it could also be that no one has bothered sending in reports on the capabilities of some cards.

This does not mean that 8xxx series do not support it. As I said, don't rely on it too much.

i realise that ziggy, but OGL EXT Viewer has a database which you can use to see which cards support what
Click to expand...

The thing is, that'll also require a miniature DB in ziggy's plugin, to turn on NPOT texture support in cases. The simplest way, which I use in my gltest app for the Glide3x wrapper, is to probe the extension itself, rather than relying on a DB. If needs be, I could add a DB to the app in some future updates, if I feel like. But, the simplest method is just to check to see if the extension is there or not.

Actually you don't want to use a Database in this case at all. The main reason is mostly it's a case of the Driver not per sea the card having support. Well save say the G3 series from Nvidia it doesn't have all the support for things because it's just not in hardware (though you can support it with software emulation).
Point being with extensions and video cards you have to deal with what you have. Otherwise you will be specifying your programs functionality on a DRIVER and not the OpenGL system and that is counter productive. Besides databases are only as good as the information in them, and if it's generated based on anything other than what the driver SAYS it can do, it's prone to error.
Unfortunately some drivers LIE about what they can do. So if you HAVE to use a feature that's one thing, if it's optional, take the course that doesn't hamstring your code to something that may or may not work. IE if the card doesn't support it, and it pretty much can do most everything that's necessary just don't use the feature if it's not there. It's as simple as that.
There are places where a database is useful in a video plugin, that however has nothing to do with the video card really. ;)

Well, ziggy has added a custom override to the plugin for NPOT in cases where the drivers don't advertise fully what the card is capable of, via the GL extensions. I know my new ATI card supports NPOT, its just the drivers lie about it. And its true about the DB's...

Yep, I know all too well your plans...:naughty: I can't wait to implement them....\:D/

Just tried it out. Much quicker. In golden eye however the text appears and then turns to squares. Also the emulator crawls in game and eventually crahses. All test on 1964 x2 4400+.

I get this when trying to compile r12, r15, or r17 on linux

Why does it look in /home/zig/Dev/gl/glui/src/lib/ for libglui.a ?

It's a library I'm actually not using. In the Makefile, comment out

#GLUI_PREFIX = /home/zig/Dev/gl/glui/src
#GLUT_PREFIX = /home/zig/Dev/glui/glut-3.7/
#GLUI_LIBS = $(GLUI_PREFIX)/lib/libglui.a -lglut
##$(GLUT_PREFIX)/lib/glut/libglut.so.3.7 #-lglut
#GLUI_INCS = -I$(GLUI_PREFIX)/include

(i.e. add a # at the beginning of the lines)

You will also need to comment out the FTGL lines

ifneq ("$(WIN32)", "1")
FTGL_PREFIX = /usr/
else
FTGL_PREFIX = /usr/mingw32/usr/
endif
FTGL_INCS = `$(FTGL_PREFIX)bin/freetype-config --cflags` -I$(FTGL_PREFIX)include/FTGL
FTGL_LIBS = -lftgl `$(FTGL_PREFIX)bin/freetype-config --libs`

This library, I'm using it , but only in debug mode.

Thanks for such a fast response, I commented out those lines, but now I get this.

g++ `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs` -o z64.so rdp-mess.o disasm.o main.o -g -rdynamic -lGL -lGLU -lGLEW -L/usr/X11R6/lib   `sdl-config --libs` -lz -shared -Wl,-Bsymbolic

Silly me, okay I installed glew and the plugins were compiled, but I still get this

Is this something I should be concerned about?

I had a play around with the asynchronous RDP emulation and multithreading.

So far, it made quite a good speed boost for me in cases :).
However, in the Legend of Zelda Oot, I experience the following graphical error on my ATI Radeon X1650 Pro....

But other games are working as usual ? Also, does this error only happen in async mode ?

I haven't tested under windows yet, I cannot really reboot my machine at the moment, it's being used as server for something else. But it works fine under linux. I didn't notice any problem in Goldeneye either.

Not really, some games seem to crash on startup for me, namely Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. And the error only occurs in async mode, the normal mode works fine and looks perfect.

Have you tried several times for games that crash ? Under Linux , I often get a crash on startup, but it's independent of the game. I just need to retry until it finally work.

Yes, I have, for Super Mario 64, I found it was purely RSP related (to audio plugins), not sure on BK.

In Sin and Punishment, dithered alpha rendering is absent:
