Honestly the accurate version isn't that much better, we're just used to N64's blurriness. It's mostly the weird tiling on the grass that stands out I think.

I admit that the blurriness is not too bad in this case, mainly because it's supposed to be dirt and trees and whatnot, they're not supposed to look very sharp anyway.

That being said I still prefer nearest for the water texture, those square thingies in the water and generally for anything that has reasonable-resolution texture.

Unfortunately games on the N64 liked to stretch textures over kilometers and I guess that for those blurry mess is generally better than blocky mess, especially for "natural" settings.

>>145163326

Moders tend to use hi-res textures with low-poly 3D models. That always looks super odd to me. Take pic related for instance.

>>145163631

I don't think I'm the only person in the world who thinks that bilinear filter over low-res textures is worse than nearest a lot of the time.

Are shaders still broken in retroarch?

Question: Does the N64 output 240p over s-video / RGB or can it only output 480i?

I'm asking because angrylion in retroarch outputs 640x480. Is it like in the real console or is it because the plugin just needs the higher resolution to work and process correctly?

If it is the later, what method do you prefer to emulate a 240p output with the n64's VI filtering through shaders?

a) the image attached: scale the image down with lanczos4 to 240p and then apply a crt hyllian shader

b) image in post below: apply hyllian-3d shader for 480p games directly (sadly this image has phosphor on unlike image a) because I had to use a glsl shader and couldnt configure it, cg shaders via xmb are broken in retroarch 1.3.4, I apply cg shaders via cfg files) so the comparison is not optimal, sorry for that.

or c) use angrylion without the vi filter or any other plugin like glide64 and create the vi filter via a shader in retroarch?

>Shaders written for RetroArch's non-Vulkan rendering drivers, such as Cg and GLSL shaders, do not work with RetroArch's Vulkan driver. There is a draft of RetroArch's new shader specification written up by Themaister (original SSNES/RetroArch dev, and also the main RetroArch Vulkan driver dev) here:

>Just like ".cg"/".glsl" and ".cgp"/".glslp", ".slang" files are individual shader passes and ".slangp" files are shader presets which can be loaded to add and configure any number of passes. These files are currently usable in RetroArch with Vulkan.

>Question: Does the N64 output 240p over s-video / RGB or can it only output 480i?
99% of N64 games output a 640x240p signal, while a very, very limited amount of games output 640x480i with the expansion pak. The N64 does not actually render the games in these resolutions though. The RDP just scales them to 640x240p or 640x480i for video output.

AngryLion's outputs 640x480, but renders the games in their native rendering resolutions. This does not matter on the 31khz display that is your monitor. This does not matter on the 31khz display that a VGA CRT monitor has. It would only matter on a 15khz CRT TV.

Speaking of, the VI filter is actually the reason why the N64 looks like shit if you hook it up to any TV that isn't a CRT. I have no idea why you want to invoke that upon yourself for a game that isn't Star Fox 64.

>>145170590
Get good.

>>145175723
I want to simulate the original hardware and not enhance it or remove any of its features. Accept that.
I am invoking this upon myself because mupen64 or the angrylion plugin output a 640x480 signal and not 320x240. This breaks most 240p shaders thus you have of the methods mentioned above or another. If you want to output via Retroarch to CRT you have scale it down before as well.

>>145174954
that's not true, or more so it depends on what you mean.
In nightly, yes you are correct.
In stable, cg shaders are broken for most users via menu, possibly a xmb only problem, so you have to add the shaders manually via cgp and cfg.

>>145200242
Creating combined presets is pretty easy

1. Increment "shaders" by the number of shader passes you want to add.
2. Add desired shader pass(es) as shader0 (shader1,shader2,shader3, etc..), with desired scaling options. If the shader has a preset, you can copypaste this information.
3. Add the desired CRT shader passes if they're not already there.
4. Increment the CRT shader passes by the number of shaders you added, where shader0 is now shader1 if adding one shader. Do the same for any of the options (filter_linear0 becomes filter_linear1).

If you use relative paths for the shaders, they are relative to the location of the preset. So if you place the preset in the root of shaders_cg, the path for gba-color.cg is "handheld/shaders/color/gba-color.cg"

Someone probably could write a bash script or something to do this

What version of OpenGL does Dolphin use?

