question about posted progress

chane2k1 · June 19th, 2007

id like to know what the "Sorting Implemented. (nullPVR)" does for graphics? just interested, keep up the awesome work.

PsyMan · June 19th, 2007

Sorting does exactly what the word says. It "shorts" GFX. There are various things on screen are in front (or behind) things they shouldn't. Sorting "fixes" some of these cases by placing GFX on their correct order.
This makes some games look better while making some others look worse than before. It also has an impact on speed.

that's cool, i thought it was some sort of blending problem. sounds like powerstone's effects look good now, although i still enjoy it anyway at present.

So the alphablending issues are fixed? That's cool.

Now they just need to fix Ikaruga level 2 and tweak the sound abit and NullDC will be perfect.

Ikaruga will not be fixed anytime soon unless a miracle happens. And yes, it's more complicated than it looks.

Yeah.. Way more complex than it seems..Guess we'l find out some day...Ika sends the bullets behind BG 'on purpose'.Its not a rendering bug, and so far doesnt seem like a cpu bug either ...

Oh dear. That sounds very bad.
