Rice Daedalus 5.1.0 Bugs Report

[MoJo]

I tried the Rice Daedalus 5.1.0 plugin with UltraHLE 2064 and Project 64 SP1. I've encountered many problems. Both PJ64 and UltraHLE 2064 produced same result, so I deduce this is plugin bug. I make a report thread for Rice Daedalus's author.

Another problem with Mario 64 Hand Cursor

Whenever I try to play Ocarina of Time in DirectX mode, all I get is garbage. My NVidia card has better antialiasing techniques in Direct3D, so I really don't want to use OpenGL.

Rice Daedalus is updated quite often, but it has never come close to the Jabo plugin, it's still the ONE, the BEST!

Yep, the OpenGL is messed up - don't use it! Use Direct X or use glNintendo64() (excellent accuracy, low compatibility) or TR64 Ogl (good compatility, good accuracy) if you want a good OpenGL plugin.

Rice's next release will be more concentrated on his GeForce MX card rather than his previous version where he tried to support many cards, but this caused too many bugs. You might have to wait a while for this release therefore.

when i use rice daedalus, it was very slow, although i didn't on the 2x or any enhancement...why is it so?

[Clements]

That is a very odd issue. When played fullscreen, Rice's plugin can slow down a lot, especially compared to other plugins. Lowering the resolution and enabling frameskip helps a great deal.

When i played Evangelion the backgrounds were messed up in Battles with my ATI Radeon , with GF 2 MX they appeared but still not as good as with Jabos.
But transparency i think works better with Rice especially with the GF card.
I´m realy looking forward to the developpment of this plugin.

I'm not sure, but ngemu has close ties with Emutalk so he may see these reports.

Rice checks in here occasionally. Last time I saw him was about 2-3 months ago though.

If someone who is registered at Emutalk could Pm him with a link to this thread I am sure that would do the job. I tried registering there but never received the confirmation email - I think that they have a very strict ban on free-email providers, as does NGemu - although I was able to trick NGEmu into mailing me the registry code anyways :p :evil:

I have a h3ll of a time with that plugin - My Voodoo 5 hates it with a passion (D3D doesn't work period, and OpenGL works fine about 2/3 of the time and gives me a grey screen the rest of the time), and my GeForce 2 MX 400 isn't much better - it crashes randomly and only works with D3D.

hmm u guys say use OpenGL instead of DirectX, I can't even use DirectX

[MoJo]

the same here, sometime DirectX work, sometime not

There is a fix available for those who have higher end cards like Ti's and high end Radeons with Direct X. You use a program called 3D analyse which fixes the glitches. Read this thread (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=14775&page=1&pp=15) (particularly pages 2 and 3 where Trotterwatch posts screenshots and a link to the program) I don't have to use it, so unfortunately I can't give a guided tour, but it probably simple enough.
