shots of vid plug issues

[Smiff]

Thought it might be nice to have some pictures of bugs in the v1.4 video plugin to go along with the descriptions of problems in PJgameFAQ. Would anyone like to submit some pics? If you do, please:

1) set windowed resolution to 640x480
2) find bug
3) check your video card is not causing the problem by comparing with Reference Rastizer (video plugin, display tab).
4) press ALT+PRTSCN
5) paste into paint program
6) save as .jpg, medium-high quality
7) give .jpg suitable name
8) attach .jpg to this thread :)

Thanks :) Any Qs just ask.


these are not game specific vid plug issues (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2917)

there's gonna have to be some more rules ehehe sorry ;)

1) only 1 shot per game issue please, check thread before posting
2) if a whole series of games is affected, please give only 1 shot, and write names of all games with same problem (e.g. ISS series, title screens)
3) no general plugin limitations e.g. near clipping plane, sprite alpha blending. I might explain these better so people know what I mean.
4) nothing that can be fixed through configuration

I'll have to moderate the thread a bit to keep it accurate for people reading.. don't be offended if one of your posts dissappears!

Hey you,Pikacu!(disable Force Normal Blending)

Remote, you appear to be having video card driver problems.
If using Nvidia, are you using the Detonator 23.11??

Yes, are they the set of drivers Nvidia removed from their site due to the lack of quality? But even if they are the cause of some graphical errors, I have been getting the same errors with the reference(RGB emulation), sometimes even worse. And for Castlevania, it is a fifty-fifty split between scrambled and non scrambled.

[Smiff]

RGB emulation is _not_ reference rasterizer, Reference Rasterizer is reference rasterizer.

Ignore this if someone's already posted about this:

RR64: no stop lights, missing Namco/Nintendo splashscreens during intro (screen just goes red after rotating N)

Somebody else plz post pics, I don't have a machine here that runs PJ64 ATM.

Hey, Remote!
Look at my screenshot!

[Smiff]

ok lots of things right

bomberman - yes thats possible, Q is _how_ did you do it. i cant spot the sequence. annoying!

sya64 - can you stop posting pics please, you have a system problem.

rr64 - rear view mirror, try internal transforms. splash screens & brake lights, yeah might be sommat there

[hotshitu]

wow 40 FPS with ref rasterizer.... :look:

[F-3582]

It is easy: press "Start", when you see this scene in the intro:

[Smiff]

ah.. good 1

[Smiff]

not quite sure what you're getting at hotshitu.. people don't have to use Reference Rasterizer for pics they post in this thread, i just want them to be sure that what they're posting _is_ a plugin fault.

[Remote]

It plays pretty well with the CPU and RSP cores set to interpreter, CF set to 6 and larger compiler buffer enabled. For a while it showed me correct menus, but then I reseted it to see if the intro was ok and it went back to black. It appears to be a problem with the video buffer writing to the screen. If you click on options and configure graphic plugin and then move the dialog box around rapidly you will see the entire game.

[Remote]

This game should work flawlessy, even intro, as long as the expansion pack in enabled a long with force normal blending.

Look familiar... press start...

[Smiff]

heh... i agree with F-3582 as a solution, and not with Remote.. you dont need interpreters and using Exp Pak and Normal Blending doesnt help me in the game, only the intro.

[Smiff]

yes but.. what matters is finding the easiest way to play the game... what would say is the easiest settings+actions to recommend?

[F-3582]

I think that I should mention a few things:

In some stages the screen turns black again (e.g. at the 2nd boss of GreenGarden or in the entire Snow-Land).

Maybe Remote's suggestion is a solution of some of those problems...???

[Remote]

The easiest solution would be to press start, since the intro really is not that important, but as F-3582 said force normal blending is required at some points in the game, i.e the Snow Land. I am not sure what exact settings that gives the best solution, however force normal blending removes the blackness. For menu items, where the background does not appear, larger compiler buffer and / or CPU core set to interpreter and / or expansion pak set to enabled could be the solution.

[EdgeBlade]

XG2 Fix: http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3022

[F-3582]

OK, I've tested "Force Normal Blending":

- You still have to press START at the same time as before
- the Snow-World-blackscreen is fixed (also in the game - THXXXXXXXXX Remote :colgate: )
- the Green-Garden-Problem is not fixed :pissed:

just referring to the pic with the messed up menus in RR64. Had he cared to compare with the reference rasterizer, as recommended by _you_, he might've actually spotted the difference. Sarcasm as usual.

While I was playing Fushigi no Dungeon on PJ64 1.4 (with both new and old rdb files), it "Hang" or "Freeze" after this screen. It was after Level 3 of the dungeon, the begining of the game. Why the statue said that it was compatible on PJ64?

Did anyone got the same problem? Can anyone help?

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

If you want to test it, it's just in the beginning of the game. Just play the game till the level 3 or level 4 of the Dungeon, you should see this screen. After this screen, the PJ64 program FREEZE. If you can get pass this screen, means something wrong with my PC.

Maybe, my computer got some problem with the Fushigi no Dungeon? or need some adjusment or setting for this game?

why u ask

compatibility they say was there main goal i give them there dues they fairly succeeded but it is the ignorence in which it done it they say they only researched on key players as in games well lets take for example wrestling games the n64 has more wrestling games than a playstation and yet only one works partially with menus missing and you cant change options which leaves the game a bit shit because u cant change difficulty change pin types so you cant have a cage match submission or a cage match pin so it really is very annoying and the main thing about wrestling is storylines but u cant see the text from the storylines and a nother key feature is gone and u dont see the titantrons on entrances and yet they didnt make any other wrestling games compatible just no mercy with severe limitations wcw nwo revenge dont work permanetly needs video plugin which there wont ever be wcw nitro suffers the same fait so does wrestlemania2000 wcw backstage assault wcw mayhem severe sound emulation problems and very slow wcw nwo world tour not supported ecw revolution works so does wwf attitude and so does warzone but the past three are identical and shit there should be there games working so in fact when you look at list alone there compability is in my eyes less than %50 of wrestling games what about soccer games boxing games american football games there is more games i can mention that dont work than ones that do work so if u feel like you want to correspond to my comments do so and tell me if nemu is better because what ive heard nemu64 is better but more complex

Enable "Copy DList" in the Framebuffer Section of your Video Plugin (Configure->Advanced->Framebuffer Emulation). I don't like the current framebuffer emulation, because it makes the fps decrease rapidly (on my system :()...

That's a known issue. You need to set the frame buffer to Copy Buffers or DLists to get it right.

A point to Smiff too: Megaman64's black walls can be solved by enabling Force Normal Blending. Stuff tends to get transparent, but it's apparently better than the alternative. Just remember to disable it outside dungeons or it will have a negative effect.

I hope nobody else has posted this, I looked through the other 10 pages but couldn't see it.

hrm whats that? can you give me some idea whats meant to be going on there?

[Lutomes]

OK, the green trail coming from the guy in the cape is meant to be a single object. And also the black ring around the player is supposed to be white. The attack I used then was the level 1 wind cutter. As well as this the fireball attack doesn't draw properly, it just shows 4 red dots.

Sorry I cant help much more, its hard to describe what its supposed to look like.
