This should be mandatory but (most probably) timing issues make this break more games than it fixes.
Notable exception: Mana Khemia 1 (going "off campus"), so I added it to the auto gamefix database (Only NTSC so far, anyone got the PAL CRCs?).

* Finished up zipfile-style savestate implementation
* Simplified BaseSaveState class, and removed lots of now-unneeded code.
* Prepared the i18n stuff for a pcsx2_Dev.pot file (WIP), and sorted more stuff to pcsx2_Tertiary.pot.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxSavestates@4091 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added some bounds checking to debug builds for VTLB mappings.
* Fixed a VU mapping bug that caused boot crashing
* Fixed some startup, shutdown, and reset resource management.

* SuperVU note: SuperVU recompiler now uses two separate 8mb caches for VU0 and VU1 (needed in order to simplify/saneify the reserve/alloc stages of pcsx2 app startup).
* Added MemsetFast.inl, which houses SSE intrinsic versions of memset and memzero, for use on aligned data targets.

Cause: there were accidentally 2 instances of 'Recompiler' in the Pcsx2 emulator settings structure.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3843 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Some minor exception/error handling fixes and improvements.
DevNote: the BOOT2 elf loader fix is still a hackfix. I documented the proper fix for mimicking PS2 BOOT2 parsing, but not in a mood to do the full proper implementation right now.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3442 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added more thread checks when closing the program, to avoid occasional crashes or hangs.
* Close the GS window on shutdown or critical errors.
* Fixed part of Issue 679 (excessive CDVDiso popup errors)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3357 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Made all database key comparisons case-insensitive, so that "patches" and "Patches" both work as expected, etc.
* Applied patches should be remembered properly now when using suspend/resume and savestates (hopefully -- didn't test savestates yet).
DevNotes:
* Reorganized all game database code into a generic interface used by the emulation core (IGameDatabase), and app-side implementation (AppGameDatabase) that loads the files and provides info in a thread-safe manner.

Enable Cheats means enabling support from the files in "cheats\*.pnach"
Enable Patches means enabling support for the gamefixes/patches inside the game database...

* Console Log doesn't force itself into the focus anymore when it opens
* Suspend/Resume menu item updates more reliably.
* Changing plugin settings while suspended works nicer; less likely to crash/hang/etc (ironically, changing plugin settings while running was more reliable).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2976 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added versioning info to savestates! (along with some other bugfixes)
* Simplified the Boot and System menus -- removed the old Skip BIOS hack and replaced it with the new BOOT2 injection method (which is considered hack-free at this time).
* Removed lots of UI deadlock gotchas.
* Some new confirmation dialogs and better error handling.
* Implemented an exclusive SysExecutor thread, which serves the purpose of executing system/VM commands and events in uninterrupted order (including suspend, resume, savestates, etc.)
* ... and probably broke linux!

Changes to patch system required by this and fix for boot time (first field = 0) patches when booting through BIOS.
Store Sony part number for the game disc globally for future use in selecting game fixes, patches, providing information to the user, etc.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2874 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Implemented TlsVariable, a nifty alternative to __threadlocal, suitable for archaic operating systems that don't have native TLS support (namely Mac OS/X).
* Added a forced reference to TLS in AppInit so that TLS is sure to be available to DLLs (otherwise windows doesn't init TLS by default).
* Disabled TLS support in the x86emitter by default, since it's looking increasingly like we won't find a use for multithreading PS2 sub-components (can be re-enabled later if spontaneous brilliance at a later date proves me wrong).

Rationale: I realized finally the point and purpose of PADupdate was to give the PAD plugin a callback that's on the same thread as the GS window, and which is (mostly) updated in regular sync to the refresh rate (50/60hz). So that's what it does now, finally.

* Configuration panels are all modal-less now, so that you can open the config panel and leave it open while running games.
* Handful of thread sync improvements.
* Fixed on-the-fly interpreter/recompiler configuration.
* Fixed plugin hotswapping (mostly works, but still a little funny at times)
* All new assertion dialogs and popup message handlers.
* RecentIsoList defaults to 12 instead of 6
Dev Notes:
* I had to create a new set of assertion functions called pxAssume*. Originally I hoped to avoid that complexity, and just use a single one-assert-fits-all case, but turned out blanketly using __assume() for all assertion cases wasn't reliable.
* wxGuiTools: Replaced the operator, with operator& -- the latter has proper order of precedence, the former required () to scope correctly. >_<

Dev notes:
* Renamed MtgsthreadObject to SysMtgsThread (matches naming pattern of other thread classes).
* Added accessors for GetMtgs() and GetCoreThread() [rationale for them documented in source comments]
* Removed wxHelpers namespace since we're using px name prefix instead for most stuff.

* Botting NoDisc with "Skip BIOS" enabled should work now (untested).
* Renamed StaticText / StaticHeading helpers to simply Text and Heading.
* Made the iR5900 recompiler's stack alignment check a dynamic toggle instead of a dev/debug build preprocessor.
* Fix annoying linux linker errors.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2229 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fixed a bug in the Full-mode FPU recompiler.
* Added some better error handling to the BIOS Rom loader.

* Exception/Signal handling now uses an EventSource, so that multiple handlers can be registered. This is in preparation for (eventual) more complete MIPS TLB support in the VTLB memory model.
* Improved code isolation, so that recompiler-specific code is primarily in iR5900-32.cpp (cleans up Counters.cpp and SysCoreThread.cpp)
