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.

Decrease spacing between Hardware Settings and Texture Filtering
slightly. It was a bit too much before,
Adjusted spacing to be equal between options, some had incorrect
spacing.
Maybe Accurate Date and Blending Unit Accuracy can be swapped.
Rearrange the two columns of HW hacks, new arrangement
is done in alphabetical order on Windows and Linux.
Rename some hacks on Linux to match the windows version.
Some other minor tweaks as well.
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".
The shadeboost options text (Contrast, Brightness, Saturation) were not
grayed out when shadeboost was disabled, it was sort of inconsistent
compared to the behavior of external shader, so added grayouts to them
when shadeboost is disabled.
Also changed "OpenGL Very Advanced Custom Settings" to "OpenGL Advanced
Settings", the verbosity didn't help much in my opinion.
* Windows behavior must be checked
* remove glsl_source.h
v2: fix missing include
Big thanks to Turtleli
v3:
fix indentation in gsdx-res.xml
add dependency in cmake
remove old res/glsl/fxaa.fx symlink
add tfx.cl for OpenCL support on Linux
v4, v5
fix cmake indentation
Adds merge sprite hack to GSDx hacks dialog
And ports merge sprite hack to Direct3D renderers.
Special thanks to my keyboards Ctrl, c and v buttons for all their hard
work in porting this hack.
Adds Windows GUI elements of the split texture filtering options.
Bilinear Texture Filtering is moved to the top section of the main GSdx window,
and Trilinear Filtering is moved to Hacks.
Adds Texture Filtering Of Display option to the Shader dialog window Windows UI.
Updates the layouts of the Shader and OSD dialog windows to more closely resemble the Linux GUI.
Reorganizes Hacks dialog window.
Adds UI elements for the Memory Wrapping and HPO v2/Special commits
Adds advanced OpenGL functions "Geometry Shader" and "Image Load Store" to the Windows UI.
Renames "Configure Hacks" to "Advanced Settings and Hacks", to more closely resemble the Linux GUI.
"Enable Hardware Depth" removed from main dialog.
"Disable Depth Emulation" and "Fast Texture Invalidation" added to Hacks
dialog.
And fix lots of whitespace issues.
GSDX: Improvements to the config interface.
- GSDX: Add new logos to dialog
- GSDX: Remove all the extra null renderers
- GSDX: Changes to renderer combobox
- Sort all the renderers in ascending order. (the fact that D3D11 was
above D3D9 really annoyed me >_<)
- Properly display usage of D3D10/D3D11 on the combobox.
- Use highest available version of DX by default.
- GSDX: gray out upscaling hacks at native resolution
- GSDX-PSX: Modifications to the dialog
- Add new logos
- Remove SDL renderer from combobox since it was removed long ago.
It would be on by default. Unsafe & fast path.
The hack is a security if someone encounters any issue
v2: update Windows gui file
v3: fix typo in tooltip and linux gui
The Wild Arms Offset text was slightly cut off due to the label being
too small. Make the dialog slightly wider so the full text will fit.
Someone should probably make the dialog look nicer at some point.
The following patch adds Mipmap option (software mode exclusive) and Preload Data Frame (Hardware mode exclusive) to the GSDX plugin settings for debug purposes.
All combobox text can now be seen in full without having to click on the
combobox.
The internal and custom resolution stuff has been moved into the Hardware
Mode Settings groupbox since it doesn't affect software mode.
The dialog has also been rearranged a bit.
upscale_multiplier function values have been changed to allocate native resolution and also move custom resolution to 9.
Remove the old native checkbox value and include Native in the combo box.
Internal GSDX functions have also been updated with this new update to the upscale_multiplier variable.
Changes the three-state checkboxes to comboboxes.
Removes the hack description box.
Hides Alpha and Alpha Stencil when OpenGL is selected.
Rearranges the hacks dialog.
This moves the hardware, non-renderer dependent options to the top and
makes the renderer options visible only when it affects the current
renderer.
The texture filtering checkbox has been changed to a combobox and now
uses the same description as Linux does.
Also changes the Title to GSdx Settings.
The CRC hack option is always used regardless of whether the HW Hack
checkbox is ticked. Move it to the main gsdx dialog and make it use the
same descriptions that are used in Linux.
And fix the accurate_blend_unit whitespace formatting.
Removes the checkbox of Anisotropic filtering from the GSDX plugin settings, the checkbox was usually used to enable & disable the AF which is not necessary since there is an option in the drop down list for disabling AF.
the internal function value of "AnisotropicFiltering" has been replaced with "MaxAnisotropy" for detection.
the detection uses the function getconfig("MaxAnisotropy", value) where value 0 means disabled and value is the default value when no value is set in the INI file.
The Wild Arms Offset hack can only be on or off. There is no third
state. Convert the three-state checkbox into a two-state checkbox, fix
the description and remove a leftover.
initialization of IDC_ROUND_SPRITE
set&get config for round offset.
three state checkbox for the hack.
define IDC for round offset.
Linux (GUI) refresh.
typo
Also disabled the gsdx AF options for the OGL renderer (because it's not implemented for that yet).

