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.
Manual gives all setup to upload a palette from the host. But nothing forbid to render
directly in the palette buffer. (GS rule nb 1, there is no rule ^^)
Fix Virtua Fighter 2 dark colors
However I'm not sure we can fix HW renderer. Rendering is done on the GPU but palette
handling is done on the CPU... So we need to read back data (ouch, and slow). A quick
test didn't get the expected results. Potentially there are others bugs (aka not gonna
happen on the HW renderer)
IOCTL_CDROM_RAW_READ apparently does not work for some read modes on
some optical drives, which makes some CD-ROM games unplayable from the
disc.
Work around the issue by using SPTI to retrieve the raw sector data. The
old reading method has been retained in case SPTI cannot be used (if the
device could not be opened with write access).
Fix motocross mania missing texture. Close#1319
As far as I understand, transfer is initialized in DIR. But the real
write only occured later so the blit buffer could have been overwritten
by a new value.
BLIT 0 13700
TREG 40 40
DIR 0 0
BLIT 0 13f00 <=== the bad guy
Write! ... => 0x3f00 W:1 F:C_32 (DIR 00), dPos(0 0) size(64 64)
v2: set a value in m_tr.m_blit for load state
It creates a regression on game that uses a small temporary target to
upload textures of various sizes. Inital code was done to handle direct
frame write (background, FMV) so big target
Purpose is to control the filtering when final image is displayed on the screen
Could improve the sharpness of the output in some games (ofc, it will be pixelated)
When depth primitive is constant and depth test is greater or equal, we can
execute the depth write after color (depth status will only depends on the initial
value)
New case for RGB_ONLY ate:
If the blending equation uses a fixed alpha or a source alpha. We can postpone the alpha write
in a 2nd pass.
If depth can also be postponed, we can guarantee the order of correctness of the value.
1st pass => do RGB
2nd pass => do Alpha & Depth
It fixed Stuntman letter rendering :) Remaining of the game is still broken :(
At higher resolutions it takes too much time to save a screenshot at the
maximum compression level. So let's allow the user to set the
compression level.
This re-uses the png_compression_level setting. The default compression
level is 1 for speed, but if the user wishes to increase the compression
level (without using an external tool) and doesn't mind if the
screenshot takes more time to save then they can increase the
compression level up to a maximum of 9 (which can take quite a while).
Fixes#1527.
PNG_LIBRARIES adds both libpng and zlib to the command line.
PNG_LIBRARY only adds libpng to the linker command line, and the cmake
documentation also suggests not to use it.
Value seems wrongly rounded and you can't distinguish 0xFFFF from 0xFFFE
Instead check that depth is constant for the draw call and the value from the vertex buffer
Fix recent regression on GTA (and likely various games)
In FB_ONLY mode the alpha test impacts (discard) only the depth value.
If there is no depth buffer, we don't care about depth write. So alpha
test is useless and we can do the draw with a single draw call and no program
