mupen 64plus texture flickering after update (January 2017)

@Capt_MorganCreek said in mupen 64plus texture flickering after update (January 2017):

Is it possible to return to an older binary

If it helps pinpoint a workable binary, this texture flickering has been an issue since about one or two weeks before Christmas.

@mediamogul The 4.1 stock binary is definitely working, but I have no idea what the version is. Playing the games with a fresh install from November 5th works without flickering.

@Capt_MorganCreek If you think it's a problem with this plugin - https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64 it might be worth asking them - I will check when I have a chance.

@BuZz

I believe it's already a known issue. Looks like it was reported early last December.

@mediamogul Thanks - looks like there is a config workaround in there - I will test and set it as default.

@Capt_MorganCreek read through the thread and try the option they mention EnableCopyColorToRDRAM = 0

Capt_MorganCreek

@BuZz Yeah, just saw the thread. I'll probably try tomorrow and keep you updated.

@BuZz

I just tested by setting EnableCopyColorToRDRAM = 0 and the problem persists. I tried a few of the other settings mentioned in the thread as well, but for some reason they're being overwritten at launch.

I have reverted the GLideN64 plugin to before this problem was introduced. When it is resolved upstream I will switch back to the latest code. You can update retropie-setup and update from source, or wait 20 mins or so until the binaries have been updated.

Capt_MorganCreek

Yay, now it works without flickering!

Thanks!

@BuZz Just installed the new binary of lr-glupen and it seems to suffer from the same flickering problem, although it is much less severe than ithe was in mupen..

BuZz

@Capt_MorganCreek similar codebase. The Dev of that will likely fix the issue for both when has some time to look into it. It's a RPI issue.
