[Rice]

Version 5.0.1 has been released at http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14390.

---------------------------------


Hello, All

I am happy to release the new version after a few weeks' hard working.

Major improvements:

* better dynamic ucode detection and switching
* better screen dimension detection for EU roms
* S2DEX GBI1/GBI2, Sprite2D in both OpenGL and DirectX
* OpenGL combiner fixes
* More accurate texture loading and mapping
* Viewport, scissor in DirectX
* New features: frame skip, screen update setting, fine texture mapping


See the readme.txt file for more descriptions.


I am expecting bugs since I cann't fix all of them. Report bugs in the feedback thread.


Special thanks for Hacktarux (offering me the N64 programming manual) and Orkin (For his 2xSAI implementation).

There finally is a frame skip feature.

[LazerTag]

Just curious, Anyone remember who or what thread it was where someone said that frame skip was "impossible"?

[URAMetroid]

YES!
A new plugin, I can't wait to use it.

Thanks Rice, and keep up the good work!

I thought frame skip was determined to be useless? Is it a good speedup that's not really noticable?

[yeloazndevil]

nice job Rice! :)

[RENI]

Thanks Rice:D

[JohnnyA]

Yay Rice. Keep up the good work!

[FireBone]

(hi all i am back :holiday: )

[ScottJC]

Can't wait to try this, in the readme it says that paper mario flickering is fixed, woohoo.

[mightyrocket]

Cool! Quadruple buffering!!! I think this will be the plugin where the whole emulation-world have been waiting for so long!!

[Dr@mer]

Rice did you find the N64 programming manual you were searching for?
Did it helped you?

[Engeljaeger]

I know alot of people who hate rice, but I like Rice

Hmpf?...how could anyone hate Rice? :plain:
Pretty cool to see some progress in N64-emulation, hurrey!!! :)

Keep it up :happy:

[Engeljaeger]

O_O oooops :blush:
Forget that rice-stuff.....me little stupid f**k :blush:
Love Rice/rice anyway :P:happy:

[uepp]

what's the right emu and config 2 enjoy rice latest plugin? with pj1.5 and radeon it's absolutely inferior 2 jabo one....

[Doomulation]

Way to go, Rice! :happy: :flowers:
You've done it as always!

...Btw, correct me if I'm wrong, but tripple buffering ensures smooth graphic, right? So...does it really matter if you use triple or quadraple buffering?

Double buffer is enough to ensure smooth graphic. In a few cases, triple buffering is needed. Quadraple buffering is usually not necessary.

(OpenGL only supports double buffers since double buffer is enough for most applications)

Works like a charm on most things I've thrown at it. Well done :)

[ySS]

^^ great work. I'm trying it. See you later.

Setting double, triple or quadrupple buffering... it will traduce on performance?

Thanks Rice!! I love you!! (oh I did ti again...)

[samura]

DAmn, these guys are gettin' better by the minute!!:happy:

[The37th]

u are the best rice!!!

:happy:

[uepp]

i'm running 1964 0.85 with rice latest RiceDaedalus5.0.0.dll, but with my radeon 8500, in diretx mode, graphics is completely wrong. In OpenGl mode is better, anyway not comparable with jabo latest plugin: any tip to make his emu & rice plugin working better? i mean, even mario64 isn't perfect with this combo, where i get perfect emulation with pj 1.5...:plain:

[Trotterwatch]

To fix the problem with the Radeon check out my posting in this thread: http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14429- after following the advice you will find out that Rices plugin really does kick ass :)

[QuickPaw]

hmm...I checked the thread....used the program...but rice's plugin still won't work. Any other Radeon fixes?

I really want to try out Rice! :satisfied

[QuickPaw]

opps...I forgot to press the RUN button in the program....I was just starting the emulator by double clicking :satisfied


so..nevermind my last post :D

(btw....GREAT JOB RICE!!!)

[fearpi]

heh... smooth move. good job rice, on picking a cool, perfect-looking number for the version. but seriously, good to see someone as dedicated to emulation development as you are. keep it up.
