use always ppd is a huge gpu performance drop: 20%-50%
and always disable it cause some rendering issues
so there is an option again
But this time it's called "Fast Depth Calculation"
fix issue 6282
The Last Story seems to render a fan with two vertices. It is non-sense as it
shouldn't do anything, but the code underflows at (u32)numVerts-3
Block braces on new lines.
Also killed off trailing whitespace and dangling elses.
Spaced some things out to make them more readable (only in places where it looked like a bit of a clusterfuck).
See Render.cpp, PixelShaderGen.cpp, and PixelShaderManager.cpp for most of the changes.
See VertexShaderManager.cpp for a logging typo fix.
See SWRenderer.cpp for a small typo fix for a message that gets swprintf'd in DrawDebugText.
See SWVertexLoader.cpp for a typo fix of an assert message.
Should slightly improve the readability of some of those files.
This commit mainly elaborates on some messages a little more. Also fixes some typos that slipped through the last commit.
A large change in text can be seen in EXI_DeviceMemoryCard.cpp. I added more info as to why a write to a memory card may fail. (This actually was a reason I was unable to write to a memcard recently).
Elaborations can be seen in WGL.cpp
I did change some comments in some files that I was correcting logging messages in, however this is only if I spot a typo or if an abbreviation is lower-cased. Even in that case, the amount of changes done to comments is very minimal.
Sorry for a direct commit to the main branch but i need fast feedback, and i don't want to leave problematic code in the main branch for a long time.
if this approach does not work for the drivers with problems will transform dual source blend to an option in the D3D9 backend.
I appreciate the help of the people that tested my last commit and thanks to neobrain for pointing this solution.
Convert all quads+triangles into trangle_strip and uses primitive restart to split them.
Speed up triangle_strip, but slows down all others primitive formats.
Only implemented in ogl.
this implementation does not work in windows xp (sorry no support for dual source blending there).
this should improve speed on older hardware or in newer hardware using super sampling.
disable partial fix for 4x supersampling as I'm interested in knowing the original issue with the implementation to fix it correctly.
remove the deprecation label from the plugin while I'm working on it.
* Fast-EE:
Forced the exception check only for ARAM DMA transfers. Removed the Eternal Darkness boot hack and replaced it with an exception check.
Reverted rd76ca5783743 as it was made obsolete by r1d550f4496e4.
Removed the tracking of the FIFO Writes as it was made obsolete by r1d550f4496e4.
Forced the external exception check to occur sooner by changing the downcount.
