In such cases you need to enable this option to see frame buffer effects.

This prevents graphics lost, but may cause slowdowns and various glitches in some games.[Recommended: mostly off]</body></html> Render frame buffer as texture Rendere frame buffer als Textur <html><head/><body>Detect CPU write to the N64 frame buffer:This option works as the previous options, but the plugin is trying to detect, when game uses CPU writes to N64 frame buffer. The N64 frame buffer is rendered only when CPU writes is detected. Use this option for those games, in which you see still image or no image at all for some time with no reason.[Recommended: mostly off]</body></html> Detect CPU writes to the frame buffer Erkenne CPU writes in den frame buffer <html><head/><body>Copy depth buffer to RDRAM:This option is required for correct emulation of depth buffer based effects, e.g. coronas.

Frame buffer validity means that corresponded area in RDRAM is still used for that buffer. Plugin checks RDRAM context for changes before use of hardware buffer. There are two methods to check RDRAM context:1. Write fingerprint to RDRAM. The plugin writes smal portion of data (fingerprint) to buffer area in RDRAM. It helps plugin to detect changes in RDRAM context. Small portion of modifications makes possibility of game crash very low.2. Fill RDRAM. Plugin fills RDRAM area for allocated frame buffer with some test value. Frame buffer is valid until all pixels inside the area match that value. it is recommended method for Legend of Zelda. Warning: This method may cause emulator's crash if actual frame buffer bounds are less than the ones detected by the plugin.[Recommended: Write fingerprint to RDRAM]</body></html> Frame buffer validity check method: Frame buffer validity check Methode: fill buffer in RDRAM with test value Fülle buffer in RDRAM mit Testwert write fingerprint to RDRAM Schreibe Fingerabdruck in RDRAM Textures Texturen Texture enhancement Textur Verbesserungen <html><head/><body>Filter:Apply a filter to either smooth or sharpen textures.There are 4 different smoothing filters and 2 different sharpening filters. The higher the number, the stronger the effect, i.e. Smoothing filter 4 will have a much more noticeable effect than Smoothing filter 1.Be aware that performance may have an impact depending on the game and/or the PC.[Recommended: your preference]</body></html> Filter: <html><head/><body>Texture enhancement:12 different filters are selectable here, each one with a distinctive look.Be aware of possible performance impacts.IMPORTANT: 'Store' mode - saves textures in cache 'as is'. It can improve performance in games, which load many textures. Disable 'Ignore backgrounds' option for better result.[Recommended: your preference]</body></html> Enhancement: Verbesserungen: <html><head/><body>Texture cache size:Enhanced and filtered textures can be cached to aid performance. This setting will adjust how much PC memory will be dedicated for texture cache. This helps boost performance if there are subsequent requests for the same texture (usually the case). Normally, 128MB should be more than enough but there is a sweet spot for each game. Super Mario may not need more than 32megs, but Conker streams a lot of textures, so setting 256+ megs can boost performance. Adjust accordingly if you are encountering speed issues. '0' disables cache.[Recommended: PC and game dependant]</body></html> Texture cache: Textur cache: <html><head/><body>Ignore Backgrounds:It is used to skip enhancement for long narrow textures, usually used for backgrounds. This may save texture memory greatly and increase performance.[Recommended: on (off for 'Store' mode)]</body></html> Ignore backgrounds Hintergründe ignorieren Use texture pack Verwende Texturpaket <html><head/><body>Use Alpha channel fully:When this option is off, 16bit rgba textures will be loaded using RiceVideo style - with 1bit for alpha channel. When it is on, GlideHQ will check, how alpha channel is used by the hires texture, and select most appropriate format for it. This gives texture designers freedom to play with alpha, as they need, regardless of format of original N64 texture. For older and badly designed texture packs it can cause unwanted black borders.[Recommended: texture pack dependant]</body></html> Use alpha channel fully Verwende Alphakanal ganz <html><head/><body>Alternative CRC calculation:This option enables emulation of a palette CRC calculation bug in RiceVideo.If some textures are not loaded, try to set this option on/off.[Recommended: mostly off, on for really old packs]</body></html> Alternative CRC calculation Alternative CRC calculation <html><head/><body>Texture dumping mode:In this mode, you have that ability to dump textures on screen to the appropriate folder. You can also reload textures while the game is running to see how they look instantly - big time saver!Hotkeys: R reloads hires textures from the texture pack - D toggles texture dumps on/off.</body></html> Texture dumping/editing mode Texturbearbeitungsmodus <html><head/><body>Select color of text messages.</body></html> Message color: Farbe: <html><head/><body>Select font and font size for text messages, displayed during texture cache or texture pack save/load.</body></html> Message font: Schriftart: Arial Green Grün Pick einstellen Select auswählen <html><head/><body>Select path to folder with HD textures packs.

This halves the space used on the texture cache and the GFX hardware's texture RAM. Color reduction is done so that the original quality is preserved as much as possible. Depending on the texture, this usually is hardly noticeable. Sometimes though, it can be: skies are a good example.[Recommended: off]</body></html> Force 16bpp textures 16bpp Texturen erzwingen <html><head/><body>Compress texture cache:Memory will be compressed so that more textures can be held in the texture cache. The compression ratio varies with each texture, but 1/5 of the original size would be a modest approximation. They will be decompressed on-the-fly, before being downloaded to the gfx hardware.[Recommended: on]</body></html> Compress texture cache Textur cache komprimieren <html><head/><body>Save texture cache to HD:For enhanced textures cache: This will save all previously loaded and enhanced textures to HD. So upon next game launch, all the textures will be instantly loaded, resulting in smoother performance.For high-resolution textures cache: After creation, loading hi-res texture will take only a few seconds upon game launch, as opposed to the 5 -60 seconds a pack can take to load without this cache file. The only downside here is upon any changes to the pack, the cache file will need to be manually deleted.Saved cache files go into a folder called Cache within the Plugins folder.[Highly Recommended: on]</body></html> Save texture cache to hard disk Speichere textur cache auf der Fertplatte Post filters Filter Bloom Bloom blend mode: Bloom Blendmodus: Strong stark Mild mild Light leicht Blur amount: Unschärfe Menge: Threshold level: Toleranz: Blur strength: Unschärfe Stärke: 0
