          Ooh, you make this sound like a game!

          ...add the lines with the + at the beginning in src/game/singe/singeproxy.cpp

          Done. BOOM!

          lives_fixed.png

          directional_arrow_fixed.png

          So, MUCH improved. You can tell by the directional arrow that it's still catching a little of the alpha blending (and turning it black) but again, HUGE improvement!

          EDIT: Tried SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND which I'm assuming was default, 'cause was effectively back to square 1. Tried SDL_BLENDMODE_ADD and SDL_BLENDMODE_MOD, which resulted in nothing rendering.

            Yep, saw same result.

            I agree this setting is better, but the optimal look is with this Singe blending off SDL_BLENDMODE_NONE and SDL_HINT_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY linear back on.

            Flicking through Daphne games (unaffected by the BLEND), nearest provided too stark a rendering to me on lair scoreboards etc..

              Setting SDL_BLENDMODE_NONE effectively turns off SHADED and BLENDED font quality options. Trade-offs, for certain. Blended works nicely for the font in Time Traveler, but that's because the background is mostly black. Otherwise, the black edges can be a bit distracting.

                SDL_BLENDMODE_NONE also causes a big issue in johnnyrock overlay....

                Thinking command line argument to switch off again... But getting late here, so will look at again tomorrow.

                  Makes sense. Great and unexpected progress/changes today. This has been fun to play with, so thank you again. Have a good rest and a great Easter.

                    release 2.2.10 - roslof fix
                      * Disable long time default SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND producing
                        clunky Singe graphics.
                      * -fullscreen_scale_nearest to override linear fullscreen
                        scaling, again degrading Singe graphics on certain displays.
                    

                    Thanks for all the help.

                    Happy Easter to all.

                            BUT they are not a straight drop-in, you need to do a bit of work :) Read back through this thread.

                             

                            • Obtain Singe 2 game - you will actually only need the .mp4 from this file. Unless you are porting yourself.

                            • Then recode the .mp4 to .m2v and .ogg files needed by Hypseus - details on the repo below.
                              You only need to do this once, but the faster the PC the better.

                              https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows - works well

                            • Then take the peripheral data from the directories on the new repo here: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus_singe_data

                            • Finally add the .m2v and .ogg file to that new directory and the rest is as per usual singe game setup. (Do not include any other old data)

                             
                            Singe2 games (that we have tried thus far) are working, but new ones need porting over (which is fairly straight forward ).
                            This is what the new repo holds data on. Link in my signature.

                            These are Fan Made games, so you can alter many aspects of what they do.

                            If we get enough interest in a specific game, and I can find it, I will look to port over.

                            OR you guys can attempt it, the details of steps are on in the new rep README

                            The only thing I would ask is you push the .singe and peripheral files back to the repo, for others to share. NO Video content!

                             

                            • As a last note, Singe 2 games with mouse support may be problematic, so best to avoid, but as I see it, most aren't... but happy tackle if enough interest.

                            • As a last, last note - As I said these are Fan Made games so if you have video content, and the game doesn't exist, you can write the game yourself. Do some Googling and learn a little bit about LUA scripting. You can copy large chunks of an existing game .singe code and alter to your needs.

                              Hypseus Singe 2.2.10 - More games ported

                              Excluding video encoding time, it takes under 5 minutes to port a game with practice.

                               
                              Games make an API call, I have implemented a pseudo API call for all new Singe 2 calls ported thus far (limited set used by developers currently).

                              You may encounter a new one if you port a new game so I need to see the error in the logs.

                              For those interested, I documented the API function lists here on last commit:

                              https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe/blob/master/doc/singe.txt

                                @dirtbagxon Just did the conversion from all Daphne to this new Hypseus/Singe format. Was super easy per the instructions...took roughly 15 min, only because I had to simlink 20 folders...

                                So cool to see Road Blasters and the other games that never worked all working and displaying scores.

                                Thank you for your hard work on this. It's great!

                                    Ok, so I have added joystick support to Singe games that support mice (gun games): maddog, crimepatrol, spacepirates etc....

                                    Could I ask you guys to test this out with your various joysticks? (It is the RetroPie branch + joystick addition)

                                    git clone --single-branch --branch singe-joystick https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe.git
                                    

                                    It takes additional argument of:   -js_range <1-10>   to alter joystick sensitivity: defaults to '5' currently.

                                      It works great, and still retains mouse/trackball/lightgun functionality. With a DualShock 4, I created a few custom commands to use a value of 7, which is just about right for games like Mad Dog, where some scenes have you scanning a room for randomized targets. 5 is a little too slow. 8 and above and you start losing fidelity.

                                      I think the default is fine, as people can adjust to their liking.

                                      Great work with these updates!

                                        It takes additional argument of:   -js_range <1-10>   to alter joystick sensitivity: defaults to '5' currently.

                                        It works great, and still retains mouse/trackball/lightgun functionality.

                                        On native video resolutions the default setting works fine. I had some guy on the repo who was forcing the resolution using -x 1920 -y 1080 -ignore_aspect_ratio which made it a little more interesting. It needed greater range.

                                        The range is now <1-20>  but with 5  still as the default. So many setups out there to cater for.

                                        20  is nuts in most cases.... but someone's joystick and resolution combination might need it.

                                        I assume you weren't forcing a resolution change ?

                                          Correct. No weirdness. Really not an issue here. I just needed a little extra speed to ensure sequenced targets that appear on opposite edges of the screen can be shot more easily.

                                            This look great. I'm wondering if Dragonrise joysticks work with this emulator. I never could get it to work with the regular Daphne emulator as I understood it's only hardcoded for analog type joysticks or joysticks that respond as keyboard clicks. When I've run jstest /dev/input/js0, I get -32767 to 32767 for the joystick axis. I've looked at singeinput.ini but I'm not sure how or if can be modified to work with my joystick.
