It's because EFB Z reads aren't implemented yet. They are especially tricky on DX9 but
wouldn't be much of an issue on DX10.

cool, just opening up bugs I find :)

One solution is to write Z to a separate MRT color render target and read that back,
but that's not very efficient. INTZ / RAWZ texture formats could be a way around
this. Nvidia supports both and ATI supports INTZ in newer cards. We'd use one of
these as a depth buffer.

See http://developer.amd.com/gpu_assets/Advanced%20DX9%20Capabilities%20for%20ATI%20Radeo
n%20Cards.pdf

However, unless Intel also supports it we'll still need the annoying MRT solution
too. So might as well implement it..

, of course it isn't, since EFB to RAM wasn't implemented in
D3D

Looks like the same issue is responsible for transparent minimap in ZTP and broken
(a bit) global/area map.

Disable Safe Texture Cache fixes global map in ZTP but there is no longer mini map

I have tried without STC - there is no minimap and no detailed overlay map on big
dungeon map (only texture).
SCT matters not tbh

Is it possible with DX10 to create a dx9 device, in the same way that you may create a
DX10 device from DX11? That way we could be lazy, and manage to add support for peekZ -
just for DX10 devices ;p

Scanner working, i think it's time to close this issue

Yeah, it's working, but it's buggy... Try scanning in Metroid Prime 3 or even in
Prime 2 and you'll see. There's no highlight, you have to guess what you can scan or
not... Or use a FAQ. But finally it works! That's quite awesome.
