- include a small game exe detection so pcsx2 doesn't believe it's running the bios
- cdrom.cpp has a hack to account for pcsx2's wrong iop dma timing when mixing mdec and cdrom dmas. This should be properly fixed for the benefit of all ps2 / psx software!
- dmasif2 is disabled since pgpu already handles it
isBreakpointNeeded returns if breakpoints are needed for any combination
of the current pc and delay slot.
dynarecCheckBreakpoint checks conditions for each breakpoint slot.
Currenty code isn't activated because it will crash any game that do a tlb miss (with the recompiler)
However if you activate the code with the interpreter, the exception will be fired and new tlb setting
will be loaded => got nice picture with "Bouken Jidai Katsugeki"

Path3 Masking: Fixed a bug which caused persona 3 not to boot, previous a hack had been put in place to get around this.
VIF: Fixed a VIF error with the rare game Realta Nua, now goes through the prologue correctly. Game requires the EE timing hack to get rid of most of the noise (Path3 masking problem with new GIF unit, unfixable).
Expecting bugs, I will be monitoring this.

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".

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.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4169 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Moved profiler management to the RecompiledCodeReserve class.
* Improved error handling some more.
* Numerous minor cleanups.

* 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)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3704 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
* Some minor exception/error handling fixes and improvements.
DevNote: the BOOT2 elf loader fix is still a hackfix. I documented the proper fix for mimicking PS2 BOOT2 parsing, but not in a mood to do the full proper implementation right now.

I also re-implemented R5900 runtime exception handling for TLB Miss and such (devbuilds only, for now).

Linux note: There's a chance as usual that this might break something in Linux because Linux and Windows STL headers have different dependencies. Namely <algorithm> might still be needed in on some of the PrecompiledHeaders. If so, just re-add it and commit, and make a note: // yes GCC really needs this one :)

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

* Made all database key comparisons case-insensitive, so that "patches" and "Patches" both work as expected, etc.
* Applied patches should be remembered properly now when using suspend/resume and savestates (hopefully -- didn't test savestates yet).
DevNotes:
* Reorganized all game database code into a generic interface used by the emulation core (IGameDatabase), and app-side implementation (AppGameDatabase) that loads the files and provides info in a thread-safe manner.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3223 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Improved console window behavior during startup and shutdown (also fixes minor threading issues)
* Added better failsafes for avoiding "rouge" pcsx2 processes left behind when wxWidgets would fail to "notice" window closures properly.
* Database loader is now thread-safe and cleans itself up properly on exit.
* Added some handy enumeration tools for the gamefixes (prep work for making them commandline controllable).
* ... and more prelim commandline work! (actual functional implementations coming very soon)

Only open, close, read and lseek implemented for now. Directories are not supported for now because of the need to match the dirent structure to the loaded ioman version.
To allow access the host filesystem from homebrew and games, enable the new option on the main menu.
