Well, quoting Extrems himself:
I didn't read correctly the first time and misinterpreted.
when he said the official SDK "was doing it that way" I thought he meant the correct way (as he was talking about that patch and fix) and that libogc was wrong.
but now I understand that the official SDK had that bug, and libogc mimic'd that behavior. So, official games can't benefit from it, but homebrew can now have proper display in 480p if recompiled with that fix.
What I understand now is official games might be able to use it if they are launched from a loader and don't reload their own video mode. if they keep using the current video mode set by the loader before launch, then it could benefit from the fix too. if it forces a video mode reload, it'll be gone.
am I right?
Epic job Cyan on the start of this guide. Way more than I could ask for already.
Have you always been this active on the Wii forums and what keeps you going?
Thank you.
too bad you didn't see the pictures, I'll have to add them back.
I'm here since the beginning! before even GBAtemp existed. At first, I was only lurking and learning everything about GBA, I started helping people with the release of the NDS, then the Wii, then I helped developers by debugging and reporting to them, to finally being part of that loader's project.
I like to learn how things are working more than using them. I read a lot so I can help others, even for consoles I don't own or use. lot of reading, all answers are there, somewhere !
what keeps me going? I only know do to that.
I like helping, but don't have enough time to do it properly now.
I don't have that much passion to other things, everything else feels blend and like I'm wasting my time. development and hacking is always interesting and innovative.
