/emugen/ - Emulation General

First for DRM'd emulators

>>146067443
Piracy loses out when the effort required is too much. Its why piracy of closed systems is very low or virtually non existent. I don't see a lot of people pirating iOS and PS4 software, do you?

To the cockroach BSD fag in here talking about his 'trade secrets', 'illegal piracy' and all this bullshit:

""Can't keep your trade secrets secret"

Oh you mean those 'trade secrets' you violated in the first place by making this emulator in the first place, with your oh-so-clean-room-reversing?

You are quite the hypocrite.

"can't include closed source DRM to protect your software from illegal piracy."

You do realize the software in this case has as its sole purpose 'illegal piracy', right?

I see another narcissistic piece of shit trying to defend his scumbaggery and thinking that just because Nintendo/Sony hasn't sued his ass yet, that what he is doing is 'legal'.

There are many reasons why emulators should remain non-commercial, one of them is that you don't want to invite the wrath of the powers that be in this industry to invite a closer look at your emulators and how 'legal' it actually is. I will tell you upfront you won't survive a thorough audit/examination at all, companies aren't stupid and they can spot an IDA dump/verilog-to-C dump from a mile away. Stop acting stupid and coy."

>To the cockroach BSD fag in here talking about his 'trade secrets', 'illegal piracy' and all this bullshit:

Reverse engineering is usually fair game. Please educate yourself.

>You do realize the software in this case has as its sole purpose 'illegal piracy', right?
Haven't companies used emulators to sell games they own the right to? I seem to remember someone using a commercially licensed version of an emulator to sell a game on Steam or something. That seems like a perfectly reasonable use to me.

>you don't want to invite the wrath of the powers that be in this industry to invite a closer look at your emulators and how 'legal' it actually is
Clean room emulators are legal. Creating software to mimic hardware is legal. Using roms you don't own is not in most places. I don't know who you think I am but I've never written an emulator or anything else using 'dirty' information.

>>146068369

They own the rights to those games, you don't.

You are a pathetic loser in your basement that thinks he is entitled money over intellectual copyright theft, they are a legit company with actual licenses and intellectual property rights.

I know narcissism is all the rage these days, but honestly, humble emudev, it is not working for you. When Paypal can shut your 'donation efforts' down at the drop of a hat and you have no recourse, you really are not all that' legit' yet. Better humble yourself up and stop pretending you have suddenly become an 'entrepreneur' lording over a new viable business model when it ain't. If it were, Apple Store, Blackberry World, Paypal and others would all be 'humoring' you like Google would right now, and they don't.

And yet a purely non-commercial GPL-only emulator wouldn't let them use the emulator for selling the game(s) they own. I don't see what the point of your argument here is at all.

>Better humble yourself up and stop pretending you have suddenly become an 'entrepreneur' lording over a new viable business model when it ain't
People who have created emulators and have a platform to sell them are doing pretty well. I don't see anything wrong with the epsxse or drastic devs. At the end of the day, whether or not piracy falls into the equation depends on if the people using the emulator don't own the roms in the first place. I agree no one manually dumps roms but I'm sure a lot of the people who grab an emulator to play some pokemon or something do so mostly because they owned the games when they were younger and want a kick of nostalgia. Nothing wrong with that.

There are also lots of other spaces where people don't get involved because of the GPL and its viral cancer. I'd pay someone like $10-20 for a good RetroArch gui for example. I think RA's internals are great but from a user experience pov its fucking trash.

Way more people would try something like that if RA was BSD or permissively licensed instead and that would add genuine value.

>>146068525
Your arguments are self defeating. If emulators are only used to facilitate piracy they shouldn't exist at all, noncommercial license or not.

>>146069000
>I agree no one manually dumps roms but I'm sure a lot of the people who grab an emulator to play some pokemon or something do so mostly because they owned the games when they were younger and want a kick of nostalgia. Nothing wrong with that.

Yes there is, it's called piracy and the epsxe / drastic dev is profiteering from it.

