Trying to understand something. I'm talking about Dolphin, but it applies elsewhere.

Editing save files normally requires hex editing (unless someone has made an editor; but I assume those are built on similar concepts, just with a fancy GUI).

If Dolphin is emulating the entire system, and is reading and writing these save files, you would think editing them would be trivial.

But okay, maybe it's the games themselves doing the saving, maybe they're encrypted, etc. Then what about save states? Why aren't they in some kind of human readable format? What exactly is in a save state file? They can remember even more than memory cards, like _exactly_ everything the way you left it.

He's reimplemented software depth buffer rendering. It has limitations, but it's actually way, way faster because rendering the depth buffer on the CPU is much faster than copying the depth buffer from VRAM to RAM 30-60 times per second. I assume Pokemon Snap will be working pretty soon.

Bear in mind these are best case scenario results. I'm using async framebuffer copies which are slightly less accurate (for example, games tend to hide HUD elements on the one frame where they make a FB copy for pause menus, meaning that async copies take the frame BEFORE that one, meaning it can have HUD elements on it. Quake II is a good example.)

However, getting over 200% better framerates in Perfect Dark's high resolution mode in certain scenes is a nice boost. Software Depth Buffer should have been added a long time ago.

I am pretty sure Microsoft's massive anting up of UWP apps is for the same reason: they want to be able to do a 'kill switch' for regular Win32 programs too so that only UWP apps can become the norm.

Maybe they will leave a 'allow Win32 program' button in for the enterprise edition and leave it at that.

high res is worth the effort. HLE is way faster than LLE too.

Which game is that exactly? Tekken 3 and a bunch of other fighting games actually output 480i.

But if that's the case I don't get how it manages to work with my GL code since I haven't implemented any explicit support for that.

>>145456697

This is so common that I'm not even sure it qualifies as a "shortcut" anymore.

The vast majority of games are double buffered and output around ~240 lines.

The horizontal resolution will then depend on how much VRAM the game can spare and whether or not they can keep the framerate decent with the amount of stuff they have to draw on the screen.

In MGS for instance you can see that they're pretty tight as far as VRAM usage goes so the framebuffer ends up in a pretty low resolution. Performance might also have been a concern.

Games like Spyro or Crash Bandicoot actually manage to use 512pixel wide framebuffers (effectively eating half of the VRAM just for the framebuffers).

>>145457553

It's super simple to implement with analog signals, when you change the horizontal resolution you just change the sampling rate of the DAC, basically. The TV wouldn't even know something changed.

For vertical resolutions you don't have that much flexibility however, it's 240p or 480i (288p/576i for PAL). If you wanted other vertical resolutions you'd have to use black bars.

It's his own code to begin with. He wrote a new method for handling depth buffer emulation in GLideN64, and it has some issues with speed. (PCs suck at doing heaps of copies from VRAM to RAM.) So by going back to software depth buffer and improving it, he can have the best of both worlds.

What per-game bugs? Avoiding game-specific solutions wherever possible was one of GLideN64's design goals. That's why it emulates Pilot Wings correctly. That's why the old combiner system was scrapped and a new universal system put in place.

There's still a ton of per-game hacks.

HLE video plugins are a waste of time. It was maybe relevant in the early '00s, with new graphics hardware it's nothing but an embarrassing relic that should be allowed to die. There's still a shitton of crappy per-game hacks in Gliden64 that will never go away.

It was a waste of money for $10K. Maister will do it right. Sucks for all the N64 lamedev emukiddies that want to hype up this gonetz as some kind of 'expert'.

Reminder: gonetz did not know what a VBO was until 10 days ago and he asked for tutorials on how to do it. I don't think it can be over-emphasized just how embarrassing that is. Calling him a 'hack' is letting him off easy.

Software rendering plugins are also a waste of time.
>Reminder: gonetz did not know what a VBO was until 10 days ago and he asked for tutorials on how to do it. I don't think it can be over-emphasized just how embarrassing that is.
He may have inconsistent skills, but he's done a better job than anyone else to date. The man knows enough to fix Pilotwings, for example. Even Angrylion didn't know what was wrong with Pilotwings. His use of OpenGL tends to be less than great, but he does get the job done.

>>145458854
>Gonetz did not write shit from Glide64.
He wrote the software depth buffer emulation for the plugin. This has been discussed before, some time back. Some time ago, someone suggested that he cut and paste Angrylion's for a software depth buffer. But he chose to cut and paste Glide64's software depth buffer emulation for the simple reason that he wrote it, therefore there cannot be any potential ownership complications. Glide64's software depth buffer is actually remarkably accurate. It's good enough for Pokemon Snap, for example. As soon as GLideN64's version is debugged and cleaned up, Snap should work fine.

>>145459016

> Software rendering plugins are also a waste of time.

