So to compensate lets bring back some speed to the emulation.
change a little the way the vertex are send to the gpu,
This first implementation changes dx9 a lot and dx11 a little to increase the parallelism between the cpu and gpu.
ogl: is my next step in ogl is a little more trickier so i have to take a little more time.
the original concept is Marcos idea, with my little touch to make it even more faster.
what to look for: SPEEEEEDDD :).
please test it a lot and let me know if you see any problem.
in dx9 the code is prepared to fall back to the previous implementation if your card does not support the amount of buffers needed.
So if you did not experience any speed gains you know where is the problem :).
for the ones with more experience and compression of the code please test changing the amount and size of the buffers to tune this for your specific machine.
The current values are the sweet spot for my machine.
All must Thanks Marcos, I hate him for giving good ideas when I'm full of work.
- Removed recent ghanges about separate per-game Video Settings
- Added "One Window 3-State Support" (very close to full implementation)

video backends.
This would be considerably easier if there was a way for me to have
fully working video in some sort of VM. If anyone has achieved that,
preferably with Linux but failing that with Windows, I would
appreciate any tips on how to set it up. VideoSoftware used to more
or less work in a VM, but I've never been able to get OpenGL to do
much more than open the window and display OSD messages.

in Initialize() and Video_Prepare(). Video_Prepare()
then becomes the entry point for associating the current
thread with the rendering context, which is currently
only known to be necessary for OpenGL.

- dislocating all sensible stuff related to "values per game/pattern" outside the sourcecode.
- giving more control to end-users across the user-friendly interface.
- deleting/cleaning some dead variables.
- updating all gameconfig.ini data to reflect new PHack concept (pending upload).
* Updated Italian translation
- Includes corrections, a better strings translating and suggestions directly by Google Code's people.
+ Minor old pending changes...

Initialize locale in each of the plugins on windows so that the plugin configuration dialogs are translated and the translators will get off my back.

Placing the render window at position 0,0 makes it unmovable on OS X.
Use the conventional r1234 format for SVN revision numbers.
Delete mis-copied .svn directories from the application bundle.
Only warn about a failed low-memory allocation if one was requested.

Whatever that means, it fixes that stupid Super Mario Sunshine glitch and possibly lots of other stuff, so test as many glitchy games as possible with this ;)

Separated UI from debugger functionality. Generally cleaned up that stuff.
Most functionality needs to be reimplemented now, but will be available to D3D9, D3D11 as well as OpenGL then.

- Speed up MSAA by using custom resolve shaders instead of ID3D11DeviceContext::ResolveSubresource().
- Fix EFB access when MSAA is enabled.
- Implement the "force linear filtering" option.
- Compile shaders using shader model 4.1 or 5.0 if available.
- Some minor cleanups.
Who cares about DX9 and OGL anyway :P

- Add some info about a backend's feature set (MSAA, Real XFB, EFB to RAM, ..) to VideoConfig
- Gray out options if they aren't supported by the backend or if changing them doesn't affect anything (e.g. changing STC mode if STC is disabled)
- Allow signed bytes for D3D11. Not sure if this causes glitches, but it should work
- Call wxEvent.Skip() in the event function handlers, not sure if this fixes any bugs but the old code definitely caused bugs during development of this patch
- Fix a memory leak in the configuration dialog if D3D11 is used
- Other minor stuff that doesn't need to be mentioned or which I forgot

Not sure how to fix Dolphins hotkeys when 3D Vision is enabled (I do know a way, but it's messy and I don't want 3D Vision messing with Dolphin's cleanliness).
