This fix is not related with the previous commits, but the previous commits help me to see that because in the new scenery SMB was hanging. May be in the past also doesn't boot some times because of that.
Please Test FZero boot also. Thanks.
The external exceptions in dolphin are checking frequently but is different to real HW, so sometime the game is in a loop checking GPU STATUS, the exceptions doesn't checked, and the game hang.\
For solve this I need a trick: still waiting for the exception handler be linked but if CommandProcecsor is reading the GPStatus, resume this.
This fixed "TimeSplitters: Future Perfect" broken in the Revision c2e6fdf09f and surely others games.
That happens because FIFO_RW_DISTANCE_HI must be written first, for checking fifo.CPReadWriteDistance == 0, so some fifo resets was not managed in the right way.
I didn't test Metroid 2 desync reported in Issue 4336 but I think is the same.
About the flickering in MP2, I don't know for my is not related or yes, but you can test anyway.
Fixed Issue 3902
Well now the FIFO is 99.99% finished :)
- I've fixed hangs in DC mode in (Simpsons, Monkey Island, Pokemon XD, etc)
- I've implemented accurate manage of Pixel Engine Interrupts, now the GPU loop is stopped when a PE Interrupt needs to be managed and resume when Pixel Engine finish,
I think now, the Fifo in DC mode is more accurate than SC mode. :)
Time to close the big fifo Issue 3694 (snif), please if you have a possible fifo issue report this like a game issue.
I was working with Skid_AU together, especially thanks for him.
Test a lot all games, and compare the performance with the master maybe this accuracy has a cost (not a lot).
I think now the fifo is very stable, overflow fixed, random hang fixed, if you have a game with a hang with this rev and not in master please report this.
For example you can test Tutorial moves at the beginning of The last history now is fluid 30/60.
Shuffle2: I've delete the hacky line, I think is not necessary anymore. Additional some clean in CommandProcessor.
Please test The Last Story and others games affected in the previous commits and give me a feedback.
- Fixes all (I hope) BBox-related unknown pointer crashes.
- Fixes wrong BBox values with Frame Skip on (and the resulting unknown pointer crashes).
- Fixes a small oversight on the change I made to the ISO Properties dialog.
This should also be a (very very little) bit faster than the previous version.
Should fix most graphical issues with Paper Mario: TTYD and Super Paper Mario. Fixes issue 360.
Since only those two games seem to require BBox support, and as per ector's suggestion, BBox is only enabled for those two games.
BBoxes and Display List Caches don't get along too well, causing Paper Mario: TTYD to hang during certain effects where BBoxes are used. For now, I disabled DList Cache for the Paper Mario games, hopefully both will be compatible in the future.
zcomploc is a feature of the BP which switch depth test from before the alpha
test to after the alpha test. This way, transparent fragments are written to
the depth buffer too.
The current implementation is quite hacky and does not cover all cases but is
enough to fix problems in a lot of game. A complete implementation would
require a multipass rendering method and is attempted in the
zcomploc-experimental branch.
According to testers feedback, fixes bugs in the following games:
- Baten Kaitos
- Baten Kaitos Origins
- 007: Everything or Nothing
- Ty the Tasmanian Tiger
- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
And probably other games too.
Conflicts (because of new-shadercache-uids):
Source/Core/VideoCommon/Src/PixelShaderGen.cpp
In previous revisions of Dolphin, changing texture generation settings (via
GX_SetTexCoordGen for example) did not regenerate the vertex shader and flush
the vertices. Adding this flush should fix texture problems in a few game, for
example in Superman: Shadow of Apokolips:

- don't load shader cache from disk in d3d9/11 if shader debugging is enabled (we won't have any info about the source shader code otherwise, etc)
- dump shader source codes on safe UIDs mismatch
Thanks to LordMark and [SS] for reporting those to me ;)
some little corrections in dlist cache code, i thing they will not have effect in the remaining issues but now the code behaves more correctly in some situations.
i discover the solution for the remaining issues bur requires some changes in the vertex translator so will work on them after the upcoming Release.

