Thank you ePSXe Team

Just dropping by to let you know how happy I'm about 1.7.0, outstanding work

Also, does anyboy know if there's a GPU plugin similar to NextGL being developed right now? Pete's kickass OGL2 is still the most compatible out there, but it's kinda lacking in other departments.

Regards.

Define lacking?

........

Most other plugins (other than Pete's) were slightly 'in hiatus'. PS1 emulation is pretty much complete now, after all. I'd say: don't hold your breath over the other plugins. Would still be cool to see nickk back on his owns as well.

Squall was asking, in what section or meaning do you find 'OGL2' lacking ?

I don't know that, because neither epsxe 1.7 runs in my laptop or OGL2.

EDIT: Its working now.

Very strange.

Speed with increased internal resolutions, not exactly smooth when compared to NextGL and even the ancient Bleem! at least on my system which exceeds every requirement except for the video card (128mb GeForce FX 5600)

Different plugins, different pros.

**Hard core Rikki** · June 6th, 2008, 05:56

...

Post your hardware specs.

No point in doing that, but I appreciate the interest.

Squall-Leonhart · June 6th, 2008, 06:29

NextGL skips certain effects to compensate for the speed increase, where as Petes GL does it properly. The price you pay in accuracy is returned in speed, which is reversed in Petes OGL,
I take accurate graphics > speed anyday.

granted that the SM2 shaders on the FX cards are stunted anyway, i don't doubt you get crappity performance on the 5600.

The bugs in it were outside of my variables, i don't have any games which bugged in multi iso mode since it seems FF disks seem to swap disks with no problems anyway, the main bugs that i had in it, being Rumble, Axis, States, Sound and whats not were fixed.

I also don't have onboard audio which is why i couldn't test for audio skipping resulting from a lack of adjustable buffering. but a few long term wished features have been logged and may appear in a future release at some point.

What exactly are you talking about? framebuffer effects, something else? just to confirm, because OGL2 crawls even with framebuffer effects disabled when both internal resolutions are set to "High - Standrard" or better.

The official readme warns about the slowdown you're likely to experience from higher internal resolutions combined with framebuffer effects, but my situation is evidently worse.

NextGL and Bleem! seem to be taking advantage of my hardware to a greater extent.

Squall-Leonhart · June 6th, 2008, 08:21

lol, bad word play there matey,....

and yes, of course they do, if you don't set no render to texture to 2

i've seen many people using pbuffer (1) which is slow as hell.

Regardless, i've configured epsxe for use on Geforce 5200 > 5900XT with no, real performance loss. though it typically counts on a persons knowledge of his hardware....

ihateliberals · June 6th, 2008, 08:43

OGL2 works like a charm here, as long as I'm playing in native, and no problems with ePSXe so far.

I actually know my hardware/software pretty well, it's just that OGL2 doesn't perform as good with these internal resolutions.

**jonc2006** · June 6th, 2008, 13:27

it performs fine at higher internal resolutions provided you have the render mode set to 2 otherwise it will give bad performance.

That's the one I use, but it's not very helpful with higher internal resolutions.

I think whats lacking is your graphics card

**3x3cUt0r** · June 9th, 2008, 05:30

Most problems are hardware related, Pete's plugins are pretty much complete, upgrade your hardware to enjoy OGL2 plugin.

the 5600 was never good at complex shader and frame buffer effects due to its slower and narrower memory bus.

**3x3cUt0r** · June 10th, 2008, 04:11

I had 5900nu and it was slow with OGL2 Plugin.

i have an XT and its perfectly fine, the only slowdowns are on battle transitions and excessive FBE's (knights of the round / Eden summon)
