* fixed target texture dimension when -intoverscan is used (this fixes the appereance of scanline and shadow mask)
* added target_scale and screen_count uniforms
* rounded corners now remain aligned with screen bounds when -intoverscan is used (single screen only)
- implemented proper texture coordinates for vector quad primitive
- vector screen is now processed in texture coordinates
- revered workaround for raster screen, which is again processed in
texture coordinates
- known issue: cocktail mode for vector screen looks wrong
- split into primary.fx into 3 techniques for vector buffer, screen and
UI pass
- moved register_texture() for shaders outside of texture_info creation
- added render_primitive parameter to register_texture(); currently
unused
- removed other unused register_texture() definition
- HLSL now uses NPOT sized target surfaces (breaks compatibility with
graphics cards based on R300/R400/NV30 and older)
- HLSL target surfaces now have the size of the screen canvas
- removed HLSL pre-scale factor
- HLSL now uses a sharp bilinear interpolation to pre-scale textures to
screen canvas size, based on [Themaister's] implementation
- improved overall performance (based on the previously required
pre-scale factor, you might notice a 5-50% speed-up depending on your
graphics card, more if you used a higher pre-scale factor)
- improved shadow mask quality (pixel-perfect) in screen-mode
- fixed half source texel offset of bloom level alignment
- removed ./hlsl/artwork_support folder
- all shaders after pre-scale are now based on screen coordinate
(workaground, till both raster and vector pass can work on texture
coordinates)
- disabled distortion shader for more than one screen and for artworks
in full mode, does not affect artworks in copped mode (workaground, till
both raster and vector pass can work on texture coordinates)
- moved compute_texture_size() from texture_info to texture_manager (nw)
- fixed target dimensions of bloom levels, which results in a much
better alignment especially for game with very low resolution (therefore
current bloom settings might look a little less intense than before)
- small cleanups (nw)
- replaced shader parameters OrientationSwapXY xor RotationSwapXY by
SwapXY
- made shader parameters SourceDims, SourceRect, TargetDims, ScreenDims,
QuadDims and SwapXY available for all shaders
- color convolution, defocus and phosphor pass will now be skipped if
all influencing parameters are 0
- removed unused bloom_texture and bloom_target arrays from cache_target
class
- fixed half texel offset in prescale.fx
- HLSL changes: [MooglyGuy]
* Upped vertex buffer size to 64k verts, fixes assert in
starwars and alphaone, please include the printed error
message in any subsequent encounterings of the assert.
* Improved vector rendering (beam width 1.5 suggested)
* Ducked raster bloom default to 0.225 to reduce washout
openly, for there was nothing left to see with" [MooglyGuy]
* Enabled vector bloom and associated .ini controls
* Added raster bloom and associated .ini controls, each bloom "level" is the
linear weight of successively half-sized render targets
* Removed D3D8 mode
* Mass renaming in D3D renderer to use namespaces, initial planning step to
HAL-based renderer implementation on Windows (i.e., GL on Windows)
* Converted d3d_info, d3d_poly_info, and d3d_texture_info into classes
* Added batching of vectors for possible speed increase
* Minor cleanup of shader state setting

- Created two flags, -hlsl_ini_write and -hlsl_ini_read. The former enables
custom HLSL INI writing explicitly, the other enables loading of the same.
- Fixed disappearing aperture effect when using custom INI files.
- Fixed diagonal seam on some games, for serious real this time
- Fixed phosphor simulation, now works as expected
Attempting to fix the HLSL 'blurriness' reported by a few people. Now HLSL will auto-prescale to the nearest texture size that is greater than the target screen size on both axes and is also an even multiple of the raw bitmap's size.
- Added the ability to render screenshots at arbitrary resolutions.
- Added the ability to record AVI videos (albeit with no audio) at arbitrary resolutions.
- Added a 43-tap-wide FIR-based NTSC filter with tunable Y, I and Q frequency response.
- Updated scanlines to have a user-tunable pixel-height ratio in addition to the current screen-height ratio.
- Fixed a VRAM leak that was causing many dynamic-resolution drivers to run out of memory mid-run.
