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

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.

Include "Hash.h" rather than "hash.h" for case-sensitive file systems.

2010-08-28T15:53:01+00:00

Fix some compiler warnings.

sometimes to advance you have to make a step back.

use plain vertex arrays instead of VBOs to render in Opengl plugin as the nature of the data make VBOs slower. This must bring, depending on the implementation, a good speedup in opengl.
in my system now opengl and d3d9 have a difference of 1 to 5 fps depending of the game.
some cleanup and a little work pointing to future improvements in the way of rendering.
please test and check for any errors.

add a path to texture decoder to produce only rgba textures, this will make texture loading in dx11 a lot easier and give a little performance boost to.

back to limit vps instead of fps as this fix fps limit and now it works correctly as now the sync between the plug in and the core is almost correct.

2010-04-03T22:22:55+00:00

fixed fps display in the top bar, now it shows the real fps of the game.
some code clean up and some corrections to make everything work right in the reference renderer.
multiples xfb now is broken even in single core as is was not an error caused by dual core, i really dono where the error is,everything looks correct but if you test a game with multiples xfb or the ipl you will see the error.
ector if you can take a look at he code and throw me some ideas i'll thank you.
please test.

First a bugfix:

2010-02-23T21:52:12+00:00

fixed a misbehavior in the clear code that causes depth clear problems in reference hardware (Intel as example).
add 6 parameters to optimize Safe Texture Cache:
SafeTextureCacheColorSamples, SafeTextureCacheIndexedSamples, SafeTextureCacheTlutSamples:

this 3 parameters gives the number of samples taken to calculate the final hash value, less samples = more speed, more samples = more accuracy
if 0 is specified the hash is calculated using all the data in the texture.
SafeTextureCacheColorMaxSize, SafeTextureCacheIndexedMaxSize, SafeTextureCacheTlutMaxSize:
this parameters limits the amount of data used for the hash calculation, it could appear as redundant but in some games is better to make a full hash of the first bytes instead of some samples of all the texture.

color, indexed, tlut : define the texture type, full color data, indexed, and the tlut memory.

the parameters are available in the config , no GUI at this time, if the test are OK will add it to the GUI.
if someone needs it will give more examples on how to configure the values for specific games.

test commit: please test if this improve the performance with the safe texture cache

second try to implement a more correct safe texture cache, implemented full hashing of tlut textures as they are the more problematic, this should solve virtually all the problems with characters in all the games that have them.

2010-02-08T23:23:04+00:00

sorry to tell but this will bring a speed drop, so let you decide if this change stay or not.( used the fastest open source hash algorithm i know) 
do not apply full hashing to other format because it kills the performance.
for popular request added 9x SSAA believe me will kill your graphic card even if is the best but the image quality is exceptional.
as always please test and let me know the results.

sorry forget one file :)

git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5002 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e

a lot of modifications here :)

2010-02-03T03:52:50+00:00

first fixed scaling when updating backbuffer to make it friendly with encoders, now frame dumping must work without errors in any codec.
clean screenshot and frame dumping code now is more correct, faster and stable.
improve safe texture cache, improving the distribution of the hash algorithm, including tlut hash in the final hash of the texture, and making use of a 64 bit hash to make it more accurate.
clean a lot of code and corrected some missused vertex formats when drawing full screen quads.
and biggest change last:
implemented pseudo antialiasing: a image post-process algorithm that mimics antialiazing and is fare more easier to implement in this scenario.
you can change the intensity of the effect changing the values of the antialiasing combo. the right value depends on the game.
for example mkwii looks awesome with 8x.
please try all the changes and let me know the results.
if something is broken, please let me know and will fix it asap.
