MacGLide0.13

Features:

• Improved rendering quality for Tomb Raider 1 Gold:
  • geometry analysis (and correction) for removing background-colored gaps between landscape tiles.
  • Runtime analysis of texture content for removing texture border artefacts caused by anisotropic filtering/mipmapping and the way TR1 stores its textures.
• adjustable Gamma Bias
• Optimisations for the framebuffer emulation (Carmageddon, Falcon 4.0):
  • Altivec Velocity Engine optimised color format conversion for maximum performance on slower machines
  • Fiddling with the cache lines in order to optimise memory bandwidth usage on G4-based systems
  • Only downloading the parts of the framebuffer to the GPU that actually have changed, skipping any unchanged data
• resolution cap config setting allows for setting the maximal resolution ever requested by MacGLide (useful if resolution doubling is enabled)

• Revised and extended preferences system
  • Default settings for all games
  • Game specific settings
  • Oh yes, older settings are again reset (hopefully for the last time)
• Code refactoring as a preparation for Control Panel
• Code refactoring as a preparation for texture replacment (a la Tomb Raider Xtra)
