Custom vu-skip is back and kicks asses!!!:D Yes, this one w.o.r.k.s with GSDX <with ZeroGS too>. No blinking, no flickering graphic. BTW this one is smooth skipping - u shouldn't see frog-like jumping, but smooth animation. Unfortunately every rose has torns, or so they say... U need to use few tricks to get it to work:

I. Configuration:
a)GSDX:
-DISABLE 'wait vsync' option, or u will be screwed with 30 fps at max on some interlacing modes
b)SPEED HACKS:
-EE/IOP should be disabled <single black frame might appear more often with it on>

II. Using the damned thing:
-All right, u r almost set up. Go to Config>CPU and change frame skipping mode to VU-SKIP <u can do that too with F4 while ingame>
-Run the game
-Now the fishy part. In most cases u will see flickering graphic on GSDX. But have no fear, interlacing modes r here. Hit F5 to change interlacing modes. There r 6 of 'em. And always at least one of them will remove flickering. Voila! There u go!

III. Why?
Unfortunatelly there is no interlacing mode that will work all the time, so setting it through config menu is pointless. Sometimes, when u load a savestate, u will need to toggle through interlacing modes again, to find working one. There is no way to fix it. That's how GSDX works, and till gabest do something about it, there will be no way to fix it. I'm not a programmer <yet lol>, so don't even bother asking. But thanks to comments in PCSX2 source I was able to make this custom vu-skip.

IV. Does it really work? <check compatibility file>
Hell yes! The reason for making this was Initial D: Special Stage. The damned thing was crawling at 40fps at max on C2D @ 3,06 <my crappy e6300 needs 1.6V to run at this clock lol> with 7900GS. But with experimental vu-skip <rev 258-274> it worked @60fps at one of the modes {1,1}, and showed flickering/black shit on the other. So I've changed few things to run it only with {1,1} and there you go.

Initial D SS: GSDX 1.8 beta: 55-60fps with custom vu-skip, 20-40 on normal one
Initial D SS: ZeroGS: 40 fps with custom vu-skip, 20 on normal one

Yes, that's right. These numbers, looks nice don't they? And it's smoothed as it should be. No frog-like jumping shit. Hope u will enjoy it.:P

V. Installation:
As usuall copy exes to PCSX2 0.9.4 main directory, and run 'em from there.

Note: Sorry for the title, but otherwise half of u would run it without reading and start yelling 'why it doesn't work?'.