Look at the terms of service of Paypal/Google/Apple/any service. This is specifically outlawed. Just because you haven't been caught yet does not mean you are currently operating in the right. You definitely are not 'legal', you are employing a loophole.

>>146069102

Nope, mods that are done with no profit motive are usually allowed by game companies.As soon as you try to profit off it, things become different and companies are within their full right to shut you down to protect their IP. It has happened to several mods that thought they were getting too 'smart' for their own shoes.

It has been the same for emulation.

You honestly don't get how things work in the real world and your narcissism and greed prevents you from doing just that.

>>146069169
Haven't court cases on PSX emulation specifically ruled that hardware emulation is not piracy, only distributing the software/games is?

>>146069000
>There are also lots of other spaces where people don't get involved because of the GPL and its viral cancer. I'd pay someone like $10-20 for a good RetroArch gui for example. I think RA's internals are great but from a user experience pov its fucking trash.
>Way more people would try something like that if RA was BSD or permissively licensed instead and that would add genuine value.

And that is exactly why RetroArch will never become 'permissively licensed', they do not want some scumbag taking RA, making some '2kool4school' tripe around it, put it behind a paywall and then sell it and lock up the changes.

You seem to think everybody is a sucker.

That was a silly argument that would never have existed in the first place had the guy(s) who started it researched the topic for 2 minutes.

>>146069351

Those court cases were a sideshow attraction, they didn't prove shit.

And the end result was still that bleem was bankrupted and VGS was bought by Sony. Get over it by now, you are not going to win this argument because the thing you routinely hold up did not set any precedents.

As ever in a piracy haven composed of mostly thieves, people try to skew the facts to fit their narrative. You say there was a victory for legitimicacy won there, enough people repeat it, that then becomes 'accepted fact', when in fact it isn't.

The same with this argument that 'emulation is completely legal' yet 99% of the emulators out there are two hairs away from incorporating official Nintendo/SGI/some other big conglomerate-copyrighted sourcecode. These 'myths' are about as convincing as 'you can download the game and legally play it if you remove it within 24 hours'.

>>they do not want some scumbag taking RA, making some '2kool4school' tripe around it, put it behind a paywall and then sell it and lock up the changes.

Because you don't contribute source back in the process and you erect a paywall around it.

> It adds utility and improves a piece of software.

That is not enough. Source must be contributed back or else we are back to square one. Others put in most of the hard work, you did some chump change stuff and you think you are entitled to make money off it AND not give anything back. No, it doesn't work that way for GPL-licensed software. Fuck off. If you want that, stick to BSD/MIT/whatever.

>>146070073
>Because you don't contribute source back in the process and you erect a paywall around it.
I (theoretically) don't contribute source back because I want to be paid for my effort, not because I have a problem with making my source available

>you did some chump change stuff
Sure and I want the chump change. Alternatively if you feel its useless, don't pay for it or pirate it

>No, it doesn't work that way for GPL-licensed software. Fuck off. If you want that, stick to BSD/MIT/whatever.
Yeah thats the crux of the argument. The GPL is cancer.

It's happy cancer then since it keeps useless garbage people like you out that would otherwise want to abuse said software and fork it off and give nothing back in return.

In fact, you just airing these thoughts ensured that RetroArch will never, ever become BSD/MIT. Because if this is the mentality that comes with BSD heads, then fuck you all, I will side willingly with the 'cancer' instead then. At least cancer is viral and contagious and has a way of erasing you.

CRT Geom, Hyllian and Lottes at or below 1080p, Royale above 1080p. Downsampling is placebo and just messes with integer scaling. Don't bother with downsampled Royale.

You can also combine most of them for various effects. For instance, CRT Lottes has the best bloom, and you can use this with any of the other CRT shaders by having Lottes as an earlier shader pass and by setting hardScan to -4 and shadowMask to 0.

>>146070431

"Sure and I want the chump change. Alternatively if you feel its useless, don't pay for it or pirate it"

Except you don't get the right to engage in your scumbaggery ways with the GPL and not contribute anything back, which is why we use it. We know there are always going to be nefarious pieces of shit out there in society that would willingly try to ruin any good idea just to be a contrarian, GPL is a good balance against that kind of scumbaggery.