Adds anisotropic texture filtering (1x-16x) to the hardware settings. Enhances the visual quality of textures that are at oblique viewing angles.
Anisotropic filtering is automatically disabled if: 8-bit textures are enabled.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5878 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Slight adjustments to positions in the GUI also (OCD'd the spacing a little :P)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5796 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Added a check box and config code for the fxaa shader.
It's not currently hooked up since the shader setup might get replaced in a day or two.

Probably only of interest to testers (and me). Absolutely do NOT select the reference device even out of extreme morbid curiosity. It's not even very good at being a reference despite being slower than you can probably believe.

Now, a note about the actual issue. Destination alpha tests can be used on the GS as one of the workarounds for a lack of stencils. If you use a destination alpha test and leave alpha writing on, the GS will only write each pixel until you write an alpha value which would fail the test. This works to a point in gsdx without further hacking, but that point is when within a single batch of primitives the same pixels are written multiple times and the destination alpha test is expected to update. I did experimentally make a tight loop updating the stencil with a draw then drawing for one primitive at a time, but it was prohibitively slow (over 80% fps loss, you really don't want to know).
Destination alpha testing cannot be directly implemented in D3D9 or D3D10, but (probably) can in D3D11 (with a speed hit for sure, but I doubt it'll be 80%). I'll be getting a new graphics card and looking into that.
And before some idiot says it, the answer is no. OpenGL does not help.

- Added "Aggressive-CRC" checkbox at the HW hacks section of the config dialog.
- The following hacks are now activated only in aggressive mode:
- God of War 2: disable water effect/lines, disable global haze.
- FFX, FFX2, SSX3 (the full crc hack from r5214).
- Shadow of the Colossus: disable (over)bloom.
- Reverted the Valkyrie Profile 2 hack to pre- r5214.
- Some CRC fixes by comments on r5214.
- Regression fix of dynamic crc hack (INITIAL_MODE = 0 didn't compile)

Mouse over descriptions for the hacks. Thanks to KrossX again, these are great :)

Adding KrossX's Wild Arms text alignment hack to the new dialog box. This hack is actually very interesting for a number of games. It should work well in cases where game designers adjusted everything pixel perfect for the GS, that usually breaks with upscaling.
It should be generalized and renamed later.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5120 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Team effort of KrossX and myself:
Finally adding that special game fixes / hack dialog I talked about for a while.
Committing this in several steps to clean up any issues easier.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5116 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Committing a hack KrossX prepared (thanks) ;)
It can be used to fix bad character sprites in Gust games.

- 0: no multi-threading
- 1: gif packet processing and texture uploads run parallel with rendering, the slowest decides the fps, dual-cores can still suffer by the spin loops, I'll check that when I compile pcsx2 on my notebook
- 2: two rendering threads, on a decent cpu packet processing is going to be slower now, this is probably going to increase fps the most on quads
- 3: small fps increase
- 4+: even smaller.
If you have a quad cpu with HT, 6 is the max, 1 + 1 is needed for pcsx2 and gsdx's basic tasks.
Also hacked palette writes to not force a read-back in hw mode (added in previous rev), it hit render targets in a surprising large number of games.

Also added Valkyria Profile 2 Italy to the gamedb and GSdx crc list. By Leucos.
Thanks guys :)
