I turn all filters off, flicker fixer to 0 and enjoy pixel perfect (of multiple thereof) emulation!

WOOOO!

waal · 09 October 2009, 10:48

Plus a 720*576 resolution with a 908*624 screen size and back to the roots !

killergorilla · 09 October 2009, 10:50

On my CRT yeah, I have to use a multiple of that to get it working crystal clear on my HDTV.

Does look superb though.

hmm... on my tv (32" lcd tosh), those settings look the best when the screen is paused, but any kind of movement and its flickering all over the place

killergorilla · 09 October 2009, 13:24

Then you need to set up your screensizes.

There are certain "pixel-perfect" resolutions which will show no flickering at all.

This is typical of LCDs (screen latency, etc.). I don't know if you can minimize the problem by changing some TV settings.
Plasmas are *much* better.

killergorilla · 09 October 2009, 17:12

This problem has nothing to do with the fact he's using an LCD

Adropac2 · 09 October 2009, 17:46

Just to mention that Xport didn't include software filters for Winuaex as memory was tight as it is

Antiriad · 09 October 2009, 19:37

Hey Killa, hows the whdx stuff going?

BobbyBobBob · 13 October 2009, 06:42

forgive me for being a bit thick but if my tv has 1366 X 768 resolution, and my xbox is set to 480i, what resolution should i set winuaex?

Retroplay · 13 October 2009, 17:28

I assume you have a PAL XBOX as you live in UK.
So set resolution to 720x576 and resize screen to 908x624.
That's the perfect setup for 480i.

killergorilla · 13 October 2009, 17:41

Yep, agreed.

Was going to reply earlier but forgot about this thread!

Antiriad: back burner I'm afraid, too much on, not enough KG to go round.

BobbyBobBob · 27 October 2009, 22:05

ok i have the screen set up perfectly (much better)

the last stumbling block seems to be getting 2 player mode set up... the 2nd controller works perfectly in the nes & snes emulators, but its the amiga i want :/

Antiriad · 27 October 2009, 22:30

Killa: fair enough m8y

We must work on cloning you

BobbyBobBob · 30 October 2009, 18:36

when i make a save state and load into it, the disks seem to disappear from the drives. so instead of monkey1.adf monkey2.adf etc, its just

Change Disk in Drive 1 - □1
Change Disk in Drive 2 - □1

is this normal or could there be a wrong path somewhere?

rare_j · 30 October 2009, 23:02

It looks like that if you enable auto save state loading, which appears to be broken. Disable that, then start the game, then load the state from the menu.

BobbyBobBob · 31 October 2009, 19:59

thanks, that worked.

real shame autoload wont work properly...

BobbyBobBob · 03 November 2009, 03:55

just a quick note to say i found out that if the games in the amigadisks folder are in zipped format, then autoloading works perfectly - correct disks still in drives etc.

Just a mention of a compatible memory stick for use with Xbox XBMC as it's a right pain getting one to show up

Recently bought this one having had success with Forza3 memory stick - the same one as this essentially

http://www.bmcdigital.co.uk/catalog/...r-xbox-360-ps3

It's the 2gb version though they do also go up to what is the 4gb limit for Xbox - i guess that would also work

Might not show up straight away in XBMC and you may want to plug it into the usb adaptor before you even turn it on to ensure this - after a few attempts it should show up as memory card 2 fat 16

Transfer speed is very fast on a pc but around 600k for Xbox

Iv'e tried lots of usb devices and only managed to get my camera showing up so it's good to finally find one of these that works

I've installed modchips in some XBOX-es, as well as I have been doing some softmod installes...
I really recommend getting a cheap DuoX2 GS chip, then you get much more control over your box. Then you can swap in a bigger HDD with no problems, because you have a new BIOS.. Everything in upgrading is easier.
