Basically nothing is going to be more efficient or as random as just sampling a pre-generated noise texture. Real-time noise generation should be a last resort for if you need parameterized noise.

Cool! Glad you're getting the real deal instead of paying killjew 90 bucks.

Is there a switch emulator that can run tears of the kingdom well atm? The last time I checked a year ago they all ran like shit.

Is pcem or 86box ever going to support emulation of early geforce cards?

do you think in 2040 they'll be writing shaders to recreate that rtx raytracing on ai framegen look of the 20s?

>>556421013
Probably not.

>>556421013
Doubtful, at least in the near future. Nvidia cards have close to fuck all documentation, which is what they rely on for emulation. Pretty much the closest we have is the bits that Xemu emulates of the Xbox's GPU at a low level, and that card is something between a Geforce 3 and 4, which is waaaaaaay out of scope for 86Box. They've stated there's efforts underway to emulate the Riva TNT, which is a much earlier card, and even if they ever manage it, it'll likely be where they'll stop for a good while just out of performance considerations.

>>556421013
what exactly are you expecting to achieve by emulating them that wouldn't be accomplished by just directly translating their dx7 or whatever calls to a modern graphics api?

>>556420960

Thank god, lugging around an extra 70GB of NCAs extracted from update NSPs always felt like such a drag. Plus, the emulator loads much faster now (my home partition is on a disk raid, bite me).
But there's a small bug: XCI's that had updates bundled with them will create an update list showing multiple entries named after the highest version of an update you have. Like XCX will show two entries for 1.02 when I have the 1.02 update NSP in the configured update folder and when I move that elsewhere the second 1.02 entry becomes 1.01. But by default the actual highest update gets selected so it shouldn't confuse tards too much.

Has anybody tried rpcs3 mouse motion controls? Seems like a pretty big deal for stuff like folklore.

Depends on the game, plenty of games on the wii (iirc mario galaxy 2 in particular) work with normal controls and have 'shake' bound to something different because the devs playtested it with this motherfucker and didn't want to shake their arms around. I don't know what percentile it would be but it's always worth a try.

unrelated I'm giving disgaea 1 a break after getting most of the way through it. already beat ff12 and loved it, ff10 felt like it was for small children but I'm still going to play through it for the story and voice acting at some point. Tried ff7 and the item leveling shit is utterly unforgivable, then I found out they also wrote out half the characters after disc 1 and noped out even though I'll finish it eventually.

Lottes is the best. It can be easily configured to imitate any kind of crt. From a consumer set, to a broadcast monitor, to an arcade monitor and everything in between.

your reply was very frustrating but I'm happy you are having fun lol

Took a look at the recommendations mirahaze for /v/ and most of the strategy games looked exceptionally lame in the gameplay videos I watched except for Drakengard. What I wasn't expecting was for Drakengard to be exactly the game that Skyward Sword was advertised as. Very repetitive and very grindy so far (in a good way) and the secrets are fun to find and the flying is spectacular. Not quite an RPG as much as a single character dynasty warriors game. I'm having a blast and so is my dragon who keeps trying to talk down my character from making irrational decisions and neglecting the campaign to basically go off and do what would be sidequests in any other game, causing problems as people die because I didn't move fast enough lol my guy is just so hate filled and I love him.

1:08 to 1:11 "Link takes flight to find her, WHEREVER she may be" (advertising that the loftwing would be used wherever creatively without actually saying it so they can't be sued for false advertising)
1:13 to 1:20 "During his adventure, Link can FREELY explore the skys by riding on this colossal bird, a loftwing!"
https://youtu.be/EAPldVCRo-g
Then at the e3 demo literally all they showed off was the bird race like that was going to be the biggest part of the game. Then as soon as you get done with that bird race you totally drop loftwings from the plot for 8 to 12ish hours except as a means of travelling the very empty hub with 2 islands for less than a minute between trips, basically just becoming setdressing until you do a short mission in a tornado that takes less than 20 minutes and then it goes back to being setdressing for the rest of the game besides, I think, one whole minigame race. There's a whole section of the game, probably the first hour, dedicated to talking to Zelda and getting this parachute and landing on this spot and it's very very obvious from that tutorial that the parachute was supposed to be a momentum based item and not just 'you press this before you hit the ground after using your loftwing for fast travel and if you don't press the button we just press it for you and then sink down in a straight line.'
The implication was that our mount wasn't going to be Epona this game, it was going to be a fucking loftwing which was sick. Drakengard has a real flying mount for combat has the sudden boost when you press X as when you shook both the wiimote and the nunchuck, has a knight with a sword who leaps off the dragon and fights with a fancy moveset which is exactly what I expected from Skyward Sword given how it was advertised (except for the hordes of enemies thing.)
Coincidentally I'm also protecting a girl who has the goddess spirit in her just like in Skyward Sword as well.

I'd imagine they're affected similarly since ultimately it's an issue with the signal and the decoders. Which leads to the question, do you get a double NTSC effect when watching a VHS recording of a NTSC broadcast?

Also I wonder how VHS handled 240p? I know some freaks used to run their consoles through a VHS recorder and record their play. I'd assume everything just go recorded as interlaced video.

And now you got visual pipeline tools to setup shader stacks. They work, elegantly, but if you want enough moving parts, at some point you need to avoid using prefabs in order to avoid cumulative copy paste.

This. CRT display was basically a hardware pixel shader. Big blobs of pixels in a single color were displayed as a quasi- texture, rough lines looked more smooth.
The most simple pixel shader featuring translucent scanlines is far from the real hardware, but it makes it closer to the original look than anything else.
Take a close look at the pic related, left side with enabled shader, right doesn't.

its both
CRTs dont have a fixed pixel count so it doesnt quite look like pixels
Even in a computer CRT through VGA, if you set a PC game resolution like 1024x768 in a 21" monitor it will look way better than what you'd expect, edges get naturally smoothed just on the basis that its a CRT and the pixel accuracy isnt quite perfect, or maybe the fact that theres no predefined pixel count

It looks like pixels, but the difference in display technology makes it extremely hard to spot individual "pixels" without pressing eye to the surface of the screen.
First, pixels are dots with size depending on resolution and screen size, not 100% tiny sharp rectangles of the same color.
Second, there's "noise" created by scanlines (visible but hard to focus the sight on) and aperture grille (barely visible).
