x64 Work and Testing

[tadanokojin]

#3451 is closed now. I want to keep track of discussion/testing about what remains for x64 and any new ideas (better register management, etc) borne of it.

Windows Builds

So far I'm aware of:

• folder memory cards are broken (addressed in Fix out of bounds array access in folder memcards #4113)
• gsdx sw x64 is broken on Windows
• gsdx sw x64 lacks mipmapping

If I may, the first step is to make x64 work fine and then drop 32 bits.
Then feel free to rewrite everything to improve the recompiler speed.

I agree. Focus should be on getting everything done.

The memory card stuff should be sorted now, so Linux at least is ready to go. For GSdx, I understand tellow has it mostly working and @GovanifY is planning to take a closer look. Will need to sort out mipmapping but after those two we shall be ready for public release (and any fun bugs that come).

#3577 Now works on Windows and has mipmapping

64 bit has been working for a good while now , so i think this discussion can be closed , well done 👍
