Scanline testing AL's RDP

[theboy181]

I was doing some messing around with AL's code, and I managed to implement scanlines. I figured I would share for those who were interested.

I have tested on my Panasonic TV at a resolution of 1080P

I have included 3 downloads for a few different resolutions, and would like to implement a configure button in the future that would allow you to enable/disable scanlines, along with window size multiplier.

Please share your thoughts.

UPDATE:

There is the custom DLL now, and updated source:
You can now change the resolution and enable and disable various things.

BACKSPACE = Change Window Resolution
DEL = FSAA ON/OFF
HOME = Dither ON/OFF
END = Bilinear Filter HACK
PG DWN = Filters OFF except GAMA
PG UP = Scanlines ON/OFF

Thanks AIO for the mentoring. I learned a little today.

My thoughts are that you should consider using Git to show fork changes, because with DropBox I can't see them.

You can always fork it from AIO's repository and commit the changes highlighting your changes:

too n00b still.. but Ill get there..

  serration_pulses = 1;
	int validinterlace = (vitype & 2) && serration_pulses;
	if (!validinterlace)
		internal_vi_v_current_line = 0;
	int lowerfield = validinterlace && !(internal_vi_v_current_line & 1);
	if (validinterlace)
		internal_vi_v_current_line ^= 0;

Have you been able to test? I cant seem to fix the shaking effect during HighRes modes.

I changed your code for AL OLG 1.5

serration_pulses  = 0;
    lowerfield = serration_pulses & (ispal ? y1 < oldvstart : y1 > oldvstart);
    if (serration_pulses && y1 == oldvstart)
	{
	serration_pulses ;
		lowerfield = 0;
	}

This seemed to fix the garbled picture that was happening on the start screen for Rouge Squadron, but it still shakes..


The image is also not correct. Looks smoother on ALr98

Usually what involves the serrated pulses status bit is interlacing, like games at 480i not 240p.

So if scan-lines effect works it's probably because you found a way to omit the potential duplication of the same raster pixel rows. When I was going to get back to updating my fork of the plugin again I was going to look at using OpenGL to enforce working scan-lines.

too n00b still.. but Ill get there..

I kind of just assumed you thought it'd be easy enough, since that's what you did when you PR'd commits over for that VI/s and DL/s pull request for Project64.

its a definable a hack for sure! you can see that the hack only works for NTCS and not PAL. I am unsure if its the signal timing, the resolution, or something else that causes the issue.

Please let me know if its not working.

Pro tip: use Zilmar's RSP for a little speed boost when using LLE plugins.

I am very very impressed by this and I hope that you will soon provide some more info

What info are you looking for?

It's a spambot probably looks for the info on when he's allowed to post links to his scamwebsite
