Some guy is allegedly coding a OpenGL4 pluging for psx emulators.

This looks similar to PCSX2 texture bugs for example in Shadowman 2.
http://ngemu.com/threads/psx-shaders-with-launchbox.183505/
@shinra358 :
I think that the profile system in ePSXe is meant to associate different plugins with different games (which is indeed a really nice feature). Not different settings for the same plugin (each plugin has its own way of saving settings, after all).
@ZeldaFan86 :
I'm currently developing my own GPU plugin from scratch (C++, threads, OpenGL 4, DirectX 11, WARP) with a profile system and with game/profile associations. It allows the user to create/edit/import/export multiple configurations.
Unfortunately, I currently don't have much time to develop the plugin (I'm busy working on my thesis), and there's still a lot of work to do. So it won't be complete for at least 6 months (and will certainly require beta-testing when it's done).
>>143437687
That's just speedrun magic.
But it's certainly a game to try out.

I don't know if the PS1 emulation scene is suffering from the same shit as the N64 scene but a 2.4Ghz i5 SHOULD be able to emulate a console from 2 decades ago smoothly even with that, right?
>>143448664

Wow you got ripped off bro. Did you know that the Pentium 4 was clocked at 4.0GHz?
>>143448664
I find it hard to believe that a 2.4 Ghz i5 won't run pretty much every game on mednafen at full speed, my 11 year old q9300 handled it perfeclty

I have a laptop with a similar CPU and I can run mednafen in RA at 1x and it works fine. I can't do 2x with most games though.
>>143448664

How can a man with that much assembly knowledge live in poverty? Is he autistic or something?
>>143446706
Both are wrong. Real console would output the active area in between those two display aspect ratios because it always maintained 8:7 PIXEL aspect ratio, as opposed to 1:1 pixel aspect ratio that results in square pixels and either 8:7 or 16:15 display aspect ratio depending on whether 224 or 240 lines are drawn.
So the correct display aspect ratio for 256x240 SNES is 256 (8/7) / 240 = 1.219047619:1 or slightly wider than 6:5.

I'd imagine it's not all that hard to implement for the PS1. IIRC the only thing Simias was having trouble with was with mask bit emulation. And he's currently using OpenGL 3.x IIRC. Could be with time they can maybe get it down to 2.x just like Pete's plugin. Right now a lot of things are not properly implemented or at all, so some games will have heavy errors, while others look just peachy already, such as >>143430072.

