- Conservative Buffer Allocation will be enabled by default.
- Unscaled has a lesser visual impact but will be moved to the middle so it is more consistent with the other options in the GUI.
- Monitor will hence be named Statistics Monitor which makes it more obvious that it's similar to RivaTuner Statistics Server.
- The monitor will print the stats of the emulated components EE (roughly CPU-usage) , GS (roughly GPU-usage).
- Make room for the new checkboxes with revision of names and tooltips.
- GPU (color) Palette Conversion instead of 8bit textures (the name didn't make much sense).
Use SwSpriteRender to render sprites, which:
- fixes kaioken effect,
- fixes character outlines when upscaling,
- reduces frametime by up to 3ms with big upscaling factors.
Automatic, same as before, automatically enable based on height delta.
Force Disabled, fully disables the half bottom detection.
Force Enabled: Fully enables the half bottom detection.
Developed a new SW sprite render function, which is used to fix
Jak and Daxter colors in Jak games and to remove the old Jak games hack
which yielded wrong colors and clashed with TC search texture in RT function.
- Remove OO_JakGames hack for palette readback from framebuffer (slow,
clashes with texture in RT TC function, clashes with Target readback logic)
- Developed new method SwSpriteRender with CPU rendering logic
- Add OI_JakGames method using SwSpriteRender for CPU palette rendering (fast,
does not clash with texture in RT TC function, no readback required)
Bonus: fps also sees an improvement in Jak games 3-5 increase.
It will allow to render the shadows properly.
Rendering pattern is:
Save RG channel with a kind of a TS (replaced by a copy in this hack),
compute shadow in RG,
save result in alpha with a TS,
Restore RG channel that we previously copied to render shadows.
It works on games such as Fifa Street 1 and 2 (character and stage
rendering), mission impossible operation surma (shadow rendering).
It needs at least Basic level of blending enabled on d3d11.
Proof of concept. It should provide a huge speedup when accurate
blending is enabled for tri-ace / Jak / R&C (shadow rendering).
See #2894
Need PR#2892
v2: Add const + comment to explain that code isn't ideal.
Idea is to disable multiple features in 1 option to avoid gui clutter.
Unscale Point and Line:
This partially reverts PR #2710 restoring Unscale Point and Line but as a disable option.
It can help Xenosaga games.
GS Memory clearning:
This disables GS memory clearing to be done on the CPU, by default both gpu and cpu do memory clearing
which is more accurate.
It can help Kingdom Hearts games.
Remove GSCrc.h include in GSRendererHW and GSRendererDX11, file is
already included in GSState.h.
Remove GSRenderer.h include from renderers except Null and CL, file already
included in TextureCache hw/sw.
Remove resource.h include from GSRendererDX11, already included in GSDevice11.
Remove GSOsdManager.h from GSDeviceOGL, already included in GSDevice
The hack was used when depth emulation was not supported or when depth
is disabled.
It causes graphical glitches with the faces when depth is disabled.
It fixes a bunch of shadow/transparency issues.
Fast DATE doesn't rely on the gui option and is always on.
Confirmed fixed issues: Persona 3 shadows on d3d11,
Digital Devil Saga Transparency d3d9/11.
Fast accurate date works the same/similar to OpenGL.
Confirmed fixed issues: DBZ BT3 ground shadows, Fifa Street 1 shadows
on all d3d renders as well.
Also this option doesn't cause other transparency issues like the
Alpha Stencil hack.
Note: If Alpha Stencil is enabled Fast Date and Fast Accurate Date will
be disabled.
Note2: Full Accurate Date is not implemented so the code fallbacks to
Fast mode instead.

This will probably be the last feature d3d9 gets before getting purged.
This pull request is for the pending reorganization of the folder structure on GSdx,
making it better organized and easier to work with.
Also remove unused GSTextureFX.cpp file.
