Cool, that good news.

Quote:

Added support for RGBA 4444 and 5551 textures, saving a bunch of memory in the front end.
Tidied up all the texture conversion code, fixing a few bugs in the process
Fixed the width/height of FillRect calls in 1 and 2 cycle mode (fixed a few small graphical issues)
Fixed a blending bug (fixed a few small graphical issues)
Use 16-bit textures on the PSP to represent 16-bit N64 textures. Saves time converting, saves memory, and faster rendering
Added mirrored texture support (this fixes lots of small graphical glitches)
Fixed a LoadTile bug, allowing a couple of hacks to be removed (this also fixes various small graphical glitches)
Added some new blend modes for various roms
Fixed the Tri2 command for F3DLX microcodes
Fixed a bug in busy-wait detection (this wasn't working correctly with dynarec code, net result is a small speedup)
Fixed a few dynarec stability issues (relating to exceptions occuring mid-trace)
Added audio support

Added the ability to dump textures (developer builds only at the moment)
Fixed screenshots. Again.
Implemented cmp.s, cvt.s, cvt.w, mtc1, mfc1, bc1f, bc1t, j, cfc1, ctc1, daddu, trunc.w.s, bc1t, bc1f, bc1tl, bcifl, bnel, beql, blezl, bgtzl, bltzl, blezl in dynarec (this gives a decent speedup)
Avoid setting the branch delay flag and current PC in generated dynarec code unless absolutely necessary (this gives another small speedup)
Much better memory access handling in dynamically recompiled code (this gives a BIG speedup

Use a second code buffer for generated dynarec code, to avoid polluting the instruction cache (this gives another small speedup)
Further improve the memory access handling in generated dynarec code (another small speedup)
Fix register usage analysis for lwc1/swc1/mfc1/mtc1 which was preventing base registers used in these instructions from being cached (another small speedup)
Have compensation blocks restore nobbled registers, so on-trace code does't need to reload (another small speedup)

wow, thats a long update list. sounds promising.

PS. some mod should edit the title to "new N64 Emulator to be released this month". it looks like you're a total n00b finding an old post now

Awesome! I'm very suprised that sound and added speed are together! Talk about efficient!

so this emu ? will it actually make n64 games playable ? or will they be slow?

wilhel1812 · #6 (**permalink**) 02-09-2007, 07:13 PM

It runs decently at about 15 FPS on SM64 for me. I've managed to get 38 stars so far out of sheer boredom. Kinda pathetic, since I've already beaten it on N64, Wii, and DS.

wilhel1812 · #8 (**permalink**) 02-09-2007, 09:55 PM

30fps is the standard isn't it?

SpongeFreak52 · #9 (**permalink**) 02-09-2007, 10:10 PM

Well, it might be a bit lower for me, I think my version is horribly outdated. I haven't used it for a while, now that I think about it. I'm listening to the SM64 soundtrack as I type this as a matter -o- fact.

30 FPS is what most people call "good." Here is the FPS spectrum (roughly, it's slightly different for different people and the amount of movement)

6~8: Eye "sees" motion instead of just indiviual pictures
11~13: fames begain to "combine" into each other.
19~23: Individual "low motion" frames can no longer be picked out
30ish: No individual frame can be picked out. Refresh faster then eye
32+: from here to about 60 fps, the only thing you would notice is how "smooth" the video is. A faster fps just seems a little cleaner for whatever reason.
60+: No difference.

Long story short, 15 fps and up is playable in my book. It just hasn't reached

level yet