How uneducated about computers in general are you?
>>143478194
I majored in cs and ee. So Im fairly knowledgeable.
>>143478521
Evidently, you slept through it all. 99% of the time, cores don't matter in emulation.
>>143478647
>Emulation is taught in computer schools
>>143478194
It seems that you are the uneducated one.
Software doesn't utilize all cores that are available. Only as much as it was designed to.
Having a quad-core won't make software run magically better if it was only optimized for dual-core and nothing more.
>>143477051
FFXII is one of the easiest games to run on PCSX2
>>143478701
Any good school would have taught you enough that you would have been able to deduce that the number of cores doesn't matter in most situations.
>>143477051
you'll have to do native res but otherwise you should be fine
>>143478647
>cores dont matter in emulation
do you know what you just said?
>>143478791
Ill rephrase my question because I dont think he was able to understand it.
Is cemu able to take advantage of quadcores. I know the wii u is tri core and it probably emulates that. But I cant find it anywhere.
Why is Play! so slow? This seems to be a bigger issue than compatibility.
>>143478980
>Any good school would have taught you enough that you would have been able to deduce that the number of cores doesn't matter in most situations.
Please stop. You are sounding far too uneducated. Do you know what a thread is? Most software is multithreaded now. This isnt your intro level cli program.
Its just a matter of how many threads it uses.
>>143479023
>do you know what you just said?
Are you going to try to argue and tell me that Dolphin uses more than two cores?
>>143472361
Can anyone comment on the reliability of PGXP?
I've read that it now tries to use the old GTE accuracy hack as a fall back if it doesn't work, before having a final fallback of the original vertex positions.
I can deal with minor vertex seams, and it being jittery as a fallback, but it seemed to be having some major issues causing stuff like falling through world geometry and shit (according to the forum thread).
Is it stable enough to use for most games?
Is it worth trying to use, or should I just hold off for a while until the kinks get worked out?
>>143479207
If you say cores dont matter than Im sure you think dolphin runs well on a single core.
>>143479194
http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Computer_specs#More_Cores
>Emulators generally only utilize 2 cores (sometimes 3 or 4 with hacks), so having a hexa/octacore CPU, or one capable of hyperthreading, wont benefit you anymore than having a similar quadcore CPU.
Newer system emulators like RPCS3 can utilize more cores though, by emulating the system's thread scheduler it uses as many cores as a game makes threads.
If you're the end all source of knowledge, maybe you should update the wiki that nobody reads :^)
>>143474580
That's a stupid question.
Quad cores unquestionably will run faster even if that's simply because they offload some OS processes.
That said, Cemu could very possibly make use of more than two threads. It's unlikely, but since it's closed source there's no way to know unless you ask the devs or run some benchmarks.
>>143479342
Thank you for proving my point.
>>143479260
> causing stuff like falling through world geometry and shit
You mean breaking the actual game engine and messing up things like collision detection? Because that's highly unlikely, the vast majority of PSX games don't rely on the GPU output in their engine.
>>143479194
Hey, my entry level cli programs are multithreaded.
What console was relatively the most powerful one when it was released?
FM Towns Marty?
>>143479715
PS3 was pretty impressive on paper. Unfortunately it was a bitch to tap into that potential from what I've heard.
So should I assume no one knows if cemu is able to utilize more cores yet?
Youd think that there would be benchmarks for this or some recommended specs.

10 years. And I'm seeing it handle games like RE4 or FFXII decently. But the frame rate is super slow. The guy doing the testing has a really top of the line CPU. The good news is that they seem to be playing with relatively little glitches. They are just running 5 fps.

>>143480643
It wouldn't be so bad if iCatButler made his own thread about it and was editing the first post with info about the current glitches and shit. Part of the problem is that none of the info is in a single spot, it's spread all over the fucking place, hidden deep in the last 15 pages or so of a large thread.
Also, iCatButler doesn't quote the posts he's referring to, so it's hard to tell which glitches he's fixed and which haven't been.
I'm not gonna bitch and actually expect that out of him, given all the work he's been doing on this, but it's annoying as balls. I would have expected someone else to have written up an overview about it by now.

Wii U is tri-core, if Cemu emulated the Wii U's thread schedular it could make use of 3 of the host's threads. And another thread for GPU emulation isn't uncommon for 6th+ console emulation.
So it really wasn't a stupid question.
That being said, it only uses one thread for CPU right now. It's planned to change in the future.

Why is it having more trouble with 2D than 3D? I thought 2D elements were easier to emulate.
Lovely skybox
>>143487547
Yeah there's this texture error that's probably because of the missing texture mask emulation.
Then there's the wrong opacity/semi-transparency effects on many items and during fade-in/out effects. I don't know what causes that yet but hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Then there's the whirl animation when the fight begins, those are notoriously hard to implement in hardware renderers, they're probably reading recursively overwriting the framebuffer with itself while rotating it or something like that.
>>143487721
Case by case basis. 3D consoles does not render 2D like 2D consoles do. It's more complicated than that.
This is some trippy shit
>>143488795
Is there a "shadow image" following you normally? Some kind of speed blur? Looks like this game likes messing with the framebuffer as well.

>>143489430
PS1 emulation is doing really well, and Dolphin seems to have stabilized to be usable for most games. Cycle accuracy for NES, SNES, and GBC is a thing that is reasonably achievable on most computers. Many emulators now have far more accurate alternatives that are becoming more and more usable on lower powered hardware.
Advances may not be flashy, but they're happening.

