HAY GUYS

Hi there,

I have a strange request. Someone with a PSX bios file and a Playstation ISO / disc (AND a Windows OS) could get the PSX emulator Xebra
NYO$B%C%H$d$m$&$<(J (download link at the bottom of the page)
and test with the OpenGL stretching mode (enable in the graphics options).

I'm currently trying to get this HW-accelerated stretching mode to work with wine, but I don't get any visuals after activating it. Because I have no windows OS on this system I can't compare results when the application is executed in a native environment. Maybe it even fails there, who knows?

So someone with a bit of free time could probably do a quick check what happens on Windows if this stretching mode is activated.

And no, I'm not the author. I just want to file a bugreport on the wine bugtracker so the guys can fix it. But without knowing how the expected results should look like I can't do a thing.

Thanks,
liquid

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, ePSXe is surely not the best PSX emulator. And certainly not version 1.6.0
i) ePSXe 1.6.0 is old (very old, around 4 years) - talk about bitrot
ii) it's unmaintained (mainly because of (i))
iii) it's PSEmuPro plugin-system based, which is certainly flawed (async CD-rom access for example)
iv) it's not open-source (that's a problem especially on linux since gtk+ version 1 is slowly dying and the only available binary has a lot of gtk+ bindings)
v) the source was lost
vi) the version step from 1.5.2 to 1.6.0 broke a lot of compatibility, this would have been fixed but... (see (v))

OK, that's already far off-topic. I wasn't going to discuss the role of ePSXe for the PSX emulation scene. What I want to do is get Xebra to work with wine AND use OpenGL stretching.
My primary motivation is not to emulate games (I could get a real PSX for that, these are very cheap on ebay) but to get this software working. For me it's more a technical aspect, as I'm especially interested in emulation techniques and implementations.

Coming back to ePSXe. I know how to setup this emulator. So please, no further discussion about it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
