What's the difference between setting the plugin in software or hardware mode and pressing F9 while the game is running? Does F9 switch from software to hardware and the other way around?
I noticed that if I, for example, choose software and press F9, I get the same result as choosing hardware and if I choose hardware and press F9, I get the same result as choosing software.
When I press F9, the log window says
Opening GS
Forced software switch enabled.

even when the plugin is set to software mode already.
This message also appears when the plugin is set to hardware mode.
Maybe this is a stupid question but I'd like to understand what's the relation between both plugin modes and whatever the F9 key does because, at the moment to me, the F9 is a magical key that makes the games run faster sometimes.