A couple of things I noticed with the latest MAME core in RetroArch. Its soooooo ungodly slow compared to standalone. Like something is critically wrong with it. Standalone is almost intolerably slow as it is but this is insane.

Using the keyboard in the MAME ui just doesn't work. RetroArch thinks you are trying to use hotkeys. Any way to disable this?

The other issue is the default settings make the MAME UI look incredibly blurry. If I use a shader its unbearably worse.

Any way to fix any of this?

>>145188138
Someone should really create an external GUI for editing shader presets. If you need a dithering pass in whatever shader, you'll have to manually insert it in the text file itself, which takes a shit load of renumbering.

GBA games look infinitely better with the recent GBA shaders, but better still with a dithering pass. Why do people omit this from their presets?

This is what the default settings look like when a game is loaded with RetroArch. The rest of the MAME UI looks essentially the same.

Ingame looks fine though but when the UI is blurry you cant change any options unless you use the very limited core option.

>>145218262
Is MAME even any less of a nightmare to use in RA than standalone?

>>145218428
So far MAME is an absolute travesty to use in RetroArch.

Yeah you use out of the RA bells and whistes but so far its actually usable.

>>145218045
And of course standalone is working pretty much as expected. Slower than one would like but it works. Granted I have all my ROMs on a NAS but loading a couple MB file shouldn't take as long as it does. Slow loading is much better problem than the problems RetroArch has with MAME right now.

Sounds like SP half assed ANOTHER core.

>>145218045
That didn't happen before. That's probably some recent change to MAME's UI that caused it.

>>145222249
>Using the keyboard in the MAME ui just doesn't work. RetroArch thinks you are trying to use hotkeys. Any way to disable this?

Map the "Enable Hotkeys" to something, hotkeys will now require that to be pressed.

>>145222891
No, fuck off.

>>145216482
Just use MAME 2014, it works fine. Newer versions fucked everything up

>>145224117
Rather than maintaining two sets of ROMs I'd rather just use standalone. Not exactly what I want but its functional with less hassle. The overall feel of RA + MAME is clunky and ill fitting.

Either RA needs to change how it handles MAME (I'd prefer to just select the core then bring up the MAME UI without needing to select a game) or MAME needs a serious overhaul and be striped down to be better fitting in the way RA handles cores and roms.

>>145224117
MAME 0.170 also works fine. MAMEdev started making huge changes after that.

>Rather than maintaining two sets of ROMs I'd rather just use standalone.

MAME-libretro doesn't force MAME's retarded ROM versioning down your throat. Any ROM will work with it as long as it has all the file needed. I'm still using ROMs from 0.149 set from 2013.

> (I'd prefer to just select the core then bring up the MAME UI without needing to select a game)

There's a core option to make it do that.

I'm still using MAME 0.170 core and everything works fine. MAME 2014 works fine as well. Standalone can suck a dick because it doesn't have CRT-Royale.

>>145224786

With dithering. No artifacts. I never owned a GBA and don't know if the actual hardware had these artifacts or not. Regardless, they can be removed in emulation.

>>145225456
To be honest, a real GBA looked like that, so blending the dithering would be inaccurate. On most systems, dithering is visible with RGB output since blending it would require blurrier output. The only dithering I try to blend is SNES psuedo hires trancluscency since the real hardware outputted a RGB signal that would always blend those patterns.

>>145225696
I'm not a technical guy, but I do know that the lack of a dithering pass causes artifacts on many platforms. And hello, Mr.Passive-aggressive. The pleasure is all mine.

>>145220468
But SP did not create that core, someone else did it.

Actually, I don't think he started any of the MAME cores, although he's done some stuff on all of them.

MAME-2000/iMAME4ALL was started by ToadKing
MAME-2003/MAME 0.78 was started by Meancoot
MAME-2010/MAME 0.139 was started by r-type
MAME-2013/MAME 0.149 was started by r-type and followed latest MAME updates over time.

