The most intriguing thing to me was the cut dungeon that was supposed to be in some ruins in 1000AD.
I fucking love leaked prototypes. Can't wait for the day that a FFVI or SMRPG proto drops.
I'm experiencing this weird issue with the fonts in Silent Hill 2 using PCSX2. I tried both the latest and 1.4.
In software mode, the fonts are all blurry and fucked up as you can see in the screenshot. In hardware mode, they look just fine, but hardware mode has a ton of glitches, including buggy FMVs.
I've tried using DX9,11 and OGL with similar results. I've even disabled all speedhacks to no avail.
Is there a way to play Silent Hill 2 in software mode with proper fonts?
>>148483428
Since that is that one floating temple that people mention in Zeal as having elemental weapons sealed away in only crashed down to earth it makes sense that it should've been more than just the platform with 2 chests it turned out to be in the final game. My only guess is they began running out of space in the rom for dungeons and had to cut stuff, because so much had been designed already it wouldn't make sense for them to just drop it.
>>148483735
That's weird. usually SW mode is more accurate, not less. But HW mode looks more accurate there as you said.
Last resort you may have to just play the PC version
>>148484083
Yeah, it's my experience also. Project Zero is literally unplayable in HW mode.
It's strange because I seem to be the only one with this issue.
I really don't want to touch the PC version. I'll probably just play with the fucked fonts if I have to.

Does Wind Waker work on Dolphin now? I'ts been a couple of years since I tried it but I remember there being issues where after certain cutscenes the game would freeze and never load. It made the game unplayable.

I just like the ones that enhance the original experience and fix bugs. I ought to try one of those rebalance mods sometime, though. I didn't get a lot of the broken shit on my last playthrough and I still plowed through the game effortlessly. But that's the story with most FF games starting with FFV it seems.

>>148524058
I may have been reading too much into some of the translated Japanese interviews, but I got the distinct impression "we were so naive" was not referring to the technical difficulties of their vision.
Keep in mind, this is the same company who slaved Sakaguchi out on the Final Fantasy treadmill until well past the point were he wanted to vomit merely from seeing the title words alone.
>>148524354
I think it refers to the fact that they thought games would always be so easy and quick to make with FMV shortcuts to any engine issues rather than getting on the Luminous train and having it destroy their souls with its nonsense.

No. It most definitely was not that.

>>148520564
Or Cocoron
someone told me someone was arguing about AANN here recently, so I made this
if you can't tell the difference, it doesn't matter whether you use AANN or pixellate.
>>148525650
Game dev is probably one of the worse place to work for a programmer. All the kids want to do videogames and they end up in a highly competitive industry with extremely tight deadlines and no shortage of people willing to replace you. And 95% of the work is a tedious bore with no actual artistic freedom, you're just pissing code day after day.
>>148526751
I still don't understand what's the difference between those shaders and nearest scaling.
>>148527000
>I still don't understand what's the difference between those shaders and nearest scaling.
When you're not scaling to an integer scaling factor, nearest neighbor scaling has warping for the size of target pixels. It sounds a little bad, but it's *really* bad in motion, because it makes pixels on moving objects "shimmer".
It's one of the reasons there are still diehards for perfect integer scaling, with no aspect ratio correction unless they're going super high resolution (think 4k).
>>148527187
But how does pixellate and similar shaders improve that for non-integer scaling then? If you don't use integer scaling you're bound to end up with either blurry pixels if you interpolate or pixels with different sizes if you use nearest.
I can't see any difference in those screenshots so I don't really get what's going on.
>>148527453
That's just about what pixellate and AANN do. They blur the edges of the pixels in the places that nearest neighbor would warp them. But they don't blur as much as bilinear does, and if you have an integer scale in a given dimension, they'll work just like nearest neighbor in that dimension.
They honestly look kind of shitty to me in the 1x~2.5x range if vertical ratio isn't exactly 2x, and I might just use bilinear or gaussian there instead, but I like them a lot above 2.5x.
>>148527567
Ah, I understand now, thanks.I'll keep on using internal scaling though.
The wiki's link the the latest Fusion build is outdated. Someone who isn't me should fix that.
>>148529390
Is it worth trying to compile a list of the "go-to" emulators which makes clear which ones have been superseded? I.e. to stop people using shit like zsnes instead of higan and the older GBA emus instead of mGBA?
I only discovered fairly recently that mGBA was better. I think a lot of people might have been out of the scene for some time and won't know what's best unless its made clear.
>>148531647
Indeed, cut the crap. Point out the only emulators worth using and the rest can go get fucked :3

It's that kind of nostalgia marketing that keeps Nintendo alive though.
Not gonna lie I'm buying one for my parents. They talk all the time about how they miss old games and shit but they, my mom at least, are incapable of simple tasks on a PC so I don't want to turn them loose on an emulator because I'll get a call every day asking how to get it to work. At least the NES is plug and play.

