[15:34] (Kingcom): other functions in other units use it, and get linker errors like this

-Implemented GIF_MODE Masking fixed the All Star Pro Wrestling series slowness/hanging.
DMA:
-Standardize the IPU and SIF dma's to use the standard chain handling in hw.c, fixed up some DMA resuming stuff in the forementioned units, VIF, GIF and SPR.
-Added some warnings for DMA stall control which isn't implemented, hopefully somebody will find a game that does it so we can add/test it :)

- Fixed up the T/D Bit handling properly this time (or at least much better).
- Moved the interrupt outside of the recompiled code.
VU Interpreter:
-Fixed the T/D Bit handling when the interrupt wasn't enabled.

-Dreamworks Over The Hedge actually requires this to load. Interpreter kind of had it right, but didn't stop the VU on these flags, causing the graphics to look bad and hang on the start button, works fine now.

Threading VU1 took a lot of rewrites and new code to make possible (MTGS, microVU, gifUnit...), but we finally got to the point where it was feasible, and now we've done it! (so now everyone can stop complaining that pcsx2 only takes advantages of 2 cores :p).
The speedups in the games that benefit from it are great if you have a cpu with 3+ cores (generally a 10~45% speedup), however games that are GS limited can be a slowdown (especially on dual core cpu's).
The option can be found in the speedhacks section as "MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1)". And when enabled it should should show the VU thread-time percentage on the title bar window (Like we currently do for EE/GS/UI threads).
It is listed as a speedhack because in order for threading VU1 to have been a speedup, we need to assume that games will not send gif packets containing Signal/Finish/Label commands from path 1 (vu1's xgkick). The good news is very-few games ever do this, so the compatibility of MTVU is very high (a game that does do this will likely hang).
Note: vs2010 builds and Linux builds need to be updated to include "MTVU.h" and "MTVU.cpp".

some bits were kept for reference and should be deleted in the future (along with the entire GIFpath.cpp)

Pcsx2 now has a gifUnit class which acts like the ps2's gif and executes a single gif transfer at a time (and performs path arbitration according to priority and path3 slicing).
This new code is generally a speedup for most games. Particularly VU heavy games like GoW.
This revision breaks old saved state compatibility so don't update if you wish to keep playing with your old saved states.
Leave comments if this revision fixes or breaks anything...
Message to GS Plugin authors:
This new code now uses only 1 gif callback to transfer data to the gs plugin (GSgifTransfer).
pcsx2 also is garaunteed to send full GS primitives to the plugin. So you don't have to account for partial-transfers anymore.
Thanks goes out to shadowlady who tested around 500 games for me :D
Note 1: The old gif code is still in this revision, and can be enabled by the USE_OLD_GIF macro. The old code will be deleted soon.
Note 2: This revision also enables assertion dialogs in devel builds, and changed a lot of assume cases into assertions.

* Moved VIF dynamic recompiler buffers to the recompilers section of PCSX2.
* Using RecompiledCodeReserve for the VIF SSE functions.
* Minor bugfixes to VirtualMemory class implementations.
* Improved error handling and error message display.
* [TODO] : implement a call to cpuShutdown() to clean up VIF unpack/SSE reserves.

- Slight tweak to Path3 masking, an overlooked situation where Path3 can wait between GIFTags.
- Improved the stability of MFIFO on both sides greatly for games such at Tekken Tag (which boots again) Gran Turismo 4 and FF7 Dirge of Cerberus.
I'm expecting *Something* to break, so please report it here if something does, please make sure it is THIS revision.

* Both INTC and DMAC exceptions are now issued together when possible (0x400 | 0x800 to the CAUSE register, respectively)
* CPU exceptions are checked on every event now, instead of using scheduled interrupts on bits 30/31. This removes the need to constantly reschedule events during interrupt-disabled states.
* CPU exception test is moved to the top of the EE event test.

* Writes via 16 and 8 bit ops now use 32-bit read/modify/write operations by default; which should enable nearly complete support for all such operations (instead of the formerly spotty coverage before).
* Eliminated almost all former 8/16-bit specific register operations. All code shares the same 32 bit handlers now.
* Completely revamped the developer trace logs for hardware registers! *ALL* registers are logged now, complete with address, name, and value being read/written (and nicely formatted!).
* Handlers are now fully page-based using templated functions (minor speedup)

