Dark Rift graphics microcode cracked

**mudlord** · February 20th, 2008

Hello,

Here's some screenshots of Dark Rift HLE emulated...

It seems the microcode for Dark Rift's 3D models just derived from microcodes which were often used in N64 demos. Thus, the result of mixing commercial microcodes with demo microcode shows the 3D models used in Dark Rift. Gonetz discovered this in only 2 days, based off a idea olivieryuyu had about using demo microcodes in commercial game emulation...Which works great, it seems...

so why aren't you whipping him to make him find out the LLE emulated starwars games :P

Star Wars Rogue Squadron and Battle For Naboo use a completely different system.

For Last Legion UX, it uses a similar microcode to Dark Rift's models, but the structure of it is different...

Nice! N64 still has some unemulated gems and problems with games and it's always nice to see that they are fixed more and more.

Yeah, its funny, Dark Rift uses the Turbo3D microcode, which Nintendo supposedly never endorsed for usage in commercial games. Strange though Kronos used it in Dark Rift though for its models...

so, is new microcodes emulating Kuiki Uhabi Suigo (aka Saikyo Habu Shogi)?
It was one of the Nintendo 64's three Japanese launch games.

**mudlord** · March 2nd, 2008

Not yet.

I don't know what microcode it uses.

Very good mudlord hoping to see more progress on your plugin soon.

Its not my plugin, its Gonetz's :P. I just help him with being one of the authors of the Glide3x wrapper he uses to support modern cards with Glide64.
