You are right, thanks for sorting that out for me.

With gsdx 0.1.0 FFXII looks way better than before - at full speed. Fantastic!

[siN07]

Thx for the plugin, but in DBZ BT3 the lines from the characters are too fat

Is there no way, to improve the speed of the FMVs from FFXII? Is it emu or gfxplugin caused?

[Mr. Duck Sauce]

wow, ffxi is actually more clean and sharper, while also filling in areas where there wasn't textures with actual textures, i hope you improve on more things in the future.

[MSBSpec]

with the new plugin, sometimes the fps gets reported as half that of the actual fps for me

game was FFXII

[MSBSpec]

Problems with Wipeout Fusion, PAL:

FPS displayed incorrectly, the game itself runs at what appears to be full speed, but the FPS shown is a lot lower

Minor graphical glitches as shown in attachments.

Does it fix the HP bar bug in KH 2?

EDIT: nope, still the same bug T_T

Also, which should I select? Direct3D10 hardware of software?

[mbroker]

well some slight speed up using v1.0 in 3D.
But I still use version v11.0 for pure 2D games which you see a big speed up of around 17%. (from 86% to 103%)

Yes I know that the ps2 does not have may 2d games but still.

Still present KH bug in movies. Kingdom Hearts [SLUS 20370] (U).

Got the new combined plugin (GSdx 0.1.0) - awesome job! Thanks a lot for this release!

Re-tested FFX (SLUS-20312) with GSdx 0.1.0 - it's definitely faster than the last official build (v0.11.4), same minor issues are present (stripes on the landscape after entering and exiting the character menu), the game runs fast (mostly 45-60 fps, sometimes goes down to ~38-40fps when many characters are on screen) and stable. Didn't experience any crashes.

(Test system is the same - Intel C2D E4500 @ 2,2Ghz, 2048MB RAM, GeForce 8600GT 512MB; tested on PCSX2 v0.9.4 with all optimizations on, GSDX parameters - NLOOP on, Logarithmic Z on, Alpha Correction on, Texture Filtering on, Direct3D9 renderer, Native D3D res., windowed mode and full-screen 1024x768).

i made some tests with the software mode:

Software:
- much slower than hardware
- it fix a lot of texture issues
- fonts are much sharper and better visable
- some effects and stuff are missing or gets wrong displayed

Apparently since a couple of revisions ago for the DX9 version (probably related to one of the game-specific fixes), GSDRvZPII started to have 2D bitmaps showing as solid black in certain menus such as the after-intro "Press START" menu and the "Loading..." game screens. On these screens are other visible text and small graphics.

All prior version of GSdx for DX9 do not have this problem nor does the new DX10 one. Attached are the screenshots for comparison.

Log Z option on/off?

Not sure if that effect is looking correct, it does many strange drawing to create that outline.

[Shadow Lady]

some new graphic glitches appeared, horizontal lines on the transition display on ffx and ffx-2 (when going to save or menu or just pause)

tried native and unfiltered with same result

btw gsdx is saving snaps as gsdx10 :P

images are 1st ffx on gsdx9 rev 704 (same image as 0.11.4), 2nd ffx on gsdx 0.1, 3rd ffx-2 gsdx9 rev 704 (same image as 0.11.4), 4th ffx-2 gsdx 0.1

In an interesting unrelated side-note, enabling Alpha C will result in the same areas of slow-downs (menu and particle effects) as in the version for DX10.

I am also same in FF X

Great new release, put again to me didnt fix anything, speed seems the same, never get over 20-30fps in any game But it fixes some graphical stuff tho, good job.

With dx10 alpha correction is free, it might be that further drawings are somehow affected by it.

Hmmm, it reads back the frame buffer in 32 pixel high rows and there are darker pixels at the top of each after the copy. I hate dx9's pixel center probs :P

edit: well, I just forgot that I need to shift half pixel to the other direction with a vertex shader, it expects the coordinates to be output upside down...

your problem is prolly the games being slow are CPU limited, no matter how fast the GS plugin may get if PCSX2 is just running slow there's nothing it can do for you :/

poke pcsx2 team for faster emulation maybe

and u were blaming DX9! :P

I still do, with dx10 there is no need to shift anything :P

Btw, I'm still looking for someone who knows opengl. There aren't more than a couple of classes to implement, should be a trivial translation from dx to opengl.
