after some test the more relevant parameters were the color samples and the tlut max size.
so delete the rest of the parameters and define 3 modes:
Safe : the two values are set to 0 meaning all the texture data and all the tlut data are hashed this is the most correct and slowwwwwwwwwww way
Normal: 37 samples are taken from the color textures an the firs 4096 bytes of the tlut are hashed, is a lot faster than safe mode but in some games i observe small glitches.
Fast: 8 samples are taken from the color textures an the first 1024 bytes are hashed from the tlut, is a little slower than the unsafe cache but at least all the games i tested have correct text output and fast frame rate. the glitches in dinamyc color textures are more noticeable in this mode
this values could be improved, if you find a better combination please post it and the game it fixes and i will update the source.
for the moment, as my time is limited by a lot of work, only implemented the d3d gui, if someone can implement the opengl gui will be a lot of help for me.
please test a lot and let me know the results.

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.

Removed X event loops from GCPad and Wiimote plugins, and implemented an asynchronous check for keyboard and mouse buttons.
Also added an X event loop in core that handles events while the emulator is paused. Prevents unexpected behavior from events that occur while the emulator is paused.
Now there is only one event loop running at a time (besides those hidden in SDL).
I will revert this commit if other devs are unhappy with it.

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)

D3D
renamed the SSAA modes to use samples as MSAA now they are 2,25x and 4x.
OpenGL:
fixed a nasty logical bug introduced in 4984 that causes efb corruption when efb to texture is used
re enabled shader caching as it was not producing errors.
fixed efb misalignment caused by integer rounding still a bit misaligned but many games will look better now

true antialiasing using supersampling:
3 modes implemented:
2x = is a one and a half samples supersampled buffer with a linear texture fetch, this produce a similar result of a 2x MSAA
4x = four samples with a aligned texture fetch in the center of the 4 samples, this produce a little best effect that the first mode.
8x = is a four samples with a rotated grid fetching producing a nicer (really nicer in some cases) antialiasing.
please test an let me know if you like this :)
i remember to everyone that supersampling is expensive so don't complain in speed drops :)

chage the global format of the screenshots to bmp, is correctly supported by both plugins and is faster.
reverted the changes in safe texture cache, will try to make them more stable then commit them, this should fix compilation in linux and macand error introduced in MP games

please report any remaining issue to solve them.

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.

In linux if the dialog is opened and then the program is closed without running a game the program hangs and has to be killed because the dialog was never destroyed.
In both windows and linux if the dialog is opened and then a game is run, the program hangs or segfaults (for the respective os's) when the game is stopped.
This will also need to be done with the pad plugin as the same issue is there.

in opengl correct an error introduced by mi in efb to ram alignment, it's seems to fix SMS but it missalign a lot of other games, so revert to the default. must solve truncated coins in NSMB.
revert alpha testing values to the values in rev 4812 as they fix some games.
in d3d dynamized the Render target size so it will change at runtime when viewport exceed it size, in the worse case it will cause a missing frame when resizing but in the games I tested is not noticeable at all
This must solve all the remaining viewports problems in nvidia cards, in ati this is not needed.

in videocommon little fix for the alpha test values, return to the original values as they are more accurate.
in D3D:
huge change in state management, now all the state management is centralized and redundant state changes are eliminated.
Fixed the overlapped viewport error in non ati cards:
the error was caused by this: when a viewport is defined larger than the current rendertarget, an error is thrown and the last valid viewport is used, this is the reference behavior, in ati cards if a larger viewport is defined, no eror is returned, the rendering is valid and is rendered using the projection defined by the viewport but limited to the rendertarget are, exactly like opengl or the GC hardware.
to solve this in reference drivers defined a large rendertarget (2x the size of the original) and proceed to render in a centered quad insithe the larger rendertarget, in this way larger viewports always falls inside a valid rendertarget size, the drawback of this is the waste of resources. it can be dynamized, depending or games or changed at runtime when a oversized viewport is detected, but i live that to future commits.
please test this and let me know the results.

Now the frame limiter yields on CPU thread, not as before on GPU thread mistakenly
2. Fixed clear of VI interrupts
I guess VI interrupts are not used at all, because they were never cleared before

All you gotta do is Pause the emulation! That's useful for when your batteries run out during gameplay, for example...
But if you change the WiiMote source (between Emulated, Real or Inactive) you must disconnect and reconnect (Menu Tools -> Connect WiiMote) the WiiMotes affected by the change...
Thanks to jack.fr0st who did all the emulation state notification work!
Now every plugin has a way to know the current emulation state (paused, stopped or playing)
@ayuanx: I thought about doing a PostMessage(g_WiimoteInitialize.hWnd, WM_USER, WIIMOTE_DISCONNECT, current_number); so that the user gets asked to reconnect that WiiMote, trying to avoid having to disconnect and reconnect, but it didn't work because shooting that message only asks to reconnect, doesn't do a disconnect... Do you have any ideas on how to accomplish that?
Also, if anyone could check if Issue 1916 is finally fixed... Or at least when is the cursor being hidden or not...

For example: We have 1 Real WiiMote connected, and the user selects the 4th WiiMote as Real WiiMote...
Also Let's you choose between Inactive and Emulated when the game is running... But you must disconnect and connect the wiimote for the emulated to start working (Via Menu -> Tools -> Connect)

Only downside: You can't change between Real and Emulated WiiMotes while the game is running anymore... This is due to the way the Real WiiMotes are assigned to the slots...
I've tested it with 2 real WiiMotes, but I can't see why it wouldn't work with 4!
Also, you can assign Real or Emulated WiiMotes to any one of the four slots that it will be respected!
