I doubt if anyone will mind. Maybe with the new thread will come some more/new news. :thumbsup: Well if not, the plugin is still kicking butt anyways. Keep up the hard work Dave.

OK, you want news? Taken from the official Glide64 message board at emuxhaven.net (http://www.emuxhaven.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi)

Posted by Dave2001
I still have 3 things I want to have fixed on the plugin before the next release: fog, large textures, and environment mapping.

Give me 1-3 weeks to finish these up & then a week to do the compatibility list, and then hopefully it'll be released.

And before anyone asks, that was posted June 14 :)

and of course to add combine modes in newly supported games (for you non beta testers/staff people out there), and missing combine modes in currently supported games.

plus dave might be putting in a texture cache look up, which would speed the plugin up even more on parts with a lot of visual stuff i think. everything looks basically the same, except dave has fog in, but it doesn't look correct right now. he now knows how fog works, he just needs to get the values right to even out how thick or thin the fog is in certain games (e.g mario 64 its too thin, zelda 64 its to heavy). than he doesn't know the distances, thats where ogy, and i (sort of). to tell him where the fog starts. ogy has a cd64 and a digital camera, all i have is a digital camera, to show dave what the fog is suppose to look like. but i think it was cpumaster who said the action replay (and even gameshark) can take pics of the game and you can load them on your computer which is even better than taking a pic from the tv with your digicam.

I can make fuly de-interlaced screenshots directly off my N64 using Svideo. That's the best you can do without directly copying the framebuffer.

Gameshark can take a shot of the framebuffer, but I dont know how you would load it on the computer.

Gilde Driver with SOURCE location (http://www.ve3d.com/koolsmoky/) There is also a nice tweaker for your 3dFX hardware. The Glide Driver source though will help with textures and some of the more difficult things on the chipsets. It's the source for a glide driver for winXP

I've finally fixed the large texture problem. Look here for screenshots:

:bunny: So happy!! :bunny:

About 90% of the games with this problem have been fixed. The other part should be coming soon. (I've handled it in texrects but not yet triangles)

Glide64 finally suports Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Alt-Del & other such things. :) This is only for PJ64 though, because 1964 doesn't accept my keyboard hook. :(

Also, there is now a message that shows on the window saying "Gfx cannot be drawn in windowed mode, press alt+enter to switch to fullscreen"

you guys are going to just die when you see the new plugin...

The plugin's compability has increased like i don't know what to say!
All large textures should have been fixed, and fog is looking OK now.
Soon there's release-time! :D

Drools........

Great work everyone, is it me, or has N64 Emulation getting exciting again recently? - What with all the progress on Daves plugin, Icepir8s plugin, StrmnNrmns plugin etc + with the great strides various people are making towards emulating previously unemulatable games (Banjo Tooie) the future has never looked so bright.

I bring good news.

I have submitted the final beta to Ogy so he can make the compatability list. As soon as he is done with this, it will be ready for release. :) :) :)

btw, Ogy estimates that it will take him two weeks to finish.

Trust me, the evoodoo beta team & McLeod Worked hard as much as the Voodoo beta testers to get it working correctly... :)

yeh sorry i didnt mean it to come out like that. i almost complete forgot to thank mcleod and evoodoo team. most of the issues hav gone, u just need to play mario kart to see that. well done.

/me hands evoodoo team beers all round.

The only problems I have noticed all seem to be quite consistent with each other (and thus I am thinking I should remove all registry settings and uninstall the emulators and plugins).

My problems for example:

Knockout Kings (looks magnificent) though every time I finish a fight the screen partly minimizes and then freezes - I can only close the rom and start again.

Mario Kart - at the start of the race the same thing happens, the screen minimizes slightly and locks

This happens with U(!) version of both roms, having said that I'm pretty certain this is a problem with my system.

Anyways, other feedback:

The image quality for this plugin is quite simply superb - everything looks just right (Mario Party 3 looks sublime for example).

It is indeed an very good piece of work. :) As the latest eVoodoo is.
A lot of thanks to Dave, Gonetz, Gugaman, Ogy for the ini, McLeod and Cpu MasteR. (did I forget someone?)

I don't have any problem with Mario kart u! so far.

Dave: Is the grBufferClear the problem with eVoodoo users and the newest Glide64? And have the creators of eVoodoo been informed about the bug?

"Game: Zelda no BK no SoTE no..."

Off-topic but what are BK and SoTE?

BK = Banjo Kazooie
SoTE = Shadows of The Empire

This problem is solved in the new beta version... evoodoo users should be happy. But there are still some random crashes in some games...

Nice, nice, especially F-Zero and DK Racing.
One q: the messed up /missing textures in Zelda OOT are due to my Banshee being crap, right? Any chance of a remedy to this? Like sequential multitexturing or something LOL I mean apart from that it's plenty more beautiful than UHLE. If not, nevermind :)
