Good news, but why did you post this in the Off-topic discussion?
Yeah!!! :)
Well, people, I've finally got past a big problem in GPU emulation (as far as I can tell 
NextGL v1.6 is a lot more accurate in handling the DMA chain now. You know (maybe), so it now more accurately emulates the real PSX's GPU DMA chain process
So... Now NGL is the only plugin that can actually run some of these cool demos/intros/cracktros that I have found around the 'net. The one I've been focusing on was Thor's cracktro #1. All other GPUs that I have tried it on either give a complete blank screen or crash... It might sound like I'm full of myself right now, but I can't think properly about anything, so maybe that's what's causing it ???
Anyway... Here's some proof, I'll keep updating if there's any more cool progress to be made

Putting a topic that's on topic into off-topic? That's kind of strange.Originally posted by NickK

I'll put this into misc PSX Emu discussion because that's probably the best place to put it. Or at least it's better than off-topic. Heh. Cool news, NickK. Keep up the good work.Fixed semi transparency problems
Purty blob lights
ur really makin awesome progress
hope to see Ngl1.6 very soon

It should be easy me to finish it up this exam week when I have a lot of free time 
And what about Next 3d?Originally posted by NickK

Neway these shots looks quite nice.
Hey, don't worry, I've been working on that for a while too, but there are some annoying D3D specific problems to hammer out... So, new versions (I'm estimating) of both of these plugins should be out somewhat close to each other.Originally posted by prafull

I also started a PCX screen writer, but I'd suspect that most people would like the BMP format to be used, though
That'd be cool. I've reordered the texture format detection sequence, so lets see how it works
A good hint for speed could be to do just your basic code-cleaning. I've heard so many stories about how just plain cleaning up the code on something can enhance it's performance.
Then again, I'm assuming that's what you'rei n the process of doing
