Specs: Windows XP MCE, Athlon XP 2500+, 512 RAM, Voodoo 3 3000 PCI (I use Glide64 of course.)
Ok, this might be a noob question, but we all squeeze one out once in a while. Is it just me, or are emulated textures somewhat less quality than the real thing? I specifically mean 2D textures, for example menus and title screens. I notice this most while playing Zelda, because the icons are about half of their original resolution. I remember N64 textures being very nice and smooth... not Mr Ugly at all. (A rather large example) I guess all I really want to know is this: are ugly textures normal? I find it hard to believe that they are... it's probably the fault of my ancient Voodoo 3, although I couldn't think of why.
Another few problems I'd like to know if they're common: the Ocarina of Time item menu. When I press Start, it takes like 5 seconds to open... while the Majora's Mask menu opens great. On the other hand, when I try to look at "invisible" objects with the Lens of Truth in MM, the screen goes white, and sound/graphics slow to a crawl.
So tell me o' gurus, what's up?
