It must work fine without it now.
From the google code comments:
It would be nice to test those games
* Ar Tonelico 2 (line in sprite regression?)
* breath of fire dragon quarter (overlayed user interface in the game)
v2: update Dx code to use the good format
It creates a regression on game that uses a small temporary target to
upload textures of various sizes. Inital code was done to handle direct
frame write (background, FMV) so big target
CID 168626 (#1 of 1): Uninitialized scalar field
uninit_member: Non-static class member m_end_block is not initialized in this constructor nor in any functions that it calls.
Update done on f712c5c6d0
Previous code use the size of the draw to compute latest block. I
don't know why I use .x/.y which are the origin offset so the start of the block.
Fix#1457 (GTA)
The game uses a depth format for a pure color buffer (cokes do ravage
in gaming industry)
However I'm really afraid that it migth break another effect in other games.
* Improve frame buffer height management on custom resolution. Width seems to be fine with the same size as scaled image output.
* Prevent offset issues on Persona 3 based on the data from merge circuit.
Note: Fixes custom resolution upscaling on ICO 50Hz/60Hz mode when large frame buffer is enabled. previously 60Hz mode only displayed half of the screen and 50Hz mode only worked due to the scissor hack.
* Ignore Frame memory offsets for calculating dimensions value of display rectangle.
* Remove hack which limited scaling size based on the scissor value.
Note: With the following commit, SilentHill 2 now properly outputs the desired resolution by the users on custom resolution. Previously if we set 1024 x 1024 , it'll output a lower height value which was caused by the hack removed on this commit.
Issue1: Depth buffer is wrongly invalidated only the first page is detected.
Issue2: First page seems to be partially written. Could be a GSdx transfer bug.
Anyway, invalidation only support a page granularity.
So here a quick workaround that will clear depth buffer in case of very small partial write.
Might worth to check regression on nocturne/digital saga
GSOffset is already based on a lookup of PSM/BP/BW. Coverage only adds
the size parameters (so only 256 possibilities)
It replaces the hash lookup with a free array access.
The hypothesis is that game will use a depth (aka Z32/Z24/Z16/Z16S)
format when sampling depth texture as color. Technically one could use
a standard color format but block/pixel order won't be the same.
(otherwise I'm screwed)
=> Hypothesis invalid on GoW. They just do a scrambled rendering...
Lookup info:
* The first searched list is the depth pool as we search a depth
texture.
* 2nd one is the render target pool (if a depth was converted to a
render target already)
To avoid any CPU overhead, the source will be a pointer to the real texture
* Conversion (if float texture) will be done on the fly by the shader (GPU).
* Relative rescaling won't be supported. Texture must be fetched with
integral coordinate
