The problem would cause lost controls or "Controller disconnected" messages in a few games.
This fix is temporary and only works with Lilypad, until we take care of the core issue.

- Use float instead of int for the video framerate.
- Use 59.94 instead of 60 for the ntsc framerate.
This replaces a previous hackfix with a better one, but it's still not ideal.
The ideal solution for the video encoding side would be to use an actual fraction (60000/1001) and pass this fraction to the encoder.
The ideal solution for the gsdx side would be to deduce the real framerate from the timing parameters.

Added a new option to the hacks section that sends a tabulator key press to PCSX2.
This toggles the turbo mode of the emulator, so users with pads don't have to reach out to the keyboard anymore when they want to switch between normal and turbo gameplay :)
Note:
I choose R3 for now since most games don't use that button. This could be made configurable in the future though.

See tools/dynacrchack/DynaCrcHack.c for full instructions.
For development of CRC hacks (and just for the fun of creating such a system), Allows GSdx to load and use CRC hack logic from an external DLL, and reload it, at runtime, whenever this DLL changes (but act normally if this DLL isn't found).
This external DLL is compiled from a single C source file (a sample is provided, containing the current MGS3 CRC hack logic). There's also a system to automatically compile this C file into the DLL whenever the C file is modified, thus creating a system of instant [save C file] -> [GSdx switches to the new logic].
It's actually a pretty cool system, and might have other usages where it's useful, for the sake of tests/development/tweaking, to modify code logic during runtime. The overhead of such system compared to pre-compiled code is very low (e.g., in the case of CRC hacks which are called thousands of times/sec, I couldn't notice any difference in performance).
Compilation of the C file is currently done using TCC (Tiny C Compiler - http://bellard.org/tcc/ - extremely fast, light and powerful). TCC itself needs to be downloaded separately (~250K download, no install required). The system currently supports Windows only.

- Upgraded some components of qemu-usb with a somewhat newer version from late 2010 (it was a recent version when I did the upgrades).
- Fixed the plugin to work with recent versions of pcsx2.
I will try to integrate the plugin into the build system tomorrow, and fix some more issues.

Important: this is not a fix of the cause of the crashes, it just bypasses cases of sure crash. Once that spot is bypassed, things can go wrong elsewhere. Generally, however, things just continue normally. E.g. GT4 (camera changes), Tourist Trophy (camera changes), MGS3 (codec screen when CRC hacks are disabled) and probably more - now don't crash anymore, even at high resolution (but might still get some slowdowns).

Refactored the ProLogicII code into a separate file and changed it to floating point math for easier debugging.
Added a basic ProLogic decoder that doesn't try to do surround separation into L/R.
The setting does not have a GUI option yet, since the PLII decoder is experimental and doesn't give too good results.
To change it, set DplDecodingLevel to one of: 0=none, 1=ProLogic, 2=ProLogicII. The default is 0.

Causes internal buffer size allocations to be as small as possible within portaudio and the OS, so it can have bad effects if the number turns out to be too small.
Would be nice if someone with a "real" audio card (Audigy, X-fi or similar) tested WASAPI Exclusive Mode, KS or ASIO with this change.

On 4840 I added dynamic tuning (which may have slight negative effect on stability) to adapt to different iterations/sec of different systems, but I didn't like this system too much. On 4840 I also made a small change which, I now understand, factors out the differences between systems in this regard, essentially making dynamic tuning not required anymore. So now dynamic tuning is disabled.
If you enable the SPU2X messages (and the overrun messages), you would see log messages similar to this:
buffers: 44 ms ( 89%), tempo: 1.000000, comp: 1.000, iters: 764, (N-IPS:750 -> avg:50, minokc:50, div:100)
If the iters value (764 at this example) on your system when running at 100% speed (50/60fps) is higher than 1000 or lower than 500, then please comment here and post few of the log lines.

1. Much better behavior at extreme low/high FPS (less skips/lower latency).
2. As a result, I was able to reduce internal latency by 50% (50ms config now equals 100ms before).
Recommended latency config for stretcher: 100ms.
For rhythm games, if your FPS is very stable, I recommend 50ms.

Summary of changes...
Fixed menus and HUD for Spyro: A New Beginning and Spyro: the Eternal Night.
Fixed missing dialogs and reduced the VRam usage a bit for Tales of Legendia ("8-bit textures" help a bit more with Vram/speed). Should be playable now in hardware mode. Thanks to rama for figuring it could be hackfixed this way and the initial patch :)
Half-screen fixes for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, X-men Origins: Wolverine, Call of Duty: World at War - Final Fronts.
Modified the Star Wars: Force Unleashed hackfix a bit, shouldn't have the see-thru objects anymore.
Also modified the Metal Gear Solid 3 and Gran Turismo 4 hackfixes as they needed different skip values for each region (PAL/NTSC). Thanx to avih for the region code... and the free C/C++ lessons :P
The hackfix for Sly 3 was still showing stripes for 3-D and two-player modes, fixed for NTSC version now and hopefully works for PAL one too.

(they were crashing with the new Gif rewrite... shouldn't anymore)
Although Jake had added the new "GSgifTransfer" callback to these plugins in the past, he forgot to modify the .def files so pcsx2 can actually use them :p
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4832 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Pcsx2 now has a gifUnit class which acts like the ps2's gif and executes a single gif transfer at a time (and performs path arbitration according to priority and path3 slicing).
This new code is generally a speedup for most games. Particularly VU heavy games like GoW.
This revision breaks old saved state compatibility so don't update if you wish to keep playing with your old saved states.
Leave comments if this revision fixes or breaks anything...
Message to GS Plugin authors:
This new code now uses only 1 gif callback to transfer data to the gs plugin (GSgifTransfer).
pcsx2 also is garaunteed to send full GS primitives to the plugin. So you don't have to account for partial-transfers anymore.
Thanks goes out to shadowlady who tested around 500 games for me :D
Note 1: The old gif code is still in this revision, and can be enabled by the USE_OLD_GIF macro. The old code will be deleted soon.
Note 2: This revision also enables assertion dialogs in devel builds, and changed a lot of assume cases into assertions.

Should prevent erratic tempo variations near 100% speeds (compared to the previous implementation), and generally allow much lower latencies while keeping the audio stable (on all audio systems).
E.g. my tests show that at 70ms latency it can properly handle sharp speed variance of 50%-100%. If your game generally doesn't get slower than 70% speed, 50ms latency would probably be fine.
Note that on extreme scenarios (e.g. extreme sharp drops in speed) it doesn't try to keep the audio continues at all costs. If your game exhibits such behavior (audible clicks, etc), increasing the latency a bit at the config would help.
Comments on actual performance/quality on different systems would be greatly appreciated.
