Beta Testing Has Begun!

[Deadrabbtz]

Hi there. Any luck with majoras mask glitch yet?

[Paul]

Sure no problem i attached it to this reply

I have sound and the last release build works fine

The problem seems to be here:

Code: [Select]

06-14 22:05:05.136 E/libEGL  (4048): call to OpenGL ES API with no current context (logged once per thread)
However, I haven't seen that message in a while (not since I got the video plug-in working almost a year ago).  I'll have to look at the code to see what might be causing this.  I assume it affects both video plug-ins?

Sorry, I haven't had time to look at this in a while.

yeah both video plugins give me a black screen

gTan64 is back!!  He has already solved a bug that has been part of the project since before Alpha testing started - the "RAM full of zeros" bug requiring the core to be built in APP_OPTIM := debug mode.

With the fix in place, the emulator now runs noticeably faster.  Conker's Bad Fur Day is now playable with sound on my Galaxy Nexus (cutscenes are still laggy, but in-game the audio skipping is hardly noticable with the volume turned down (sort of like the forest in OOT was on my Droid X).

Anyway, this should hopefully help out the ARM6 folks.  Let me know how it does (better, worse, about the same) compared to the previous version:

Paul I installed the Xperia Play app in my phone and when I load a game it just shuts.

Which version, this one here?  Also which game has the problem (or is it before you get to choose a game?)

Awesome!
There's a little bit of improvement I think.. still not very playable on ARMv6 though (curse you low-end phone )

I've noticed that even if fast texture loading is unchecked, the spot in conker's intro is drawn correctly.
Z-hack on rice and stretch screen on gles2n64 didn't work too.
And yes, less stuttering sound on my both devices. Will test it later on the GB port for Pandora and N900.

Good to hear about fixed bug, but for me in-game performance hasn't changed. Though, frontend is very fast. And... my language translation isn't updated...?

Edit: Here's a bigger problem... FPS keeps getting on save selection screen 15-20 FPS in Mario64 while before I've managed to get 25-30 before some kind of configuration. I don't know what's wrong.

And... my language translation isn't updated...?

Sorry, didn't drop in the current translations in that build (it isn't quite as simple as "dropping in", because at least one of them has to be converted to UTF-8 every time, so I tend to put it off).  I'll update the translations tonight though.

If you run 1.9.2, does it still get 25-30 FPS?  I think I'll post two tests tonight that are identical except for that bug-fix, just so fair comparisons can be made on various devices.  One would expect -O3 to perform better than -O2, but that may not be the case in some instances (I also have to factor in -UNDEBUG now too which could affect performance negatively, although I wouldn't expect it to outweigh the -O3 advantage).

[Tom.K]

Not sure why... but it seems that it's okay now on this test release, 25-30 FPS... It seems that some option causes it to go slower, but I don't know which is it. During gameplay, it's 15 FPS.

1.9.2 gave same results, though sound was more choppy. So it seems that optimized release managed to speed up sound, but not the game. I can't be still 100% sure.

[Paul]

Sounds like the change is negligible on some devices.  As long as it isn't a negative impact though, I'll be happy (means I can rearrange the code into a much more developer-friendly layout, and eventually stage it for future incorporation back into Richard42's original project).

Good stuff! Made Aidyn Chronicles playable

[xperia64]

Paper mario is now playable (WITHOUT flickering!) using gles2rice all options unchecked. Also the gles2n64 screen stretched setting is reversed

[Paul]

Here are a couple temporary links to that build, while I'm struggling with the domain name thing:

TEST APK (alt link #1)

TEST APK (alt link #2)

At least one of these should be up if I happen to be messing with things (two different hosts).