Even if he did start the port, he usually stops working on it after a while to move on something else, so usually someone else comes in and adds a bunch of core options or something, like what's happening to MAME-2003. He generally only sticks around for cores that interest him like Mupen64plus or Beetle-PSX.

I'm not sure what's going on here, looks like you made the GBP border render at 480p while rendering the GB screen at 240p.

>>145224487
>MAME needs a serious overhaul and be striped down to be better fitting in the way RA handles cores and roms.

Highly stripped down single driver cores might be something worth looking into. Most likely would require hacking up MAME a lot though.

If CPS2/CPS3 and Neo Geo emulation are your only interest, there's already Final Burn Alpha cores that are more or less like that.

>>145227541
ACCURACY, BITCH

>>145224924
MAME has decent built in shaders that are close to crt-royale.

>>145227541
I was thinking he just too a screenshot of the border with a crt shader on it and then used that as an overlay

>>145228386
actually it is not accurate as the gb player doubles the resolution of gb games. but i prefer scanlines.

>>145228734
correct. i made my own border.

Actually, I don't understand why MAME statically links all of its drivers in the first place. It bloats the main executable size massively, and requires rebuilding to update a single driver.

They should be dynamically linkable instead, perhaps like this

mame64.exe - Main frontend executable
/drivers/neogeo.dll - Neo Geo driver
/drivers/twin16.dll - Konami Twin 16 driver
...etc

That would make it easier to pick and choose what drivers you wanted to use, instead of being forced to have them all.

>>145230639
That's a great idea. maybe mamedev take it into consideration if it makes it slower.

Considering bilinear filtering was explicitly stated to be John Carmack's original intention after he played several shoddy ports of the first Doom, yes. Yes you are abnormal.

>>145257503

The GBA used the same hardware dithering method as the PSX, which means it could technically handle being scaled up even though in this instance it was being utilized by Nintendo on a portable.

Second, /hbg/ is always sputtering about how you can use OoTHax to downgrade a 10.7 console. If it's a general dedicated to helping those who need help hacking their 3DS's, then they need to be prepared to take on mundane questions, just like how we need to tell at least four people every thread that the reason mednafen isn't working for them isn't because the emulator doesn't work, but because they're mentally retarded and can't read.

I've only heard of the black square problem coming when you install a normal CIA package into NAND instead of SD where it's supposed to be. If you're certain you haven't done that, do you happen to know what program it was that turned into that black box?

There actually per-firmware exploits for OoT? I thought you could just inject an exploited save file for the correct region and be done with it after reading the readme in is repo but I don't know.
https://github.com/yellows8/oot3dhax

The bricks are assigned the darkest entry of the latter. See here on the palette editor:

It comes down to autists pointing to what the standards say, and then saying that we should adhere to them. vs. people who point to what makes the most sense and what tvs actually looked like.

Standard autists just can't get past the idea that standards can be wrong.

Objectivity vs Subjectivity

Display autists just can't get past the idea that their display's NTSC color output can be wrong.

Objectively you should aim for what tvs actually looked like in the 80's, especially in Japan. There's wiggle room, so there's some variation. I don't care what "the standards" say should or should not be the colors. I care about what it was actually like.

Or put it another way, would you rather a nes emulator replicate an actual tv, or to replicate an abstract standard that may or may not have ever even existed?

I thought so. Don't really see what's the point of wasting time manking a speedrun for that. Was there some kind of competition?

Eh, I had the same reaction. I was convinced that the movie was more recent.

Alright I looked through the wiki and did some googling. How do I configure the mayflash gc adapter to work with pj64? I am following one guide, but the input step is not working

lol "only had one critic"

Got nostalgic and decided to emulate the Jak series on my PC since I'm away from my Ps3. How smooth will PS2 games be on a reasonably high-end rig? Never did much more than Nintendo consoles. Also, Why doesn't Naughty Dog bring it back ;_;

don't

The games are buggy on PCSX2, no matter what your PC specs are. I'd wait until you have your PS3 back and play the HD collection.

>>145309160
Absolutely SOL, don't bother just go grab the real console, avoid the VITA and PS3 ports if possible.

Isn't that palette exactly the same as the built-in "Consumer YUV" palette?

Also, I'm not sure how your epic greentext makes any sense here.
