Looks a lot like PS2 VU MIPS instructions.

Emulator? Those seem on par with PS2 MIPS.

Did some snooping into Ace Combat Zero: * Dumped Steam-packed executable. * Ran through x64dbg without emulating/fully cracking Steam....and..... Emulator based? Or just proper PC port? It does link to Xinput as well as the Thrustmaster controller API.

Expanded the shader IDE into a full-blown Shadertoy core for libretro.

Added standalone loader to detonate-libretro.dll. Its basically a tiny libretro loader made specifically for Detonate. Might make Win32/Win64, leaving Linux to use SDL3/RA.

Ended up rewriting the pure interpreter in Mupen to use computed goto + branchless code. Now get 60VIs in the tavern of CBFD. Not 100% sure why Conker is so heavy here, maybe all the soft-shadows and reflections in intro?

Started work on a standalone librashader-based RetroArch/libretro slang format shader editor.

Added full support for shaders via librashader.

Added full DSP chains for both MIDI and libretro core audio in WTFweg. Completely stackable, interchangable, swappable, etc.

mudlord @mudlord.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Added full support for Vulkan rendering in WTFweg. Autoswitches between OGL and VK cores when needed.

Spent weekend writing VFS support. So memory mapped I/O on Win32/Linux.

Very important point. WTFweg and my exe packer are very much my passion projects. I feel fossing them leaves them to be exploited, as well as to me they are extremely personal things, and my nuclear weapon testing grounds for testing crazy shit/tech. Plus, RA and UPX exists, so people can use those

Amusing, unbroken on NV.

mudlord @mudlord.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Added complete performance statistics/metrics. Was tired of people who kept claiming libretro is slower than standalone, so added means to objectively measure exact frametimes. Tech could be extended to a hook for standalone emulators...

Major jank fixed in WTFweg: * Switching between GL core thus GL instances. * JSON parsing for config. * Cleaner initialization/unloading of cores.

MK Legacy Kollection uses libretro.

mudlord @mudlord.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

No its not broken. The ROM set was broken. Namely me not coding for 5 years and so not having up to date test material. Finally can test arcade material. Last I seen, Amiga and Atari ST on Libretro was a fucking crapshoot.

mudlord @mudlord.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Add scalable ROM browser. Autofits content to screen, while sorting by ROMs supported by libretro cores. Same goes for the file loading, and drag n' drop.

And why the fuck is Jaleco stuff broken in MAME2003+, yet fine in others? And why multiple other compiler builds?

mudlord @mudlord.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Why am I annoyed by updating cores to most-recent Git? A years-old MupenNext compile works fine, as well as my own LLE based Mupen fork (albeit with some performance probs due to no dynarec)
