Suggested by Gregory.
Change the checkbox to a drop down list Off, Fast, Full.
Off and Full do the same as before, the Fast option is new. Most of the
time users don't actually need full Accurate Date so why not reduce that
cost and use a fast mode instead, plus it can also be used on a gpu with
a limited driver. Also change the default value to Fast instead of Off.
Always enable unscale point and line hack on upscaled resolutions, and
purge the gui option.
It was discussed in the past with Gregoy that it can be enabled without
causing any issues which will be beneficial to getting rid of 1 less
option and fixing a bunch of fmv issues without relying on a gui toggle.
The code was never working properly ( tested by @tadanokojin ) so let's
clean up and remove it. If someone actually wishes to maintain it then
they can re add it and update the code to a functional stage.
Some users get confused and change the setting to a recommended option.
This can cause some issues when switching different hw render types.
Most of the time users shouldn't change the option and leave it on
Automatic.
Also remove ICO from crc Aggressive tooltip.
This should make things a bit easier for users when picking resolutions.
Native (PS2)
2x Native (~720p)
3x Native (~1080p)
4x Native (~1440p 2K)
5x Native (~1620p 3K)
6x Native (~2160p 4K)
8x Native (~2880p 5K)
Custom (Not Recommended)
Hack will no longer be active on Intel or AMD gpus.
Also remove UserHacks_disable_NV_hack. sprite hack
basically does the same thing so it's kinda useless.
Enhance the skipdraw hack by allowing skipdraw to skip a range of draw
calls.
For example: When the broken effects are at frames 90-100, the default
skipdraw always skips 0-100, possibly skipping several functioning
effects as well. By enhancing the skipdraw feature, it is now possible
to skip just frames 90-100.
For the example given above set the first box to 90 and the second box
to 100 to skip frames 90-100.

Add "Default" nametag for default list options for the hacks: Sprite,
Round Sprite, GL Advanced settings, HPO.
Should help users know which options are the default ones with less
confusion.
Add hidden option "UserHacks_DisableNVhack" to disable
the Nvidia hack on Direct3D which added black lines on the right
and bottom of the screen. Could be useful for Intel and AMD GPUs.
A better solution would be to add Vendor Id detection instead,
but this will do for now.
To disable the Nvidia hack add UserHacks_DisableNVhack=1 in GSdx.ini
Adds automatic HW mipmapping support.
It relies on CRC ids so if a game does
not have their CRC id but needs mipmapping
it will not work until the id is added.
Add GUI menu and tooltip for Automatic mipmap
"Automatic (Default)"
This option will be default option from now on.
Rename "Very Slow" text option to "Slow" for full mipmap
as it caused the text not to fit properly in the menu.
Credits also go to @RedPanda4552 and @ssakash for helping
with the code.
Add HW Hack that enables Framebuffer Conversion on the CPU instead of the GPU.
Can fix broken textures on games but at the cost of slower performance.
List of games: Harry Potter games, FIFA Street games.
Games like Call of Duty, Kung fu Panda might also be affected as well as others
especially on Direct3D.
Add HW Hack GUI option on Windows/Linux for 4-bit and 8-bit Framebuffer conversion hack
named "Frame Buffer Conversion".
* Windows behavior must be checked
* remove glsl_source.h
v2: fix missing include
Big thanks to Turtleli
v3:
fix indentation in gsdx-res.xml
add dependency in cmake
remove old res/glsl/fxaa.fx symlink
add tfx.cl for OpenCL support on Linux
v4, v5
fix cmake indentation
It is done automatically on Linux. Strings are much
better with this NULL char ;)
All credits go to turtleli
v2: increase resize instead of push_back NULL char
Move GL_ARB_copy_image to optional for OpenGL SW render.
It will allow Ivy Bridge to work with OpenGL SW as it's not required.
Sandy Bridge is not yet tested , would be nice if someone could test.
Clip Control is only used for the HW renderer.
It will help Nvidia DX10 GPU on Windows. Potentially old AMD GPU too.
Unfortunately Ivy bridge still misses texture copy
Note on Linux, you can use the free Mesa driver.
Otherwise, it is time to save money for a future upgrade :)
Adds Texture Filtering Of Display option to the Shader dialog window Windows UI.
Updates the layouts of the Shader and OSD dialog windows to more closely resemble the Linux GUI.
Reorganizes Hacks dialog window.
Adds UI elements for the Memory Wrapping and HPO v2/Special commits
Adds advanced OpenGL functions "Geometry Shader" and "Image Load Store" to the Windows UI.
Renames "Configure Hacks" to "Advanced Settings and Hacks", to more closely resemble the Linux GUI.
If a user switches renderer they also have to remember to change the CRC
hack level for the best user experience with the selected renderer.
This commit adds a new automatic CRC level that autoselects the
recommended CRC level for the selected renderer, so that a user doesn't
have to make the change manually.

Bilinear applies to all renderer
* Common code done in GSVertexTrace
* Extend it with forced but sprite (trade-off between linear/upscale glitches)
* Linux GUI option was moved at the top with the renderer selection
Trilinear is moved to OGL hack
close#1837
Thanks to Flatout for the review and feedback.
It will take care to update the Window GUI :)
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.
The previous implementation of HPO adds an offset on vertex position. It
doesn't always work beside it moves the rendering window.
The new implementation will add a texture offset so that instead to sample
the middle of the GS texel, we will sample the middle of the real texture texel.
It must be manually enabled with
* UserHacks_HalfPixelOffset_New = 1 (keep a small offset as intended by GS effect)
* UserHacks_HalfPixelOffset_New = 2 (no offset)
v2: always apply a 0.5 offset in case of float coordinates (Tales of Abyss)
Might break other games but few of them uses float coordinates to read
back the target
Code can be enabled with "wrap_gs_mem = 1". Code only allow a single shared memory but
I don't think we need more anyway.
Linux only, Kernel panic expected with the HW renderer.
Fix FMV on Silent Hill 3 with the SW renderer
