Meta: Direct3D Depth Emulation

[lightningterror]

Idea is to keep 1 issue open for Depth issues for Direct3D. We don't need duplicates of the same issue.

Currently Direct3D lacks depth support and needs to be ported from OpenGL by a brave soul which will fix various issues on many games and bring D3D closer to GL level in emulation.

List of issues:

• [SLES_505.56] New York Race: Rendering issues and Intro regression #2553 New York Race
• The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (USA) Direct3D Rendering Issue #2453 The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers
• Beyond good and evil : broken graphics #1986 Beyond Good And Evil
• [GSDX-TC] Regression in Jackie Chan Adventures #1838 Jackie Chan Adventures
• SpongeBob: ROTFD (NTSC-U) - Black splotches covering the screen in D3D HW renderers #1685 SpongeBob: ROTFD
• Growlanser - Heritage of War : Incorrect depth of models in hardware mode. #1117 Growlanser - Heritage of War
• [GSDX] Soul Calibur III [NTSC-U] #895 Soul Calibur Series
• Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories and Vice City stories transparency bug #378 GTA Series

There are just a few, there are a lot of games that use depth emulation that aren't on the issue tracker.

DX11 Depth has been implemented already, no?

It has, anyway closing this, remaining issues are likely other effects that break depth.

If I'm correct, by text it means that issues with GTA Stories are fixed only on OpenGL.
On both OpenGL and DirectX I get same results. https://i.imgur.com/lMipZzU.png

Nobody cares about 1.4 at this point seriously.

Thanks for info, I didn't payed attention on main download page that 1.4 is from 2016.
