Amazing work!!! :happy:
simply astounding, with a little better sound emulation n64 emulation really is getting forward to be perfect!

ciruZ said:Look nice. But the fps count seems to be very low.
Is this because of the plugin or because of your hardware?
It's because of a combination of factors.... Firtly the plugin need a fast video card with at least 4 texture units to support all combiners and my video card (gffx 5200) isn't really known to be fast when used with 4 texture units.... My cpu isn't fast either, it's only a duron 1GHz that i'm using with slow sdram. And lastly, it's a debug build without any compilation optimization turned on and i can see a huge difference if i turned them on (in some games it double the speed).
With all these factors, i'm not considering it's bad results: all these roms are PAL except mario : 20.83 fps in mario instead of 30, 11.33 fps in zelda instead of 17.5 and i don't know what are the theoretical fps for these other games...

Anyone have an idea where to get a GFX card list that gives the number of texture units? I am guessing my Radeon 7500 is below spec on this and I'm curious as to what's out there that supports 4 speedy units among other things (while selling for a reasonable price...). I remember a link someone gave in a discussion about pixel shaders but I don't know what thread it is in, how to effectively search for it, or even if it talks about texture units. I know it gave some pretty detailed information so it may mention texture units. If someone knows the link or has another one that would be great.
I should add: nice pics. Great work Hack.

Didn't mean to imply that it wouldn't work- in fact I have mentioned before how wonderful your wrapper does work on my card. What I meant was my frame rate shown by Glide64 is also pretty low, usually in the teens but occasionally below ten. I really need a new system since my 1.1Ghz is getting pretty dated, but I was curious to know what cards, particularly lower priced DX9 cards, actually have four texture units to get the full benefits you were mentioning, that's all.
Update: Hey, Clements just posted the link I was looking for in another forum (http://users.erols.com/chare/video.htm)! And it does mention the number of TMUs on the cards (mine has 3 per pipe with two pipes, so I guess it does meet the four TMU spec after all?). Must be the 1.1GHz CPU causing the slow frame rate then. Hmm.

afaik, it wasn't really possible to use glide3x directly. It was designed to be used by the DRI driver only. But maybe i'm wrong...
It's not an external library but well... it'll be open source and it should be very easy to link it with the glide library : i think it'll only require changing the makefile to not link the wrapper files, and add a link flag to use the glide3x lib. But again i can't test it myself.

anyway your wrapper work on linux and that's the good point. Not a lot of people have a 3dfx now .... And so everybody 'll be able to see the real power of glide64 ...

that looks pretty cool. gln64 works pretty good for me right now (pretty much full speed with mario64, mario kart 64, doom 64, diddy kong racing, and i think a couple other games i don't play much. goldeneye is still kinda slow, but i'm just waiting for the dynarec can't wait hax, and maybe glide64 plugin will have more compatibility with the games I have that don't display right (such as beetle adventure racing ) i can't wait hax, well i can, but i'm excited!
