No, that game crashes. Sorry.

Naruto Clash of Ninja 2 now works with svn830, and it's fullspeed.

In R844, Starfox Assault now has a number of missing graphics in OpenGL mode.
None of the videos show now, the loading screens are blank, the menus are missing some graphics and the in game hud doesn't show at all.

Also SMS is missing some screen effects, e.g the M at the beginning that zooms into the video.
Also the bug is back in Zelda TP, where the top left quarter of the screen is blurred.
And Zelda WW has the bug back on the intro where the title card disappears behind the scenery.
And Soul Caliber 2 has completely blank menu screens now.
And SSBM has the black floor textures back.

Turns out that the new fix for Bloom shader causes this negative effects and maybe some other! Omegadox stated that here and the Devs reverted that again (at least partially) in R846. Try it again

In 844, Fire Emblem menus are blank. The intros between chapters don't show at all. Gotta try 846...

[diablo2121]

Omegadox, your bloom fix broke some games, yes, but for the first time ever, I've seen fixes for a Skies of Arcadia Legends graphics bug.

Skies of Arcadia Emulation

As posted above, I attached some screenshots of a problem SoA:L has had since the bigenning. Some scenes render textures only and everything is cast in a red tint. Your bloom fix, while killing menus and dialogue boxes in SoA:L, rendered these exact scenes in full color. I don't know what you did, but that was the first time I've seen them in color ever. Granted, the fix had more cons than pros, but maybe with some knowledge of your fix, the developers could come up with a more general, long-term fix for graphical glitches like this in SoA:L and other games.

[omegadox]

Yes, apparently, flipping the projection matrix breaks other stuff. We need to understand the GC's projections better and adjust the values so they fit for OpenGL and D3D9, each Graphics API has its own value range on its projection.

You should even post some (not to much ^^) screens of the fixed one. Just for compare! Would be nice to see.

This takes a little time. But hey, remember: all emus can just run homebrews or "nothing" in the beginning and in the end they can even be as good as the original console (talking about the emulation accuracy only!) and even better due to extra functions (savegames, unlimited memcards, etc.) ^^ I'm hopeful at this!

Edit:
Oh, just saw R847. Why taking some "mini bar"? Wouldn't additional hotkeys do it as well? I mean if they are going to improve them anyway, they could make 3 new ones for Play/Pause and Stop (could be just 2 Keys!). Or is this not possible without "render to main"? Maybe I just don't get the problem... *outing: noob* ^^

I was thinking how the Project64's GUI works but putting GUI elements to the separate render window might be tricky, because the graphics is processed in its own thread. So I thought of using a separate window. The way dolphin looks now is ok I think, just needs code cleaning and less haks.

At least you made the suggestion, so let the Devs see if they can do it. But I would not put that on top of the priority list. To me compability and full emulation (yes TLB too!) comes first... But who am I to decisde :P

Useless to ask, just try It. Your system shold be powerful enough to handle this. Nevertheless, this one has been stated before, just read a bit :P

Yay! R849 got some "sexy" fixes XD (It's up to you, if you get it wrong now! ^^)

Agreed for the GUI part, hmm, coding TLB support would be a neck breaker basically.

I know or better: I can imagine from what I've read here! And the point about losing FPS with TLB: Till this emu is completed, we'll probably have "Hexadeca-Core-CPUs" (16) ^^

or add an option that can toggle it. PJ64 can.

I'd think the projection matrix can be arbitrarily emulated..
