Blu+ Screens Actually Better Than Blu?

[Goity]

Has any checked to see if the BLU+ units have been modified to correct the sterio sound swapping problem?

​

Definitely, cos the Blu originals were

Yes the screen is much better, its got correct brightness, the best way to see the difference is to try doom in PC screen mode and in GP32 enhanced mode.

On the Blu+ it looks perfect in PC mode, on the BLU it is dark and hard to see.

Sorry Craig but I'd hardly say it looks 'perfect' on Blu+.... Doom V10b does look much better in PC mode but the gamma settings are still not correct, there is no 'true black', the black is a faded dark brown. A few of this were mentioning this for months in the Doom support forum and there was mention that it might be fixed at some point but I guess this has been put way on the back burner


the picture quality on my Blu + is fantastic.... now I wish i'd seen a regular blu to see the difference. I know the reputation for overclocking is bad but I got one that does 166mhz all by itself... and yeah it's not like getting it to OC with the pencil trick or resistor mod is THAT hard. New apps/games/homebrew that are not Blu+ compatible are almost none... only a few WIP's that you really wont miss anyways. Snes emu... who cares it's so slow anyways I can't imagine how any of you PLAY it like that....

I wholeheartedly DISAGREE. I like osnes alot. Plays great without sound, and even with sound (on .2) some games play really well @ 166. You just have to find the right settintgs

yoyo is the man. Don't say his emu is unplayable when it's not.

 

[Blah]

Its unplayable

A SNES EMU DOES WORK ON THE BLU+ I HAVE IT!
YOU FOOLS FOOLS!
SNES SNES!

​

Hey, 0.1 opensnesgp works on the BLU+, it just doesn't work as well as 0.3. Same for snes9xgp. I believe both their problem is, that they are ports from PC with unoptimised code.

​

well then for the love of god, someone out there please optimize the code!!!

 

[Blah]

...easier said than done.

It is unplayable to me. All of the games that I like play like molasses in January with sound on. I don't play without sound, so to me it is worthless.

Yeah, bad gamma is bad no matter what you play it on. But it probably does look better if the screen contrast is better on the BLU+

I thought Guyfawkes was going to fix it but he has gotten interested in the DS :rolleyes: DS, meh. So Doom with working saves and correct gamma may never happen now, what a shame.

 

[Blah]

The saves work, what are you talking about?

​

Saves are borked in the newest release of Doom v10 for the BLU+ when using custom pWADs. They seem to work for the doom 1 and DoomII original WADs only.

 

[Blah]

Hmm...They worked for me...