* Removed the hacky g_pVU1 pointer, which required VU1 cpu registers to be part of VU0. Replaced it with a standard VU1 variable (mimics all other CPU registers, which are standard static vars). We were using translation functions/tables for all VU0 memory operations anyway, so this was a no-brainer.
* Removed code from microVU that was only there to help deal with the fact that g_pVU1 was annoying.
* Turned eeMem->HW into a static global array eeHw [64k].
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3692 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Includes a minor tweak to DMAC.h - removed tDMA_TADR / tDMA_MADR / etc. and replaced them with a single tDMAC_ADDR class.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3644 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added __fi and __ri, which are abbreviations for __forceinline and __releaseinline.
* Added some static qualifiers to functions in mVU, MMI ops, and others where appropriate.
* Removed some unnecessary __fastcall qualifiers (since GCC gets funny sometimes when you combine __fastcall and inlining).
* Made _1mb, _16mb, _1gb values common to all emulation code (moved from newVif/mvu to Common.h) -- they're useful! :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3624 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fix a bug in my merge of the new MTGS code that caused crashes on some games (PATH1 queue bug).
* Added assertion checks to hwMFIFOWrite for qwc alignment and a SPR_LOG for null ringbuffer addresses (if a game specifies an invalid physical address).

- Batman Returns Issue 709 .
- Fixed flashing in Sega Superstars Tennis.
- Clawed back some of the speed loss from the XGKick delays.
Detailed changes:
- CALL Tag DMAs that contain invalid next tag addresses ignore the call (Batman started sending corrupt information from invalid addresses)
- VU1 now flushes any pending transfers if it's trying to send another and doesnt process any packed/list regs
- Batman was checking for OPH to be high, this was a timing thing, something id completely got rid of accidently (same for APATH)
- XGKick will no longer queue if PATH3 is interrupted
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3285 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Games
- Resident Evil Dead Aim flickering graphics fixed.
- Flatout games should now boot everytime (instead of randomly)
- Sega Superstar Tennis flashing fixed
- Destruction Derby graphics fixed (NTSC confirmed, PAL unsure)
- Tenchu Fatal Shadows flickering textures fixed, Issue 748
- Spyro Hero's Tail should boot again, Issue 746
General Info
- General reworking of the GS paths with all paths prioritizing more correctly.
- XGKICK can stall if another GS transfer is in progress
- Major reworking of Path3 masking, could still be combined with normal Path3 transfers, but lets get it working first :P
- Taken in to account a few conditions which could have caused VIF to lock up/crash when stalling on ends.
- Unreversed GIF and SPR and VIF so its the normal way round
- all DMA paths should now resume correctly after being stopped by hardware
- GIF FIFO now actually transfers stuff :P
- VIF CMD's simulated by the length of the interrupts at the end.
Phew, i think that's everything :S

* Added DX11 support. DX11 enabled cards now give a +~40% speedup
* New SSE-X instructions we invented for PCSX2. Give a +200% speedup even on old CPUs.
* Full 64bit support. If you have 64 bit windows, be prepared for a 300% speed up.
* Implemented new DMAC, so far we have ~15 games that show improvements.
* Added support for USB-enabled vibrators. Feel the full pleasure of gaming, now also with PCSX2!
* SPU2-X now decodes Dolby Digital 7.1!
* Please test to find any bugs in the 24-thread code, it's a bit complex so some tiny bugs might have crept in.

Notes to Devs:
- Linux project files probably need to be updated since I deleted some files.
- In the vif0/vif1 Freeze() functions for saved states, I kept some dummy vars to keep saved state compatibility. We should remove them next time we decide to break saved state compatibility.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2461 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added more colors!
* VM's EE/IOP logs (the ones that come from the emulated games themselves) are colored accordingly: EE are faint cyan, IOP are faint yellow. They're intentionally "hard to read" because 99% of the time they're meaningless trivia (but still cool since it's what the actual devs would have used for developing the games!).
Dev Notes:
* Removed Console.Status (specify blue/green colors manually if you want them).
* Renamed Console.Notice to Console.Warning.
* I changed the overloads so that both char* and wxChar* versions work like printf now (no need to use wxsFormat when working with unicode strings). I also removed wxString& versions of the overloads. This should (I hope) also be an easier port to wx2.9 or 3.0, when that time comes.
* Default log color is now black instead of gray; typically you'll want to manually specify Color_Gray when doing high volume logging (like the EErec's block tracking in debug builds).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2091 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Completely new assertion macros: pxAssert, pxAssertMsg, and pxFail, pxAssertDev (both which default to using a message). These replace *all* wxASSERT, DevAssert, and jASSUME varieties of macros. New macros borrow the best of all assertion worlds: MSVCRT, wxASSERT, and AtlAssume. :)
* Rewrote the Console namespace as a structure called IConsoleWriter, and created several varieties of ConsoleWriters for handling different states of log and console availability (should help reduce overhead of console logging nicely).
* More improvements to the PersistentThread model, using safely interlocked "Do*" style callbacks for starting and cleaning up threads.
* Fixed console logs so that they're readable in Win32 notepad again (the log writer adds CRs to naked LFs).
* Added AppInit.cpp -- contains constructor, destructor, OnInit, and command line parsing mess.
