A lot of surfaces in PS1 games were tessellated to minimize texture warping, which increased the polygon count. I wonder if affline mapping only was worth it in the end.

Should elaborate on this: a flat plane, that on any other system would be just 2 polygons, could be 10 or 20 on certain PS1 games. The more vertices, the more data an affline texture mapper can interpolate between. It's not some technical feature of the PS1, but an artistic decision when making 3D models.

It's also useful for realtime lights, which are calcuated per vertex on the PS1. But they were on every console up to the Xbox, too.

Perspective correction is pretty expensive though, you'd need a full divider in the GPU texture engine and increase the size of the commands coming from the CPU/GTE. I guess they prefered to have a very fast even if inaccurate rasterizer. Same reason for using integer coordinates in the GPU and no Z-buffer. Solving those issues would slow things down pretty significantly.

Many games managed to do really well with those limitations, Crash games look pretty good for instance. Besides those issues only become glaring when increasing the internal resolution which obviously was not a concern of Sony's engineers at the time.

I think overall it was the right decision. Compare with the N64 for instance, they had a much better GPU on paper but in practice the PSX managed to have the more impressive games overall IMO. I think Sony managed to strike the right balance for the 1st generation of 3D consoles.

>Should elaborate on this: a flat plane, that on any other system would be just 2 polygons, could be 10 or 20 on certain PS1 games

This is pretty much the reason that something like Hyrule Field would be impossible on the PS1. To texture such a large landscape without eye cancer warping you would need a ridiculous amount of tessellation.

I always find it a bit strange that people are critical of draw distance in N64 games when the affine texture issue literally makes large textured landscapes a physical impossibility on PS1?

>But they were on every console up to the Xbox, too.

In theory, as both Gamecube and N64 have a color combiner unit they can hardware accelerate per-pixel lighting. But you are right that the first console that saw a fair bit of it was Xbox, everything before that was per-vertex.

The problem for PS1 is that setting good quality (i.e. actually dynamic) per-vertex lighting for so many polygons is extremely expensive. GTE is a fixed function T&L unit that is significantly better at the transform part than the lighting part. Not to mention it puts more stress on the PS1's anemic CPU by enlarging display lists.

>I always find it a bit strange that people are critical of draw distance in N64 games when the affine texture issue literally makes large textured landscapes a physical impossibility on PS1?

Because a majority of the offenders on the N64 side just don't give a shit and do it anyway. On PSX they tend to design within that limit, and you're deluding yourself if you think people don't call out the games that similarly don't give a shit.

Actually I'd argue it's quite the opposite. The problem is the developers did give a shit (although not the right kind of shit).

On N64 bad draw distance the developers felt ashamed about it and tried to cover it up with fog. This was a bit of a problem because the fog actually in some ways made the bad draw distance more noticeable.

On PS1 bad draw distance usually isn't even hidden, you just get blatant pop up. I'd say that on average PS1 games get pop up closer than N64 games have fog. But the irony is that the fog is probably more noticeable regardless.

That doesn't excuse the double standard though.

Yeah but the funny thing is 2D (hud and stuff) isn't even rendered with tris but using a 2D function (rectangles, you can check looking at the VRAM DMA calls) that can't be be scaled/rotated so it will always look right, it's a definite fuckup in the code.

What would be closer to this perspective correction hack is his GTE division setting, but I could be damned if I found any practical difference from the accurate option.

As I said, I hope all of this gets fixed along with the debugger glitches and general inaccuracies, and I really mean it because as far as the audio goes this thing is spot on and doesn't require a monster computer.

It's just Sony taking short cuts to produce a system that can be 3D but without costing 600 dollars. It's not like improper texture correction is used for artist merits. If devs could make straight lines they would.

I think people who can't like PS1's 3D for its common traits just wish they were playing modern games or are huge spergs who are easily distracted and can't look past simple rendering flaws.

I got a PS1 in 1998, before I have only seen 3D on DOS/Win9x FPS or racing games, most of which ran with their software renderer (even though dad got a 3D card so he could play Jedi Knight with hardware acceleration and all that). From that time, I specifically remember not giving a fuck about Duke3D's distortion when looking up or down, I found it an 'acceptable approximation' and just had fun with the game because I could wander in 3 dimensions. I'd personally take PS1's wobbling over that if I had the choice.

