Re: unable to load bitmap crosshair texture

You need a folder called Assets
and the bitmap files should be in there

Re: Model 3 official emulation on Yakuza games!

Because of the article, I doubt the statement very much and suspect SEGA uses Supermodel emulator's codes without any notification. I had wondered the same .. There are some differences between their emulation and ours, but it's extremely close. I said about the micro-textures, but the real3d also ...

Re: Down sample to 496x384

Since I changed the renderer design a bit this is quite easy to do I honestly don't think it improves the render quality that much (I tried it). For me the issue is the texture aliasing, which is quite jarring on the model 3 Look at the wall as he drives up to it https://youtu.be/nrAyVo3jeWg&t=1...

Re: S-buffer: how the Model 3 handles anti-aliasing and translucency

If I had some sort of c implementation I could probably translate it to shader code. But is it worth emulating at this level, would anyone even notice lol. It's a trivial change to make it fully opaque if both layers overlap. It might be possible in 1 pass. Opengl can write to multiple render target...

Re: S-buffer: how the Model 3 handles anti-aliasing and translucency

>To use complementary patterns, wouldn't there have to be a change in the pattern select bit? Do we ever see this changing? Yes, different level lod models have different pattern select bits. Most games set different layers for different transparency effects (sega rally, daytona, emergency call ambu...

Re: S-buffer: how the Model 3 handles anti-aliasing and translucency

Scroll fog as far as could work out doesn't draw to either of the transparency layers and it has transparency, sega bass fishing.

I tried drawing it to both layers and it creates all kinds of rendering issues.

Re: S-buffer: how the Model 3 handles anti-aliasing and translucency

Resolution is effectively halved for translucent polygons.

Is that really the case? You'd think we would be able to see that in video captures. I thought most early AA implementations basically just smoothed the edges of the polygons.

Re: power edition bug

I am not sure, I haven't dug that deep into it
just mostly noting the bug is here so we can look at it in the future :)
But yeah I suspect maybe jtag isn't working quite right
