Pretty big speedup in games with lots of GIF activity (Soul Calibur 3 goes from 40 to 48fps).

Linux note: There's a chance as usual that this might break something in Linux because Linux and Windows STL headers have different dependencies. Namely <algorithm> might still be needed in on some of the PrecompiledHeaders. If so, just re-add it and commit, and make a note: // yes GCC really needs this one :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3295 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fix for random crashes when recording movies (F12). It still doesn't seem 100% stable, but it's a heckuva lot better than before.
* Log options dialog behavior bugfixes.
* Cleaned out some old hacks for handling hotkeys from the GS window, and implemented proper use of GSwindow-local hotkey mappings vs. global hotket mappings.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3292 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* GameDB: Remove the game database from the Settings panel, since it's kinda slow still and it started to drive me nuts. I haven't added another menu option to open it up yet (it will be in its own dialog), but I will soon.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3290 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Print a fatal_error when users do not source the good CMakeLists file.
* Do not search system libraries if the user force the internal libraries
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3269 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Much header file cleanup and used forward declarations to remove a lot of excess includes; might help improve build times a wee bit.
* Preliminary hash-table implementation for the Game database.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3264 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fullscreen mode should be remembered/applied properly now.
* implemented --fullscreen and --windowed options
* Made the --help popup a lot prettier
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3249 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* renamed PersistentThread to pxThread (shorter, sweeter, and the 'persistent' part is obsolete since its now a full blown thread manager since some while ago).
* Renamed a bunch of the PostMethodToMain stuff to Rpc_TryInvoke* (for remote procedure call). It's probably not a good use of the term, but I'm bummed I can't think of anything better/shorter.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3238 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added 3-state checkbox support to pxCheckBox.
* Fixed some buggy behavior when closing PCSX2 with either main window or console window minimized (window positions would get screwy)
DevNotes:
* Moved ImplementEnumOperators macro to Common headers and improved it a bit.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3220 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Various configuration dialogs remember their positions now. :)
* AboutBox is fixed, and is now resizable.
* Fix for Issue 739 : usermode.ini hashes are now case-insensitive on Win32.
* Likely Fix for Issue 740 : missing text on Linux/GTK. (need confirmation)
DevNotes:
* Moved IniInterface.cpp/h to the Utilities lib. Linux makefiles will need to be updated. >_<
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3178 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Major bugfix to the startup/user path settings code (should fix issues some people were having when trying to run multiple copies of pcsx2 from different folders).
* Various bugfixes to panel appearances
* Win32: "stdio" console output now redirects to theVisual Studio Debug Output window, since Stdout is generally useless on windows.
Emulation:
* Removed the IOP SIF hack since it never did what I was hoping it would do anyway.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3176 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Todo note: The plan is to make the Gamefixes dialog match the new way the speedhacks dialog is laid out, with the disable checkbox at the top (in case someone wants to try their hand at it!).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3171 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Various small cleanups to emitters and microVU's regalloc code (no functional changes)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3162 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
The panel is currently under "Emulation Settings", feel free to move it where-ever is appropriate.
If you have a game loaded the editor will automatically load the game's info, if not you can search for the game by typing the serial manually.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3152 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Console Log doesn't force itself into the focus anymore when it opens
* Suspend/Resume menu item updates more reliably.
* Changing plugin settings while suspended works nicer; less likely to crash/hang/etc (ironically, changing plugin settings while running was more reliable).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2976 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fixed some minor bugs when processing idle events.
* Plugin Load/Init/Shutdown/Unload are all called from the Main/UI thread again; this is important for plugins that issue popup warning/error messages.
DevNotes:
* Added ScopedPtrMT, a multithread-safe version of ScopedPtr.
* MTGS errors are still not handled as gracefully as they should be; namely the MTGS thread doesn't restart itself (it's on the TODO list).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2958 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fixed several obscure deadlock issues.
* Savestate actions block; such that only one load or save is permitted at a time.
* Savestates now work through temp files, so that the existing file is not corrupted in case errors occur.
* Exiting the emu while a savestate is saving will still save the state before completely quitting.
* Plugin init errors are handled more gracefully.
Developer Notes:
* Added some event diagnostic trace logging stuff.
* More preliminary work on memorycards -- moved them to their own dialog box and started implementing things, but still a lot of work to do before it's ready for use.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2936 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added versioning info to savestates! (along with some other bugfixes)
* Simplified the Boot and System menus -- removed the old Skip BIOS hack and replaced it with the new BOOT2 injection method (which is considered hack-free at this time).
* Removed lots of UI deadlock gotchas.
* Some new confirmation dialogs and better error handling.
* Implemented an exclusive SysExecutor thread, which serves the purpose of executing system/VM commands and events in uninterrupted order (including suspend, resume, savestates, etc.)
* ... and probably broke linux!
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2911 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also
* Tons of small UI bugfixes and cosmetic improvements, mostly to startup, first-time running, and resetting options.
