- DMA Execution hack - Fixes Fatal frame problems by ignoring dma transfers while another one is being executed.
- VU XGkick hack - Fixes Erementar Gerad by delaying XGkick. Similar to what SO3 needs, except this game needs more delay. Emulating this correctly is impossible with the current DMAC system, and will most-likely never be fixed correctly. The best (and fastest) way to simulate proper behavior is with a gamefix. (Super VU was doing this by a CRC hack, but I changed it to use this gamefix instead along with microVU.)

* Changed w32pthreads library into a DLL so that it can be used from plugins correctly. (NOTE: you will need to make sure to build and copy w32pthreads.dll into your pcsx2 folder).
* Switched pcsx2 from static CRT to shared CRT linking (needed to ensure correct exception handling behavior in multithreaded DLL environments).
* Switched all standard plugins in the Suite to the shared CRT, to match pcsx2's new style. :)
* Renamed _DEBUG (depreciated) to PCSX2_DEBUG (excluding Gabest projects since the ATL still uses it).
* Added intrin.h to Pcsx2Defs.h (so that it is included universally), and added intrin_x86.h for GCC compatibility.
Notes:
* Current plugin version compatibility status should be unaffected. The new shared-CRT plugins work fine with older versions of Pcsx2, and the older plugins should work fine with the new shared-CRT version of pcsx2; so long as the necessary CRT DLLs are available on the user's system.
* All future packagings of pcsx2 will include w32pthreads.dll and the Common Runtimes (CRTs).
* Existing users who do not have MSVC installed can obtain the CRTs by downloading the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (anyone with msvc installed should already have all they need).

- Removed flaghack1 since it didn't do much over flaghack2 (except break games :p).
Flaghack2 is now renamed to "Status Flag Hack", and so-far we haven't found a single game it breaks, so compatibility is high.

microVU speedhacks are also available in the speedhacks dialog.
All the GUI stuff took me a few hours, so hopefully I didn't bug anything.
Note to users:
Please remember that microVU is a W.I.P. and will have bugs; but it also fixes some games Super VU has problems with. So have fun testing.

* Smartened up the microprogram cache. Programs are (quite accurately) selected based on how often and how recently they have been used. Solves constant recompilation issues in games like FFXII and Tekken 5 [but not the SPS, sorry!].
* Changed memory allocation so that microprogram blocks are allocated *on demand* -- this saves a lot of memory and makes it possible to test 64-program caches (which would previously fail due to exceeding 2gb ram allocations!). Also fixed a few small memory bugs in Init/Alloc, and made it so mVU only allocates memory once instead of on every reset. :)
* Tweaked uses of progSize in microVU.h so that it's consistent [all instances of progSize are (vumem_size / 4) now]

Related new speed hack, fast-forward a block starting at 0x81FC0 which some games (FFX) run a lot. This block is also excluded from the previous feature.
Rearrange configuration file and speed hack dialog.

iMMI.cpp: Removed mucho dead pre-SSE2 code. (old code can be grabbed from a tagged revision, in case it's useful for future reference).

- added microVU_Execution.inl
- dispatcher stuff is now recompiled with pcsx2's emitter instead of using inline asm, its cleaner than inline asm and its more portable since the asm won't have to be ported to GCC.
- lots of first-pass implementation for lower opcodes
- implemented documented branch behavior (first pass stuff only)
Note: theres some undocumented stuff branches do according to Nneeve's tests, but i won't implement those for now since 99% of games shouldn't need it, and according to the tests, the behavior seems kind-of random/erratic.

* Fixed a couple potential bugs in some Rm forms of MMX instructions.
* Improved compilation times by isolating BaseBlockEx.h to the files the needed it (it uses STL junks).
* Removed some dead code form emitters and BaseBlockEx.

- Moved one global variable for the VU interpreters, which surprisingly speeds up Star Ocean 3 for me.
- Set Flush to Zero for FPU and VU back to on. Let's see how long it lasts this time :p
- Removed the FFX hack from pcsx2! It's still toggled in the GS plugins, the correct behaviour is having it always on.

- Brought back a gamefix for Persona games. They still have missing geometry without it (VU clip flag problem)

Because of a convenient bug in load state function, older save states with no saved pad info should still work. Don't blame me if they don't, though.

Appended notes:
* ADD in iFPUd should be bit accurate (unless it isn't. needs TESTING)
* MUL in iFPUd with Software Emulate MUL is as much as I could get near bit accurate (not quite enough, probably. needs TESTING)

* Fixed Memcard init so that Memcard1 isn't default in both slots (oops!)
* Fixed Memcard path logic so that cards outside your pcsx2 folder can be browsed/selected.
* Fixed CDVD-to-BIOS time sync (I simply forgot a function call!)
* Optimized yuvrgb_sse2, by using Mod/RM form instructions.
* Win32: Same optimization applied to FreezeXMMRegs and FreezeMMXRegs (linux already had this optimization)

* Moved most of the shared code between the two GUIs into platform independent source modules (System.cpp, Saveslots.cpp, and RecoverySystem.cpp)
* Created two new namespaces which house functions that need to be implemented by OS/platforms: HostGui and HostSys. HostGui is useful -- HostSys I'm not sure I'll keep around in the long run.
* Moved keyEvent struct from PS2Edefs.h to PS2Etypes.h
* Many improvements to the logic flow of the GUI (should be a little less fallible).

Developers: Changed the way PCSX2_ALIGNED16 macros work, so that they're more friendly to MSVC and Visual Assist X intellisense (more more red squigglies on vars like cpuRegs!)

I'll put up a wiki soon which covers new compilation features and stuff, like how to re-enable revision tagging, and how you can direct compiled exe/dlls to be copied to any destination of your choice (yay!) -- plus many other compiling tips (if I can remember them all! >_<)
