Tux Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 This binary is only about the sound associations, particularly those related to kof2001, so if you are not interested in this, you can skip this one because it changes the colors encoding so if you load it with a previous config file you'll need to use the "revert to" command from the colors menu in options. It also includes a new dll for libmpg123, which is included in the archive for this version, it will go to the dlls package soon for the next versions. You can see the details of what happened (and eventually get the audio tracks from mer-curious !) from there : http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mer-curious Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hey Tux! Just a quick feedback about the sound associations issues which I reported in the other thread: everything is working correctly now. The only issue I noticed is if a track start playing in the game, and then before it finishes you decide to enable the loop effect for it, when you return to the game the loop function will not take effect immediately, that is, the track will end and stop. I don't know if it's a limitation of the function, so I'm just reporting in case you didn't know about it. But I found a work-around for this: if you enable the loop function and click on "play track" in "Manage associations", the loop will work for that very turn of the game. Anyway, it would be just a tiny refinement since I cannot think of many use cases for this. I only stumbled upon it doing some later adjustments in my KOF2001 associations. Thank you so much for this very fast new release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmc2 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 for me, the background color has disappeared on the 32-bit version (there is no more blue), that'all ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you ask, the effect is not immediate, you need to close the dialog and open a new one to notice a change, so after choosing which colors to revert to the easiest path is to just quit and reload the emu.

Thank you so much for this very fast new release! Yeah it's very tiny indeed, I wouldn't have thought about using the loop in play track to change the setting when returning to game... Well considering that before this version returning to game would simply stop the current track which played, it's already a huge improvement that it does not stop anymore ! Actually the loop trick you find is the "exploit" of a bug, I forgot to restore the loop status when returning to game, so here it just takes the last loop status... ! Ok well I'll restore it from the track setting next time and not from the last value it had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad it wasn't that hard to fix in the end! 🙏 By the way, I've stumbled upon this site which collects shaders for various emulators: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Shaders_and_Filters In the Emu-France shaders pack for Raine/BSnes there are some which aren't bundled with Raine. I was thinking if it would be a good idea to link to this page/pack in Raine's downloads page? Maybe this could help new users know about them and try them. However, there are some shaders in this pack which didn't work here. The 2xSal-convert gave me a black screen and the two NTSC ones returned a syntax error. But except these there are some interesting ones such as XBRZx4, scanlines-3x and 5xBR-v3.7c+CRT.OpenGL(hunterk). But I still dream of Raine supporting the new GLSL shader format one day, which currently have much more shader options than we find in this pack, for example, for CRT/scanlines, see the numerous possibilities here:https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders/tree/master/crt/shaders I've already played with some of them in Retroarch and some work really well with these old arcade games. Anyway, just some suggestions to consider for future releases. Thank you so much again for your time and work. 👍 Edited March 2, 2022 by mer-curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neville Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I'm seeing some glitches in "Neo Turf Masters", Windows x86 build, using the Scanline-3x.shader. Don't know if this is normal. They appear in the hole overview screen only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tested the neocd version with this shader, apparently it's ok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much again for your time and work. 👍 Yeah yeah the pack was made hastily, I doubt any direct3d shader would work since raine uses opengl, although maybe ? (seems unlikely though !). So yeah some shaders are broken, they were clearly not even tested, just assumed to be compatible. For the glsl shaders, yeah good idea, but I am no shader expert, I already had some trouble to add the old shaders support, so... ! But I agree, it would be a good idea ! (actually the name is bad, all shaders for opengl use what is called glsl). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be disabled by default for this game in next version. Edited March 2, 2022 by Tux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
