A short summary how d3d option behaves compared to gl.
None d3d-> behaves the same
Basic d3d-> even less than 1/3 of Basic opengl.
Medium d3d -> less than 1/3 of Basic opengl.
High d3d -> 1/3 of Basic opengl.
Note: Medium and High options are mostly intended for debug use.
Allow to open Advanced settings and hacks window even when hw hacks are
off, this should allow OpenGL advanced settings to be configured even
when hw hacks are off in the gui since the options are configurable
wihtout depending on hw hacks checkbox.
Hw hacks will be greyed out when the checkbox button is not enabled.
New behavior will only be present on opengl hw gui. Direct3d11 will remain the same.
There's no need to have duplicate images that basically do the same
thing. Update the gui to reflect latest changes and use the same images
on both. It will reduce plugin size.
Remove old images and update VS project files.
We are removing MSAA for the following reasons:
1. It's broken
2. Fixing it would mean it would perform as well as FSAA, which defeats the purpose of having it
3. It's only supported by DX and Windows
4. Reduction in code complexity
Press F to pay respect
Idea is to disable multiple features in 1 option to avoid gui clutter.
Unscale Point and Line:
This partially reverts PR #2710 restoring Unscale Point and Line but as a disable option.
It can help Xenosaga games.
GS Memory clearning:
This disables GS memory clearing to be done on the CPU, by default both gpu and cpu do memory clearing
which is more accurate.
It can help Kingdom Hearts games.
And the time has come to say good bye (good riddance?), this build removes Direct3D9 entirely from GSdx. D3D9 is/was holding us back in some D3D11 fixes that we want to further implement.
The last build that supports D3D9 is v1.5.0-dev-2779-g1a61148b0 for anyone still interested.
"Press F to pay respect.
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.
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.
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.

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".
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.
* Windows behavior must be checked
* remove glsl_source.h
v2: fix missing include
Big thanks to Turtleli
v3:
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
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.
"Enable Hardware Depth" removed from main dialog.
"Disable Depth Emulation" and "Fast Texture Invalidation" added to Hacks
dialog.
And fix lots of whitespace issues.
GSDX: Improvements to the config interface.
- GSDX: Add new logos to dialog
- GSDX: Remove all the extra null renderers
- GSDX: Changes to renderer combobox
- Sort all the renderers in ascending order. (the fact that D3D11 was
above D3D9 really annoyed me >_<)
- Properly display usage of D3D10/D3D11 on the combobox.
- Use highest available version of DX by default.
- GSDX: gray out upscaling hacks at native resolution
- GSDX-PSX: Modifications to the dialog
- Add new logos
- Remove SDL renderer from combobox since it was removed long ago.
It would be on by default. Unsafe & fast path.
The hack is a security if someone encounters any issue
v2: update Windows gui file
v3: fix typo in tooltip and linux gui
The following patch adds Mipmap option (software mode exclusive) and Preload Data Frame (Hardware mode exclusive) to the GSDX plugin settings for debug purposes.
All combobox text can now be seen in full without having to click on the
combobox.
The internal and custom resolution stuff has been moved into the Hardware
Mode Settings groupbox since it doesn't affect software mode.
The dialog has also been rearranged a bit.
upscale_multiplier function values have been changed to allocate native resolution and also move custom resolution to 9.
Remove the old native checkbox value and include Native in the combo box.
Internal GSDX functions have also been updated with this new update to the upscale_multiplier variable.
