Hi everyone,

TL;DR: test these builds: x86 (32 bit) - x64 (64 bit)

The zcomploc-support branch is meant to fix depth buffer issues in some games by emulating a GC/Wii GPU feature that was not supported before. It is known to fix at least these bugs:
  • 007: Everything or Nothing: Sky box in front of the map/models (needs Per Pixel Depth disabled)
  • Baten Kaitos: characters being displayed in front of background objects
  • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3: skater not being displayed on the screen
  • Ty the Tasmanian Tiger: floating floor
It was merged into master a few months ago, but was buggy and was unmerged a few days later (/me sucks at releasing stuff). It was known to create bugs in these games:
  • Super Mario Galaxy: star sprites
  • F-Zero GX: ship shadows
  • New Super Mario Bros Wii: [?] Boxes
  • Metroid Prime: scanner
  • Zelda: TP: minimap border
Today, skid_au finally found a way to fix all of the issues with a very simple modification to the zcomploc-support implementation. All the bugs that were fixed by zcomploc-support are still fixed and all the bugs that were caused by zcomploc-support do not happen anymore as far as we tested.

We'd like your help to test games and see if new issues are caused by this build. We'd also be interested by bugs that are fixed in this branch that we did not know about.

Links to the builds: x86 (32 bit) - x64 (64 bit)

Thanks in advance, and I hope this time we'll be able to merge that into master without causing regressions!

<@neobrain> that looks sophisticated enough to not be a totally dumb thing to do
