Changelog April 2018

Hello!
Time to monthly change log:
*  Logan McNaughton ported some advanced features to GL ES. For example, depth based fog in Beetle Adventure Racing should run on recent GPU with GLES 3.X. This fix is available in latest  
Mupen64Plus FZ for Android.
*  Logan McNaughton rewrote N64 Depth Compare feature. I wrote that feature long ago to support special depth compare modes, which have no direct analogues on PC hardware. It helps to correctly emulate many games, but h...

Changelog March 2018

Hello! Traditional monthly changelog:

This bug was inherited yet from glN64 :( It caused various mysteriously looking texture issues, see  https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64/issues/1716 for example. Another old issue fixed as well: 2018-03-31 06:50:13 +0000 UTC View Post

* Logan also cleaned texture caching code and fixed performance i...

Changelog January-February 2018

Hello!

The list of changes for previous month is rather short. I'm working in a new company since the beginning of 2018. I need to learn a lot of things on my new work and I have no free time during the week. However, some tasks have been done on weekends:

* Fixed texture filtering when mip-mapping is off. It is not recommended to disable mip-mapping  emulation, but if you want to do it for some reason you can do it again.

* Fixed rendering in widescreen resolutions when fra...

Lighting fixes

Today I fixed bug with lighting, which infiltrated in code ten months ago.  The bug described here: https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64/issues/1417
It spoiled lighting in many games including Zelda MM.
Now, when this bug is fixed, and when point lighting correctly implemented  Zelda MM should have no more lighting issues.

F-Zero fixes

After successful implementation of microcode for  Star Wars - Rogue Squadron, olivieryuyu and me are continuing to work on High Level Emulation issues. olivieryuyu decoded the method used by F-Zero microcode to add "reflections" on cars in game. It was missing in HLE mode until now. "Reflections" are in quotes because it is not actually a reflection. I'll explain it in my blog: http://gliden64.blogspot.ru.
