GSdx 1.0

[gregory]

GSdx 1.0 test campaign is on HOLD until I fix the regression in master branch.

Note: OpenGL (Hardware) will be the main focus of this test, DirectX is missing a lot of the new features!

Please check only games that are working in GSdx SW mode with mipmapping disabled

Required Video Card Drivers:
Nvidia: 340.65 or higher (preferably higher)
AMD: latest beta support enough of GL4.5 normally. (15.5 Beta for AMD)
Intel on windows is not supported.

---

I made a huge change to GSdx to support various effects. It seems various games are now playable without using any CRC hacks. The purpose of this thread is to coordinate a test campaign.

The goal is to make a list of games that are fixed and which options are still required.

---

GSDX OpenGL only GUI options:

Accurate Blend
- Ticked: normal accurate blending
- Filled: extra accuracy in blending (warning big perf impact)

Accurate Colour Clipping
- Ticked: Used for Depth of Field effects (God of War) and some shadows (Castlevania)

Accurate Date
- Ticked: Enable Destination Alpha Testing, Things like missing shadows etc.

OGL HW Depth (please test this one on various game)
- Ticked: Enable depth support in OpenGL hardware mode, for further depth effects.

HW Hacks:
- CRC level: Set it to None.

Linux misses 1 option but you can still edit the gsdx.ini manually:

Enable ultra accurate option (very big impact on perf)

Code:

accurate_blend = 2

---

Testing strategy:

Part 1: Tests in native resolution. It is the most important result. Note you can compare the rendering with the SW renderer

1/ Set CRC to none

2/ If not perfect, try to play with the accurate option/depth option. All on is a good start.

3/ If still not perfect, increase CRC to minimum

4/ If not perfect, try to play with the accurate option/depth option.

5/ If not perfect, increase CRC to Full and check the behavior is as bad as before.

Part2: Tests in upscaled resolution. Most games have upscaling issue, don't report them except if is new issue.

How to report information:

Please be very concise. Collecting data is really time consuming. Report your GPU too (it could be an AMD/NVIDIA/Intel specific bug)

Highlight regression in Red. A regression is something that work on the master but not anymore on GSdx 2.0.

Highlight effect fixed in Green.

Here an example of a concise report

Game: Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Issue: DX without CRC hack used to be filled with vertical blue lines and garbage but now looks just like OpenGL
Effect: Glow around characters and lighting
CRC hack: Hack skips the effect

Status:
OpenGL HW and DX11 both have the issue fixed with CRC hacks off, no special OpenGL option needed.
There is still a bad layer displayed as white (see screenshot, I think it's a misplaced glow on the opponent's hair) but other than that, it looks just like software.
Also glow is misaligned on scaling, I guess it's the known issue.

If you find a bug:

The best thing to do if you do find a bug, first try it in software mode (press F9 once). If the bug goes away, please report it in a post in this thread. What would also be beneficial, if you could make a GS Dump at the point the issue shows, so it can be checked to see if it is fixable.

How to make a GS Dump:
Please read this nice thread => http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-How-to-cr...er-GS-dump
-Rename the files to something meaningful, for example "GoW-Greenscreen-gsdump"
-Post it in a free file hosting site and post the link here (avoid mega)
-Feel good about the fact you did your bit to help

To be investigated:
* Crash on option switching (from bosit)
* Crash on amd driver?

[refraction]

It would be nice to get the depth support at least on to DX, maybe even do the impossible blends. But i can't see the other stuff being added unless it's simple to do.

[K.F]

Ok.. let me see.

Speed comparison is between the new f5e8503fa5f50e158a2811f36e599fe28c83461a, with the attached build in the first post in Opengl HW, compared to v1.2.1-884-g2da3e15 build with default settings using DX, since old opengl versions did not work with disabled frame limit properly, they just stay at 60.

Everything else is done in Opengl HW.

Specs:

i7-950
GTX 580






Wild Arms 4:


The Title screen and many areas in the game are glitchy with no CRC hacks and no new options enabled, it is too bright. It looks like it is repeated, scaled and overlayed on top of itself multiple times. Using "HW OGL Depth" fixes it. In game looks perfect in native, but when it is scaled, it has minor to really bad glitches in almost all of the text.

Example for the main glitch:



How it looks like with HW OGL Depth:



Text bug:



Speed:

New: ~97
Old: ~96


Fix impact and Regression impact:

The "HW OGL Depth" option fixes the game with no need for CRC hacks. Other than that, not much changed for this game. No glitch fixed and no glitch added.

Weird thing is that there is a room on this game that looks broken in software -all versions-, but looks fine in hardware:



First time to see that happen
Edit: actually this happens in several places, not just that room.

Dump of the main glitch:

[Ōkami Amaterasu]

The colors are messed up and it runs at half speed, but it's better than before which was ui over a black screen

[Ōkami Amaterasu]

I already have all of the accurate options enabled. I cycled through them, and the only one that makes a difference is HW Depth, which makes everything blue.

[Ōkami Amaterasu]

This is with texture filtering disabled, accurate options and depth enabled. I already had aniso filtering disabled before.

[Bositman]

Game: Punisher
Issue: Vertical blue stripes on slaughter mode, black/gray screen on interrogation execution
CRC hack: Doesn't have one.
Status: Fixed in both OpenGL HW and DirectX11 HW renderers
Note: Game has more issues like bad shadows and see through lightning but probably outside of scope

[dogen]

Ok, HW OGL Depth fixes the crazy screen covering bloom in Black.




And super accurate blend mostly fixes the contrast issue, but drops my frame rate to around 25.

Without super accurate blend


With super accurate blend


This is software mode.


The other options don't do anything.

edit - Wow, I didn't even read the directions you put up. Should I make a dump for this game?