> Alternatively if you feel its useless, don't pay for it or pirate it

Ah, but previously you alluded you wanted the BSD license so you could add some DRM around it so we could not 'pirate it' anymore, so this is basically as convincing a cop-out argument as 'don't like it? don't watch it'. It doesn't work that way, little boy, sorry that you don't get to steal candy from a store and then you don't get a blank check by the candy owner to sell the candy off as your own with nothing being provided back in return. Back to school like the good little boy you are where you can learn somethign about morals and ethics.

>>146070605

There was no legal precedent set. That was the part where you were talking out of your ass, that was the 'myth'.

Not even the GPL has been successfully defended in court, most of the cases have been settled out of court with huge settlement fees going to the FSF. That does not magically validate your license, and niether was any kind of thing 'won' for emulation in general. You are pulling facts out of your ass.

>>146074452

First you say its useless then you say you want the contrib back. If its useless, why would you care? It seems like your underlying problem is you don't want people to use RA in any capacity to make money.

>>146074726
>Ah, but previously you alluded you wanted the BSD license so you could add some DRM around it so we could not 'pirate it' anymore, so this is basically as convincing a cop-out argument as 'don't like it?

You're confused. The only thing I alluded to was value adds like a good GUI for RetroArch. I'm not the one advocating for DRM, but if someone wants to add that then so be it. I doubt anyone adding DRM to an open source permissively licensed code base would get very far, unless what they added outside of the DRM had significant value, in which case more power to them.

>It doesn't work that way, little boy, sorry that you don't get to steal candy from a store and then you don't get a blank check by the candy owner to sell the candy off as your own with nothing being provided back in return

>>146075587
>It seems like your underlying problem is you don't want people to use RA in any capacity to make money.

Except the GPL would allow somebody the ability to do that. HOWEVER, what it doesn't give you is the right to have your cake and eat it too. When you distribute binaries of your modded RA then, you have to provide your changes back. That is only fair, and anybody who wants to argue against that basic principle, should not be taken seriously and should be laughed out of the room so you know your place again in society (nowhere).

Don't ask me to be a useful sucker for your insincere motives. I have to say, you are being a terrible spokesperson for BSD/MIT right now if by 'permissive' you mean 'being able to package up other people's shit and not give them anything back in return', otherwise you'd have no issue with the GPL as-is. I have the feeling you are a corporate shill that probably is licking every executive's ass in the hopes they will ever make you anything more than a middle manager. Sucks to be you son.

Sup OP. The phone actually has a dead display and I would still be using it if it was ok. Clip + PS3 controller + short USB + spare batteries + smartphone is pretty comfy. It'd be nice if there was a high performance phone with a 1080p display, OnePlus comes to mind. On that note, do recent SoCs fare well with stuff like PPSSPP?

Control sticking was only with a certain version of classic controller.

Savestates crashing was a SNES9X issue when compiling with -O3, the savestate functions in that emulator are prone to breaking with compiler optimizations.

Arcade cores are RAM intensive so some games can't load because they're too big to fit in Wii RAM. That's why FBAlpha cores with only Neo Geo and only CPS2/CPS3 exist.

There are old ATI cards that can output 15kHz s-video or something.

You could also just get something with VGA and output to a CRT monitor with black frame insertion or that one shader that fakes 240p output pretty well.

Disinfo anon is that you?

There are definitely ATI cards that do 15KHz output, some not even that old (CRT_emudriver supports HD7000 series now).

240p does indeed work on PC CRTs at 120Hz, though the output is more like a pro monitor than a standard TV.

Shit, when will ps3 only titles be emulatable?

>>146096250

CRT Shaders have what looks like issues of nearest neighbor upscaling with 3D. Cloud looks so weird in the background there. I swear this wasn't an issue with real CRTs. Was I just not able to see it? Are the shaders just not able to replicate the native res look?

Wouldn't they emulate exactly the same as multi-platform titles? I don't understand why you would make the distinction.

