Everblue: Slightly messy fix, not as nice as id hope, but it seems to work, we need to remember VU programs written to the VU so we can check if an unpack is modifying it. This retains the behaviour of the Snowblind engines whilst fixing everblue.
Hitman 2: Our vif0/1VUFinish() routing which works in conjunction with the delays wasn't paying attention to if the VIF was stalled or not and reran it before the game wanted it to, now fixed.

-Path3 Masking Changes, Gif Unit now rolls the DMA back (Path3 only) if it is using the Masking and finishes mid DMA packet.
-Vif modified to be simpler in the transfer loop and fixes issues where Flushes are called at the end of a DMA packet.
Game fixes from changes:
Outrun 2006 - Water textures and general flickering fixed, also SW mode not required for half screen issue. Caused by GIF Path 3 stopping in the wrong place.
Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith - DMA timeouts caused by Flush at end of packet.
Had to break savestates (version change!), sorry :(

-Fixed a bug stopping GT4 running.
-VIF now waits if the VU is busy rather than spinning, causing huge slowdowns.
-Filled in some bits i missed
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5149 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also added a couple important global variables to be savestated (breaks old state compat).

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".
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4865 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Fixed a bug with mVU's ESIN implementation. This finally fixes the flower-petal bug in Radiata Stories (and hopefully the clouds-bug in VP2 but havn't tested). Rama and I have wanted to fix this for a long time, but never knew the problem :p
- Improved implementation of some undefined behavior that happens on branches to take into account pipeline stalls.
gif / vif:
- Added some logging code that parses gif packets. It can be enabled by the PRINT_GIF_PACKET macro in Gif.h
- Deleted some old gif code.
- On ReadFIFO_VIF1() clear the out-reg to prevent uninitialized results in case GSreadFIFO() doesn't modify it...
- Create a fallback for GSreadFIFO2() so that its always defined (as long as the plugin implements GSreadFIFO())
pcsx2:
- Organized the virtual folders in vs2008 a bit...
Note: vs2010 and Linux builds need to be modified to add Gif_Logger.cpp and delete GIFpath.cpp
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4835 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
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.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4821 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Finished up zipfile-style savestate implementation
* Simplified BaseSaveState class, and removed lots of now-unneeded code.
* Prepared the i18n stuff for a pcsx2_Dev.pot file (WIP), and sorted more stuff to pcsx2_Tertiary.pot.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxSavestates@4091 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Basic savestate loading/saving working now (needs testing).
* No support for screenshots embedded into the savestate (yet).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxSavestates@4043 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fix a potentially obscure bug in ipuCSC (color space conversion) which would have caused PCSX2 to hang on certain types of rare partial transfers.
* Remove some more dead code and structure data from the mpeg library.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3833 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Savestate mega-fix! Removed all the old direct pointer types from decoder_t, which should fix the oddball random savestate crashes when IPU is active.
* Moved iq/niq into decoder_t.
* Moved all macroblocks into decoder_t (mb8, mb16, rgb16, rgb32).
* Turned decoder.stride into a constant, since IPU can only decode in strides of 16 bytes only.
* Added sanity checking to the ipu0_fifo stuff (was formerly g_nIPU0Data, etc).
* Added some SSE moves to the Idct (very minor optimization). There's a completely SSE from-ground-up implementation provided by newer versions of libmpeg2 that we should probably look into later, rather than rolling our own.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3587 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
I also re-implemented R5900 runtime exception handling for TLB Miss and such (devbuilds only, for now).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3335 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Make the new MTGS register packet during vsync not upload 0xf0->0x100. This is technically GS internal register space that the GS plugin may update or modify as it processes GIFtags. Thus, PCSX2 shouldn't touch it.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3331 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
- Also adjusted some internal interrupt timers so they don't interrupt so often (when they don't really need to)
All in all you should have a few extra FPS over revisions following r3274
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3305 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Console Log doesn't force itself into the focus anymore when it opens
* Suspend/Resume menu item updates more reliably.
* Changing plugin settings while suspended works nicer; less likely to crash/hang/etc (ironically, changing plugin settings while running was more reliable).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2976 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added versioning info to savestates! (along with some other bugfixes)
* Simplified the Boot and System menus -- removed the old Skip BIOS hack and replaced it with the new BOOT2 injection method (which is considered hack-free at this time).
* Removed lots of UI deadlock gotchas.
* Some new confirmation dialogs and better error handling.
* Implemented an exclusive SysExecutor thread, which serves the purpose of executing system/VM commands and events in uninterrupted order (including suspend, resume, savestates, etc.)
* ... and probably broke linux!
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2911 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also
* Tons of small UI bugfixes and cosmetic improvements, mostly to startup, first-time running, and resetting options.
* Added a third startup option for specifying a custom "default location" for PCSX2 files, in addition to user docs and CWD.
Devs:
* Implemented some more += operators for adding wxWidgets objects to sizers (pxStretchSpacer mainly).
* Preliminary re-implementation of memory cards panels -- still non-functional, so it's disabled.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2671 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
(Had to be done, many recent code changes require new state handling, and it was too broken.)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2669 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fixed a savestate loading bug, when loading states made with different sets/versions of plugins.
DevNote:
* Moved some old PS2E types to PS2Edefs, since the new v2 plugin API won't use them (freezeData, keyEvent).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2380 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Configuration panels are all modal-less now, so that you can open the config panel and leave it open while running games.
* Handful of thread sync improvements.
* Fixed on-the-fly interpreter/recompiler configuration.
* Fixed plugin hotswapping (mostly works, but still a little funny at times)
* All new assertion dialogs and popup message handlers.
* RecentIsoList defaults to 12 instead of 6
Dev Notes:
* I had to create a new set of assertion functions called pxAssume*. Originally I hoped to avoid that complexity, and just use a single one-assert-fits-all case, but turned out blanketly using __assume() for all assertion cases wasn't reliable.
* wxGuiTools: Replaced the operator, with operator& -- the latter has proper order of precedence, the former required () to scope correctly. >_<
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2339 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Fixed: More savestate slowness, and less savestate memory hogging.
SPU2-X: Fixed crash bug on using savestates while suspended.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1994 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Switched the SysCoreThread to a static (fully persistent) thread.
* Added some listeners for when the CoreThread status changes
* fixed some slowness in savestates, and the emu will now stall until savestates complete, if you try to exit too quick (avoids savestate corruption)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1993 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.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1950 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Rewrote Savestate code, fixed lots of stuff in PersistentThread, and renamed most "Emu"s to "Sys".
* Removed wxScopedPtr and whipped up our own ScopedPtr that doesn't use boost's fail-style function names (and made it more thread-safe).
* Handling exceptions across threads: Added Clone() and Rethrow() methods to BaseException, and added a Rethrow() to PersistentThread.
* Go rid of AppInvoke macros (those were nasty!)