- Fast Mipmaps enabled
- Safe Texture Cache enabled at "fast"
- showing shader errors by default
- using Native as internal resolution
- using EFB to Texture by default
- ignoring EFB format changes by default (turns out r7436 made this in Super Mario Sunshine unnecessary anyway :P)
Any game which depends on other settings has that specified in the game ini, so I think this should be fine.

Show FPS, Input Display, Statistics, Projection Statistics, EFB Copy Regions, Dump Textures, Dump EFB target, Dump Frames, Free Look, Use FFV1, Show Shader Errors, Texture Format Overlay, WireFrame, Hotkeys and Adapter
- Also removed various game ini config values which were still parsed from the Video section.

Note: Newest nVidia drivers break Dolphins 3D (270.xx), not sure why yet, gonna ask around. It really confused me though when trying to fix this issue, spent at least an hour trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I eventually realised a build I knew worked in 3D was having issues...
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@7487 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
- Added final support to string type (planned implementation reaches 100%)
- Added support to post processing shaders (OpenGL backend)
- Code Maintenance:
- Reorganized the class hierarchy
- General polishing... deleted some redundant code

Also, if the render window size changes while frame dumping, scale the resulting video to prevent clipping on linux. This is a complete fix for issue 4316 on linux. I don't know how to implement this on windows though.

Hotkeys now work when running 3D Vision. You've just got to select the render window first (as in click on the fullscreen image), don't ask me why, it's something to do with RendererHasFocus in Frame.cpp. Annoyingly, escape crashes the emulator and the screenshot button doesn't do anything, though I guess any other hotkey should be working. I wouldn't usually commit this but I remember someone really wanting to be able to connect their Wiimote while in 3D, so I figured I might aswell.

- Removed recent ghanges about separate per-game Video Settings
- Added "One Window 3-State Support" (very close to full implementation)

It now works in the debug builds, but not in release builds for some reason. I'm not used to big projects like this so it's probably something obvious that I'm missing. Exclusive full screen mode seems to need the fullscreen resolution for the backbuffer when the DX device is created, so I used adapters[adapter].resolutions[f].xres and yres to get that, but in release builds, that gives me the windowed resolution (in debug it give me the fullscreen res, like I believe it's supposed to), which it reallly doesn't like.
It's not a difficult fix probably, but I've been staring at my monitor in confusion for too long now and need to get to bed. If anyone wants to test, you can still enable the 3D Vision option, it just wouldn't be 3D (obviously).

With wxWidgets 2.9.2 now in Externals, SCons was the only
external dependency other than Xcode and building just SCons
from Macports caused a fair mount of extra stuff to be built
unnecessarily, so just include a copy of scons-local.
Always build wxWidgets from Externals which allows us to get
rid of the home-grown autoconf machinery in SconsTests.
The main use case for args.cache was the wxconfig option,
which is no longer relevant after the above changes and
caching options has a lot of potential for confusion,
especially since other build systems don't tend to do this,
so we no longer do it now.

* Moved the config validity check to reflect the emulator enforced settings at the config dialog
* Removed some obsolete validity checks
* Corrected "EnablePixelLighting" typo in the ini files
Fixes issue 4277.

Second:
A experiment. implemented parallelization in texture decoding using openmp. is most a experiment to test the performance in different os/plataforms. in my system (windows x64 amd 1055t) give a speedup in large textures, but i tested in in intel dual core and gives a slowdown. o i limited the use for large textures and cpus with more than 3 cores.
please test an let me know if it improves or degrades the speed.
please for linux and osx user. to enable this you will have to enable your compiler support for openmp to test this code.

in windows sleep(0) behaves more like what is defined in the yield instruction so use it instead. In my amd 6 core system brings a nice 8% speedup so please test I'm interested in knowing the behavior in different systems.
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@7261 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
some code additions for future use ;).
please gcc user test this as i don't have opportunity to test it myself i only use reference code to.