>>146094961
>>146095121
In no particular order:

VGA to a CRT TV with black frame insertion doesn't do a goddamn thing that's beneficial. BFI is used on 120hz monitors to get CRT like motion. If you tried to use it on a CRT TV that outputs 60hz, your game is going to run at half the speed while the screen turns completely black every second frame.

>240p does indeed work on PC CRTs at 120Hz, though the output is more like a pro monitor than a standard TV.
Cool, doesn't stop the fact that the anon was asking about CRT TVs where BFI doesn't matter

S-Video ports on old ATI cards (and every card ever) output 800 x 600 compressed to a 480i signal. If you are okay with this, you might actually be blind, because it will look worse than real hardware in every single situation. The SNES doesn't render 800 x 600 compressed to 480i. It renders 512x224 output to 240p. The NES doesn't render 800 x 600 compressed to 480i. It renders 512x240 output to 240p

That "one shader that fakes 240p output" fakes 240p for VGA CRT PC monitors. You know, the CRTs that display a 31khz signal? Is that the one you meant? The one that's not beneficial to someone specifically requesting help with a CRT TV?

Now, I'll admit I mis-read "There are old ATI cards that can output 15kHz s-video or something" thinking that you wrote "There are old ATI cards that can output 240p s-video or something.", but that doesn't change the fact that the S-Video port is worthless to anybody who has eyeballs. It's a major downgrade from a Wii that natively does 240p.

If you want to output 240p from a PC to a CRT TV, you need extra hardware that'll convert a 31khz VGA signal to a usable 15khz signal. There is no way around this.

Come here for more details about connecting a PC to a CRT TV and why that S-Video port on old ATI cards doesn't matter:

>>146097303
I'm not much into emulation community, so I don't actually know how it works.
But given the fact that some PS2 games simply can't be emulated, I think that the efforts should be focused on ps3 exclusives rather than the multi-plataform ones.

>>146097223
It looks like that because there's 2 composite passes as well as 2x native res affecting the model. Vanilla Hyllian should have the look you're thinking of.

You're all being gay as fuck about devs making money, and I fully understand the consequences and ramifications of the concept of paid emulators.
It's like those that flat out refuse to use/discuss Cemu because it's closed source and accepts donations, while ignoring that we get the same build one week later.
Plus Cemu is clearly closed source for a reason.

>>146105056

What would that reason be?

>>146080468
Is this satire? Why do autismal people hate devs that profit from their work? Payware has never stopped the open source "community" from working hard.

While nobody can prove anything, just know that cemu is advancing faster than UltraHLE did.

>>146105680

You know I understand that there's a difference in point of view here but I'm really annoyed at this "why don't you want devs making" strawman.

You make a videogame, office app or whatever and you want to keep it closed source and sell it? Go on, why would I stop you.

Now you create an emulator a videogame console that's still being produced, very likely using other people's work to create it (and possibly illegally obtained docs) and then you decide to turn a profit from this. That's just scummy behaviour. That's like selling video game cracks or day0 vulnerabilities. Sure they require significant work to make, doesn't mean it's ethical to profit from them. If I write a bootleg Spotify client that removes the add and sell subscriptions to it for $1 a month I'm just being scummy. There's no difference here.

Now you can say that you don't care, I'm sure plenty of people don't care about that, but please stop saying that there's nothing ethically bad about it.

Personally I care because I write emulators and I don't really want to be put in the same bag as this cunt (and all the other cunts who do this).

>>146106943

remove the ads*

>>146106943
Nah I understand, entirely, I also disagree with selling software created with stolen docs. Not so much on a moral level, but of course I understand it's low.
However, if Cemu wasn't using leaked documentation, it'd still be emulating an existing product (are you a mame dev? just kidding), is that still an issue?

As for other developers such as yourself, I think everyone that matters can see the difference between a freelance emudev and a dev that charges 5 bucks on an app store.

>>146106776
>While nobody can prove anything
That's only true if no one else has access to these "docs". If one person outside of the CEMU team has the docs, then it's possible to analyze CEMU's code and verify. It sounds silly to claim that CEMU dev used stolen docs, if there's no proof that these docs even exist.

