Replaces the awkward checkbox for a PSX memory card in the bottom left
of the Create Memory Card dialog with a radio button like the other
memory card types.
Rearranged/updated many GUI elements.
Reduce height of window to make it more appealing for laptop users.
Add OpenGL HW/SW options to Renderer Override.
[skip ci]
Instead of faffing around with strings and having to handle a lot of
edge cases when trying to override the renderer, just let
WritePrivateProfileString do all the hard work for us instead.
The workaround was used to prevent macro substitution occuring on paths
containing "linux", but it's no longer necessary since "linux" is not
set as a predefined macro when a "-std=" option is passed to gcc.
Fixes#2268.
Previously if HW hacks were enabled Merge Sprite was active(if checked) on
native resolution even if the GUI option was disabled, which in result
caused glitches in games on native resolution.
This should address that issue.
Remove Aggressive CRC hacks for SSX 3. Was used to remove the red lines
on older versions but no longer needed since the issue has been fixed.
Offered 1fps or less speed bump but it's not worth keeping for such a
minimal increase.
Merge all FFX CRC hacks in to one. They share the same code so it's
better to have one to avoid duplicate code.
Move CRC hack for Bleach Blade Battlers to Aggressive. It removes the
character shading. It can be used as a speed hack since the gains are
quite good from it. Around 15-30%.
Add missing CRC ids for Soul Calibur 2 and 3.
Move CRC hacks to DX level. They are not needed anymore on OpenGL since
Depth Emulation fixes depth issues (shadows).
I found it might be useful for looking into issues at certain cases
where users provide a screenshot covering the titlebar, so we can easily
identify which video mode is being used.
Especially useful for looking into PCRTC issues.
The assembler was previously assembling instruction "b i" as an alias to "j I".
This caused unexpected behavior when attempting to assemble an
unconditional branch. The previous behavior would cause
position-independent code to fail due to the distinction between
the absolute address of a jump vs. the offset of a branch.
- Added proper clamping/rounding modes for Star Wars Bounty Hunter
- Added VIF FIFO hack for Petz - Horsez 2 to resolve hang at loading screen
- Update to compatibility status of few games

Move CRC hack to Partial that fix the half screen
bottom issue since the effect is not rendered correctly.
Move CRC hack to Aggressive. These hacks are only
needed when running upscaled resolution. They skip the
blur effect which cause ghosting and some other screen issues.
Side effect is they also remove the channel effect on OpenGL
which is emulated correctly so let's put them on Aggressive.
Comment out a hack, it's unknown what the hack does atm.
If there are new issues then it will be added back.
Added comments what the hacks do.
Partial port for channel shuffle effect to Direct3D for Tekken5.
The effect is skipped and not rendered but now the top left
screen glitch has been resolved.
Note: At least Minimum CRC level is required for this to work.
Add hidden option "UserHacks_DisableNVhack" to disable
the Nvidia hack on Direct3D which added black lines on the right
and bottom of the screen. Could be useful for Intel and AMD GPUs.
A better solution would be to add Vendor Id detection instead,
but this will do for now.
To disable the Nvidia hack add UserHacks_DisableNVhack=1 in GSdx.ini
Fixes memcard access in Final Fantasy VIII, and likely in other PSX
games supporting the Pocketstation peripheral. This makes inserted PSX cards show up as PocketStation devices in the PS2 browser, which is okay for now.
Add python:i386 to gcc 32-bit builds to avoid a strange dependency
issue with the gcc-4.9 and gcc-7 builds.
Remove chrome workaround since it's not needed anymore.
Change 32-bit clang dependency to gcc-7-multilib (no real reason, I just
feel like doing so).
[skip appveyor]
Fixes glitchy water in Rogue Galaxy in Direct3D when the hack is
enabled.
Fixes Test Drive car reflection in Direct3D when the hack is enabled.
OTher games are affected as well.
For some CDs (i.e. Suikoden), trying to read a 2048 byte "cooked" sector
does not work. However, reading the raw sector and then extracting the
required 2048 bytes works fine, so let's do that.
This also makes it easier to port CD/DVD disk reading to operating
systems that don't provide CD/DVD interface conveniences.
doc: Update FAQ document
* Update system requirements to match README.md and remove references to v0.9.6
* Fix formatting issues, add link for DirectX and speed issues
Adds automatic HW mipmapping support.
It relies on CRC ids so if a game does
not have their CRC id but needs mipmapping
it will not work until the id is added.
Add GUI menu and tooltip for Automatic mipmap
"Automatic (Default)"
This option will be default option from now on.
Rename "Very Slow" text option to "Slow" for full mipmap
as it caused the text not to fit properly in the menu.
Credits also go to @RedPanda4552 and @ssakash for helping
with the code.
Rearrange the two columns of HW hacks, new arrangement
is done in alphabetical order on Windows and Linux.
Rename some hacks on Linux to match the windows version.
Some other minor tweaks as well.
The following patch grays out the configure button when there's no
configuration dialog available for the selected codec. What's the use in
clicking it when no dialog pops up? :P (I've been tricked by it lots of
times)
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".
It's not really used, and the OSD uses a different API.
The specified calling convention (stdcall) is also incorrect since
variadic functions are caller-clean, not callee-clean. The compilers
ignore the stdcall and just use cdecl (I think), though it does trigger
a -Wcast-calling-convention on clang.
