New ROM_Properties.ini
Hello everyone. I have updated Duncan's January 09, 2004 updated INI with most of the changes in the official 1964 INI update thread into a new INI.
I also plan on testing the ROMs I have for plugin compatibility. I'd like some help from other users to test as well. When Duncan did his first round of testing, he assumed Jabo's D3D6 1.5 plugin would be best, and recommended Rice's only if it was better. I would like to make it so that comments are included next to Playable! if either Jabo's or Rice's plugin is better than the other, because Rice's plugin now rivals Jabo's. In other words, if it says Playable! next to a game, the game should be playable approximately the same with either Jabo's or Rice's plugin.
So, if you want to test for plugin compatibility, please make sure you are using DirectX on Rice's (and of course with Jabo's), make sure you are using the latest version of Rice's plugin and using Jabo's Direct3D6 1.5.1 plugin. Also please use default settings for both plugins, and no texture filters. I am not interested in performance, but rather accuracy of the emulation. For example, Rice's plugin does not display selection menus for either Harvest Moon 64 or Dual Heroes. But Jabo's does. Conversely, Jabo's plugin has transparency problems on Beetle Adventure Racing! while Rice's displays them correctly.
Also, please continue posting general INI improvements with settings and naming, especially if it makes the game *playable* as opposed to not. Again, performance is not really an issue, so do not post CF changes if they ONLY improve performance.

well, i may get back into it sometime, just not now. i was excited when there were so many advancements in the scene, and i had to stay on my toes to keep my list up to date. but after awhile, only a few great plugins like glide64 were still being worked on, and Rice decided to shut down his plugin. I was sad, very sad. But this isn't my topic, it's bitcopy's, so everyone support this man!
