Comments:
Gameplay Screen is a bit darker.  Increasing the brightness from “shader config” makes the graphic look better when playing in Hardware mode.
 
Justification info. for clarification.
Game run great.
> Shut-down unnecessary start-up appz/task manager [Help CPU speed performance from interruption].
> PCSX2Bonus V2.0.0.2 is recommend for saving the config per game.
 
Bugs:
# Broken Thermal Vision @ Hardware Mode.                     Fixed by; Software Mode (F9) + Rendering Threads= 4

Could you test the openGL renderer please?
Try to play with accurate blending, it might help to improve the brigthness. And check the correctness of the rendering in the top-left corner (openGL is able to render some additional effect but it failled to do it fullscreen).

Ive seen this come up before, this is one of those "only the top left corner is correct" games.

Ok. I really need to fix it one day.

one day Tongue There seems to be a few games that use that method Tongue

(I know i should probably talk about this in a separate thread to keep this clean but..)

can we not cheat and take that top corner that renders right and stretch the effect across the screen? lol I guess it still tries to do it 100 times or whatever.

Does the top-left corner bug affect all the OpenGL options? I've encountered a top-left only effect with the Hardware Depth fix for FlatOut(series).

it happens in many games, I believe due to memory limitations. It happens in splinter cell, flatout and metal gear solid 3 that I know of, possibly Killzone as well. It's not a bug per-sé but a limitation of the texture cache. Gregory wants to implement it a "PC way" rather than a "PS2 way" which will be much much quicker.

But you don't know for sure that game will apply the effect on the full screen.

But there are a couple of thing we can do.
First we could emulate the texture shuffle directly instead to use texture conversion. A bit like the others texture shuffle effect.
And then we could also add a rendered surface to the buffer. This way we have the start address AND the end address so we cann see the new rt as an offset of an old rt. The bonus is that a texture (fmv) upload in the middle of the rt could also be detected.

Hum I don't remember how I wanted to tackle the issue exactly. But honestly it isn't too difficult to fix normally (just got lazy and busy with others things) at least for some games. Kungfu panda uses a similar trick but with a block offset to emulate the shuffle so it doesn't work (ie left corner) with current code.

In my opinion, we ought to avoid the texture conversion. It is slow. Gs format hurts your head badly. And texture cache explodes Tongue2
