This is what I had been waiting for ever since seeing my DC running on the VGA box, to be able to, some day, see how these amazing games would look in high res with FSAA.
It's finally happened! And a lot sooner than I thought. Some of these games look like prerendered CG art. The poly count on some of these DC models is impressive and severely limited at the native 640x480 DC resolution. The best thing to look at are the Soul Calibur katas, which run full speed at 1024x768 4xFSAA 8xAF for me and look absolutely incredible. Better models than any PC games I've seen barring the Nvidia Dawn and Dusk demos.
Okay here are some minor suggestions for a bugfix release, if it happens:
* Windowed mode should be fixed to 640x480 (or seperate setting), the higher res should only be for fullscreen mode.
* A minimise button and stop Chankast from being always on top (hard to look at walkthroughs, cheats or other windows etc.).
* Default input plugin is buggy (can't assign my gamepad d-pad to the digital d-pad, mapped keyboard keys don't seem to work in some games like Shenmue).
* Save all settings like display stats on/off etc.
* There must be some way to run original GD-ROM isos? Perhaps a plugin will support this, it's impossible to make a self boot out of some of them (protections or size reasons) and thus impossible to make a working Alcohol 120% image either. So I can't play my legal and complete games, which ironically should be the only games which should be played.
Well that's all I have for now, I know that compatibility and graphics glitches aren't going to be easy fixes. The SH4 emulation seems pretty much complete, as very few games crash or don't work, just the PVR2 that has varying degrees of glitchiness.
Well done!
