This gives you a very smoothed out anti-aliased picture that for all intents and purposes still outputs at 240p/240i. What happens from there is that this internal higher resolution image is then downscaled to either half its size, one quarter of its size, or one eight of its size. The idea is that you internally upscale at a higher resolution, then set this option from ‘Disabled’ to any of the other values. 4x upscale means 16x times the work that 1x Angrylion would churn through.Īvailable options: Disabled, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 Also known as SSAA, this works pretty similar to the SSAA downscaling feature in Beetle PSX HW’s Vulkan renderer.

Even when upscaling, the rendering is still rendering at full accuracy, and it is still all software rendered on the GPU. 2x and 4x by comparison are much lighter. Your mileage may vary, just be forewarned. System requirements are steep for 8x and we generally don’t recommend anything less than a 1080 Ti or better for this. NOTE: It bears noting that 8x requires at least 5GB/6GB VRAM on your GPU. 1x is default and is the native resolution. (ParaLLEl-RDP) Upscaling factor (Restart)Īvailable options: 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x The upscaling factor for the internal resolution.We’ll briefly explain what they do and how you can go about using them. Setting it to 2x/4x/8x then restarting the core makes the upscaling take effect.Ī few new core option features have been added. By default, it is set to 1x (native resolution). In order to upscale, you need to first set the Upscaling factor. You can either close the game or quit RetroArch and start the game up again. For the changes to take effect, we now need to restart the core.Scroll down the list until you reach ‘GFX Plugin’. Go to the Quick Menu and go to ‘Options’.(If you don’t have paraLLEl N64 installed already) – go to ‘Core Updater’ (older versions of RA) or ‘Core Downloader’ (newer version of RA), and select ‘Nintendo – Nintendo 64 (paraLLEl N64)’.

This will update all the cores that you already installed.

(If you have paraLLEl N64 already installed) – Select ‘Update Installed Cores’.

We make no guarantees as to what kind of performance you can expect across these platforms, this is all contingent on your GPU’s Vulkan drivers and its compute power. RDP upscaling is available right now on Windows, Linux, and Android.

Look for instance at this Mario 64 screenshot here with the game running at 2x internal upscale (512×448). Super Mario 64 running on ParaLLEl RDP with 2x internal upscale This results in even games that run at just 2x native resolution looking significantly better than the same resolution running on an HLE RDP renderer.

This means that even though our internal resolution might be 1024×896, this will then be further smoothed out by this aggressive AA postprocessing step. As part of this interface’s postprocessing routines, it automatically applies an approximation of 8x MSAA (Multi-Sampled Anti-Aliasing) to the image. As said before, unlike so many HLE renderers, ParaLLEl RDP fully emulates the RCP’s VI Interface. Now, here comes the good stuff with LLE RDP emulation.

When you set resolution upscaling to 2x, you are multiplying the input resolution by 2x. You can upscale in integer steps of the base resolution. The graphics output you get is unlike any HLE renderer you’ve ever seen before for the past twenty years, since unlike them, there is full VI emulation (including dithering, divot filtering, and basic edge anti-aliasing). ParaLLEl RDP is the world’s first Low-Level RDP renderer capable of upscaling. Many users indicated over the past few weeks that upscaling was desired. So something rendering at native resolution, while obviously accurate, bit-exact and all, was seen as unpalatable to them. It quickly became apparent after launching ParaLLEl RDP that users have grown accustomed to seeing upscaled N64 graphics over the past 20 years.
