I tried to submit a patch to disable interlacing and enable full res rendering for Gran Turismo 3.
refractionpcsx2 didn’t like it because the PAL version patch wasn’t fully finished yet. (This was because I literally restarted development in the middle of the PR I made.)
Instead of telling me to resubmit once it’s done, refractionpcsx2 tells me “we don’t want your broken patches”, accuses me of sneaking in stuff and eventually bans me because I gave up on submitting it after growing very frustrated (4 or 5 days of work on the patches).
I made a post in one of the emulation communities here on Lemmy if you want more details.
Hmm, where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, on PCSX2.
Your time and talent is better spent elsewhere. Don't even think about this any longer.
You wanted to help and they acted in this way. You made yourself clear, so it’s on them to reevaluate.
Your time isn’t free, so don’t spend it on stupid people. I know you’re passionate and want to help, but sometimes it unfortunately comes down to this.
I love it being written in Squirrel. Last time I dealt with it was when I was modding Sonic Unleashed on PS2 (Wii/PS2 version used it as its scripting language).
Indeed it is a great port. The engine is incredibly optimized and very well made.
Lots of hand optimization for occlusion calculations (reminiscent of Crash Bandicoot)
I posted a comment on the video - I made a patch for this game to allow for looking with the right stick and the cheat menu during single player (with some added debug options).
My mistake was in keeping it as a PR and working everything inside of it. (Instead of converting it to a draft, as I pointed out earlier)
At first, I expected them to read the room (and my earlier comments) and that they'd wait until it's finished. That's all I wanted to do.
There was a big misunderstanding here from refraction's part and I expected an answer more inline like "If this is a WIP, then please convert this PR to a draft or make a new PR later." instead of whatever this was.
In the stress test video on the JerryRigEverything YT channel, you can tell that the back is much easier to shatter than normal. That does kind of make this seem suspicious.
Now do Odo on Frodo
