What Desmume revision is yours?

I got the last from here: http://buildbot.orphis.net/desmume/

 

[papermanzero]

I used the same.

 

[pol40]

I used the same.

Please can you share your desmume.ini?

Nevermind, i got it.
It's the GL TexScale option.

 

[papermanzero]

Ok. =)
I created some pictures from Dragon Quest IX.

Wow, Spirit Tracks looks a lot like Windwaker in terms of Graphics + Models.

Fairly certain that's by design

Well, i meant more about Quality than Design.

Using OpenGL crashes the emulator.

For what it's worth, the "GPD XD" runs this very nice with full screen (I map a button to swap screens). It's nice to play these games in full speed and high res

No idea if anyone else got this problem, But i use this version of DesMuMe as default, can't go back to the other one, too.. low-res.. but, i have an issue with certain games displaying colours wrong

High Resolution OFF

Spoiler: OFF

And High Resolution ON

Spoiler: ON

EDIT: Must be one of the bugs with OpenGL, but SoftRasterizer runs so slowly..

pretty damn awesome but i need frame skip 2 to get 50+ fps on 3x res

Does it happen only with sprite based games? Anyway, you should probably just turn off high resolution in games like that, since it doesn't help at all.

Judging by the release date on the last rev the project might be dead in terms of updates,
I tested "Mario Hoops 3-on-3" Using my low end gaming setup which consists of the following =
Gtx 960 4GB
Core i3 4160
8GB DDR3 Ram

Used 4X Res and got around 32FPS on average the program it's self is nice it is just not optimized very well.

Did you try the latest official DeSmuMe build?

no i Used the build provided although i believe it is 9.1 which is the same as the official build.

You guys should know that the provided screenshot is a best-case scenario. Very few games will see that much improvement.
These are more realistic.

Still looks great! Will definitely try this out!

Holly fuck they got texture filtering working, it looks beautifull-

 

[Deleted User]

Looks like a 3DS game with the hack.

So I was going around on the Google Machine last night, and found out some awesome bootleg games and eventually, this. Some user of Desmume decided to make a modified build that renders high resolution versions of your favorite DS games. Here's one screenshot to show you the stark difference:

​

Want the build of Desmume that includes hi-res? Go nuts:
​

32-bit and 64-bit builds: http://shikaver01.webcrow.jp/desmume_x432r/index.html


However, SoftRasterizer is the best option to use at the moment. OpenGL is currently semi-broken with this and seems to only work with some games.

To enable Hi-Res:
1. Start Desmume
2. Go to Config -> High Resolution 3D Renderer, then choose from X2, X3, or X4, you can play with the other settings to your liking
3. ???
4. Profit!

HA! I love South Park
