whoa!

Nice screenshot Orkin, nice one :n64:

 

[Trotterwatch]

Perfect speed, even idle 36%? Very impressive.

Orkin, a small question but I know your main improvements are targetted at the Radeon 9700 series of cards, but would the Radeon 8500 also be likely to see improvements?

Stop... tempting... me...

I dunno about the framebuffer stuff, but he mentioned once that the combiners should work on 8500+ cards.

 

[Clements]

Even my GeForce MX works with the fast frame buffer. It's very fast. I should imagine most cards will benefit greatly from it. It is also at a high resolution too, as the screenshots show.

 

[Orkin]

The Khan Artist is right, the new combiner should work just as well with a Radeon 8500 as a Radeon 9800. I wrote the new non-GeForce combiner pretty video card inspecific; it'll detect whatever capabilities the card supports and use it.

The framebuffer emulation doesn't require any extensions, so in theory it should work with any card that supports OpenGL. Although it will probably work best on a card with at least 64MB of VRAM because the framebuffer textures take up a good amount of memory.

In the future I might make the framebuffer emulation use the pixel buffers and non-power-of-two extensions, but I'll still leave the old mode as well.

Well the pics look great! And by the sound of it, the plugin really has come a long way. We are in for a sure treat once it comes out me thinks.

 

[blight]

Oh ya, as you know, blight's trying to port it maybe this will be easier to port later when it works
This is amazing, though! Framebuffer support is great!

i already ported it you know

orkin: will you keep your plugin open source?

[DarkInferno]

Just wondering if the 0.4 is gonna have a brightness control? Just because some games look darker than others.

thx

I'm new to theese forums ;-)

this plugin looks awesome, looks like its the first good looking plugin that works with Radeons... I am hoping it works with my radeon 9700 ;D

One thing i'd like to see in a n64 gpu is like petes plugin for PSX, a frame limiter that you can specify, eg running at 70 fps instead of 60 just makes it that much nicer to play. Just a wish ;-)


keep up the great work!!!!!

That's not a very good idea. The emu do have options to set either 50 or 60 fps. Except if you select the wrong setting, the sound would be out of sync, and a bunch of things would go wrong. I'm guessing that's why there's no such option yet.

I agree with what you are saying, but I must say this cause it may be my only chance....

"YOU DON'T KNOW JACK!"

"that's right, that's right, we bad, un-huh"


just one of those moods I guess. :w00t:

I got that from mario kart 64 (U) [!] during the first circut... while switching to the next level... that farm level.. I had the hardware buffer textures option on everything else was defualt... using 1964 the latest version

omg very good job on this plugin orkin! I was playing smash bros on nemu 64 and the game is emulated with about 98.9 accuracy! everything from the 2d sprites showing up properly to the "feel" of the game is like the way it would play on tv! (thats the best way I could describe it)