* Added a third startup option for specifying a custom "default location" for PCSX2 files, in addition to user docs and CWD.
Devs:
* Implemented some more += operators for adding wxWidgets objects to sizers (pxStretchSpacer mainly).
* Preliminary re-implementation of memory cards panels -- still non-functional, so it's disabled.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2671 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Hopeful fix for GSwindow getting stuck maximized when pcsx2 crashes when fullcreen.
* Altered RestoreDefaults behaior for EE/IOP and VU CPU panels.
* CDVD Verbose Reads toggle takes effect immediately now.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2506 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Implemented GS window hiding on suspend (option was there, but not tied in)
* Added Frameskipping options
* Added option for disabling all GS output, for benchmarking EEcore stuffs.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2409 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
newVif:
* Bugfix to HashBucket::find() cuts microprogram caches misses in half.
* Dynarec version now uses alternating XMM registers for unmasked unpacks (very minor speedup, ~1%).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2397 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Implemented TlsVariable, a nifty alternative to __threadlocal, suitable for archaic operating systems that don't have native TLS support (namely Mac OS/X).
* Added a forced reference to TLS in AppInit so that TLS is sure to be available to DLLs (otherwise windows doesn't init TLS by default).
* Disabled TLS support in the x86emitter by default, since it's looking increasingly like we won't find a use for multithreading PS2 sub-components (can be re-enabled later if spontaneous brilliance at a later date proves me wrong).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2396 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fixed a savestate loading bug, when loading states made with different sets/versions of plugins.
DevNote:
* Moved some old PS2E types to PS2Edefs, since the new v2 plugin API won't use them (freezeData, keyEvent).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2380 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
PCSX2: attempt at fixing what appears to be a belated thread affinity issue during the cpuspeed detect.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2363 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added feature to align call targets for EErec functions and blocks on P4's and AMDs, and pack them on Core2/i7's.
* Fixed some svn:native props.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2347 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Configuration panels are all modal-less now, so that you can open the config panel and leave it open while running games.
* Handful of thread sync improvements.
* Fixed on-the-fly interpreter/recompiler configuration.
* Fixed plugin hotswapping (mostly works, but still a little funny at times)
* All new assertion dialogs and popup message handlers.
* RecentIsoList defaults to 12 instead of 6
Dev Notes:
* I had to create a new set of assertion functions called pxAssume*. Originally I hoped to avoid that complexity, and just use a single one-assert-fits-all case, but turned out blanketly using __assume() for all assertion cases wasn't reliable.
* wxGuiTools: Replaced the operator, with operator& -- the latter has proper order of precedence, the former required () to scope correctly. >_<
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2339 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Removed some hacks from cpuDetectInit's use of cpuId.
* Improved assertion checking for thread affinity.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2327 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Better error handling for when sVU fails allocating memory at a specific location (should fail less).
* Partial support for detecting and handling non-SSE2 machines with some grace.
* Improved sVU's allocation chances with a second try at another randomish address (and removed alloc fail spam from the console -- only logs on complete fail now).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2321 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Aspect ratio and mouse cursor hiding features should be mostly functional.
* Mouse cursor by default hides after 1.75 seconds of inactivity, when in the area of the GS window. Can be forced to always hidden in the control panel. Unlike the liilypad hack, this one won't hide the mouse in the main window or title bars. (and it should work for Linux too!!)
* GS window position and size should be remembered between sessions.
Console Logger window z-order is now "bound" to the main window. When clicking either window to bring it to focus, the other window follows (implemented for Win32 only, since wxWidgets doesn't have a cross-platform implementation of the necessary SetWindowPos call).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2275 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* ConsoleLogger Optimization: Improved performance considerably for when the log gets spammed by EEcore or MTGS threads.
DevNotes:
* Added a new pxYieldToMain() method (currently implemented in Win32 only). It provides a smart way to allow passive-task worker threads to yield time to the Main Thread when important messages are pending (keyboard or mouse clicks, primarily). It also replaces the wxGetApp().Ping() stuff, which never worked anyway due to wxCommandEvents having a higher priority than native system messages.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2253 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Cleaned up the operator overloads some more, and added operator, (yes, comma) to solve some ambiguity problems when trying to apply multiple attributes to a single window.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2252 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added bold text to indicate default options on CPU settings panels.
* Hitting 'Restore Defaults' activates the Apply button.
* Fixed some missing confirmation dialog text.
* More conversions of interface code to use the new += and | operators.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2251 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Dev notes:
* Renamed MtgsthreadObject to SysMtgsThread (matches naming pattern of other thread classes).
* Added accessors for GetMtgs() and GetCoreThread() [rationale for them documented in source comments]
* Removed wxHelpers namespace since we're using px name prefix instead for most stuff.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2238 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Botting NoDisc with "Skip BIOS" enabled should work now (untested).
* Renamed StaticText / StaticHeading helpers to simply Text and Heading.
