Remove the EE Timing hack from the Full Spectrum Warrior Series, my tests show that it doesn't do anything.
Disable the mVU Flag Speedhack for Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers. This fixes bad graphics in FSW.
Move a hack that removed burning/hot air effect. The effect is rendered properly but causes slowdowns so it's best to move it to aggressive for now.
Add comments explaining what the crc hacks do.
This PR add an Emotion Engine clamping fix for Drakengard 2 (tested by Shadow Lady), and Mvu flag fix for Full Spectrum Warrior (Tested by CK1) along with missing serials entries.
It also adds MemCardFilter for Galaxy Angel II - Mugen Kairou no Kagi to be able to recognize the progression acquired from the first disc.
Ease the crc hack and skip less effects, makes shadows and some other effects work properly.
The game experiences a bit more upscaling issues which can be resolved with Merge Sprite and Wild Arms offset HW hacks.
This PR brings some patches to fix various unplayable games (made by Prafull).
It also adds comments for Savage skies to warn users to use the interpreter + cache, a missing rounding fix for some versions of Shin Megami Tensei 3, and an Emotion Engine timing fix for NBA Shootout 2003 (tested by someother1ne).
In games like ICO where the render and blanks both need to be rounded,
one was prioritized over the other one leading to a truncated value in
the total vsync cycles. This patch fixes it, it's more or less for a
trivial cycle accuracy rather than a signfifcant change which might
influence games. (Not sure, maybe it would?)
Potentially it might be nice to revamp the whole vertical blank
calculation system to make it more readable (discussed about this with
ref), but it's not of much priority right now.
The C spec states that the va_arg argument value is indeterminate after
returning from vfprintf. va_end and va_start must be called before the
variable is reused.
Avoid always setting the dialog to the centre of the screen - the GTK+3
documentation advises against it.
Avoid using a GUI callback - it's unnecessary since the value can just
be retrieved afterwards.
Simplify the GUI construction - a container to handle layout isn't
necessary due to the GUI's lack of complexity.
IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT will return success even if the read
fails (I'm not sure when it'll return failure). Assume the read is
successful only when the read length is correct.
This isn't the right fix for this game, the text issue is caused due to a bug on GSdx depth test, and is not a
core issue. These rounding modes for some reason only partially alleviate the issue (https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-GSDX-Software-mode-Bug-Report-Teen-Titans-Load-Game-menu-not-displaying-text-where-it-should)
while not fully fixing it, ZeroGS on the other hand doesn't have this issue even without these rounding mode changes.
TL;DR - Issue is on GS, and it's troublesome when a GS issue is masked like this.
This reverts commit 4765770dc8.
Add EE patches for Spyro New Beginning and Eternal Night NTSC/PAL.
Fixes HUD and menu display in hw/sw mode.
Original patches provided by Kozarovv, improved by Refraction.
Purge Hw hack fixes for Spyro New Beginning and Eternal Night that fixed
HUD and menu display.
They will be replaced with EE patches in GameDB that work for both
software and hardware mode. A much better alternative and less GSdx
hacks.
Port from commit b0af54d3
Fixes shadows in Star Ocean 3.
Note: It works properly on native res only just like on GL.
Upscaling will cause some issues.
Only Direct3D10/11 supports it, D3D9 doesn't support integer operations
so we can't reuse the code.
