I'd leave the technical explanation to the experts (like Henrik and [Unknown]), but from what I gather, it's a much more robust and lighter replacement for the Read Framebuffer to Memory modes that were used to accurately emulate certain effects/functionality in various games.

Examples include:-

1. Minimap and Save Screenshot functionality in Ys Seven.

2. Photo mode in Soul Calibur.

3. The Sun effects in Burnout Legends.

4. Menu transparency and Save screenshot functionality in Trails in the Sky.

And so on. More importantly, it only activates on a per game basis and will not cause any global performance hit in games that do not require it, unlike the Read Framebuffer to Memory modes which killed performance in every game.
