It is replacement of the previous hack (UserHacks_stretch_sprite). Don't enable both in the same time!
The idea of the hack is to move the sprite to the pixel boundary. It
avoids most of rounding issue. It also rescales verticaly the sprite (avoid horizontal line on ace combat).
I don't like this rescaling maybe we can limit it to only 1 pixels.
On my limited testcase, results are much better with any upscaling factor.
I still have a bad line in Kingdom heart. If you have issue with others
game please provide us a GS dump.
there was already code for this, but it was broken due to:
- the message is WM_SYSCOMMAND and wParam is SC_SCREENSAVE etc.
- GSPanel doesn't get WM_SYSCOMMAND - GSFrame does.
- also disabled screen saver while paused if not set to hide the GS window.
- it's an ugly hack where windows keeps trying to activate the screen saver
every few seconds but such code prevents it (Lilypad has the same hack).
the new code uses windows API which was designed for this.
the screen saver is now disabled while the window is focused and the emulation
is running. it's on by defauly and without GUI - the same as with normal games.
this patch addresses Windows only, but adds a placeholder for future
implementations for other platforms.
2x upscaling is pixel perfects. Bigger upscaling is better but not yet perfect
Feedbacks are welcomes (note it doesn't solve all upscaling issue, only wrong texture sampling)
For the history:
If you have a texture of [0;16[ texels and draws a primitive [0;16[
The formulae to sample last pixels of texture is
0.5 + (16*s-1)/(16*s) * 16
Native (s==1): 15.5 (good)
2x (s==2): 16 (bad, outside of the texture)
4x (s==4): 16.25 (bad, really outside of the texure))
-Replaced googlecode link with Github
-Updated hotkeys section with more hotkeys (taken from our wiki, thanks
people!)
Thanks to karasuhebi from our forum for bringing this to my attention!
+ This is not yet perfect. Really, this standard seems like a load of crap to me in fact...
At least it works now. Should test again when gcc 5 & new c++ libs gets out.. Until then, it will do.
ask the OS to asynchronously fetch the next chunk from disk before we actually
use it. We then cancel this request and ignore the data before the next extract
but it's very likely that when extract tries to read from disk the data will
already be cached by the OS.
This frequently allows to overcome HDD seek time (mostly due to fragmentation)
of the compressed file.
On Linux, CPUs with AVX2 instruction sets that have TSX disabled (by
microcode update or otherwise) fail to build GSdx. The __RTM__ macro is
undefined, with leads to the TSX RTM instruction set (_xbegin, _xend,
_xabort, etc.) being unavailable.
Modify the preprocessor check so that the RTM instructions are only used
if available.
PCSX2 applies patches from several sources: GameIndex.dbf, cheats folder,
widescreen patches folder and widescreen patches zip (cheats_ws.zip).
all these patche sources are typically applied whenever any kind of
configuration changes (e.g. aspect ratio etc), depending on config.
typically we want to display all this info at the console/log only on boot,
unless we're in Devel mode or if the user enables the verbose console.
this patch unifies all the verbosity related prints to use PatchesCon, where
this object is controlled according to the conditions (devel mode, boot time,
console mode).
it replaces passing around a "verbose" and includes some more prints which did
not adhere to this policy earlier (e.g. the patches lines were only printed
if verbose console was enabled - now they also print on boot).
warnings and errors are unmodified and always print to the console.
I wanted to play with linux interface :)
It is far from perfect but joysticks are detected. The biggest issue is the correct generation of the config file!
