It doesn't support dual layer ISO images, and the ini has to be edited
manually so it loads an ISO image ("$" has to be prepended to the ISO
path as well). The PCSX2 internal ISO file reader is probably better in
most/all aspects and I don't think it's worth copying the logic from
PCSX2 into the plugin.
gsdx ogl: only use geometry shader to convert big enough draw call
The purpose of geometry shader is to reduce bandwidth (72 bytes by sprite)
and CPU load.
Unfortunately it increases CPU load due to extra shader validations.
So geometry shader will only be enabled for draw call with more than
16 sprites (arbitrarily, smallest number before shadow hearts plummet)
v2: don't disable geometry shader in replayer.
It is easier to spot sprite rendering and to manually read vertex info.
Warning can be reenabled on GCC
A warning isn't fixed as potentially the code is wrong
../pcsx2/gui/MemoryCardFolder.cpp: In member function ‘void FolderMemoryCard::FlushFileEntries(u32, u32, const wxString&, MemoryCardFileMetadataReference*)’:
../pcsx2/gui/MemoryCardFolder.cpp:1027:10: warning: unused variable ‘filenameCleaned’ [-Wunused-variable]
bool filenameCleaned = FileAccessHelper::CleanMemcardFilename( cleanName );
Strangely the game uses large texture to handle texture buffer.
I think it plays with WMS/WMT. I'm not sure texture shuffling is 100%
correct here. But without it, it's completely broken.
* 0x9C712FF0, Jak1, EU
* 0x472E7699, Jak1, US
* 0x2479F4A9, Jak2, EU
* 0x12804727, Jak3, EU
* 0xDF659E77, JakX, EU
Please report me the CRC of the US version too so I can add them.
Please test the shadows rendering (openGL HW + accurate blending at least basic)
The game sets the framebuffer as an input texture. So I did the same for
openGL. Code is protected with a CRC. It is working because the game want to sample
pixels.
For the record, I tested it GTA too, it doesn't work as expected because
the game will resize the framebuffer to a smaller one. So you don't have
the guarantee that pixel will be read before a data write.
Note: it requires at least accurate blending set on basic
Note: I need CRC of all Jak games that suffers of this issue. Thanks you :)
Default copy-constructor is eight 32 bits move
GSRendererOGL::Lines2Sprites code shrinks from 510B to 398B
(loop of the function 296B => 181B). Hopefully it will reduce the cost
to convert line to sprite on the CPU (i.e. when geometry shader is disabled)
It impacts all renderers. It ought to fix issue in GTA radiosity,
Shadows in Jak series. (note shadows will suck in upscaling)
Implementation is really brutal. Expect a massive slow down, but at least we can test the effect
easily.
Normally perf impact will remain reasonable if the game doesn't use a Read-Write effect
Performances number are welcomes (my guess is really awful in HW mode, slow in SW mode).
You can enable it with "UserHacks_AutoFlush = 1"
GS memory is only 4MB but rendering is allowed to be 2048x2048
with 32 bits format (so 16MB). Technically the frame/depth buffer can start
at the end of the GS memory. Let's not waste too much memory.
Fix crash with BASARAX
(game draws a 2048x1664 32 bits area)
The hack only fix the HW renderer but not the SW renderer. However I'm not sure
the issue is from GSdx.
The hack will disable alpha test that used to generate empty draw call.