Async compute is not software rendered, and it requires modern hardware and graphics APIs. Gliden64 can never scale as reliably as something like an async compute implementation of Angrylion will. It will always forever have lots of game specific bugs, and overall it is not really much of an advancement.

If he can't fix the z64 triangle functions then ultimately it will forever be bugged. Good luck also with reversing Rogue Squadron/Last Legion LX/Indy and all those other games which don't run reliably and are too slow with those RDP LLE codepaths anyway. You'll be going at this forever and having nothing to show for it, meanwhile RDP LLE would run it from day one.

>Gliden64 can never scale as reliably as something like an async compute implementation of Angrylion will.
The async compute implementation of Angrylion's will never run at above native resolution. That right there is a presentation deal breaker for the masses.

z64gl's current fork is very, very fast. It's just buggy. Part of GLideN64's problem is that Gonetz refused to look at batched rendering because it would break his more accurate N64 depth emulation techniques. So GLideN64's LLE mode has basically no optimisation.

You are full of shit. It is responsible for 95% of all the issues you see right now, from Turok to Killer Instinct Gold to GoldenEye and back. Stop lying that it's simply a case of 'don't care'.

>Good luck getting it to work on Android.

Vulkan already runs on RetroArch Android. No 'good luck required', and it already runs on the hardware that supports it. Might not be a lot of devices but then again we are not in it for the money like you guys are, so amount of installed base is of no significance.

"z64gl's current fork is very, very fast. It's just buggy.

No shit it's buggy, you guys are using stone-age GL that looks like it belongs in 1999 rather than 2016. The amount of amateurism at all corners is just breathtaking.

>>145460453
Why would Gonetz know what a VBO is? I thought his expertise was framebuffer emulation and general N64 hardware shit? Back in the early days, everything was Glide. Did Glide even support vertex buffers? I don't think it did.

>>145460651

Top kek.

Honestly, this is so bad you could get sacked from any modern software company where you pretend like your main skillset is 'GL'. Not knowing how to setup a VBO is like not knowing what a shader or a polygon is. It's like a kid in 8th grade not knowing basic multiplication and addition.

The thing is, I have some save files made with RetroArch 1.0.0.2 and 1.2. I can load them just fine when playing alone on 1.3.4.
But when trying to play online with a friend, it's using some other file, that isn't even on my system at all. Even when deleting the supposed save file, it's still loading its own save.
Does anyone know what's going on or should I report that on Github?

Honestly, I'd rather use "stone-age GL" for better portability. What is the point of doing a hardware renderer that requires new hardware and can only run native resolution? A new computer is powerful enough to not need a hardware renderer for most N64 games, so it kind of defeats the purpose.

If you read the source, you should be able to know the structure of the save state format. For one, I assume the save states are compressed.

>why is GLideN64 the second most accurate N64 video plugin in existence
I feel that GLideN64 has a lot of work to do. Not sure if I'd call it the 2nd most accurate plugin. Hard to really measure though. If you're really convinced that GLideN64 is the 2nd most accurate plugin, you ought to try to convince zilmar to invest in that instead of Glide64.

https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro/issues/331

Shouldn't libretro ports be faithful to their upstream namesakes? This problem is a result of them messing around with the mupen64plus code. Code changes like that should be committed upstream, libretro should be a way to "plug in" to emulators like mupen64plus, not an opportunity to create Frankenstein versions.

If they are going to do that they should at least rename this port so people don't assume they are actually getting mupen64plus

>>145483929

you need "frankenstein" versions when the original emulator is shit, as mupen64plus is.

>>145484096
A proper open source project contributes back to upstream. When it diverges this far from upstream it becomes almost impossible to incorporate improvements from upstream into this project. Look at the GlideN64 code in this port, it is way behind (and very different than) the upstream code. And that plugin is the best graphics plugin for mobile devices, no matter what twinaphex believes.

Also, a good open source project doesn't have endless commits that just say "updates" and "cleanups", but that is another issue...

>>145484162

it is not way behind, it is gliden64 that is going through the same unified rendering pipeline as the other graphics plugins are going through.

Mupen64 libretro is going to go for something different so that it at least has a chance in hell of competing with Pj64. If you want to be irrelevant and pathetically behind, make your own upstream-compatible version of mupen64plus for libretro, we have long since decided that the best direction to take for this core is to go completely our own way since mupen64plus devs are not getting the job done, and that is putting it very diplomatically....

>>145484162
mupen64plus team is a bunch of maintainers who dont have a clue what theyre doing and they made the mistake of alienating me to the point where i dont even feel like contributing back anymore.