I'm a bit worried about the quality of the video, if you output the raw colors without any kind of post processing it's going to look a bit crap on a modern TV.
You could probably set up a small ARM-based box which would emulate more games and consoles, be as easy to use and might end up looking better.
The only potential advantage of Nintendo's mini-NES is that hopefully it'll have good quality "authentic" NES controllers which might end up being better than most replicas.
>>148535590
Yes. Click on any given system and notice which ones have a checkmark under "Recommended".

Right now I am using an X360 controller, but the dpad is pretty shitty so I imagine if I start trying to play action games with it I will only get frustrated.

His shit monitor claim is retarded, if I recall someone around here said some brand showed actual purple while others showed red and others were inbetween those two (aka crimson bricks)
The other thing that's flaky is the claim that 05 is purple because it contains some blue, red with a tiny bit of blue isn't purple it's crimson
Lastly it's still a "muh palette is the one true palette" argument so everybody is right more or less unless the dev says otherwise explicitly.

This. Try enabling bilinear filtering and correcting the AR to 4:3 on a NES or SNES core in RetroArch 3DS, for instance. It's pretty much what pixellate would do, and it look pretty bad. As such, I don't bother with 4:3 on it.

>>148555501
Working for me. I'm using Nvidia as well, though. Last I heard Vulkan worked on AMD, but not sure about paraLLEl.
I've been trying to find an iso for the WiiWare game "My Life as a King" but it isn't anywhere I can find. Does anyone have a copy of it?

A known anti-RetroArch troll on reddit. Looking at his post comments, all he ever seems to do is take opportunities to shit on RA.

>>148560336
He's not trolling, though. SP's new over-hyped ParalleI isn't holding mustard to that plugin. That's probably why they demoed it with SM64 and MK64... nothing actually testing.
>>148560336
>people with opinions different to my own are trolls!
>>148562492
There are other videos though.
>>148562928
Just saw that. Unfortunately, they clearly hid things like the Zelda subscreen menu which is broken. Lots of things have corrupted graphics still.
Same problems that the Glide plugins have struggled with over the decades. Hopefully it's not just another RA core that gets dropped like a dead baby.
When is SP going to port some PC98 emu to libretro? I want to play my porn games with shaders

Just sprinkling some SSE pixiedust on top of angrylion is not much of an accomplishment or task compared to having to port the entire angrylion code as-is over to the GPU. Surely you must understand the difference in undertaking and significance, right?
Software rendering is a deadend, GPU rendering isn't. It's as simple as that. One holds unlimited potential, the other only finite. And one demands far greater effort and skills.
>>148562492
It is trolling since it was off topic drama baiting.
So every time I run VBA, It plays fine but the audio occasionally sounds choppy. Only for a few seconds, and it seems random as to when it happens. It could be when nothing is really happening on screen or it could be in some super important moment.

If it's that simple, then why can't I run games at full speed using frankenmupen's version of Angrylion?
>>148552757
The curious convention of "ESC=instantly close program" in Japanese PC gaming comes from that seedy underbelly of Japanese gaming, the eroge, which was a mainstay of Japanese PC gaming and still is. It's so muddled in history that perhaps not many modern Japanese gamers will even recognize this origin now unless they were around in the old days. You see, when you're playing a game with wanton naked women sometimes performing extremely lewd sex acts on the screen at any given moment, you need essentially a "panic button" -- something that will allow you to tell the game to "get all this sex off the screen now!" -- so in case someone who you don't want to know of your sordid habits walks in, you can almost instantly remove it from the screen. The most natural, quick and logical button for that is the ESC key. This was the button that became the convention and because eroge were such a widespread phenomenon in Japanese PC gaming, it stuck for non-eroge games on PC as well.

