Automatic, same as before, automatically enable based on height delta.
Force Disabled, fully disables the half bottom detection.
Force Enabled: Fully enables the half bottom detection.
Rename Automatic CRC Level label back to CRC Hack Level.
Rename Accurate Date label to DATE Accuracy.
Rename Accurate Blending label to Blending Accuracy.
Remove 10x and 12x upscaling options, we don't want to hit the maximum
texture size limit and cause issues so better play it safe and allow
only up until 8x upscaling.
Reword the tooltip to make it a bit more fitting with it's current
behavior.
Add all games in the list that have some sort of aggressive state.
Update anisotropic filtering, autoflush sw, sparse texture, gl blending tooltips.
Partially replace the Linux ini code so that it:
- works on both Windows and Linux
- is backwards compatible with older GSdx inis
- properly handles UTF-8 ini pathnames
Fix an issue with GSdx on Windows not being able to handle non-ASCII
ini pathnames.
A short summary how d3d option behaves compared to gl.
None d3d-> behaves the same
Basic d3d-> even less than 1/3 of Basic opengl.
Medium d3d -> less than 1/3 of Basic opengl.
High d3d -> 1/3 of Basic opengl.
Note: Medium and High options are mostly intended for debug use.
Change the name to Accurate Blending so it fits more with Date option
next to it, get rid of low/high end recommended nametag for the list and
just use Recommended for Basic level, lot of users seem to be using high
for "high end pc" which they shouldn't.
* Use GLExtension::Has in cold path
* Throw error at first error
* Remove aniso check, all hardware support it. Bonus add GL4.6 extension support
* Remove viewport array check. We replace the function pointer anyway
We are removing MSAA for the following reasons:
1. It's broken
2. Fixing it would mean it would perform as well as FSAA, which defeats the purpose of having it
3. It's only supported by DX and Windows
4. Reduction in code complexity
Press F to pay respect
Idea is to disable multiple features in 1 option to avoid gui clutter.
Unscale Point and Line:
This partially reverts PR #2710 restoring Unscale Point and Line but as a disable option.
It can help Xenosaga games.
GS Memory clearning:
This disables GS memory clearing to be done on the CPU, by default both gpu and cpu do memory clearing
which is more accurate.
It can help Kingdom Hearts games.
Some games don't play nice with the option and have huge amounts of
ram/vram spikes that can even lock up the system so it's better to have
the option disabled by default.
And the time has come to say good bye (good riddance?), this build removes Direct3D9 entirely from GSdx. D3D9 is/was holding us back in some D3D11 fixes that we want to further implement.
The last build that supports D3D9 is v1.5.0-dev-2779-g1a61148b0 for anyone still interested.
"Press F to pay respect.
D3D9 will be broken once #2756 is merged so let's disable it to avoid
any potential crashing if the render is selected.
Complete D3D9 purge will shortly follow afterwards.
Suggested by Gregory.
Change the checkbox to a drop down list Off, Fast, Full.
Off and Full do the same as before, the Fast option is new. Most of the
time users don't actually need full Accurate Date so why not reduce that
cost and use a fast mode instead, plus it can also be used on a gpu with
a limited driver. Also change the default value to Fast instead of Off.
Always enable unscale point and line hack on upscaled resolutions, and
purge the gui option.
It was discussed in the past with Gregoy that it can be enabled without
causing any issues which will be beneficial to getting rid of 1 less
option and fixing a bunch of fmv issues without relying on a gui toggle.
The code was never working properly ( tested by @tadanokojin ) so let's
clean up and remove it. If someone actually wishes to maintain it then
they can re add it and update the code to a functional stage.
Some users get confused and change the setting to a recommended option.
This can cause some issues when switching different hw render types.
Most of the time users shouldn't change the option and leave it on
Automatic.
Also remove ICO from crc Aggressive tooltip.
This should make things a bit easier for users when picking resolutions.
Native (PS2)
2x Native (~720p)
3x Native (~1080p)
4x Native (~1440p 2K)
5x Native (~1620p 3K)
6x Native (~2160p 4K)
8x Native (~2880p 5K)
Custom (Not Recommended)
Hack will no longer be active on Intel or AMD gpus.
Also remove UserHacks_disable_NV_hack. sprite hack
basically does the same thing so it's kinda useless.
Enhance the skipdraw hack by allowing skipdraw to skip a range of draw
calls.
For example: When the broken effects are at frames 90-100, the default
skipdraw always skips 0-100, possibly skipping several functioning
effects as well. By enhancing the skipdraw feature, it is now possible
to skip just frames 90-100.
For the example given above set the first box to 90 and the second box
to 100 to skip frames 90-100.

Add "Default" nametag for default list options for the hacks: Sprite,
Round Sprite, GL Advanced settings, HPO.
Should help users know which options are the default ones with less
confusion.
Add hidden option "UserHacks_DisableNVhack" to disable
the Nvidia hack on Direct3D which added black lines on the right
and bottom of the screen. Could be useful for Intel and AMD GPUs.
A better solution would be to add Vendor Id detection instead,
but this will do for now.
To disable the Nvidia hack add UserHacks_DisableNVhack=1 in GSdx.ini
Adds automatic HW mipmapping support.
It relies on CRC ids so if a game does
not have their CRC id but needs mipmapping
it will not work until the id is added.
Add GUI menu and tooltip for Automatic mipmap
"Automatic (Default)"
This option will be default option from now on.
Rename "Very Slow" text option to "Slow" for full mipmap
as it caused the text not to fit properly in the menu.
Credits also go to @RedPanda4552 and @ssakash for helping
with the code.
Add HW Hack that enables Framebuffer Conversion on the CPU instead of the GPU.
Can fix broken textures on games but at the cost of slower performance.
List of games: Harry Potter games, FIFA Street games.
Games like Call of Duty, Kung fu Panda might also be affected as well as others
especially on Direct3D.
Add HW Hack GUI option on Windows/Linux for 4-bit and 8-bit Framebuffer conversion hack
named "Frame Buffer Conversion".
