I respected you before, I love you now. Keep the dream alive!
Sayonara 544p (Sayonara Umihara Kawase resolution unlock)
- Thread starter Durante
- Start date
Wasn't the resolution locked to 900p before he did his magic, or something like that? Never played it myself.

There may have been some issues at launch but I think IFI fixed those themselves.
Afaik Durante always praises IFI's ports.
spoilertagged part, very pretty please and then some.I don't really get that line of thought. I mean, you don't fix a few bad textures by making everything look like shit. Really, the aliasing at 896×512 on a PC monitor without any AA is out of this world. Just look at the image in the OP, and imagine that it's far worse in motion.
If that's the cure, then it's very much one of these "worse than the disease" things.
Sure. When I finished my PhD (2 years back) I considered applying for Oculus. But I didn't really want to move to the US. Looking back, if I had done it I'd probably be a lot richer. But I'd also be working for Facebook. Hardly worth it
My dream job would be having a small (e.g. me and <5 other people) company creating PC ports of indie and mid-tier titles.Starting with all 6 PS3 Atelier games.
Same goes for Final Fantasy XIII, though. I never saw his tag as a way to shit on the developers, just as a way to praise his work.

It was an odd one, it wasn't strictly 900p internal, and selecting a lower resolution would render at that lower resolution, but the selection of resolutions stopped at 900p like Platinum's early ports capping out at 1080p in the options.
And IFI fixed that after a week anyway.

By years ago, I'd say it's the opposite of cluelessness, same as WB, same as UBI, so the last sentence isn't cut and dry either.
Save some money, save some time, save some effort, roll the dice it ain't a financial blowback.

Yep, it's DX11. Not too badly coded either, at least judging from its interaction with the API.
The very first Neptunia initially had some strange resolution locking/availability issues, which I fixed with an insane ad-hoc OpenGL interceptor hack (yeah, it was also OpenGL!).
Of course, unlike most of the times when I do something like this, in that case IFI actually fixed it themselves later, and better.

Thanks man, as usual I really appreciate it.
I really need to send some bucks your way one of these days.

I haven't heard of this game until recently and put it on my watch list.
After seeing this though, I'll end up getting it sooner than later. Thanks Durante.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The early Rock Band games had the background stuff like the venue and band running at 30fps and the fretboard running at 60fps. I tried not to think about it.

I haven't messed around much with the settings, but if having shiny graphics costs me huge load times starting up stages, I'm not sure if the tradeoff is worth it.

You'll need to add Sayonara UmiharaKawase (UmiByeWin is its executable name) to the whitelist. Then you can mess with the settings you want for it under its profile.

I really love this game, but going back to the menu every time you fail (unless you've beaten the level once) is a real killer. The punishment for failing is getting booted back to the menu, which takes a few full seconds, then loading back into the game, which takes about 6 full seconds. For a game where you can die so easily so often, it's not very fair.
Wait, they didn't fix that? I thought quick retries were one of the selling points on the vita version.
No. The SFC and PSX games will be released individually later this year.

Hot damn. I'll have to pick this up now.
I didn't mind that much since that was clearly an artistic thing and not something that affected the gameplay. The Bioshock example bothers me because you can have it running beautifully at 60+ fps on a toaster, and it will still not look as good as it possibly can because the corpses and objects start moving like a silent movie from the 1910s compared to everything else.

It's okay, thanks to globalization, we live in a world where multi-millionaires are only slightly better off than your average folks. It's better to do what you want and in a place you're comfortable in.
So, how's that port studio coming along? Get a pair of japanese businessmen on board and you probably have at it!
;_;
I think you can go ahead with whatever magical trick was used for blame space's tag? it's 545 characters fully extended.
Mouseover on the game, read the exploit? ;p

Too bad we don't live in the same country, I would gladly work with you in such a studio.
They did add them, but IIRC you can only use them once you've beaten a level. So they're basically meant for speedruns and going for secret exits.
Wow, that's really dumb. I wonder if that can be modded.
Yeah, I pushed really unreasonable settings by accident. Also, the parallelization of the texture scaling is currently broken, I just didn't have time yesterday to fix it.
You can reduce either the scaling factor or set the mode to 0 in the Umihara settings and it will have almost no impact on the image but make a huge loading time difference.
Is it possible that the odd internal resolution is a remnant of the Vita version rendering at a sub native resolution?
That's just a guess, I never played the vita version, but I know a few vita games are rendered at a sub native resolution.
It would be a bad reason for the PC version not having an unlocked framerate, but it would be an explanation.
Anyway, fanatic work as always, Durante.

if you need people for community stuff..my girlfriend speaks 7 languages and I'm good with people
Sure, but typically because they were originally made to those resolutions on whatever platform they were on before PC. Unless it is sub native on Vita, I can't see why the resolution on PC would be lower than the Vita display.

It's not that surprising if you expect your games to not run like shit. It's a simple performance optimisation. Of course it should be corrected for ports but that's effort. (not a lot of effort to do, but developers usually fear possible breakage and extra testing it would involve to not touch it as it could be cost prohibitive.)
