Continue reading Development Plan – March 13, 2023Ī new concept we’re going to try, we’ll see if it lasts. It can play some of the 1980s LaserDisc arcade games. DirkSimple is a core written from scratch by icculus, one of the original creators/maintainers of popular open source projects like SDL. This brings the total number of available cores on Steam to 60 now. PSA: If people downloaded RetroArch on Windows earlier today they should Continue reading DirkSimple core added on Steam + RetroArch updateĭirkSimple core added to Steam We added a new core, DirkSimple. Sites should be operational right now and everything should work fine right now. We have no indications that other systems including core distribution was accessed, so there is no immediate cause for concern there. The cause of the intrusion has been found and isolated. This project exists because Continue reading Server incident resolved Remember that this project exists for the benefit of our users, and that we wouldn’t keep doing this were it not for spreading the love to our users. If you’d like to learn more about upcoming releases, please consult our roadmap here. Save the changes – this applies bilinear filtering to every game played on the PlayStation emulator from now on.RetroArch 1.16.0 has just been released. Locate and edit the retroarch configuration file for the PlayStation emulator:Īdd the entry to enable video smoothing: All settings made here will override the global settings for the current core Instead I added an entry (video_smooth = true) to the PlayStation emulator’s configuration file to achieve this: Whilst switching the bilinear filtering on or off would seem an obvious feature to be made available via the RetroArch/Libretro menu, I have not located an entry which does so. Unfortunately on modern LCD displays the effect becomes revealed for what it truly is – a rather obvious pixelated grid. The dithering effect works well on the original PlayStation hardware, when connected to a cathode ray tube (CRT) television via RF or composite cables in this case inherent limitations in the technology are exploited to cause a natural anti-aliasing effect to blend the dithering, creating the illusion of more, and smoother, colours. I choose to apply this mainly to combat the extremely apparent dithering effect which a great many PlayStation games utilise. The in-game screen grabs included in this post all feature a degree of smoothing, which is applied by via Libretro to the emulator in the form of bilinear filtering. "Smoothing the Video Output with Bilinear Filtering may be that there is already another way to enable the mentioned resource! (i'm not good at linux.) Would you like to inform if this option informed below in the site would already be available to be enabled directly within the retroarch? Because the publication on the site is from January 2016. Remember that: I'm using Rpi3 that has a better hardware configuration than the previous ones and since this option certainly consumes more features of your device, I believe that in previous versions of Raspberry, it could be slow as the mode itself already warns in its Name, and it is necessary to disable it if let is very slow. for me, this is the best possible configuration for this emulator. I do not know if this option already existed in previous versions, because I did not really watch it, but it really is very satisfying to be able to play Playstation 1 with such image quality.Īs this is not an easy-to-see option for lay users like me, so I decided to share here for those who need it. With this configuration I believe that the best possible image is applied to this emulator and it certainly becomes much better to play PSX games. I activated these options by changing from "disabled" to "enabled" and pressed "B" to save the settings and then, magic happens: The image is completely smooth, without pixelation, very similar to what the OpenGL plugin(.so file) does in the ePSXe emulator for Windows / Mac / Linux / Android. ", and "Enable Enhanced resolution (Slow)". However, I discovered recently in this latest version 5.8, when accessing the menu of retroArch (Hotkey + B ) that, under options there are two interesting options: "Enable Interlacing. However, when I try to activate these shaders in the PSX emulator, the games start to very slowly and in no way improves the image, resulting in the impossibility of playing these games. I also activated interesting shaders in MegaDrive emulators, Snes etc. I always left the "soft image" mode activated to improve the graphics and I saw that it helps the best image for the emulators of Nes, Snes etc. I would like to share with you a way I discovered when upgrading to version 5.8 that allows for immense improvement in image quality in PSX games.
