GSdx

Nobody ever contacted me *suprise*

Shocker!@

Like I said there reason why I stoped reporting the issue, they dont want to be bothered

[MenDude]

i think they all use dx9, which i believe is fine on GSDX, it's only the DX11 codepath that is affected.

ePSXe can use up to DirectX 6.

ePSXe can use up to DirectX 6.

It can use DX7 at best or OPENGL depending on the Plugin Petes D3D driver 1.77, Petes D3D6 1.77, Petes OpenGL2 driver 2.9. There maybe be other gpu drivers for it that use new verison of DX but i not aware of them as i have not kept up with ps1 and epsxe development, I mostly just use Petes OpenGL2 drivers 2.9 when I use epsxe

Pete also has an OGL1 driver. But we are getting off topic here. GSdx also works with PS1 emulators(software mode only)

Oh, that one uses DX7? Damn. XD

As I hinted above: Back to GSdx discussion please. Feel free to make a PSX emulator thread in chatterbox if you like.

Any way that gsdx can do something like PPSSPP recently did by allowing only a small number of "InvalidateAll" operations per frame on the texture cache or something similar to speed things up when playing on high resolutions?

You can't compare dolphin to pcsx2 like that, the graphics units of the consoles they are emulating are COMPLETELY different. Hardware mode relies on compatibilities, with the PS2 there was so much custom/off spec stuff it makes it extremely difficult to emulate things correctly without a massive speed hit (or at all).

As for a higher resolution Software mode, it's probably possible, it has been discussed, but due to the complexity of the design and how horrible it is to follow gabests code, nobody would even want to try tackling it, and again, a speed hit to an already slow system, Desmume can afford it because the DS has a relatively simple graphics chip which doesn't require much power.

I started this discussion here http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Dragon-Qu...II-shadows but I think GSDX thread is better place to discuss about GSDX. I personally dont care much about performance and I can play with 10 fps or less if it means high resolution software rendering. But in my opinion GSDX is not that slow and GSDX is multithreaded.
Gpubladesoft which is single threaded is most likely slower at higher resolutions than software mode GSDX would be at higher resolutions besides I think overclocked Haswell shoud be enough for at least 4x resolution with less demanding games and processors and instruction sets will be even faster in the future.
So you mean that Gabest code is so convoluted no one knows how to implement such option ? Besides GSDX itself can increase internal resolution with software rendering but only in PSX mode so implementing same option in PS2 mode should be possible.

It's still an open source project.
when do you think you'll be able to show the progress you've made on gsdx coding ?

It's still an ipen source project.

I cant I am not emulator developer or even programmer.
