PCSX2 SVN r1288

EmuCR:PS2 emulatorPCSX2 SVN r1288 is released.PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.

PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r1282
microVU:
- Added a 1-cycle xgkick delay, fixes SO3 graphic corruption and flickering.
Theres still VU stuff the game does that isn't implemented, but the game seems to run fine w/o the implementation (only tested the beginning though).
r1283
microVU:
- Small Optimization...
r1284
microVU:
- fixed a bug from r1281 when the tri-ace gamefix is unchecked xD
r1285
GSdx: there was a bug in unaligned 4/8 bit transfer, small texture glitches may be fixed (simpson game, car logos in gt4).
r1286
Zeropad: A bunch of refactoring and cleanup. The Windows port probably won't compile right now.
r1287
microVU:
- Changed 'recPass' from a template param to a function param. Halves MSVC linking-time in release modes, but still slow (from ~10 minutes to ~5 minutes to link on my PC). I'll continue working on this later... the next change will probably reduce Release link-times to 1~2 minutes (or less than 1 minute for you guys with macho-pc's ;p).
r1288
Zeropad: Windows is back to compiling, though the config dialog is still broken.

DeSmuME SVN Changelog:
r2272
win32: redirect stderr to console in addition to stdout
r2273
win32: attach to existing console (from commandprompt) if it exists instead of always creating a new one. still needs a bit more work

r2275
i wish i couldve done it right the first time
r2276
win32: odds and ends to get things compiling in all cases