>just know that cemu is advancing faster than UltraHLE did.

>>146106943
>Personally I care because I write emulators and I don't really want to be put in the same bag as this cunt (and all the other cunts who do this).
That's a silly reason to care.

>Now you create an emulator a videogame console that's still being produced, very likely using other people's work to create it (and possibly illegally obtained docs) and then you decide to turn a profit from this. That's just scummy behaviour.
Going by that logic, then it's scummy to release an emulator at all, for a console that's still being produced. Tbh senpai, I think making money off of donations is not the same as selling a product.

>>146107871
>I think making money off of donations is not the same as selling a product.
I know legally speaking it's quite similar, but I agree, except that cemu restricts downloads to donors, which is essentially using the donation system as a method of payment for a product.

>>146107374

>it'd still be emulating an existing product (are you a mame dev? just kidding), is that still an issue?

Yeah, IMO it is. You're clearly profiting from piracy and harming the original vendor. It's basically counterfeiting.

It's not proper competition either because Nintendo actually has to produce and market the console and games while you just leech onto that.

At least if you're doing it open source you can show that you're not doing anything illegal and that you're not directly profiting from it (like Citra does for instance). That's still a bit borderline but it doesn't bother me too much, especially since the 3DS already has got a long life and made Nintendo plenty of dough and Citra is not really close to be a general purpose 3DS emulator.

>>146107871

>Tbh senpai, I think making money off of donations is not the same as selling a product.

It shouldn't be, but the fact that they give early builds to donators sounds a lot like buying a subscription to a product instead of donating money for the sake of it. I wouldn't have any issue with the guy for receiving money for reverse-engineering the console and publishing his results (either as docs or source code). But that's not what is happening here. Didn't he even add some kind of DRM to those builds?

He's probably clever to do that too, when your main audience is people pirating games it must be hard to sell an emulator, donationware might be a better way to monetize it. People might not be ready to pay $20 for an emulator but they might be willing to setup a $1/month "donation" to get the builds early.

Isn't it just that donors get builds 1 week early? Not saying I agree with it, but rather that it doesn't bother me that much. The only part that bothers me is the fact the he apparently uses DRM.

>>146108553
>Didn't he even add some kind of DRM to those builds?
Apparently so, which is basically the one thing I really have against them at this point. Ezcap did offer to give advice to the decaf devs, which I think is at least something nice.

>I wouldn't have any issue with the guy for receiving money for reverse-engineering the console and publishing his results (either as docs or source code).
I agree with your view. While I personally don't care too much about source code, I think the person should at least share something in return (other than the binary). Maybe someone should ask the CEMU dev(s) if they plan on releasing any documentation.

>>146109341
>Why is the e World so good?
Because what other company digs up ancient source code for SNES games, enhances them tenfold, THEN adds in bonus content? It's all about minimizing the effort from devs now.

>>146109623

Eh, yeah, we're in the era of "HD remasters", where people re-release their games 3 years later with slightly increased resolution and sell them almost at full price.

>>146109954
People didn't even enjoy it with the proper controls, what hope do you think you have?

>>146110472

I think it's mainly because it's so easy to do these days. If you wanted to port a game from the PS1 to the PS2 (or N64 to GameCube or whatever) that required some actual work to do.

Now you basically change the target in your IDE and hit the build button. Super cheap to make I'm sure.

>>146109954
I don't think you can do that anymore.

>>146110582
>People didn't even enjoy it with the proper controls, what hope do you think you have?
I played it on a real Wii and thought the controls were fine. I saw the complains, I could relate to some, but most of the complaints I read were just outright wrong, or nitpicking for the sake of having more bad things to say because it's Zelda, and people love to shit on Zelda.

Then, I saw the Game Grumps play the Zelda game in Nintendoland. All Jon and Arin did was scream about "WHY COULDN'T SKYWARD SWORD CONTROL LIKE THIS???" and "IF SKYWARD SWORD PLAYED LIKE THIS, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT ZELDA GAME".

