I will gladly gift you a copy for your hard work (I'll friend you). Do note that Krisan Thyme said he got it working with V somehow, but either way. I'd still like to thank you via a copy of the game.

Would what you learned on this fix work for V?

I've already managed to get it to work in FFV, actually. Example: http://i.imgur.com/eEPCMnQ.png
Credit for the work is still on Nyxo, I just ported it over lazily between other projects. I'll setup a release for it and make a proper VI release thread in Nyxo's honor here before too much longer.

I'm speechless. This is a christmas miracle or something.

So, none of the available resolutions with fullscreen off produce square pixels. And running the game in fullscreen with a 1080p monitor didn't either.

Eeeeexceeeeellent.

Next step -- figure out how to get square pixels. Based on my research, our best hope is that one of the supported resolutions is the "native" resolution at which everything will appear 1:1 scale and pixels will be square and not irregularly squished.

From what I've read bout Matrix's engine, it's most likely one of the resolutions that has a vertical resolution of either 720 or 768. I don't have the ability to run the game with the patch at the moment, but if someone wants to do some quick research -- apply the patch, then run the game in every resolution you can, and see if any of them has nice square pixels without irregular squishing. If we can isolate that magic resolution, that saves us a lot of trouble down the road as it means we won't have to manually hack rendering logic to fix that artifact, we just use that resolution and then base further tricks off of that.

I'll look into it right now. I have the patch running.

Everybody needs to experience the game how it's meant to be!

Omg it's beautiful. This does the new art some justice! Do you mind if I share this on the forum?

Oh wow. I'd love to hear how you did it. Would it be possible to get it working with Final Fantasy V too?

Yeah it was Matrix that made them. I had V open in a debugger today too, but nothing fruitful came of it. That's my own fault though. I'm not a skilled modder. I'm just sort of obsessed with getting rid of the Bilinear filter and wanted to teach myself how to do it.

I'm about to be travelling for the next week so I'm not getting back into this for a while. Hopefully Nyxo had some interest in looking at the filter for me, but if not, I'll just wait and see what happens. That's always been my biggest issue with V and VI... I don't really care what the sprites are, just that they aren't blurry.

It'd take someone with my skill level weeks to get it figured out, but someone else with the knowledge and time, probably a day or two. So i've been mostly reaching out to people to get folks interested...

ok that's what i thought, I was basically looking for this wherever I could find it:
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);

The thing to note about enum values in compiled executables, is that you're not going to find them by enum value. The enum values are stripped away at compile time, leaving just the int values they represent. So watch out for that :)

Also, you'll need to do much better than a text/hex editor, in order to follow code -- you'll need a proper debugger~

So, in your opinion, what would I use? What were these two games compiled with?

little bit of news.

Edit: Oh wait is that you Nyxo?
