Direct64 v0.5 Fixes

posted in Utility Release by mfc on May 4th, 2004

Direct64, a DX9 GPU plugin for N64 emulators has seen a few quick bugfix releases recently. Here is what has changed from all three:

Fixed a bug in the blender that could cause fog to be enabled at the wrong time
Fixed a bug that could cause missing textures if an advanced filter is selected
Changed TEX_EDGE mode detection method (Paper Mario sprites bug fixed)
Added a combiner hack to fix Majora's Mask pause screen with new TEX_EDGE detection method
Improved texture rectangle texture coordinate generation when using a frame buffer texture (doesn't blur the background in Zelda pause screens)
Fixed a bug that caused slow-downs when changing microcodes mid-ROM (Majora's Mask motion blur faster now).
Fixed a matrix bug that could show up in some games (i.e. Diddy Kong Racing)
Updated the Banjo-Tooie shadow hack
Fixed a bug that caused alpha to get messed up when lighting was enabled (1080 Snowboarding board selection)
Improved TEX_EDGE support (1080 Snowboarding character-selection)
Improved OrkinSampling stability somewhat
Improved resolution switching, shouldn't be as troublesome as before
Removed some old code that was messing up cards with PS less than 1.4, it should work now (still untested)

You can download this from our N64 Plugins section.
