Some good news, and some bad news. The good news is that Rice has released a new version of his excellent plugin, the bad news is that he's decided to take a long break from the project (a well deserved one though). Here's Rice's release notes:

<font class=post_quote>What's new:

- Software vertex clipper problem fixes.
- OpenGL fragment program extension (Pixel shader in OpenGL)
- An optional Z coordinate hack for the near plane clipping problems in some games without using near plane vertex clipping

OpenGL finally gets to similar degree as DirectX. It is actually faster on my PC because I don't have to use software vertex clipper with it. OpenGL will do the vertex clipping. It still does not support frame buffer effects yet.

But, in order to use the new OpenGL pixel shader feature, you need to good video card to support OpenGL ARB_Fragment_Program extension. Radeon 9500 and better from ATI, and FX 5200 and better from Nvida will do it.

I have no plan to support frame buffer effects in OpenGL, and I will take a long break from this project after this release.</font>

Let Rice know what you think about the plugin in <a href=http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=25534>this thread</a>. Thanks for your efforts put into this project Rice, we hope to see more releases from you in the future. :)

EDIT: 6.0.0c was released (bugfix)
