Group opengl calls into a nice name.
Apitrace shows them in a tree format that support folding. Previously it
was a long flat list (10K-40K of lines by frame)
I align the call number with the internal s_n variable. This way it is
easy to map GSdx dump output with the GL debugger :)
If there is no overlap, it is allowed to directly read from the render target.
On SotC testcase with 6x scaling: 30fps -> 40fps
Note: it requires GL_ARB_texture_barrier extension so be sure to have a recent driver
Note2: it requires a lots of testing too
Open question: in case of complex date (written alpha)
Will it be faster to split the draw call into multiple call with no
primitive overlap
Note yet enabled because I'm afraid of data corruption but feel free to test it
The option:
ogl_vertex_storage = 1
Performance note (warm cache+gs replay on colin3)
60 fps -> 76 fps
UserHacks_UnscaleSprite = 1 will unscale flat sprites
UserHacks_UnscaleSprite = 2 will unscale all sprites (don't work well so far)
The idea of the hack is to redo the interpolation of texture coordinate
based on the non-upscaled pixel position.
It avoids various glitches but sprites aren't upscaled anymore (so no
more anti-aliasing, potentially a coefficient can be added).
* separate VS/GS and FS
* separate subroutine part of the FS
It already complex enough without subroutine stuff. Besides I'm not sure
we will keep subroutine on the future.
Note: of course it requires a glsl shader ;)
On windows, you can set the path on the ini file. Here an example with linux path:
shaderfx_conf = /home/gregory/playstation/emulateur/pcsx2_merge/bin/GSdx_FX_Settings.ini
shaderfx_glsl = /home/gregory/playstation/emulateur/pcsx2_merge/bin/shader.fx
Null is equivalent to a clear to 0.
Note: Code is not yet used because both stencil and depth are cleared.
Future note: stencil can potentially be replaced by load_store_image
* Only a single VAO
=> Format is set once
=> Only a single bind at startup
=> GSVertexBufferStateOGL is nearly useless
=> barely faster but better than nothing :)
A couple of fallbacks were introduced for the Mesa driver that only support 3.0
DSA will require a recent Mesa which already support GL3.3
Require at least SandyBridge for Intel GPU
* use DebugOutputToFile as a callback of gl error. Add a breakpoint to
find the culprit GL call
* use string instead of char[n]
Note: CheckDebugLog is potentially useless now