>Isn't the whole point of RetroArch that it's just an example UI for the libretro library
Not really, its an implementation of the libretro library too.
Libretro is just an interface, RA does all the heavy lifting. I think what those dolphin devs meant was it would be nice if the libretro implementation was separate from RA, and RA was literally just GUI code.

It's playing a lot of games with relatively few glitches. This is the work of ONE man.
GIve him a team of people to jump in, improve the dynarec and sudenly it can compete with PCSX2. This can be done within 6 months.
I remember when Play! couldn't boot FFX or any 3D games. The progress he's made in just a few years is remarkable.

Not going to happen, unless end users actually decide to start being useful for once. There's a massive shortage of programmers.
>>143494454
Why cater to them when they have never bothered to help libretro or RA to begin with.
It takes two to tango. And catering to devs who just baselessly insult you out of ignorance doesn't make for a good working relationship.
>>143505492
I think for now we should just promote Play! I admit, I had written it off too. But the recent videos show it's pretty damn good. This might bring some developers.

You've been following the project for over 8 years?
I'm new to emulation and got one problem. PS2 games are ugly as fuck.
I installed Romstation and every other emulators are doing just fine (Except for Kenka Bancho that keeps crashing).
But PS2 games are ugly as fuck especially Yakuza.
I saw on Youtube videos, people having HD graphism (wit God Hand for example). How do I do that ?

Demolition racer only has slightly broken FMVs and the blinking bar at the bottom of the screen but everything else look fine.
Strangely one of the game I expected to be broken in interesting ways doesn't really have any specific looking bugs except maybe one.

Why? No 3d games will run fullspeed even on the highest end CPU. There's only a few games that go in-game and don't have completely broken graphics - I don't think there are any 3D games that don't have any graphical issues).

that can be solved by a dynarec. Or do you think PCSX2 is some magic emulator that can run ps2 games full speed and not any other ps2 emulator?
>>143507883
>that can be solved by a dynarec.
Play! has a dynarec. And even if it ran 1000x faster, there's only a few games that would playable without major glitches.
>>143508127
>Play! has a dynarec.
Not a good one. The Play! guy is not a dynarec dev obviously.
> there's only a few games that would playable without major glitches.
No shit. But you're acting like this is some impossible to climb mountain. It's not. It's way easier to improve Play! than to rewrite PCSX2.

No, just that something that can barely play a few games isn't 'pretty damn good' and worth promoting.

Really not that far off neutrinoSX2 and PS2emu.

In the very far off future.

Gundam Battle Assault 2 looks pretty much perfect. Einhander has heavily glitched FMVs, but the gameplay itself looks fine. Threads of Fate has some garbage at the bottom, but otherwise seems ok for the most part.
Any cracked versions of CEMU 1.5.1 out bros?
>>143516512
Pointless to crack.
>>143512448
>doesn't have PCSX2's inherent problems
such as? I say this, cause ps2 is one of my fave systems, but I don't work on ps2 emulation cause PCSX2 is a lost cause and I'm stuck with a toaster.
>>143517186
PCSX2 is still Win32 focused. And it has a lack of mip mapping support. So we're never going to have glitch free Daxter games.
>>143517368
>PCSX2 is still Win32 focused.
Just x86 centric now, gregory got it away from windows only.
>>143517620
Good luck with the terrible OGL support.
>>143517368
>implying play handles mipmapping in r&c
>>143518249
It's not 2013, anon, the OGL backend is the best available in PCSX2.
>>143517368
>And it has a lack of mip mapping support.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the problem was that those games use a specific implementation of it which doesn't work at all with the way PCSX2 deal with mip mapping in most other games?
>>143517368
I don't mind a win32 focused emu. I was bothered by stuff like lack of x64 support. So even the software renderer doesn't have mip mapping support?
>>143519041
yes it does.
mipmapping works fine in hardware for most games anyway
>>143518718
Yeah it's referred to as 'custom mipmapping' when talking about those games IIRC, so they're doing something funky.
>>143519041
>So even the software renderer doesn't have mip mapping support?
It's not perfect in SW either but R&C and AC work for the most part, Jak and RRV still don't though.
>>143519041
why do you care about x64 if you're on windows?
ps2 emulation benefits little from it
>>143519147
>>143519185
I see
>>143519284
>why do you care about x64 if you're on windows?
>ps2 emulation benefits little from it
Doesn't the ps2 use some 64bit instructions? I like x64 because you have 2x as many registers. This is especially useful since compilers suck at register allocation.
>>143519628
>Doesn't the ps2 use some 64bit instructions? I like x64 because you have 2x as many registers. This is especially useful since compilers suck at register allocation.
IIRC, mostly 32bit and 128. Anyway, the extra registers would be of little benefit.

