Old news equal BAD JEWS.

How come the walls aren't distorted in the before image?

>>4342810
Because you don't understand how an affine transform causes distortion in the first place.

Here's what games actually look like with PGXP on.

Fuck off with your historical revisionism.

PS1 graphics are wicked and warped, and all the more beautiful for it.

>>4342815
Yeah, that's why I'm asking. How come the walls work but the floor doesn't?

>>4342786
Am I the only one who can't see the difference in the videos? Shit looks identical.

>>4343525
how so

>>4342786
Of course it's going to be apparent on a side by side comparison, but if all you really want to do is play you won't really mind.

>>4342880
This isn't revisionism, retard.
It's offering a way to paly the game without the warping, if you so choose to.
Revisionism would be trying to say that said warping wasn't happening, and no one is saying that's what's happening.

How about you fuck off and read a god damned book and actually learn what the words you're typing mean?

>>4344073
not him, but you're a moron

>>4342820
oh look, it's that shitty Excalibur game.

>>4343525
>the only
No. The texture warping isn't very noticeable in those games, especially the second one since the backgrounds are static, and most textures in GT are low contrast.

What is noticeable in the GT video though is the other improvement that PGXP brings: rendering polygon vertices in their proper location instead of clipping their position to the original PS1 resolution. Polygons are much more stable with PGXP on.

>>4342820
yeah this is all i get too. i see videos of mgs working but when i boot it up with pgxp its always just blurry and shitty with loads of hud errors all over.

>>4344080
which actually has a pc port, making pgxp pointless.

>>4344073

>>4342880
Place your bets people, how long until some mouthbreather says that warping textures are better and 'how the developers intended"?

>>4342810
>>4342885
Here is a picture explaining it. You can probably find more detailed videos online.

>>4344184
warping textures are just as developers intended

playstation is 3D

>>4344230
this

>>4344197
Intended my ass, psx z buffer just sucks

>>4344357
Not really

>>4342880

>>4342786
I don't give a shit about warped textures. psx still has the comfiest 3d graphics among the 5th gen consoles.

>>4344581
hold on mate, how could you possibly have overheard the autist screeching that the playstation, in fact, does not have 3D at all

I can never seem to make this piece of shit work, either the emulator fails to recognize pete plugin, or when it does controls don't work in-game anymore, or it frame skips like crazy.

>>4345550

Serves you right.

Heretics....

>>4345557
What the fuck are you even talking about.

>>4345564

Texture warping is the only true way. All else is the false light of vidya satan leading the faithful flock of /vr/ astray.

>>4345557

here is how to emulate. its an easy to follow rule.

if the game is 2d then you emulate as accurate as possible. no filters other than a good crt or something if you want. your preference but no bilinear shit. or cartoon crap.

if the game is 3d then you just make the game look as good as it is able to. 2d doesnt age as poorly as 3d and that is a fact. especially early 3d like the playstation. just because we suffered through it does not mean it is the best way to play the game. you wouldnt play a modern pc game on lowest graphics settings if you had the option and you shouldnt do that with an old gem instead. if you want nostalgia go play it on your playstation. if you want to enjoy the game in its absolute best condition then use an emulator and upscale and fix whatever you can about its appearance to make it look better. 60 fps hacks widescreen, only real reason to stop is at custom hd packs where the author clearly has no regard for keeping perfectly accurate to the textures he is replacing.

Use mednafen HW in Retroarch. Turn on PGXP features.

Use these bios:

>>4346623
which bios in particular this looks like its just half of your whole retroarch folder

>>4348560

It doesn't matter. You can just use all of them.

>>4346623
This requires vulkan, right? It kept crashing for me, and I think it's because my laptop's igpu doesn't support it.

Imagine this game in PGXP.

>>4342880
Thing is no one noticed or gave a shit back then, even when brought up, one guy found like 1 article from like 97 where the it was talked about. I

>>4348760
Think you gotta use openGL

>>4346249

100% heretical.

>>4342786
>le glitchy barely compatible pgxp meme
You have to go back.

>>4346623
Just play the PC version of RE3 you autismos, it has higher res backgrounds anyway.