Skyward Sword and the Nintendoland Zelda game control exactly the same when it comes to sword play.

I'm absolutely convinced at this point that the only people who claim that they didn't like Skyward Sword because of the controls played it for a grand total of five minutes, and that's IF they played it at all. There's like a million reasons to hate Skyward Sword. The controls wasn't one of them.

I actually went out and found a rare-ish non-TR(because -TR just did not work then) wiimotion+ wiimote when Squidward Sword launched and played it pirated with Dolphin (even though I have a softmodded Wii), and it was pretty good.

>>146110991
I wasn't shitting on the controls, I'm saying actual Wii owners just say it's a bad game even if controls aren't an issue - then after that consideration, MAKING the controls an additional issue in emulation wouldn't do it any favors.

>>146110991
>I'm absolutely convinced at this point that the only people who claim that they didn't like Skyward Sword because of the controls played it for a grand total of five minutes
That's literally how long I played so you're pretty spot on, but the motion plus had me pissed before even starting because apparently I held the controller wrong boot and couldn't even navigate the menus before rebooting the system.

On the other hand I don't generally go around hating on SS online when I've barely even touched it, there are better ways to spend an evening.

Madman trying RetroArch on a shitty old 1.33 GHz G4 iBook here. This thing's the fucking pits. My DS3 will not respond to inputs even though RetroArch apparently picks it up (works fine on my Macbook Pro), and it barely does not manage to run the Snes9x core full speed. Snes9x-Next runs better, but it refuses to run at full speed in either exclusive or windowed fullscreen, even though it runs just fine in windowed mode. Might have something to do with the fact that according to RA, the screen apparently runs at 60.234 Hz, which is weird as hell. Nestopia runs well in both fullscreen and windowed, which is nice.

Specs-wise, expect for your laptop iBook G4 to be somewhere inbetween a Gamecube and a Wii in terms of performance. Blitting will be much slower than on Gamecube/Wii so that factors into the performance.

>So, what is the best N64 emulator?
PJ64 is the best all-around, but it really depends on what you care about.

>Is PJ64 still ridden with malware?
If you get an outdated version from the website, yes. If you get the latest version from github or emucr, it has no malware.

>>146141573
Why would you trust emucr?

>>146141190

Suck my ass, faggot.

>>146141762
>Why would you trust emucr?
I've never had a problem with emucr, other than the fact that it didn't update PJ64's fork of m64p's HLE RSP. So Body Harvest still sounded awful. I have to appreciate the fact that PJ64 is constantly improving. Any code they touch, just keeps getting better!

Why shouldn't I trust emucr?

I'm thinking of making a raspberry pi emulation machine, but I have no idea if it'd be worth it. I really want to be able to hook it up to my Trinitron and be able to use a PS3 controller, would that be possible? If I bought an HDMI to composite would there be issues with resolution on the thing? I mostly want to play PS1 games on it.

which shader?

>>146152774
Try them all out and see which you like best that also blends the dithering decently.

>>146151995
>>146152097
Depends on the game, but generally scaling the pattern and using 2x res is the best of both worlds,

>>146152774
Set native res to 2x and have dithering scale with it, then go to load shader preset, navigate to the dithering folder and choose cbod_v1, return to the main menu, add a third pass and put CRT Hyllian 3D with linear filter and "don't care" scaling.

Same deal for native, just that you can replace Hyllian 3D with something better, such as Lottes.

Mupen64plus is the best one with project64 1.6 for some games that work better with it and 1964 for fringe cases like banjo tooie.

Is there a way, for something like Bluestacks or other Androud emulators, where I can just have infinite money, so I can fuck around in P2W games and shit?

What does emugen use for controllers on their smartphones?
I've been playing SNES, GBA, and a few PSone games on my phone lately but touch controls are ass for most games.
Even SMRPG was a stretch.

I've been looking at getting a phonejoy, I've used one of those moga faux-clamshell ones nd they feel flimsy as fuck on larger phones like mine.

