UltraHLE 2064 1.0.3 misc. reports

[DeadRabbit]

SculleatR : What if I had to do so for every post?

And if only peeps could check & read the intall options

Was the install options bit in reference to me ?

If it was I'll have another look at them

Answers to some of your questions:

Glide3x Error->take glide64 out of folder and error stops
Glide2x Error->take uhle_video plugin out of folder and error stops

of course you wont be able to use these plugins anymore but then again, you werent using them in the first place if you dont have glide2x and 3x dlls (except the ogl uhle plug)

games list bug while game is playing

Hi,
great to see that UltraHLE is being developed again

I don't know if this has been reported already but here it goes:

when playing most of games, if I press UP / DOWN arrow keys, I can see the games list moving in the background, as if I am scrolling the games, when not playing. This does not show all the time, since it appears to stop after a while.

This also happens when in full screen.

it seems that the games list(main window's keys and hot-keys) is not being locked when you load a game.

My specs:
Pentium III 500MHz with 128 MB RAM
Windows 98SE (DirectX 9.0a)
GeForce 2 MX-400 64MB
1024x768 32bpp

Emu config:
Graphic: Jabo DirectD 7 (v1.40)
Sound: ulhe Audio Plugin ("internal audio plugin" checked)

PS.: this bug happens with all graphic plugins I tried (not a specific plugin bug)


Also a small suggestion:
- would it be possible to add a feature to load a game from the command line ?
like:
ultrahle.exe "c:\n64\games\mario 64.zip"

I'm asking this because I created a multi videogames frontend called "EmuCon" and would like to add UltraHLE 2064 on the compatible videogames list

regards.

Dominator: no save states? Have you exactly followed the process detailed in the docs?

I've forget to read the help doc. Sorry Dominator, but look that, I think it is a bug!

UltraHLE 2064 saved states standard.

[This feature allows you to save a game whenever you want. To do so, just press ESC or select Menu->Emulation->Pause. Then select Menu->File->Save States. Chose a name for your saved states and save it. It is recommended that you do not add any space in your saved states ("ZeldaScene1" is ok, "Zelda Scene I" is not).] from here, the emulation automatically resumes without I press f5 or esc key (odd thing!) then I going in Menu->Emulation->Pause but at moment I click it the screen flickers I'm trying againg and the screen flicker againg, then if I:


1) press [x] button of window to close the emulator, its stop, but the sound of my game continues playing in background. I'm try to run emulator again and then the computer hang up!
2) go to Menu->Emulation->start, the emulator freezes for few seconds and so the following messages I got: (some words in portuguese-brazilian, sorry)

then other windows appears:

again if I try to load the emulator again, its hang up my system!!

I dunno what is this, maybe the version of my "msvcr70.dll" is old (7.00.9064.0) size is 300k. or exist a bug in my display card drive version: detonator driver 41.09 of my Geforce 2 mx 200

I hope this help you to find the bugs and smash them, good luck Dominator!!

Bugs and comments

Hi, here are some of my impressions and bug founds in UHLE 2064 1.0.3 release :

- The Glide3x.dll alert at every start up is annoying, an the way to "fix" it seems silly
- When openning the cheat box and clicking activate while nothing is open in the emulator, there is a serious system violation, and the application is terminated (position: 0xC0000005), it may be a C programmation error like a variable trying to be affected while it point to nothing.
- The new packaging stuff really looks ugly: the file makes 1.29MB when it makes 728KB zipped.
So zip it back for the next release or use a better installer like, the .msi format, or Nullsoft Install System (used for winamp and lot's of apps) that is free, looks very nice, and is very compact.

If all that fixed, it will start to be a very nice emulator, we must reconize that the emulator still has bugs and need some improvements on that side before we can say that the objectives have been completed (what did PJ64 for example).

About compatibility and speed improvements, you get all my respect lain:

Suggestion

Hi Dominator,
as a fix for the bug I mentioned here, about the games list appearing when you are playing a game (mostly by hitting UP/DOWN arrow keys), you could easily fix this by creating a new window for the emulation, and leave the games list as is.

That way you would not need to use the games list window (the main window) to show the emulation, but a totally new window, created at run-time (when starting emulation), and when you close the emulation, this new window should be destroyed.
The bug will disappear completelly.

What do you think ?
Keep up the excellent work on the emulator.

1) I dont think its silly to download glide3x to use a glide dll
2) I'll look into it, thanks
3) I kinda agree on the installer, we'll see what we can do.

sort rom listing

the rom listing is not a change. only of the roms order is already set.

esc key

Your probably aware of this but holding down the escape key does weird things to along with the flickering of menu items when running some games
