Hello, All

Here is new version to fix most of the bugs.
-------------------------------------------------------

Version 5.0.1 is a bug fix release over version 5.0.0. The following bugs are fixed.

- Stripey textures when Fast Texture loading is enabled
- Alpha test bug (Rocket-Robot on Wheels, Chameleon Twist 2, etc.)
- Incorrect texture loading (Evangelion, Space silicon valley, GE, and many other games)
- Yoshi story (working in DirectX or Ogl 1.1)
- Zelda road dirty texture
- Dr. Mario, showing dropping pills (Frame Buffer Emu = "Copy & Back")
- Incorrect using options
- Mario Tennis, better frame buffer support
- Banjo-Tooie, disable the white background

You should be able to easily find that many other games are also fixed.

I doubt if you are using the new DLL and new INI file.

The attached shot was make on my office computer with Rage 128 video card. It has combiner problems, but you can see the background and dropping pills.

i always was using the geforce or better combiner for my geforce 3 ti 200.

now with it the middle end card see the picture is much better!

it is the combiner type that is most the problem!

also is the high end combiner very good! is this of the opengl 1.2 and 1.3?

This is interesting. Did you modify the INI file? If you want, you can also try other DirectX combiners and OpenGL ones.

For your Geforce 3/ti, you should use the high end combiner, not the Nvidia TNT one.

i do not modify anything but the setting.

with high end everything is much the better! it is for me forever! the last problem is maybe it is a little slow. i put on the 2xsai, though for it is so nice for the looking! maybe this is my speed problem, or also shareaza?

shroomario.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT PLUGIN!

It is a very bad idea to use 2xSAI with "Copy & back" frame buffer emu option. It will slow down the game a lot. You may try the "Frame skip" option.

Again, you have to wait for the next 1964 in order to speed up.

i can be of the most patient wait! this i will undo then (the 2xsai).

also is it not running too well with uhle2064, but probably will it change for them with an update.

Rice,

I don't have the right words to thank you enought, Evangelion now is fully playably just some miniors black lines around, but is probably just garbage on screen.

Congratulations and thank's for all your hard work, now I can say, without any doubt, this is the best N64 gfx plugin.

Thank you !

Regards,
DeLeTeBR

Anychance you could implement emulated width/height options like in Jabos plugin, so we can get rid of black bars and things?

that would be awesome imo

There is no need to do so. I have an algorithm good enough to automatically handle most width/height resolutions for most games. I haven't seen more than a few games with resolution problems. If you do see some games with incorrect resolution, let me know.

StarFox 64 has black bars around all the corners, but i don't think thats a resolution problem... i find it annoying.

Rice

June 10th, 2003, 17:50

It is viewport clippig. It is supposed to be like that. You won't see it on a real TV with real N64 console. (Will there be a solution or a hack for it?)

I use OpenGL and the other option, that I don't recall the name, I use "Best fit for Geforce" or something like that, it's the last one on the list.

I just signed up so I can say great job Rice. Your plugin is finally making N64 emulation worth while. I look forward to every update. I hope you continue the excellent work you've started until N64 emulation is more or less complete. Again, good work.

Rice, I thought 4.6 was your latest, (I rarely read the 1964 forums, I usually stick to PJ64) when I got 5.0.1 damn, i was blown away, Dr. Mario is looking very promising, the only thing that doesnt work for me is the pieces blink, but its playable.

Awsome Awsome work, youve made me a fan, I'm gonna be keepin a close eye on the plugin now. :-D

Great to see advances in the 64 emulation! BUT, since nothing is perfect, has anyone started a compatibility list? You know, so we don't play a game like Zelda OOT only to find the game crashes in a fight with Ganondorf?

My monitor doesn't support 1600x1200x32 resolution, so you have an other advantage. :)

If you want to add 700x525(32bit) that'd be nice too :n64:

And nephalim, why that odd resolution? :plain:

I do, but only my real PC games like UT2k# and RavenShield and so on. Most of the N64 stuff I play is never more then 1024x768 and usually I have it set to 800x600.

marioshroom

June 21st, 2003, 01:57

eventually will only the higher resolutions be wanted/needed. also since gfx of n64 are simple for polygon count, is it easy to run at a very high resolution.

i am more excited for 2xsai to work even the better for me are the trees in mario 64 still the blocky!

I seem to have a problem when I use this plugin with Project64 and OpenGL. There are black squares surrounding all of the sprites in any game I try. I have a Asus GeForce 1 256 32MB DDR, Thunderbird 900Mhz, 384MB PC-133 RAM. I am using Detonator Drivers 27.42. [ It doesn't make sense to use the latest drivers because they don't make the GeForce 1 performance any better, I have noticed that the new Detonator 40 series and above kills my performance! ] When I use Direct3D on PJ64 the squares are gone. So does anyone know how to fix this OpenGL problem with black squares surrounding sprites?
