OK here's the usual rundown, Celeron 600 @ 900, 128Mb, TNT2 ultra with NickK's NextGL1.3 MMX.

Great job, NickK. Every game I tried improved since the last version. I still can't get GT2 to play though. At least I got past the first two screens in GT2 by waiting about 20sec, but I got an error which made me reboot before I even bought a car. Also I tried using a savestate to start a race(like I did in NextGL1.1 & 1.2), but I got the same general program error.

Well on to the pics...Soul Reaver first

Did you try using the "fast MDEC" option? It might speed up the MDECs a bit!

Also, about the GT2 and trails. That's only because the back buffer is never cleared. Still working on that. Thanks for the pics!

Yep and its working great with ePSXe. I just started playing it for the first time. Actually I need to start over. I just realized you're supposed to go to the teleport rooms before saving.

NickK,
The Mdecs play fine, its just the 3D rendered cutscenes that are very slow. I'll try it anyway though just in case.

BTW here's a shot from Silent Hill. I guess you probably have a ways to go before you implement something like mask bit.

And here's a shot from Bushido Blade 2. It all looks plays great except the grey shadows and the Mdecs dont play at all. Just a blank screen with sound.

Cool

Hey, could you do me a favor? Try turning on the extended "real time" debug output and re-run some of the games that were giving you problems/slow downs. Check the console window frequently, and see if any info is dumped there. Because if a page removal or CLUT change occurs, then you'll see it there. (Which can slow down the rendering a lot.)

Thanks!

Currently investigating a major slow down problem in Reloaded. Could be the source of your problems too

Sure, it's the least I could do. Hey I can't code my own plugin, but I'm glad to help how I can. It won't even begin to measure up to the amount of time you put into your plugin. So its a deal, you pull your polygons together and I'll stop the kittens, Okay? I'll put up some findings tomorrow since I got a day off.

Here's all I could get out of GT2. I think the info got cut off at the top because the DOS box can only show a certain number of lines. Also I included the error details just in case they're useful. The info I was getting when browsing through the game menus all seemed pretty normal till I clicked on a car dealership. That's when I got this...

Thanks for the useful info! I've actually recently discovered a similiar error when in the BIOS, and I've already have an idea on how to fix it

I'm getting GT2 soon anyway, so I'll be able to fix any problems that are releated to that game as well. If you find anything else that's interesting, please tell me! Thanks again!

Hi, I haven't read the boards in a couple of days.
You're making great progress on your GPU. I'll be sure to test out my games with your new versions in the future when my shedule allows me to.
