Unusable filter

[dinkc64]

Hi
There are problems getting that filter to compile with our modern compilers. I will see if I can possibly get it to work tonight!

p.s. sorry for missing your post on the forum, sometimes I get a little busy and overlook things accidentally

best regards,

Thanks to you dink, I'm a fan of your hard work. Greetings.

you're welcome! Thanks for making the bug report!
The filter is fixed now, enjoy :)

Tested in SoftFx (doesn't look good).
Enhanced (it only looks good if I apply gamma correction or force it to 16 bits).
DirectX9 alt (Only if I force the image to 16 bits).

Uhoh, looks like that filter is limited to 16bit only. The SNES9x version of the same filter seems to work fine at 16 or 32bit.
Which makes me wonder, why do we need 2 different versions of the same scaler? They seem to produce the same results (unless I'm missing something :)

Well, nevermind that last message - was just me thinking out loud :)

A fix had been made for the 32bit issue w/the filter. Regarding the SoftFX blitter, it's really showing its age, its really just a fall-back blitter for super ancient hw (like, win98 or win2k, I think?).

I appreciate the support and the prompt response, I have already been testing. It's better than it started, thank you.
