Jumps emulation to the initial state of an active input recording file whether boost or savestate. Makes it easier to reset savestate-based recordings.
* Overrides the Boot ISO/CDVD/Bios menu option.
Fix for Depth precision.
Game fills upper 16bits of depth with 0xFFFF.
This results in a really high 32 bit value which is then converted to float because both hw and sw renderers lack double precision the lower 16 bits of the initial 32 bit value lose precision.
I was expecting to add some more serials to SLUS (NTSC) but it seems to be more well maintained than the SLES (PAL). Most additions are demos but there are some normal full entries . Minor fixups on SLUS and other regions for names.
ChaosLegion
vuClampMode 2. Fixes SPS in the item menu. Found by EspeonScottie.
Dragons's lair
EETimingHack, VU0KickstartHack. Fixes hang and SPS.
Astro Boy (Atom)
eeRoundMode 0. Fixes character behaviour.
* IPU: Perform an interrupt on IPU_CTRL Reset.
Doing this reset performs a forced command end, meaning the IPU will run through the procedure of ending any command running and telling the core that it is done, even if there is no command currently active.

- Unification of terminology between all the strings.
- Changing quotation marks with the ones used in Spanish.
- Removal of some GT-like translations.
- Unification of parenthesis symbols.

- Checked fuzzy entries.
Fix for terrible performance in US versions of Primal (all the time) and Ghosthunter (when encountering Teddy Bear and in the moment of Gator-Man's rush attack, maybe few other cases), Both games use shared code with pretty dumb wait loops in the microcode, those are absolutelly unnecessary and significantly kill performance on emulator.

Let's Make a Soccer Team!, Virtua Pro Football, Pro Soccer Club o Tsukurou! Europe Championship, World Football Climax.
Technicals:
SLES-54151 reads data from SLES-54153 to allow importing players. Same with the Japanese equivalents.
The above pairing in reverse allows importation of custom teams exported in 54151's VS mode. Again, same with the Japanese equivalents.
SLPM-66442 is listed in PCSX2 Wiki but not in GameIndex.
This patches some values in Powerdromes VU microprogram, which restores the 3d models of the characters.
The game uses the extended PS2 float range to do some culling calculations, so I have brung them down to be usable by x86, no other way to really fix this game.
Update all documentation for 1.6.
Source files for documentation are in md format and are kept in pcsx2\pcsx2\Docs, final exported/converted docs are in pdf format (Configuration_Guide and PCSX2_FAQ).
Update First time wizard to reflect recent documentation changes.
Update cmake to reflect recent documentation changes.
PO/POT/MO Localisation needs to be updated for the First time wizard to include the documentation changes.
NSIS installer needs to be updated to reflect the recent changes.

- Evergrace (Full EE Clamping - fixes hanging going in-game.)
On Direct3D11 FMVinSoftwareHack in combination with FXAA or External
shader enabled cause the emulator to hang. This is only a temporary
solution, a real solution would be to fix the fmv issue instead.
This commit adds VU rounding modes (Positive) to Asobo games (Disney-Pixar WALL-E, Disney-Pixar Toy Story 3) which produces small lines in game.
Also add missing PAL entries to DB for Disney-Pixar WALL-E.
This commit add a patch to solve a crash in the game "Fahrenheit".
Found with the help of the dev-9 plugin and the PS4 emu.
This is a game bug trigger by a timing issue. The game have an internal crash reporting system
which rely on a debug server connected to the console.
When the game do an error, it expects the debug server to be connected to send the crash dump.
But that never happen on PCSX2 as the debug server is not present.
Thus, the game will enter in an infinite loop at the asylum level.
This only happen when certain conditions are meet in the game.
This patch makes the game to exit the loop by cancelling the debug reporting.
On top of that the game have no frame pacing system in place which causes a massive slowdown in loading screens.
Thankfully, this can be patched out.
Note: NTSC version is fine and doesn't require the patch.
