OMG, Zone of Ender got a speed boost from 11 fps to 45 fps
Seriously, the goal is to allow benchmarking GSdx without too much overhead of the main renderer draw call
Note: unlike the null renderer, texture/vertex uploading, 2D draw, texture conversions are still done.
* Add full PMODE register to replace slbg/mmod
* Add full EXTBUF register (will allow to emulate write feedback)
* Add a third source (which will actually be the destination of the
write feedback)
mipmap option 3. Actually maybe a separate tri-linear option will be better
m_mipmap == 2 => use manual PS2 trilinear/mipmap
Otherwise
m_filter == 3 => always use full automatic trilinear interpolation
m_filter == 4 => use automatic trilinear interpolation when PS2 uses mipmap
m_filter == 5 => like 4 but force bilinear interpolation inside layer
The game sets the framebuffer as an input texture. So I did the same for
openGL. Code is protected with a CRC. It is working because the game want to sample
pixels.
For the record, I tested it GTA too, it doesn't work as expected because
the game will resize the framebuffer to a smaller one. So you don't have
the guarantee that pixel will be read before a data write.
Note: it requires at least accurate blending set on basic
Note: I need CRC of all Jak games that suffers of this issue. Thanks you :)
* Support Mesa Nouveau IR (free driver for Nvidia's GPU)
=> Print intermediate representation + final shader
=> Dump GPR usage
* Move dumped shader in /tmp/GSdx_Shader/<sub_dir>
=> Avoid the landing of 3 thousands of files in $PWD ^^
* Use function instead of macro
Game often uses date to allow a single pixel pass. If this
use case is detected, stencil buffer will be cleared after first pixels
that pass both depth&stencil test.
It seems to reduce the load on the GPU.
Note: with the help of texture barriere, maybe we could implement the algo
with a single pass.
Will use integral coordinate to avoid any rescaling.
Bilinear interpolation isn't supported. I don't think it is allowed to
filter a depth texture anyway.
Texture coordinate could be dummy/float/int integral/int normalized.
Old behavior:
* VS was in charge to select the texture coordinate
* int integral format wasn't supported
New behavior:
* Always compute all formats
* FS will be in charge to select the good format
Impact:
* VS will be slightly slower but it reduces shaders permutation from
little to 0 (won't be bad for CPU)
* FS speed isn't impacted as 2 separate code paths were already required
to support both format
* Rasterizer will be 33% slower but unlikely to be the limited factor of
the GPU
* In future we could directly use the integral format in the FS.
V2: remove useless PSin_t
OpenGL does not use the cdecl calling convention (which is the default
calling convention for GSdx on Windows). Since DebugOutputToFile is used
by OpenGL, it needs to use the same calling convention that OpenGL uses.
This fixes a debug build crash when the OpenGL renderers are used and
debug_opengl is nonzero in the ini.
A couple of useless members were removed too.
Also fix wnd initialization
Coverity:
CID 146955 (#1 of 1): Uninitialized pointer read (UNINIT)
18. uninit_use: Using uninitialized value wnd[i].
* add lengthly comment to explain the format
* Likely reduce the number of shader permutation
* Avoid slow AEM (on GPU)
Expect regressions because TC needs some fixes
v2: fix palette mode
Add 2 new shaders:
* ps_main12: cast a 16 bit depth to a RGB5A1 color
* ps_main16: cast a a RGB5A1 color to a 16 bit depth
Shader might be used in future commit as it seems Silent Hill uses this
kind of format.
Fix tab/indentation too
