Needed for more advanced upscaling shaders but vertex manipulation can also improve things like global illumination. ambient occlusion. color manipulating shaders and even antialising shaders. I think the problem is...

I'm wondering if better shadowing techniques are theoretically possible to implement in an emulator. GC/Wii used many tricks for shadows including z-freeze and planar projections shadows but they arem't that...

I wonder if something like this is possible since GC/Wii games have limited numer of polygons? Though probably even if it is it'd be hard to implement. It would allow...

Vulkan API support

Multi-pass cpu filter framework is required for a cpu based version of Super xBR which can work directly on textures. https://github.com/libretro/common-shaders/tree/master/xbr Here are screenshots of RE Remake on GC with...

GBA ROM Prefetch emulation.

I don't know if you know but some time ago MGBA emulated apparently undocumented GBA Rom prefetch function. http://board.byuu.org/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=530 http://board.byuu.org/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=886 https://mgba.io//2015/06/27/cycle-counting-prefetch/ Test roms https://github.com/Gekkio/mooneye-gb#mooneye-gb-acceptance-tests https://github.com/mgba-emu/suite https://forums.mgba.io/showthread.php?tid=18 http://gekkio.fi/files/mooneye-gb/nightly/logic-analysis/external-bus/

6xBRZ texture scaling

Could you add xbrz texture scaling to GBE. I think it wold be nice even with tile replacement and can be used to scale replacement tiles/textures not to mention not...

Cheats, Memory editor, Ascii editor, Hex editor, assembler, disassembler, memory hacks, memory dumping and restoring.

You are working on the debugger right now so I wonder if such features are feasible such editors would be very helpful for rom hacking and translating. http://ngemu.com/threads/playstation-emulator-cheater-setup-guide.101186/ http://pec.duttke.de/ http://www.aldostools.org/pecedit.html...
