower 16 bits of the initial 32 bit value lose precision.
I was expecting to add some more serials to SLUS (NTSC) but it seems to be more well maintained than the SLES (PAL). Most additions are demos but there are some normal full entries . Minor fixups on SLUS and other regions for names.

Fix for terrible performance in US versions of Primal (all the time) and Ghosthunter (when encountering Teddy Bear and in the moment of Gator-Man's rush attack, maybe few other cases), Both games use shared code with pretty dumb wait loops in the microcode, those are absolutelly unnecessary and significantly kill performance on emulator.

Also add missing PAL entries to DB for Disney-Pixar WALL-E.
This commit add a patch to solve a crash in the game "Fahrenheit".
Found with the help of the dev-9 plugin and the PS4 emu.
This is a game bug trigger by a timing issue. The game have an internal crash reporting system
which rely on a debug server connected to the console.
When the game do an error, it expects the debug server to be connected to send the crash dump.
But that never happen on PCSX2 as the debug server is not present.
Thus, the game will enter in an infinite loop at the asylum level.
This only happen when certain conditions are meet in the game.
This patch makes the game to exit the loop by cancelling the debug reporting.
On top of that the game have no frame pacing system in place which causes a massive slowdown in loading screens.
Thankfully, this can be patched out.
Note: NTSC version is fine and doesn't require the patch.

On earlier versions (0.9.8) the KOSMOS patches were used to fix an
emulator crash on bootup, the patches are no longer needed and cause an
emulator crash on OpenGL HW before a race begins.
The intro video patch skip also isn't needed anymore since intro video
is emulated properly. So far the only issue I spotted on earlier
versions such as 0.9.8 was fmv screen shaking.

This isn't the right fix for this game, the text issue is caused due to a bug on GSdx depth test, and is not a
core issue. These rounding modes for some reason only partially alleviate the issue (https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-GSDX-Software-mode-Bug-Report-Teen-Titans-Load-Game-menu-not-displaying-text-where-it-should)