Regarding the 'frankenstein' state of mupen64, there is no way around it, N64 and PSX emulation in the standalone emulators is not good enough to really be satisfactory without a mass amount of edits, and since the upstream authors either are not conducive to working together with or they create huge irrational stances that precludes any kind of improvements (like 'I want authenticity' instead of enhancements), 'frankenstein' forks like this are pretty much a requirement.

Plus, they are not the end-all-be-all on emulation anyway, and in mupen64plus' case they did not write 99,99% of that entire codebase anyway, it was a one-man show ran by Hacktarux until he left and a bunch of maintainer dudes took over the project and didn't honestly get much done for years. That is not some end-all-be-all 'upstream dude' I should be intentionally limiting progression for.

I'm going to give you a very special newsflash. The EBOOT.pbp format that the PSP uses contains track information. Shocking, I know, but this is the world we live in

>and every single fucking disc-based console has no issues with iso.
Except for the Dreamcast. And the Saturn. And the PSX. And the PC-Engine. But whatever.

>The cancerous preservation scene has made this an issue because bin/cue is convenient for burning cds and that is the ONLY reason. Fuck that. Nobody playing games is doing that now.
.bin/.cue isn't convenient for burning CD's. ISO is convenient for burning CD's. Compressed .mds/.mdf is convenient for burning CD's. What point are you even trying to make anymore????

>>145496652

you are an insufferable faggot for defending the bin/cue bullshit that plagues the system
fuck you.

>>145494971
>They are converted easily into a single file for psp consumption
That's because a .pbp contains everything in one file including track infos that's why you can easily extract them to .bin/.cue unlike .iso, an, beetle has .pbp support anyways so if your autism precludes you from having dumps in several files you can always use that.

> and every single fucking disc-based console has no issues with iso.

You say that like nobody ever had proiblems with PS1 emulation due to bad disc images.

>I have tons of ps1 isos and they work fine.
Any single track game will work fine for obvious reasons so that's more than half the library out of the way, so yeah plenty of games work fine with .iso doesn't mean everything does.

>>145498913
>I have tons of ps1 isos and they work fine.
Please, convert Rayman, Tomb Raider, or Pepsiman to an ISO and tell me exactly how well they're running

i think this has become about the ISO format
It's not really about that, though iso can handle multitrack images. It has been done. I don't know the specific difficulties in converting multitrack ps1 disc images to this format are, but nevertheless
it's about having a single container for a disc image. The current paradigm is absolutely ridiculous. Even a close-sourced proprietary format is more desirable

I bet you chucklefucks advocating for the usage of .ISO's for PSX dumps also advocated headerless NES ROMs

>>145500645
No, isofriends and headerfags are generally one in the same. I know because I am both ;)

>>145501026
Mappers. There's a bunch of them, and every game uses one.

>>145500498
Then why not just use .pbp, the conversion process is easy enough and it does not have any drawback if it's supported properly, I'm not sure but I think it even support having multi CD games in one file.

Or what >>145500971 says.

>>145501026
Because the header has mapper information and that's not something you can do without, SNES doesn't really because that info is only really useful for cart copying

>>145501026
NES ROMs require headers because they have mapper information, kinda like how PSX games require .cue sheets because they have track data. It's not an objective stance. They are REQUIRED. Even before Nintendo bent and started using iNES headers, they had to do obscure, roundabout ways to emulate their NES games.

SNES ROM's do not require headers. A SNES header is just a little bit of text added to the front of a ROM that says it was coppied by some shitty Chinese ROM dumper. They are not required. That is it. The end.

byuu's stance? He fucking hates SNES headers and wants them completely removed from existence. He also advocates for iNES headers.

It does, and it's also compressed. Legend of Dragoon goes from 4 discs @ ~2.6GB, to one file @ 1.1GB.

Go jack off onto a blu-ray please. It should be sufficiently locked down enough for your tastes.

It's how the cart is mapped out/what hardware is on the cart. It's something that's emulated, not part of the ROM.

>>145497652
holy fuck anon thank you for the .pbp tip.

>Thinking .pbp is a Sony format
Holy shit, how retarded are you?

>>145501359

OK, perhaps rephrase the question a bit: are the absolute necessity of headers in NES ROMs dictated by a limitation of the NES hardware? A limitation the SNES does not possess? Because the vibe I'm getting is that SNES ROMs don't require headers at all....

Why?

>>145501869

Alright, then who developed it? Because I'm pretty sure PBP originated on the Playstation Portable.

>>145501972
NES HEADERS ARE ADDED IN AFTER THE FACT BECAUSE OF THE MAPPERS. GAMES WILL NOT RUN WITHOUT THE MAPPERS. THEY LITERALLY MAP OUT WHERE WHAT HARDWARE IS WHERE INSIDE THE CART.

