dolphin/Source/Core/VideoCommon/Src/TextureCacheBase.h, branch 3.0

Add EFB encode-to-RAM support in DX11 backend. It could probably be simplified a lot, and not all the possible formats are implemented. I tried to use the dynamic-linking feature of shader model 5, but Microsoft's HLSL compiler is broken. "Dynamic mode" is implemented, but disabled for now.

added the possibility to allocate aligned memory, an use it to allocate the buffer utilized in texture decoding, this will make a little easy to use aligned writes when possible in sse2/3 optimized algorithms.

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.

Defer texture invalidation to the video thread from the video configuration dialog. Should fix issue 4069

Whoops, forgot to remove that.

Changes to hi-res textures. Textures now load correctly when loading/saving a savestate, and can be toggled on and off in game.

2011-02-05T10:08:06+00:00

Changed non-hi-res textures to use MurmurHash3, which has better performance that the previous hash.

DX11 code maintenance, part 7:

2011-01-25T16:43:08+00:00

Header cleanups. If anything, this will decrease compile time.. :P

DX11: Fix mipmaps. Someone forgot creating them at the proper time ;P

2010-11-24T19:13:19+00:00

DX11: Fix a DX11 debug runtime error caused by the vertex shader output signature and the pixel shader input signature not matching if per-pixel lighting is disabled. Someone forgot disabling those pixel shader parameters ;P
DX11: Enable use of dynamic textures wherever possible.
DX9: Remove two unnecessary TODOs. Someone forgot removing those since they've been obsolete for a long time ;P

Anyway, at least working mipmaps and dynamic textures should increase DX11 performance a bit. And "a bit" is more than my usual "marginally" ;)

Polish, fix and otherwise improve the video plugin configuration dialog:

2010-11-21T14:47:28+00:00

- 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

Optimised EFB copy to RAM.

2010-11-06T04:46:44+00:00

The finding was that 99% of the time, textures are static in memory. However, Dolphin would pessimistically continue to decode and copy the same texture every time.  The optimisation is to check if the texture matches what is in the cache, and if it does, Dolphin should early exit.

The result is the speed in New Super Mario Bros Wii increased 35% with spinning coins.  Still not as fast as EFB copy to texture though.

Fix a major speed regression from r6288:

2010-10-24T15:16:31+00:00

Upon texture reloading, the cache entry hash wasn't updated and thus we effectively disabled any texture caching in that case.