It's not simple, it just isn't on the same amount of effort and work though, and you know it. That's not a criticism or anything, just a basic fact. And it doesn't mean the speedup of angrylion software is not appreciated either.
>>148566860

I'm not taking the position that the software render is superior in terms of complexity, novelty, or API usage. In that case, sure, ParalleI is a clear winner.
I'm just an end user, man. If sprinkling SSE over something gives me a totally accurate and enjoyable output, I'm not going to pick a Vulkan-based solution over the former just for shits and giggles.

Have they just given up on Linux? There's already a bug filed on the tracker, but it's been a few months so I'm pretty sure nobody pays attention to that thing.
And why do they even support Android? Is anything playable on those things? I looked up a few gameplay videos and they all run at like 2 fps.
>>148570274
>And why do they even support Android?
probably for money..
>>148570380
It's free.
>>148567014
Yeah, but the plugin the commented referenced doesn't suffer from this issue either.
OTOH, the Vulkan plugin botches the Zelda subscreen menu up big time, just like all the other HLE plugins. The plugin from the reddit thread is clearly angrylion-based and does not.
>>148570274
>Have they just given up on Linux?
It says 'and Linux' right there.
>There's already a bug filed on the tracker, but it's been a few months so I'm pretty sure nobody pays attention to that thing.
Do you think they just fix bugs as soon as they appear? It depends on the intensity and difficulty of fixing it.
>>148570827
How do you increase the intensity of a bug on github?

>download dolphin 5.0 for [...] linux

call me crazy, but that seems like a pretty big issue.
>>148571402
Intensity meaning how much of an impact the bug has on the average player.
>>148571449
Probably should've specified that in the post, bra.
I get the feeling Dolphin is made up of "PEECEE GAMOURS" while PCSX2 is more of a mixed and weird bunch so that may be why they neglect Linux
>>148570274
There's a repo for it:

>Is anything playable on those things?
Some of the least resource intensive games will run full speed on things like the nvidia shield tablet, or other highend devices.
>>148571962
So games like Fire Emblem titles?

Actually, TinyTiger informed me that you can get the Zelda subscreen menu to work just fine with paraLLEl, but it requires a source code edit (basically setting a define) to enable something called 'full sync mode'.
And the reason he does not enable it by default is that it blocks CPU/GPU parallelism, so it's quite taxing on performance.
He thinks it will be more useful once RSP dynarec is in.
There might be an update pushed later today or tomorrow that adds a core option for this so people can play around with it.
Other than that, some missing combiner effects and just generally trying to find out the remaining deviations between this and Angrylion, but it's not really as far behind as you might think.
>>148572730
Thanks for the update.
Ever thought about fuzzing for regressions by generating random DLs and playing them back on both? If you memcmp the framebuffers it should be able to find bugs pretty quickly (unless you're already aware of the pain points like what you mentioned).
>>148572961
Yes, TinyTiger already wrote a standalone RDP program that reads RDP dumps.
You can build mupen64 libretro with HAVE_VULKAN HAVE_RSP_DUMP HAVE_RDP_DUMP - you can then get it to dump RDP/RSP state dumps, you can then read that into the standalone RDP test program to replay back the frames.
He is going to make this more accessible through an ingame key combo later on.
I hate all this Vulkan/DX12 madness. You shouldn't need a new CPU and GPU to play 15 year old games.

>>148573841
Stop being poor senpai
>>148573841
The problem is that most N64 most emudevs haven't multithreaded their emulators. LLE RDP isn't going to happen on a single core unless it's Haswell at 4GHz+. RA's approach is to just make the single-threaded approach more viable by hardware accelerating the critical portion. CEN64 is trying to multithread several interpreters in parallel. The user in the reddit thread seems to be getting away by sprinkling "SSE pixel dust" all over his plugin and running it on a nuclear reactor.
In the end, it doesn't matter because N64 emulation as a whole is getting the hell of a lot better. All of these things occurring in parallel should result in a lot of choice for users.

Usually you install stuff with a single simple command like
>pacman -S firefox
It's actually pretty fucking sweet.
Also, you can update every single thing you have installed just by typing something like
>pacman -Syu
Most of the stuff on that page is for adding a new repository.
