Well,today is my birthday and i've made myself a little birthday present.
And since i share my presents with the public,i'm proud to release Surreal64_FDB(freakdave's birthday release).
It lets you change the flicker filter value of Surreal64,e.g. turning the flicker filter off results in a ultrasharp and crisp picture.
Blurryness is no more :-)

Zelda,Mario,Starfox.All games look awesome now.
Heck,even the blurry Banjo-Kazooie looks almost like a Dreamcast game now !
All the XBOX-blurryness is simply gone.

An option to resize the screen will probably follow in a later release(I hope v2.0 is out until then)

UPDATE !
Surreal64_FDB_v3 :

QUOTE

Changelog
---------
* Added: You can now change Surreal's Vertex Processing mode
* Added: You can now choose between 5 texture filter modes
* Added: Some credits smile.gif
* Fixed: Cleaned up some code

Misc
-------
* Full sourcecode is included

Vertex Processing / Texture filter FAQ
------------------------------------------------------------
You now have the possibility to change Surreal's VP mode.
Note that UltraHLE has its own graphics renderer and therefore its own entry.
Open Surreal.ini and search for these 2 entries:

Default UHLE Vertex Processing Mode=1
Default EMU64 Vertex Processing Mode=1

Valid modes are :
0 = Pure Device (don't use this setting unless you know what you're doing.Not recommended)
1 = Software Vertex Processing (this is Surreal's default setting.Recommended)
2 = Hardware Vertex Processing (games may run faster and even better (UltraHLE and Diddy Kong Racing) with this setting,but it may also cause graphical glitches in certain games.Not recommended)
3 = Mixed Vertex Processing (Specifies mixed (both software and hardware) vertex processing.Not recommended)

You now also have the possibility to choose between 5 different texture filter modes.
Note that UltraHLE has its own graphics renderer and therefore its own entry.
Open Surreal.ini and search for these 2 entries:

Default UHLE Texturefilter=2
Default EMU64 Texturefilter=2

Valid modes are :
0 = This mode does NOT work as it's only used for Mip Mapping.I've added it only for the sake of completeness.
1 = Point Filtering (Fast but low quality.Use this if you want to play your games with PS1-like graphics)
2 = Linear Filtering (Surreal's default setting)
3 = Anisotropic Filtering (Slower but better quality.My favorite btw wink.gif)
4 = Flatcubic Filtering (Cubic Filter mode.Looks almost like Point Filter mode)
5 = Gaussiancubic Filtering (Cubic Filter mode with a different cubic kernel)

Misc:
Don't try to change the values XOffset,YOffset,XStretch and YStretch,as they don't work in this release.
DO NOT DELETE THEM THOUGH !



Note : This is still Surreal v1.0 !

Have fun with this one smile.gif

Awesome!

This was a feature I requested for v2.0 of Surreal, a flicker filter!

Thanks dave, I hope oDD/Lantus add this nifty option into the next official release or the next CVS build.

Screen resize would also be awesome, glad you are working towards that too.
