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.
Fixes an issue where the game will either boot the wrong CDVD source or
fail to boot if the current CDVD option doesn't match the option
specified in the command line.
The legacy version is the version 1.3
The new version is the version 2.0. It would be based on SDL2 only
Distribution information.
If you link wxWidget with SDL, you will need to be sure it is SDL2 or upgrade.
You can build wxWidget with SDL2 with the following trick
export SDL_CONFIG=/usr/bin/sdl2-config
./configure --with-sdl .....
Improved the video mode detection code by also detecting the DVD variant video modes of NTSC & PAL, PSX mode actually make use of these specific variants, as well as the BIOS. Previously, I just had them as a single bios video mode due to laziness. (I know, my bad)
After further research, it seems that these DVD variant modes have their own individual VSync timing values similar to the standard NTSC & PAL video modes, dealing with those timer codes might be essential in getting timing accuracy of the PSX mode games. (I kept it to default NTSC/PAL values for now, interested people can mess with it later)
I had planned to do this before but there some were concerns that two different video modes make use of 0x73 gate in SetGsCrt, which was rather weird (how the heck could two video modes be used in a single param value?)
0x73- DVDPAL ( 720 x 480 @ ??.???Hz)
0x73- DVD480P ( 720 x 480 @ ??.???Hz)
Hence, we had decided to use the CMOD bit from SMODE1 (AKA color subcarrier frequency) to detect whether it's an analog or digital video mode and update the necessary timing values but seems like it's no longer necessary, after further discussions from some PS2 developers, we've come to the conclusion that only DVDPAL is possible via 0x73 in SetGsCrt. (So I assume the DVD480p init possibility was fake info from Blue and those other GSM guys who were reverse engineering the PS2)
* 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
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.
Update compatibility info for 2 games based on compatibility reports I
made earlier.
Fixes title for the PAL and NTSC-U releases of Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2.
And adds a fix for Sled Storm(confirmed to be required for both the PAL(SLES-50683) and NTSC-U(SLUS-20363) versions).
Remove full path from every plugin binding and only add it to the
preceding "Loading Plugins..." line.
Instead the revision date and version number are printed for each plugin
to make it easier to identify issues with plugin versions.
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.
