You're probably all sick of seeing Zelda OOT shots, but this took some work to pull off, and I'm feeling kinda proud of my accomplishment.

Here's Zelda OOT on the unreleased version of glN64 using the improved OpenGL 1.4 combiner (which is actually an OpenGL 1.4/Radeon combiner since it'll detect and use ATI extensions) on my Radeon 9500 Pro. It should look this good on any video card that supports ARB_multitexture with 4 or more texture units, ARB_texture_env_combine, and ARB_texture_env_crossbar. This includes all Radeons from the 8500 up, and possibly others?

Anyway, on to the screenshots. These shots show off some of the more complex combine modes in Zelda OOT, which are now working fine on Radeons:

yeah. and people didnt believe me when i said 2 years ago that PC hardware (2001) was barely good enough to do good N64 (1996) HLE.

Finally actual support for radeons in a plugin! Can't wait for the next release of glN64. :w00t:

I hope you're including full framebuffer emulation, since you're coding pretty much specificall for R300 here. =)

I LOVE YOU!!!

Only one thing... in shot 2, it looks like there is a problem with the skybox, to the left of Link, and again, above Death Mountain. But that's minor compared to what you have accomplished. :D

Seeing these screenshots makes me go all googly inside! So impressive how far you've come, and so quickly! Well done.

Excellent Job Orkin! :)

Will this as yet unreleased plugin also put an end to the Paper Mario flickering? (Or was that already fixed in a previous version?

@nephalim: I'm afraid that's a bit... impossible. Sorry. :blush:

@archlyn: I believe Orkin said that was fixed, but I don't remember if it was in 0.3, or after that.

...no, not really.

The only thing consoles have been way ahead in is frame buffer math, mostly because until very recently, there wasn't enough bandwidth for it. Why ATi pushed frame buffer transfers in R300, though, I don't know... but they sure did a great job with it =)

I have another question... and maybe I'm missing the whole point of this thread, but here goes.

Will a GeForce 4 be able to make the game look like that? As it is right now, the hearts have no white borders, but I haven't played far enough to get the Magic meter yet.
Clements

The hearts are not supposed to have white borders at that stage. Only when you reach the last Great Fairy in the game when you are granted double defence (effectively doubling your heart meter)
