Considering that technically more things are hacks than just the things included currently on the Hack tab.
- I suggest renaming the "Hacks" tab into "Caches" or "Buffers" or some even more appropriate name for EFB/XFB/Tex Cache (but with new unified system under ubershader settings aren't some of these options obsolete?)
Absolutely not. The hacks tab is very aptly named.
Quote:Custom Textures would be removed from the Utility groupbox in the Advanced tab and moved to either a new groupbox under Advanced tab or under a new tab. Custom Textures could be more on it's own rather than just a needle in a haystack
I get where you're coming from here, and I agree that finding how to enable custom textures could be better. I'm not sure if sticking it in it's own group box with two elements is the correct answer. But at the same time we have "misc".... I think an isolated groupbox would be better than the current. But I don't think it's ideal.
Quote: it could possibly have a slider two (or the one with 2 pins if possible in qt?) which would control the maximum and minimum prefetch allowance in % of maximum RAM and or VRAM on the system, with some kind of a minimum limit like it would allow the slider to go below 10% and above 95%,I don't believe this is possible to implement in a platform agnostic way.
Quote:and additional checkbox option would be added whether to use RAM or VRAM or even BOTH for prefetching
Pretty sure that's not possible or at least so unwieldy to do that it wouldn't be worth it. On top of that just being confusing to explain in a small description box that the user will never read.
Quote:The options under "Other" groupbox in the old Hacks tab should be moved to the "Advanced" tab under "Misc" groupbox and that groupbox naming should be decided, whther to keep Misc or change to Other or spell out Miscellaneous in full.
Again, no. They are hacks. I think they belong there.
Quote:And not even finished it, but the things I said today should override the old ones, I still feel not keeping the Hacks tab named "Hacks"
No. They're hacks and users should not touch them unless they know what they're doing. I want that to sound intentionally scary.
Quote:If it should be kept then I think first some kind of a standard should be figured out which would determine whether something is a hack and each option should go thorugh some discussion with everyone else which things are considered Hacks that would go there.
Plenty of bikeshedding goes into that whenever we include something new there.