I'm interested in a copy of a patreon build just to peek at it, not to play games with.
>>143520426
I hear what they are saying, but I still think they have a bad mindset. Even if it's doubtful, you should still eventually try anyway. It could be the case where certain optimizations do more than you anticipated. It should definitely help with the software renderer, since that's cpu bound.
>>143521868

What is the likelihood that Ryphecha will release a Saturn emu by the end of the year?
>>143523172
Emus don't release, that's a myth. They are WIPs forever and anytime a dev tells you something's a "release" version it's actually nothing like a regular software release, it's just a differently labeled development version just to say you have a release version, because mimicking the adults is what amateur programmers do.
>>143523172
I don't know. I would hope that the months-long hiatus from mednafen development means that an extremely solid Saturn emu is comin' down the track.
>>143526904
Either you're using a crappy disc image or a disc drive emulator that doesn't work with SSF.
>>143526904
If my experience with other early CD-based systems tells me anything, it's that an unexpected appearance of the BIOS/Music Player means it isn't even properly recognizing the disc/image. If you're lucky, this just means a bunk track layout, and you'll need to look up how SSF expects CD Media to be presented.
If you're unlucky, you've got an unsalvageable bad rip and you'll need to source from elsewhere. Please do note that I'm not at all familiar with the Sega Saturn per-se; I just know the general tech behind these optical-based units.

Alright, I fixed the problem. Now I have a new problem.
After I skip the opening FMV scene, the game goes blank and stops running. This is a common problem, as I'm reading many others also had this problem. But no-one has a fix for it.
Any solution?

Keep looking, but it might not be possible. Saturn emulation is just really really bad, sorry.
>>143528765
>Keep looking, but it might not be possible. Saturn emulation is just really really bad, sorry.
But I've seen people emulate Guardian Heroes on SSF on Youtube. I know it's possible; I just don't understand what's wrong.
>>143528142
Are you using a proper Saturn image or an iso?
>>143528142
Crank the emulation preset to the most accurate one and see what happens.
Might also just be crappy disc images (what format is it in?)
>>143529023
>>143529061
It's a bin image. I scanned it with CDMage to see if there was any errors, but everything seemed to be fine.
>Crank the emulation preset to the most accurate one
How do I do that? I don't quite understand. I'm new to Saturn emulation.

Virtual Clone Drive is what I use. It works perfectly and I have Windows 8.1

You'd think the most perfect, 'accurate' emulator for the SNES would be able to at least start the bloody game, but no
Am i doing something wrong here or what?
>>143528765
Not sure what everyone is doing wrong, but i've finished a bunch of games via saturn emulation and they all run perfectly. I don't even hook up my console anymore.
>>143531135
But you can't use .bin with it and the trurip set is the only that provides anything else, and it's not even 100% guaranteed to work.
>>143531025
Pirate Alchohol 120%, only other virtual drive I know of that works with SSF takes every format and isn't DT.
