`MaxAnisotropy = 0` is no longer the safest setting because it forces 1x
even if the game asks for more.
`ForceFiltering` was replaced by `ForceTextureFiltering` in
afe9d5b098. The one remaining occurrence
was merged later.
`ForceTextureFiltering` is an int option and shouldn't be set to False.
Just Dance 3, Just Dance: Best of, and Just Dance: Greatest Hits look
fine on AMD GPUs without manual texture sampling. On Nvidia GPUs they
have a single stripe that I think doesn't warrant forcing manual texture
sampling for everyone.
The NES games I tried worked fine with anisotropic filtering, it just
doesn't do anything.
Various games don't actually have any issue with anisotropic filtering
as long as it's not forced. The only game I could find that actually
requires the default aniso setting is Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
Boogie SuperStar works fine with any texture filtering setting.
At least on Android, SyncGPU has really bad performance compared to
single core. It's less stable too - I get fatal GPU desyncs in
Pokémon XD using the default settings.
Red Steel 2 has FMVs that get corrupted with Anisotropic filtering. It
also hangs on dualcore. While SyncGPU works, both another user and
myself saw much smoother gameplay when using Single Core for unknown
reasons.