SNES HEADERS ARE SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THEY ARE JUST A FEW BITS OF DATA THAT SAY "THIS ROM WAS COPIED FROM A SUPER MAGICOM COPIER" OR SOME SHIT. THEY DO NOT MATTER AT ALL. IN THE SLIGHTEST. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. EVER

EVER

FUCKING READ

>>145502139

Yer fuckin' ill, m8.

>>145501972
I think you can figure out what Co-processor a SNES game uses without needing a header - or if you can't, there's only a few of them so not a big deal to have an internal database of games.
With NES games every game has a mapper, and there's no way to tell what game uses what mapper unless you either have a header to tell you, or a database with every single game (which would also need to be updated with every translation and ROMhack).

>>145502126
who fucking cares who developed pbp?
you can take them apart and assemble them easily with opensource tools. That's all that matters.

>>145502139

>If you're really convinced that GLideN64 is the 2nd most accurate plugin, you ought to try to convince zilmar to invest in that instead of Glide64.
I'm pretty sure Zilmar donated to GLideN64. And the only thing stopping it being adopted as PJ64's official plugin is compatibility issues and maybe performance, but performance is dramatically improving. Gonetz is looking into how to rewrite the plugin from Compatibility profile to Core profile, as mentioned earlier by an anon.

>>145503458
>I'm pretty sure Zilmar donated to GLideN64.
Yup, he donated 500$. Yet people call zilmar greedy Smh..

>And the only thing stopping it being adopted as PJ64's official plugin is compatibility issues and maybe performance, but performance is dramatically improving.
Atm, zilmar is more interested in fixing up Glide64 than GLideN64. Somebody needs to fix the compatibility issues with GLideN64, so that more devs can work together instead of doing their own thing. I'm sure others devs would also join in and possibly make good contributions, if GLideN64 were to shape up. So I guess someone should really try to convince Gonetz to fix problems that are preventing important devs from wanting to collaborate.

I'm keeping an eye on PC-em mainline as a potential DOSBOX killer. DOSBOX devs a shit!

>>145508317

one last question, on games with combination moves, like street fighter ii, is it just normal that moves like 'hadoken' is somewhat more difficult to execute? I'm using the exact same motion l always used on the console but it only works about 1/4 the time. does it have to be done faster? slower? more precisely? yes using a usb SNES controller (which actually seems well built for the price).

>>145508731
As someone who actually plays fighting games:

I've never fucked up a Hadoken motion on a SNES controller in my life, but I specifically recall the SNES versions of Street Fighter being super fucking finicky about quarter circle motions.

Hell, it took me 20 minutes once to get X to do the Hadoken in Mega Man X on the SNES, and I have about a 2% success rate of throwing them out, yet I never miss a single one playing the PS2 collection.

Quality post.

>>145508516
Downloading a premade Pepsiman image and booting it up on my PSP only to be welcomed by no sound was the last time I bothered touching that shit handheld. Every system I tried loading up on there ran at horrible speeds and/or with abysmal accuracy. Those fucking mouthbreathers endlessly praising it as the best handheld emulation system are the worst shit-eaters you can find.

Their kind has started flocking to the 3DS lately, getting all excited over some retard trying to port over desmume. Good luck getting that unoptimized piece of shit working on their severely underpowered handheld which has native fucking DS backwards compatibility.

>>145513848
You sound weirdly upset.

It's just a game console. Sure, they're not ideal emulation platforms- but they're adequate for a good few systems.

>>145513848
Isn't Pepsiman a PS1 game? The PS1 emulator was coded by Sony themselves. Sounds like there's something wrong with your PSP. Maybe you need to use an older version of POPS?

You can't be serious. This is what I'm talking about. There's no reason it'd work on your device and not mine, it's the same fucking hardware. Can you imagine a hardware defect that'd manifest only as some PS1 game not having sound?

My point isn't that you can't get Pepsiman working with sound, I'm sure it's possible, but these spastic fucks are passing around broken converts without anyone caring because they're shit-eaters getting to eat what they like best.

And it's not like the emulator has perfect accuracy or compatibility, it was written for the PSP's garbage MIPS CPU and there are limits to what technical miracles can be accomplished.

>>145515727

There's a widescreen hack, apparently.

>>145520375
i would recommend playing it in it's OAR which is 4:3, which is the aspect ratio and the picture composition that was intended. everything else is half a handjob, even if it pleases your eyes.

BizHawk doesnt seem to like my c++ 2015 installation and thus won't operate. I just want a simple, good emulator with scanlines!

I actually really like everything about Higan, is there any way to use filters with it?

I just tried to emulate Spartan Total Warrior in PCSX2 and while it runs, it's at silky smooth 15-60 FPS depending on how much the screen is rendering. I blame this on the fact that I don't have a graphics card, but is actually my processor too weak to handle PS2 games?

If so, what are some low demanding PS2 games?
