Reicast questions (OIT, image quality, controller)

chris256

Hello everyone,

According to changelog of 5.19, OIT mode is now possible for Libretro-Reicast:
libretro-reicast: reicast libretro and reicast OIT libretro merged into one. ( https://www.libretro.com/index.php/reicast-libretro-and-reicast-oit-libretro-merged-into-one-what-you-need-to-know/ )
So, as described in the link, after choosing libretro reicast, I went to options in retroarch then to Alpha Sorting but only non OIT options appear (per triangle and per strip). The per pixel does not appear. My video card is an Nvidia 750 Ti and I enabled Nvidia proprietary drivers. This video card should support the required OpenGL 4.3. Could someone help me?

Another thing: the libretro reicast has graphics quality (3D) less good than standalone reicast. Are there settings to twerk in order to obtain a better result?

Also, Libretro-reicast offers a dead-zone option which is nice with my gamepad. Is there something equivalent in standalone reicast?

Thanks for your help!

chris256 I partially answer to myself concerning libretro reicast quality, in case others may be interested. I managed to have the same quality as the standalone reicast by doing this:
- go to retroarch setting during the game (select+B on my gamepad)
- go to options
- set internal resolution to 1280x960
- set threaded rendering to enabled
- resume game
- exit game and relaunch

I would still be interested in having information why the OIT option is not available.

Moreover, does someone know how to get rid of the set date/time with libretro/reicast as it is done in standalone reicast?

And also does someone know how to check is proprietary Nvidia Drivers have been well enabled?

Thanks!
