Emulator Issues #6461
closedMark the D3D9 backend as deprecated, don't set it as the default
0%
Description
Since we are planning to remove it for 5.0, it needs to be marked as deprecated for 4.0.
Rationale: the number of D3D9 only issues is getting higher and higher without anyone working on them. D3D9 is also the only backend to not support integer in shaders, blocking us from implementing this (potentially big, especially on AMD) optimization in VideoCommon. It's also missing some features and has no maintainer.
Assigning to Neobrain since I know he wants to do it :)

D3D9 was marked as deprecated in 3.5-1067 (rbb3ce1f8d33e), but Rodolfo said he'd work on it and removed the label from Dolphin. And then proceeded to vanish without a trace.
There were some valid points at the time about SSAA and other options, but a lot of those have been fixed. There would probably be no loss if it went in 4.0. In 5.0? Everything will be worked out by then for sure.
