Todo List for Surreal v2

High Priority
--------------

Launcher
   Make Launcher create the xboxpagefile.sys ready with the rom inside

Menus/Options
   Allow Setting screen size/Resolution/etc
   Make Ingame Menu common between the three video plugins
   Increase options in ingame menu, such as video settings, controllers, etc.
   Allow buttons such as rumble/mempack switch and ingame menu be customisable
   Add a Sensitivity Option for each game, all games and allow changing in game
   Pretty up in game menu
   Add option to use controller configuration for all players and reset to default
   Allow choosing Rumble or mempack by default per game

Emulators
   Fix constant writing to mempak (which writes to hdd) in games like zelda.
   Look at (reported) game freezing when loading saves
   Add rumble code back into 1964

Plugins
   Add 32bit-16bit texture conversion code to all video plugins
   Add new texture caching to 5.10
   Look at 8 way c buttons for Input Plugin

Low Priority
------------

Give Save games an icon
Cheat editor

Very Low Priority
-----------------

Reset to romlist in the case of a crash
Select and load a save game in launcher
Add BGM for launcher?

Bugs
----

Load state in pj64 causes controller to not work?


if you look at it, the only time consuming/difficult parts appear to be the plug-ins.
the rest is just making the gui pretty, and very user friendly.

plus note that the todo list hasnt been updated in 5 days, so im sure they are coming along nicely.

anyways, all in good time.

This has been one happyhappy thread. Really no negativity or flames, Thats cool. But as for why a dev was off on a projected releases date... C'mon man, have you ever coded something for a group of people on your free time? Shit happens, unforeseen meteorites hit, and little gremlins destroy code in the middle of the night. Any projected dates are just projections, subject to change. so hopefully that answers your question. and when V2 doesn't come in three to four weeks, don't get antsy then either.
    Basically, I assume that it's never going to come out, and then when it does someday, I'm pleasantly surprised.

I assume one of two possibilities:

[1] Odd simply underestimated the time it would take for he and Lantus to jointly complete the code. In addition to the complexity of the task, you have to factor in the time constraints of day-to-day life. Who knows how much free time a person will have in two weeks? Like AkumAPRIME said, if coding Surreal were a 9-to-5 job, the estimate would probably be more accurate because they would have plenty of available time and a consistent schedule to work from.

[2] Odd was near completion of his coding load, but was not fully aware of how far along Lantus was. Of course as outside observers, most of us have no idea just how much they coordinate their coding and how the division of labor is assigned.


Either way, those who bitch about v2 not being released yet and then wanting a time estimate are shooting themselves in the foot. Why should Odd talk to you if you will be so dismissive if he doesn't meet your expectations? A guess is a guess. It's good, though, that for the most part people have been very supportive and very patient. As I said before, I appreciate the fact that they listened to our feedback.

I figured it was because they had taken out the code for 1964 0.85, in preparation for putting the new version code in instead.  Then the original had to be put back in.  Take a look at the 1964 folder in CVS.
I'd rather we not hear a peep from the authors till the release, things like that just keep me coming back to this site more often than I should.

I heard the new Rice plugin supports PixelShader 1.1 and so does the Xbox.
Will Surreal 2 will use this advantage?
