The hack caused glitches to appear on the right side of the screen, the hack was used as a workaround to properly display game ui elements however it is no longer needed on opengl and d3d11. The ui elements are rendered properly with Depth Conversion.
Shadow issues are solved with at least partial level crc hacks.
See https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/2692 for more detailed information.
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.
Fixes right half screen issue on TalesOfLegendia. UI elements of the
screen are properly emulated with depth emulation on gl (possibly fixed
by
1cc696ab31).
Shadows will be glitchy if crc hack level is below partial level.
I'm not even sure if the hack is useful at all anymore since it
introduces issues now.
Issue #2692
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.
