Nice discussion going on in this page.
Some thoughts:
Can the RX and TX forks just merge their code already, so we get the best of both? I have that we have 2 emulators that I have to switch between.
That makes absolutely zero sense. This is one of the reasons I update the manuals/readme/first post a lot: so you all can read the differences. You see, the whole focus of RX, and the very big reason why I started work on it, was to learn a bit on how to improve the emulators to my liking, and also to specifically
not use changes that affected speed, specially for the weaker brother in the Nintendo's PowerPC processor consoles, which is the Gamecube, the very first console that started myself on the path of homebrew, compiling minor changes 15+ years ago, and awesome retro memories, circa 2006.
This being said, you can't just throw them and merge them, as RX uses a different core to keep up with full speed. This is exactly what I wanted from the very beginning. As
@Tanooki16 perfectly encapsulated, this is the same reason why there are 4 Snes9x cores on Retroarch, they are complementary.
You improve emulation accuracy, speed is going to get hit somewhere between. It's the rule for emulation on all platforms. Consoles can't be upgraded in specs. So now you see why you can't just always upgrade accuracy indefinitely?
Sorry, i haven't read both threads. I have used GX before but what are the differences of RX and TX forks?
The whole point of the threads is for users to also read the info, understand and collaborate...
Thanks for replying. So i am sure both forks will improve more in the future. If you were to choose between GX, TX and RX and use as a main one for SNES, which is currently the best?
Again, you use what your needs dictate. There is no best for
everyone.
The whole point of having
options is to encourage the user to use the one(s) that fit their
needs. We pour a lot of heart into updating the threads with highlights, photos, info, etc., and in my specific case, I strive in maintaining
RX's readme updated, so show us that you care and enjoy the software, by reading too!
Like Trunks and Goten
joking aside it is not possible because not based on the same core. but despite everything they are complementary, you need both ^^
BTW, cool initiative for exposing the sound options, that menu kinda felt very lonely before.