* Made the iR5900 recompiler's stack alignment check a dynamic toggle instead of a dev/debug build preprocessor.
* Fix annoying linux linker errors.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2229 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
DevStuff:
* Added a handful of operator+= overloads for working with wxSizers -- moderately reduces code clutter. :)
* Commented some of the wxHelpers classes (pxStaticText, wxPanelWithHelpers, etc).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2221 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* ... more WIP stuff on the Video options panel.
* Spent 12 hrs working on crap text wrapping and window sizing issues.
* Moved several UI classes to utilities (lots of project changes, breaks linux)
* Fixed stilly bug in SPU2-X that prevented it from working (at all).
* Lots of code cleanups, and 1 or 2 bugfixes.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2212 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added support for indentation, as a replacement for using \t (options include methods SetIndent and Indent, and a ConsoleIndentScope class for scoped indentation of a block of WriteLns.)
* Use of Indent() as a modifier (the abstraction optionally allows use of indentation methods besides \t, if ever needed).
* Minor header file cleanups: wxWidgets standard headers are now always first in PrecompiledHeader.h files (is recommended due to cross platform setup code by wx).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2198 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Dev note: kinda reached a point where I'd like to make some revamps of the wxHelper classes based on better understanding of wx-in-practice. So I'm going to work on a significant refactoring of most pcsx2 panel constructors starting now. :)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2171 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Details:
* Intel's FXSAVE requires an aligned buffer (wasn't explicitly documented in the programmer's guide).
* I moved the wxMenu() objects in the wxApp constructor to OnInit(), which should be post-GTK initialization.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2115 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added SSE_MXCSR union/struct with bitfields and methods for doing common actions.
* Converted all existing MXCSR code to use the new union.
* Added a __pagesize macro for use in conjunction with __pagealigned and dynarec functions.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2113 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Renamed a bunch of functions/methods in the Threading namespace that have been bugging me for a while. (MutexLock is renamed to Mutex, Lock() is renamed to Aquire(), etc)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2102 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Rationale: FromAscii should only be used on old-style DOS/ANSI character strings that use the upper 128 characters for drawing pictures or writing umlauts, which is pretty much nothing at all as far as PCSX2 is concerned. Chances are even the japanese console logs coming from the PS2 itself use UTF8.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2092 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added more colors!
* VM's EE/IOP logs (the ones that come from the emulated games themselves) are colored accordingly: EE are faint cyan, IOP are faint yellow. They're intentionally "hard to read" because 99% of the time they're meaningless trivia (but still cool since it's what the actual devs would have used for developing the games!).
Dev Notes:
* Removed Console.Status (specify blue/green colors manually if you want them).
* Renamed Console.Notice to Console.Warning.
* I changed the overloads so that both char* and wxChar* versions work like printf now (no need to use wxsFormat when working with unicode strings). I also removed wxString& versions of the overloads. This should (I hope) also be an easier port to wx2.9 or 3.0, when that time comes.
* Default log color is now black instead of gray; typically you'll want to manually specify Color_Gray when doing high volume logging (like the EErec's block tracking in debug builds).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2091 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
(also includes some header file prepwork for my next wxWidgets windows.h commit fix)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2069 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Exception/Signal handling now uses an EventSource, so that multiple handlers can be registered. This is in preparation for (eventual) more complete MIPS TLB support in the VTLB memory model.
* Improved code isolation, so that recompiler-specific code is primarily in iR5900-32.cpp (cleans up Counters.cpp and SysCoreThread.cpp)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2063 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added -fno-strict-aliasing to the ever growing list of gcc optimizations that can potentially cause perfectly good C code to generate entirely broken results.
* Removed the preferred-stack=2, since this branch *should* run fine without it now.
* Have Release builds in Linux SIGKILL when encountering an unexpected SIGSEGV.
* Fixed some deadlock issues with the new console logger (it introduced cancel points, which is a good thing! unless you're the EE recompiler and you swallow up any attempt by GCC to cancel a thread)
* Compilation error fixes.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/aligned_stack@2049 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added timeBeginPeriod() to improve the Win32 kernel scheduler resolution (improves sleep accuracy and thread responsiveness)
* hackfixed some code that made exiting pcsx2 "slow" sometimes.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2041 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Implemented setjmp/longjmp method of escaping recompiled code, circumventing the deadly pitfalls of the g++ exception mess.
* Use longjmp to jump to a "safe" location (outside recompiled code) for suspending and canceling the SysCoreThread (see StateThreadCheck_LongJmp)
* I'm the stack daddy mack. That's right. Uh huh. Uh huh.
* Test for m_detached in PersistentThread::IsSelf, since Linux likes to recycle thread handles in a hurry (like, as in, consecutively)
* Fix a deadlock in the Consoole Log (seems to be GTK+ specific, and in fact I'm pretty sure wxApp->Yield() isn't thread safe and thinks it's recursive even when it's not)
