emu4crt Mednafen mod - update 1.26.1

[Dalba]

Hi @Dalba,
Can you attach stdout.txt?

Are you test with switchres option? Or only with native and super?

EDIT: Ups, here too! Fixed. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OdpKdz3EETaI7O5CVVMzuJUT3EhGT_3T/view?usp=sharing

I will update git too, thank you!

Thanks for being so reactive !
But in seiken densetsu 3, while menu is fixed on my side too, message boxes still appear zoomed in 2x like my screenshot below.
Tested in native and super resolution mode.

New screenshot of the problem :



Do you have the same behavior too or is it just on my setup ?

[psakhis]

Isn't your setup, here happens too with snes and snes_faust

I'll check this

This game is constantly changing to 512/256 when text appears (so when will be fixed the way to go is super resolution)

[psakhis]

I think now it's fixed
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gqNcEVcXhQRKvmQguDbjVagZdzdezqOZ/view?usp=sharing

This game raster differents widths on some scanlines; i needed to change some code about resolution on X.

If you no detect any problem, i will upload updates on git.

Thank you very much ! It's now fixed on my setup too ! Play much better in super resolution, as there's a lot of switching in native.

nice came late to the party , how does the mednafen emu4crt handle the STV arcade games compared with Mame.
like Die Hard Arcade in mame runs all bugged.

[Moksi]

had some trouble setting it up but i just replaced the exec over an older version ,  i can use the mame romset i suppose?

[psakhis]

Just put decompressed stvbios on firmware folder and your mame roms work with zip format (7z isn't supported)

Anyone tried to set display2 in emu4crt? I'm trying to force Shienryu on second display (vertical) but no luck so far.

[psakhis]

Anyone tried to set display2 in emu4crt? I'm trying to force Shienryu on second display (vertical) but no luck so far.

Check this value on mednafen.cfg. Test with 1 or 2.

;Display to use with fullscreen mode.
video.fs.display -1

[haynor666]

I think I tried already in emu4crt and official mednafen.

emu4crt [game] -video.fs.display 2 didn't work. Also creating shienryu.cfg and setting there video.fs.display 2 didn't work as well.

Switchres has in own option this method appears do not work.

[psakhis]

The file for overload config is shienryu.ss.cfg

You can check stdout.txt looking for which display is set, look for: video_settings.fs_display

[haynor666]

Ok, I only miss ss in config name. Now it's working but worth to mention that switchres changes resolutions on both displays not only on second.

Thanks for help psakhis

[psakhis]

Are you using switchres, super or native?

[haynor666]

Super for most time. I think I have only 640x480 as the only native resolution.

[psakhis]

Ok, you can try using switchres with super resolutions

 -shienryu.ss.switchres.ini with 2560x0 or 3520x0 on user_mode (the super mode do you want)
 -shienryu.ss.cfg with video.resolution_switch switchres

[haynor666]

I'll try this today.

But from my own examination - st-v during boot changes resolutions couple times. Used resolutions are 448x352, 224x352 and finally during game 240x320.

[psakhis]

Yes, it depends on st-v bios too. If configured tate or not.

[haynor666]

I had to use native option for ST-V because for unknown reason 3520x480 even if it's generated by VMMaker correctly does not show in Arcade OSD and mednafen cannot use as well.

For 352x240 and 704x480 are generated and appears to be working correctly at least for Cotton Bomerang.

I had nothing but problems with using super resolutions on stv. Going native did the trick for me. It's just a couple of resolutions.

[haynor666]

Yeah, a bit strange.

BTW. Is there possibility map F8(insert coin) to button?

[psakhis]

Of course, look for "command.insert_coin" in .cfg file

Hi,
I tried installing the emu4crt package 1.29-A18.5.1 on latest GA distro (updated) with Mednafen 1.29, but I get the following error message:

Is there a way I can fix this?

[psakhis]

Hi,
Why not 1.31? You have PKGBUILD for it on https://github.com/psakhis/emu4crt/releases

[contemplator]

Had some issues with the system, so anything unstable looked like a no-go 
I managed to reinstall 1.29 .. good old mednafen!
I will try 1.31 for ST-V when I grab some time. Tnx!

[psakhis]

New emu4crt A20 released based on mednafen 1.31, major changes for gun games, tested only on GroovyArcade and Guncon2.

All information on git https://github.com/psakhis/emu4crt

[phasermaniac]

Just tested with psx. For me the flashing is working only for one of my two guns (p2 in my case).
As far I read Mednafen doesn't support rawinput to support multiple lightguns in "mouse mode" so I'm using guns as joysticks, am I wrong?

[psakhis]

I'm using it as a joystick, with mouse mode i haven't achieved working properly on Mame.

Are you using Windows or Linux?

Shader it's implemented for any guncon port psx.input.portX.guncon.trigger but i can't test here, i only have 1 guncon2.

[phasermaniac]

Maybe another person with two guns can test, for me only one flashes.
I'm using windows. For me mame is working nice with both guns in "mouse mode"
By the way, do you know if Beardypig for guncon driver works in windows?
I'd like to test it but never compiled anything

[psakhis]

I will try to check with mouse as guncon on port2.

For Windows i tried this Beardypig based driver http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,166121.0.html but i have random disconnects.

On Mame, the calibration tool seems isn't working, something weird with config happens.

EDIT: Your idea for a shader works pretty well for me on Mednafen, thanks for it.

[phasermaniac]

Thanks to you by all the work.
by the way, do you think ArcCabView or reshader can support this? I ask because this way maybe could be applied to m2emu, supermodel, flycast, arcadepc...

[psakhis]

Probably something general is possible with a monitor service for capture inputs and enable shader.

I have doubts about latency; in Mednafen shader or Mame lua plugin, input is captured on the frame and as much applied shader on the next blit, so at most only have 1 frame of lag.

The most important thing is only read x,y position when shader is applied, with emulator we can control that, i doubt it with external programs.

[psakhis]

@phasermaniac, you can try https://github.com/psakhis/emu4crt/releases/tag/1.31-A20b

[phasermaniac]

Thanks now it works for both guns.
Anyway I have to test it better, it doesn't work as good as Mame with lightguns in "mouse mode"

The most important thing is only read x,y position when shader is applied, with emulator we can control that, i doubt it with external programs.

Well I used an external solution for years, and it works. The problem is the external flasher I use is too agressive (no opacity options), and seems to produce some "tearing" effect (maybe sync doesn't match).
I use autohotinterception to launch the external flasher, delay and shorten the trigger press. But I coudn't find a way to create a better flashing that works in fullscreen games

[psakhis]

In my case is working great on Linux. How are you set axis input?

[phasermaniac]

 joystick 0x00030b9a016a01000004000800000000 abs_0-+g
But I have to look at the way I convert mice to joysticks, I do with autohotinterception too

[psakhis]

If your gun can be work as a mouse, do you tried it?

mouse 0x0 cursor_x-+
mouse 0x0 cursor_y-+

[phasermaniac]

Yes, seems to work better. The downside is as far I know Mednafen doesn't support multiple mice. As I read it's because sdl2 doesn't support rawinput, or am I wrong?

[psakhis]

You can set id on mouse ¿right?

For example for your gun:
mouse 0x00030b9a016a01000004000800000000 cursor_x-+

The second gun, has a different id.

[phasermaniac]

I thought only directinput mouse could be used.
And how I get this mice id? In device manager I get something like HID#VID_0B9A&PID_016A&Col01#6&2b30ddbf&2&0000.

[phasermaniac]

mouse 0x00030b9a016a01000004000800000000 cursor_x-+

Can't get it work. Where do you get that id?
Thanks
