What are the settings I need for P.E.Op.S. OpenGL 1.78? When I try to run the ISO I want (a Namco game), it only displays the Namco logo at the beginning and doesn't continue.

[Anonymous No.2615834]

>>2615828
From what I know first hand, GTE accuracy is a feature of PCSX-Reloaded, not a part of the GPU plugin (Pete's OGL, in this case.)

FYI wobbling polygons is game dependent, some games out there were built to avoid this like Wipeout and Crash Bandicoot, you will never find issues in those games. Having said that, wobbling polygons is a case that is worsened as you upscale the resolution. You should be playing on native resolution, and if you are doing that then you might as well play using RetroArch's mednafen core.

It also depends on what GPU he is using. OP is a dumbfuck. If you're a dumbfuck, you should just stick to software emulation. Shaders and filters are overrrated anyway.

[Anonymous No.2616085]

Get away from plugin-based emulation and try something self-contained, like pSXfin or Xebra. Xebra tries to aim for cycle accuracy, so you may want to try it over pSXfin since pSXfin hasn't been updated in ages.

Plugin-based emulators are neither accurate nor worth the hassle of having to tweak plugins on a game-per-game basis.

Uh, why? RA is just a front-end to third-party emulation cores. You may as well be using whatever emulator the core is based on. If it's ePSXe-based, then use ePSXe. There's no need for a middle man, you stupid fuck.

RetroArch generally works better or has more options than most standalones. This is the case with Mednafen PSX since RA gives it some crucial options like the ability to change discs without M3Us and the ability use complex shader effects like CRT Royale, of which is important for native resolution PSX to look good.

No it doesn't. It's just a wrapper to third-party software. It can't magically improve upon an emulator's performance. Additional features are superficial, and not worth the bloat of having a front-end / wrapper tacked on in the first place.

Go shill somewhere else, faggot.

Whatever faggot. You clearly have no clue what you're talking about and are just running your mouth because you're butthurt about it for whatever reason.

P.S. your emulator recommendations fucking suck. There's no fucking reason to use any of those closed source shits in 2015 when Mednafen-PSX is more accurate anyway on top of being open source/cross-platform. It would be best if you stayed out of emulation threads if you are going to make such terrible recommendations.

Hahaha oh wow you're even more of a fucking retard than I thought. Using open source code while abiding by the license is not stealing anything and some devs even support libretro themselves (Nestopia, Genesis-Plus GX, VBAM, Picodrive all support libretro upstream)

Also, all emudevs are "stealing" from each other all the time anyway, under your definition.

Sounds good. Both are disruptive to /vr/. I can understand people calling out the shills, but then they just bait each other back and forth relentlessly.

I don't even understand the logic behind it. If you want people to use your software, throwing a tantrum and being a complete hard-ass when people don't show any interest is probably the least productive way to promote your software to anybody. If nothing else, it's just going to make people steer clear of whatever it is you're trying to advertise.

Are you retarded?

RA generally has to rewrite a part of each emulator to make it compatible with libretro.

Ra also tends to add specific features to specific emulators to improve them.

Some notable examples are medanfen working with multiple dics without having to use a .m3u file and desume having the ability to increase internal resolution on the software renderer.

Neither of these features are found in the standalone version.

I'm willing to bet money you're one of the faggot devs of one of the emulators spreading lies and misinformation because you're butthurt that RA makes you look useless.

No one was advertising it though, and that retard who won't shut the fuck up about supposed "shills" around every corner suddenly started attacking a poster out of nowhere because someone mentioned it offhand. This retard seems to do this in many other emulation threads, so it's pretty likely just someone trolling and he was successful this time.

[Anonymous No.2622076]

You're right, it's the hardware that does. And with software rendering+HD, unless you're running a PC from 2025 your hardware is going to limit that framerate hard. See: cucks posting screens of Tomb Raider 1 running at 40/60 fps

if tombraider on psx was written framerate dependent, it's gonna be locked to 25 or 30fps. DOS Glide version was locked to refresh rate of the monitor (vsync). I see no reason why a software renderer should exceed engine restrictions.

OpenGL works like shit for PSX, you get seams everywhere and other glitches. 3D rendering is not so complex on PSX like it is on N64 so an optimized software renderer using SSE2 will be much better than hardware rendering.

Can't blame OGL for that. You can get the same with a software renderer. OGL is not magic. It's just offloading repetitive computations to a processor dedicated to do them, in parallel.

Well existing hardware renderers are total shit compared to software renderers because none of them get the texture scaling right and don't apply any dithering effects, making some games look wrong.

[Anonymous No.2622481]

>>2622137
They probably made a calculated decision that higher internal rez would look better without dithering

Did the PS1 even have a graphics card? I remember everything looking really pixilated on that system.

[Anonymous No.2622904]

>>2622898
The PS1 had hardware dedicated to certain 2D and 3D operations. It also had a low resolution, and was lacking 3D operations considered "standard" nowadays, like bilinear filtering for texture lookups or perspective correct texture transform.

The PS1 did not have a "graphics card" in the sense of an additional module. Consoles are not designed modular, like PCs. It did have a dedicated chip, or chipset. Systems before the PS1 also had dedicated graphics hardware. A "graphics card" (or GPU) does not imply 3D graphics.

a 3D accelerator is an add-on card installed next to a 2D GPU and CPU. Nowadays all GPUs have native 3D capabilities and the concept of a 3D accelerator is largely dead.
