I wonder if it is possible to add a FILTERING ON/OFF switch?
It could be wonderful to have the games running on sharp pixels!
That bilinear/blurry mode makes me feel like I need glasses!
Also, a 240p mode just like the SNES, NES, GEN and PCE emu could be AWESOME!
Hello, wiisixtyfour, may be you can answer me.. how can i fix a input problem with the need for speed for wiisx? the first need for speed, the game apparently runs well, but isn't reckognize the controls, no matter the config
IOS202 was faster than IOS58 (when matguitatist did the Wiisx mod, maybe now IOS58 is faster with latest devkitppc & libogc?).
Which one from cIOS202 and cIOS56 has a faster USB access?
cIOSx d2x base 56 has great speed result with USBloaders, could it be used too? maybe with meta.xml arguments to select the IOS to use?

Some SNES games output in 512x480, but usually for still images, menu's and for displaying fonts, off the top of my head (And -maybe- some mode7), Dark Law comes to mind as one that raises the internal res for the font.
The only advantage to running in the internal res of the system or game [IMO] is for screenshotting purposes, or system requirements. Just plug a SNES in to a tv, and it's going to output at the TV's resolution, remember HD tv's weren't quite out the door yet back then, so it got analog scaling, and signal degredation which made the games look less blocky and pixelated.
/offtopic
From what I understand though this is not an improvement of the emulation, and just adds the new libs for better compatibility with hardware

That's not true.
N64 supports 256 × 224, 320 × 240 (non-interlaced) and 640 × 480 (interlaced) with only a few games supporting the latter, most games using 320x240.
PS1 supports also 256 x 224 (non-interlaced) up to 640 x 480 (interlaced) and again, most games used non-interlaced video modes.
The recompiled version seems faster, the music is less laggy
But the game I want to play doesn't work with 2.1 (it freezes the wii on first enemy attack)
I've tried to recompile 2.0 with latest libogc and PPC23 too.
but it didn't work (stop when creating the .elf)
linking ... WiiSX.elf

maybe some names changed in latest PPC and libogc?
@Wiisixtyfour: did you just compile the 2.1 sources without changing anything in the sources or did you replace the old command with new one?
PS:
The game I want to play is Rhapsody ~ A musical Adventure.
or maybe someone know what changed between 2.0 and 2.1 and I could fix the problem without waiting for 2.2?
Thank you Matguitarist, you are always here when it's WiiSX related
I changed it, but now it seems readdir doesn't have the same argument number than dirnext, and it expects struct DIR* instead of DIR_ITER*
I can use Libogc 1.8.6, but the purpose was to try with latest devkit improvement, like the build he made for 2.1 on the first post.
I can still use your old mod03, it was enough to play, but I wanted to see if it was still a little laggy with the songs in Rhapsody game
As you may have figured out, I compiled the latest WiiSX source available with the latest libogc/devkitPPC at the time (which was before PPC23 and libogc 1.8.7). I didn't have to change any code, it compiled fine. Now that I updated to ogc 1.8.7 it does not compile.
Matguitarist linked to a good topic explaining how to make the change.
It needs a little rewrite of the folder listing loop. I didn't change anything yet.
Edit:
I made the change (I don't know if I did it correctly, but it's compiling and listing iso correctly on USB device).
Code:
ÂÂDIR* dp = opendir( file->name );
ÂÂÂÂif(!dp) return FILE_BROWSER_ERROR;
ÂÂÂÂstruct dirent * temp = NULL;
ÂÂÂÂstruct stat fstat;
ÂÂÂÂ// Set everything up to read
ÂÂÂÂchar filename[MAXPATHLEN];
ÂÂÂÂint num_entries = 2, i = 0;
ÂÂÂÂ*dir = malloc( num_entries * sizeof(fileBrowser_file) );
ÂÂÂÂ// Read each entry of the directory
ÂÂÂÂwhile( (temp = readdir(dp)) && (temp != NULL) ){
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ// Make sure we have room for this one
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂif(i == num_entries){
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ++num_entries;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ*dir = realloc( *dir, num_entries * sizeof(fileBrowser_file) );
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ}
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂsprintf((*dir)[i].name, "%s/%s", file->name, temp->d_name);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ(*dir)[i].offset = 0;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ(*dir)[i].sizeÂÂ = fstat.st_size;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ(*dir)[i].attrÂÂ = (fstat.st_mode & S_IFDIR) ?
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ FILE_BROWSER_ATTR_DIR : 0;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ++i;
ÂÂÂÂ}
I compiled WiiSX beta 2.0 (the one working with Rhapsody).
Compiling with devkitPPC23 didn't improved the loading speed.
Maybe because WiisX beta2.0 it's still using usb1 so its speed can't be improved.
I'll try with matguitarist WiiSX2.0 USB2 mod
edit: I can't compile your mod. "no rule to make utils/ehcmodule.elf.o"
And I can't use your .o files, they have your desktop path hardcoded.
Well, it was just a test I wanted to do, and check if Rhapsody worked better.
It's working good enough with WiiSX 2.0, I'll play the game with this version until the 2.1 bug is fixed.

Sorry Cyan, this time i didn't see your post !
You can't compile it because newer version of libogc have ehcmodule include in it.
No more utils folder need. I modify the makefile and the GamecubeMain.cpp to use the latest libogc with IOS58 support.
Sometime the mod work without problem and sometime with other HDD it seem to be slower ...
I prefered to use the old USB2 202 mod who work great for me but here the correct version with source : WiiSX USB2 MOD 05
If i got more time, i'll try to check if i can fix the usb problem with some disk.