How bad is an i5 4460 with integrated graphics (HD 4600) for emulation? I won't bother with gamecube or PS2 obviously, but what about anything else?

>>146159496
I can't speak for your 4460, but my 4670k's on board actually runs some full-on games just fine, and I think the integrated is a step below the one on yours.
That being said, it'll probably emulate whatever you need it to up to PS2/Wii. I wouldnt be surprised if it could handle some gamecube titles as well, truth be told.

>>146158386
/emugen/ doesn't use smartphones for emulation. Chad, you may leave.

>>146160217
aight cool

I just need to get rid of a GPU and for a good while I won't be having anything to replace it.

>>146158386
I'd say touch controls, but only since I play slow RPGs that don't require precise input.

Only gripe is it's hard to know what I'm "pressing".

>>146160342
I've been there, friend. Had to use my on-board for a while because GPUs cost money, little did I realise that desktop on boards aren't half bad anymore.

>>146160362
Yeah, that's the issue. I can only play pokemon romhacks on my phone for so long, and even with those, having no haptic feedback feels so wrong.

>>146154215
you could also downscale 2nd or 3rd pass and the use a normal crt hyllian in 3rd or 4th pass... because hyllian 3d sucks and looks ugly!

when will mednafen psx resolution upscaling come to the libretro ppa? when approximately and how do they decide when it is stable?

>>146160747
How would you do that? I've seen it mentioned a bunch of times here.

>>146161517
The downscaling shaders are under "Windowed" and the you have to add in the pass absolute values for example
>scale_type_x0 = "absolute"
>scale_x0 = "320"
>scale_type_y0 = "absolute"
>scale_y0 = "240"

>>146161517
for nearest neighbour or bilinear downscaling you can use the stock.cg with either linear set to true or false.

>>146161775
>>146161838
These settings with linear and mipmap_input set to true did the trick, thanks. No luck on nearest neighbor with major downscaling artifacts, though. Doesn't really seem to make a difference either way. If it works, it works.

The remaining z-fighting jitter seems to have gone away with this method. Much appreciated.

Banding makes undithered 16bpp unbearable here. Other games fare better, Vagrant Story plays pretty well without dithering (except in scenes where you see the sky, the banding is too obvious then).

I'm glad I could help. The windowed filters, like lanczos produce a very sharp picture, lanczos4 is considered one of the best downscaling algorithms. But even this can cause problems with certain fonts...for example pokemon stadium 2 lhrough angrylion (which outputs always to 640x480) downscaled with lanczos4 (with linear to off), the font looks really fucked up, and so it does with most downscaling algorithms. Here actually bilinear ALMOST does the job, but produces a very very blurry output.

There's practically no good reason to ever use 1.6, other than simply testing...

I notice that some roms have (world) as part of the title rather than Japan, USA, Europe, etc. This means it's a region free rom, yes?

Now I just need to figure out why the framerate is bonkers.

>>146155045

Familiar enough to work on some compatibility issues remaining with the software renderer in your spare time. I don't expect you'd be able to fix all the ones remaining (some would require significant code refactoring, if I understand rightly), or even most considering every remaining one is supposed to be a bitch to implement a fix for.

But perhaps one or two? In your spare time? Ryphecha's following her Saturn muse, and I don't want to kanye her by popping in and saying "YO RYPHECHA, I'M HAPPY FO' YOU AND ALL, AND IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT YO' PSX EMU BE TRIPPIN!".

>>146173867
No, they still probably had region locking, it just means they used the exact same rom image for each region.

Also, I know at least the Genesis could detect region to change the language.

>>146177336

My plate is quite full at the moment, and something tells me that if Ryphecha didn't bother to fix those issues she must've had her reasons.

I feel like I'm pretty close to make a big step in rustation's compatibility so I'm trying to do that. Once I get there I'll try to rearchitecture the GL renderer (and by association beetle's) to make it more accurate and better performing. I think I'm going to take a lot of inspiration from PPSSPP's GL code, it looks pretty well designed and seems to deal with many of the same issues we have on the PSX.
