Pcsx2: [Request] adding this function.

[mondaychicken]

Hello.

Lately, I got a china user's mod plugin(GSdx).

This plugin has unique some feature.

The option name is 'HDMode' which makes clearer resolution quality definitely.

I checked as playing tales of symphoina.

It remove Tales of symphonia's blur - maybe bad postprocess .
But game's fps also is knocked out (60fps => 5fps).

It is worth implementing to make clearer resolution.

Thanks.

P.S
The option name has changed.
FBP => HDfix => HDMode

This is a massive hack honestly. Maybe it can be ported partially without those crc hack inclusions and instead of a drop down menu HDMode would work with a spin button from 1 to 56. The tooltip would show which game what needs instead of the crc stuff.

Isn't this something similar to

or

Perhaps maybe since both get rid of the blur. Anyway the source code on github is outdated so I don't know the current state. On the surface it might look good but it's a massive hack that relies on crc lookup ..etc and we don't need to clutter the gsdx code with that. I also noticed some custom skipdraw hacks as well.

The no interlacing codes are a much better and simpler solution. Anyway closing this.

That's a bit hypocritical to say. GSdx already relies on a massive database of CRCs and derived custom behavior, and IIRC this repo merely extends it to more CRCs and more custom behaviors.

Assuming this specific feature is useful, and assuming it can be reasonably isolated or generalized, and assuming someone wants to and can actually port it, I don't think it'd be a bad thing to have.

But the reason you gave against it is both quite meh and also not necessarily relevant (though I could be wrong on the latter).

If that's the case then I don't mind. Currently the code relies on FBP, TBP and other lookups.

Someone patched this game to essentially do the same thing and I think that's a much better solution than this absolutely disgusting mess of code by cutie

Closing.
