If someone has a more elegant solution, feel free to share it
spin_thread = 0
spin_thread = 1 // the faster but GS thread will never stop, very bad for laptop
It is faster on linux, it requires less code, and it is "portable"
It requires boost (only hpp files) + MSVC 2013 (for atomic) (seem doable by 2012 too)
Actually there are several queues that either use spinlock or full sleep
* Use tooltip for hack
* Update string of previous hack
* Remove unused hack
Note: hack_sprite_check requires 3 states (and potentially others hack too) but
I don't know how to do it. It likely requires a "scale button"
It works as bad as a "clever" implementation.
It seems to be enough for games such as venus/taisho-monoke/FFX
Note: it might creates glitches. Code will never be nice, so it is just
a trade-off
this is actually not a FTW issue but rather a console sources issue.
the console log sources are not c++ classes and therefore don't get initialized
other than when [attempting to] loading them from the ini file (where if the ini
doesn't exist then they get their default values). however, during first time
wizard, when choosing "overwrite", the console sources are saved without ever
getting loaded and so end up without the default values applied (so all sources
as disabled).
this patch makes sure that if we're saving the conlog sources before ever
attempting to load them, they'll get saved with the correct default values.
-1 is annoying because minimum value is 0. Instead to add more logic,
let's try to use 0 which seems to be good enough (fix regressions on DQ8/AT)
Unfortunately it causes a mini regression on taisho-mononoke. Rotation of sprite is done with 2 triangles.
Potentially previous value wrongly recover this section.
Tekken is broken with setting UserHacks_round_sprite_offset = 2 use 1 instead.
=> game use upscaling internaly so my rounding of coordinate break everything
Yakuza uses float coordinate but this hack only correct the integer coordinate
=> the solution will be to add a dedicated hack for this game.
Colin3 got a regression but I don't know when...
PS2 uses a -0.5 offset before sampling so texels must be rounded to half-pixel boundary
If fixes glitches on Venus and taisho-mononoke
Note: I didn't fixed yet texture render in reverse because I don't have any test for it.
