Why the date in the page is still 2019 and not 2020?  :biggrin:

Date is when the page was created - files updated all the time via robot.

Red Earth / War-Zard

In the game intro, several graphic errors appear:




Then, before reaching the title screen, another error appears:



And when you are in the player selection, as you change, certain errors appear as a vertical line:



Try the game in mame (0.220) and these errors do not appear.

Greetings  :smilie:

PD: With the game in motion it is better appreciated.

Pelucon8, hmm, this didn't happen before the recent changes, I wonder what's going on..  Will have to look into this tomorrow, maybe barbudreadmon can help :)
regarding lines in select between characters, are you sure this doesn't happen in mame? (I can't run it in mame to see)

@dink

Yes, before writing the post I tested the game to see if it behaved like the FBN. And well, in mame you don't have those vertical lines when you change characters in the selection menu.

The mame I used was one called "Arcade 0.220". Although I don't know if there will be any difference in the emulation with the official mame (except that the first one only loads arcade games).

Actually i can reproduce those issues with commits from 3 january, so it's not a regression (my first cps3 commit, the refresh rate change, was from 9 january). I think i mentioned some attract mode glitch (some vertical line appearing for 1 frame, mentioned somewhere on the libretro forum) on irc last year, i never noticed there were other ones.

There are lots of cps3 commits that i didn't backport from mame, what worries me though is the potential impact on performances.

Looking further into the warzard/redearth issue, https://i.postimg.cc/JzChwrX1/f1.jpg & https://i.postimg.cc/xCXkfs1Y/f2.jpg were regressions, i just committed the fix (thankfully, i remembered how i dealt with a similar issue on sfiii).
I confirm the other 2 have been there for a long time, actually you can see the vertical line a lot in the attract (see attachments)

barbudreadmon, it seems to happen when the sprites get zoomed, so I wonder if the key to the fix lies in the zooming code.

Thank you, barbudreadmon.

By the way, the error in the third photo was also solved:





The blue horizontal line is no longer shown.

Hmm that's kinda weird, i'm getting a similar screen with both old and new cps3 code, not exactly the same though, only the bottom part (i assumed the difference might be related to refresh rate or something), and still got the bug.

Pelucon8, please try now, I think the vertical lines in character select are fixed as well.

best regards,

... and now it's the time of some Megadrive homebrews by alekmaul/PortableDev. Deflektor and Rick Dangerous II are direct conversions from Atari ST, while Chip's Challenge is an adaptation from Atari Lynx.
(Emulation powered by dink, with a little help by me)
