It is complicated and it is only useful for debug. No sound, no pad, nothing just GS output, replaying a trace.
Ah. Oh well. Lets hope for some multi-threaded rendering goodness in the future then. Thank you for your work.
so basically saying, there is no difference in both?
we are saying. Normally GSdx must support MT for opengl linux but somethings is wrong in the performance (could be the fps counter that is wrong
). Someone is trying to port the code to std::thread and to test it properly. On my side my todo list is full until the end of years
See that's the problem. If you weren't so dedicated your to-do list wouldn't be full!

so doing this will either fix the fps counter, or increase performance and speed up the emulator a bit, or make games alot more compatible in linux
It just a matter of performance not compatibility. But normally most of game are playable on the SW renderer.

I assume you mean hardware renderer?
But yeah, few games it seems require the software renderer which is the only time extra threads matter. In my case, I love the SnowBlind engine games which not only must be run in SW mode, but also are terribly resource heavy.
[edit] This is even more significant for me since I have six cores on my CPU plus hyper threading. If the SB Engine games almost perform properly with only one rendering thready I imagine that with extra threads the games would run perfectly, save for emulation bugs, which have nothing to do with GSdx as far as I know.
I mean extra thread on SW renderer (for me it is perf only)

sorry to bump, but a question came in mind. so the software renderer in linux is probably preferred more than the hardware renderer?
