- changed default values of curvature, vignetting, reflection, round
corner and smooth border to 0

brighter

by the amount of rounded corners
- added raster.ini to parse_standard_inis()
- merged vector and raster bloom options, use vector.ini or raster.ini
to distinguish

quad size

- added distortion pass, which is applied after the bloom pass
- moved vignetting, curvature, round corners and reflection effect to
distortion pass
- disabled distortion pass for multi screens and activated artworks due
to not yet fixed misalignments
- disabled scanlines for vector rendering in post pass shader
- removed prescale knowledge from downsample, bloom and post pass shader
- fixed half pixel offset in most shaders
- fixed position of reflection effect when screen is rotated or flipped
- fixed roundness of round corners in any aspect ratio
- fixed shadow mask bleeding (nearly completly)
- added bounds() and screen_bounds() getter to layout_view
- added current_view() getter to render_target
- some cleanup and refactoring
- removed position offset in post.fx
- fixed texture offset caused by 0th level of bloom.fx
- fixed texture offset caused by focus.fx
- changed Passthrough parameter in phosphor.fx to boolean
- simplified defocus pass function and calling it twice
- removed CU_PHOSPHOR_IGNORE (Passthrough) uniform, which was only used
in phosphor pass function and is now directly set
- added CU_TARGET_DIMS (TargetDims) uniform based on the current render
target
- fixed missing Prescal parameter in downsample pass function
- some code cleanup
- added support for post pass effects for vector rendering (does not
work properly in full screen mode, yet)
- made texture_info::compute_size_subroutine() function public static
- separated downsample pass and bloom pass into two function calls
- removed/replaced simple.fx by using primary.fx to render on screen
- changed PostPass parameter of primary.fx to boolean
- simplified bloom.fx and downsample.fx, Prescale parameter is now set
correctly from outside depending on raster/vector rendering
- fixed roundness of rounded corners; the default aspect ratio of 4:3
should not be stretched anymore when the source has another ratio
- disabled blurring of rounded corners
- some cleanup
- changed shadow mask implementation, shadow count XY now represent the
number of pixel the shadow UV sized tiles will take on the screen
- implemented rotation of the shadow mask texture depending on the
default landscape or portrait view of the screen
- removed prescale and pixel border of the shadow mask texture
- added option to change the shadow UV offset, to reduce the color
bleeding of the shadow mask
- adjusted presets to work with the changed mask implementation
- reduced defocus offset
- improved downsampling for better blurring
- improved alignment of bloom layers (raster and vector)
- applied bloom effect to the render output of screenshot and AVI
recording
- changed curvature effect to fit screen size
- changed scanlines to be not rendered into bloom layers
- changed shadow mask to be not rendered into bloom layers
- changed color floor to not light the bloom layers
- changed shadow mask to not dark the color floor
- added image vignetting simulation and option
- added round screen corner simulation and option
- added screen light reflection simulation and option
- made usage of unused brightness offset (additive)
- removed unused pincushion option
- removed duplicate shadow count Y options
- removed artwork/adapture.png
- added artwork/adapture-grill.png
- added artwork/shadow-mask.png
- added artwork/slot-mask.png
- added hlsl/simple.fx
- removed unused shaders::blit() function
- added shaders::screen_pass() function, which handles the
(raster-)rendering on screen, into screenshot and AVI recording
- added effect:set_bool() function
- HLSL changes: [MooglyGuy]
* Upped vertex buffer size to 64k verts, fixes assert in
starwars and alphaone, please include the printed error
message in any subsequent encounterings of the assert.
* Improved vector rendering (beam width 1.5 suggested)
* Ducked raster bloom default to 0.225 to reduce washout
openly, for there was nothing left to see with" [MooglyGuy]
* Enabled vector bloom and associated .ini controls
* Added raster bloom and associated .ini controls, each bloom "level" is the
linear weight of successively half-sized render targets
* Removed D3D8 mode
* Mass renaming in D3D renderer to use namespaces, initial planning step to
HAL-based renderer implementation on Windows (i.e., GL on Windows)
* Converted d3d_info, d3d_poly_info, and d3d_texture_info into classes
* Added batching of vectors for possible speed increase
* Minor cleanup of shader state setting

- Created two flags, -hlsl_ini_write and -hlsl_ini_read. The former enables
custom HLSL INI writing explicitly, the other enables loading of the same.
- Fixed disappearing aperture effect when using custom INI files.
- Fixed diagonal seam on some games, for serious real this time
- Fixed phosphor simulation, now works as expected
- Fixed set_vector functionality and simplified shaders as a result
- Fixed HLSL presets, 0 to 3, in increasing level of terribleness
- Reduced options footprint from RGB triplets
Next plan: Separate INI writing.
- Reworked default shadow mask settings, eliminating rainbow banding and matching reference shots more closely
- Moved color power to occur after shadow mask, as it is intended to simulate nonlinear phosphor response
- Added a variable-width notch filter to the Y channel in NTSC post-processing, eliminating luma banding on e.g. CoCo 2 and Apple II
Attempting to fix the HLSL 'blurriness' reported by a few people. Now HLSL will auto-prescale to the nearest texture size that is greater than the target screen size on both axes and is also an even multiple of the raw bitmap's size.
- Added the ability to render screenshots at arbitrary resolutions.
- Added the ability to record AVI videos (albeit with no audio) at arbitrary resolutions.
- Added a 43-tap-wide FIR-based NTSC filter with tunable Y, I and Q frequency response.
- Updated scanlines to have a user-tunable pixel-height ratio in addition to the current screen-height ratio.
- Fixed a VRAM leak that was causing many dynamic-resolution drivers to run out of memory mid-run.
