Work in Progress :



------------------------------------------------------------

I'll be updating this thread as more games are reported as fixed or improved on either of those revs that were implemented missing microcode commands.
Also I'll be adding for info and screenshots how the games looked before and after.

Since we are not sure 100% of all the games that might be affected since we lack the docs that say what games use those microcodes commands, best way is to test games and report them if they get fixed or broken.

Please report any results as if XXXX game got fixed, broken, or improved.

Don't forget to thank Grazz, since he has helped alot !

when will the custom microcodes be implemented

Time will tell but might take a while

Custom ucodes are not a priority since they are "per game".
The microcodes grazz is implementing is used for several game..they are more important than custom ucodes..

BTW, Grazz is our newest developer and already off to a great start as you can tell. I'm still in the process of organizing and burning off 200 gigs of Data from my HD (About half done.) Then I will be joining and working with him on this.

Yes Grazz, you are making quite an impact on this emulator, welcome to this project, and may you be with us to the end, Keep up the good work Guys.

BTW....Not being funny Kreationz, why don't you buy a External Hard Drive, mate, a lot quicker, just Drag & Drop files over done in a few hours.
I use a Western Digital (WD) 1TB , its call "My Book".
Fantastic bit of kit, backs all my data files up, in case of a Laptop hard-drive failure.

Well, I'd like to be one of the first in this thread to thank Grazz. He's done an amazing job with only a few revisions! A 30% speedup in Lego Racers? That's quite impressive!

I also have one question, will any of this type of work (the current implemented commands or future ones) be a possible fix for z-fighting issues?

Once again, thanks Grazz!!

Nice to see you DEVs making such great progress on the EMU.
Great work everyone!

thanx so very much Grazz for your work so far! it looks amazing!!

its a great start and you have a lot of potential to be one of the DX64 gurus

keep up the fantastic job to everyone at DX64. this project is really getting better and better

RAYMAN WORKS?!

Yep, cannot see rayman though so it's still pretty unplayable

Keep up the good work grazz

Thanks Grazz!
And thanks for this thread! I was already looking for a changelog... There's like 2 alpha updates each day and I never knew what the changes were...

cheers!
