cottonvibes ac9bf45f98 pcsx2: Implemented Threaded VU1 :D
Threading VU1 took a lot of rewrites and new code to make possible (MTGS, microVU, gifUnit...), but we finally got to the point where it was feasible, and now we've done it! (so now everyone can stop complaining that pcsx2 only takes advantages of 2 cores :p).

The speedups in the games that benefit from it are great if you have a cpu with 3+ cores (generally a 10~45% speedup), however games that are GS limited can be a slowdown (especially on dual core cpu's).

The option can be found in the speedhacks section as "MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1)". And when enabled it should should show the VU thread-time percentage on the title bar window (Like we currently do for EE/GS/UI threads).

It is listed as a speedhack because in order for threading VU1 to have been a speedup, we need to assume that games will not send gif packets containing Signal/Finish/Label commands from path 1 (vu1's xgkick). The good news is very-few games ever do this, so the compatibility of MTVU is very high (a game that does do this will likely hang).

Note: vs2010 builds and Linux builds need to be updated to include "MTVU.h" and "MTVU.cpp".

svn_readme.txt Restructured the build system from the ground up. 3rdparty libs have been moved back into a /3rdparty folder, and are compiled as libraries. Most relevant plugins are part of the pcsx2_suite_2008.sln. Revision tagging of filenames is still there, but is now disabled by default. Pathnames with spaces shouldn't break the buildscripts anymore. Removed tons and tons of files in an effort to simplify the repository and build system management. So if a solution file you're used to using is missing, it's missing for a good reason (means the project can be built either from the Suite solution, or by double-clicking the project file from explorer, from which MSVC creates a new solution for you). 2009-02-24 02:08:37 +00:00