When I finally got to play my first PS1 games, I've never, EVER given a damn about the parkinsons (which is tamer at native res) or the wobbling textures, I must be autistic about other stuff than 3D rendering, because I totally enjoyed each game I played and I never even questioned if something could make more sense environment wise, I just thought it was something unavoidable, an aftereffect limited to the best of what they could do, and I was right. Why is differing color fidelity on 2D consoles not a big deal as much as incorrect 3D rendering? That said I can play EGA games without blinking an eye, CGA not that sure and I'm enough of a SEGA fag to look past the Genesis 64 color limit. Why is it only the distortions that bother you so much? Is your suspense of disbelief that low? Of course it would be great if all the games ever ported with current technology and could express themselves as close as the developers wanted, but if that was not achievable until now, why couldn't you just suck it up and make your own mental image of what was going on on the screen instead of constantly being fed 3D inaccuracies that your mind refuses because they don't make sense?

Playstation's wobble was a lot worse than other contemporary platforms though.

Look at Quake software mode, it's got a fast approximate perspective correction that never warps 99.9% of the time. Or Saturn where the quad rendering isn't as susceptible to wobble. Or N64 where the wobble doesn't exist at all due to full hardware perspective correction.

PS1 was able to push a lot of polygons but this came at the cost of having more violently unstable 3D compared to everything else. Whether this was a reasonable compromise or not is up to the individual.

People do bitch about color in old CGA and EGA and the Genesis not being able to color as well as the SNES was a big issue at the time. For CGA there was actually a composite output fix where artists would color games in a way that would make use of the shitty composite signal to create interpolated colors. Obviously some people gave a shit back in the day about texture warping because other companies minimized the problem when Sony didn't. Basically, if the devs probably wanted their game to look as nice as it could and the texture warp was just getting in the way of that. If they had a workaround I'm sure they would have tried if it didn't cost performance, so there's no reason not to use the hack if what you desire is visual fidelity. Texture warping isn't really the way it's meant to be played, and those of us who lived through the system's heyday knew and accepted the problem, but that doesn't mean we liked it.

Seems like a good time for me to emulate a bunch of PS1 games I never got round to. Which of these is still worth playing:

ape escape,
tomba
einhander,
tenchu
colony wars & vengeance
r type delta
rollcage stage 2
metal slug x,
vigilante 8,
die hard
siphon filter
spider man

I'm seeing it all over the place in the video, just not on the road. It's quite visible on the buildings in the San Fransisco-type level. The effect is supposedly lessened somewhat by running at native res but it's a well-documented issue.

Yeah, he posted some vids and then NEVER released his plugin. This is entirely some other people working on something new. So yeah, we could have had this YEARS ago.

Implementing a z-buffer for PS1 would be a 100x harder than the perspective correct texture mod. You would essentially need to create an algorithm that dynamically changes how a PS1 game sorts its polygons in a scene (which can vary hugely from game to game).

Implementing a perspective divide for textures is trivial compared to that.

Also the wobbly animations is caused by a lack of sub-pixel precision in calculations. Theoretically it shouldn't be very hard to implement it in HLE.

>Unfortunately that's due to the unfinished nature of the code, there isn't anything you can do to resolve it yourself. The only way to remove the effect would be to disable PGXP, which would also disable perspective correct texturing.

>What you're seeing are seams appearing between vertices that have been successfully captured in high precision and ones which have been lost and so the plugin has fallen back on the low precision data. This causes neighbouring triangles to have slightly different positions for the same vertex, opening up a seam between them.

If people consider it a problem is because PS1 was the only console with this issue, and it looks terrible on any non crt screen so if people have a chance to fix it why they shouldn't? and why someone shouldn't be excited to play a game they like with fixed visuals?

There's a reason every NES emulator has the option to switch the sprite limit on/off, it is more or less the same case here.

Someone do Medal of Honor, it's a first person shooter so it warps itself to hell pretty hard with that FOV and the short distance from surfaces.

>Crash never really suffered from warping because ND did a good job.

It's not as bad in Crash because the environments use baked 3D data preprocessed on workstations so they've been tightly developed to minimize visual errors. Excluding the environments are Crash, a few enemies and crates. Most of Crash and his enemies are composed of gouraud shading which doesn't suffer from perspective errors.

But it's not perfect, you do occasionally see a tiny bit of environmental warping (maybe a couple of places ND overlooked). I've actually seen the most warping on crates (which are not part of the bake) because they are fully textured on all sides.

Crash still has the lack of subpixel precision inherent in all PS1 games (wasn't very much Naughty Dog could do about it) which results in a bit of wobble. And even though Crash's baked environments are pretty much perfect when it comes to z-sorting, there are a couple of places (mostly around doorways) where you can get Crash misdrawn on top of a wall when he's actually standing behind it.

But overall a pretty good job by ND to avoid the typical PS1 distortions.
