it's not "a dll" but it's the whole emulator that I rebuilt and yes, it's wip

The beast is back ! Silently but steadily the development of this increasingly powerful emulator continues . . . - Experimental DX11 standalone porting - New Backend_D3D11_PixelShader - New Backend_D3D11_VertexShader - Totally reworked nv2a refactor - PRAMDAC FP_HDISPLAY_END / FP_VDISPLAY_END as the definitive reference for the Xbox display resolution - 60 fps rocking stable ... many more to come ! Here's Virtua Cop 3 in action with full D3D11 backend code (pixel/vertex shader management, JIT selection, interpreter state upload) :

While waiting for the dx9 -> dx11 porting to be completed, I have reworked and compiled this d3d9.dll which should bring improvements in shader rendering by having integrated the non-native refresh rate emulation option. Place it inside cxbx folder & have fun. https://www.mediafire.com/file/bik5856ix7u7sfq/d3d9-dxvk.zip/file

those are the oldest proton experimental : https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.0

custom res is not working atm so you can replace game with this (1920x1080) waiting for it to be fixed natively in Teknoparrot (soon) https://www.mediafire.com/file/puyzj6lz3tj566x/1920x1080.zip/file

Ridge Racer Three Monitor Version with many improvements on this special Mame build. Bonus ----- You can now play with both the Digital Pad and the Left Analog Stick instead of just the Analog Stick. Both work at the same time, so you can use the Left Analog Stick to go through the menus before the race and then use the Digital Pad for the tighter controls during the race. Also, along with pressing 5 on the keyboard to add credits, you can now just push the back button on your controller to add credits as well. Credits ------- Marcelo X - Improved controls / Improved configuration / Made this readme / Figured out how to make the left screen less glitchy / Made the batch files John Bennett / beaumotplage - Dumped the ROMs / Made the emulator (Also dumped the Ridge Racer: Full Scale ROMs a few years ago, however those ROMs were not released.)

2 cores (CPU 0+1) is standard standalone too (old classic) so for some cpu has better performance, but lots of users (90%) reported 1 core version as the winner .. mine is just a test not a definitive solution .. more to come

Nah, win10 too

what about reading just those "two" pages in this thread ?

You have not a performing specs but this is good enough to confirm 1 core option is the best choice for cxbx

To test the actual influence of affinity on the cores I compiled 3 different versions that have 1, 2, all cores activated natively so you can test your CPU (possibly Intel) and report : Extract the files into the cxbxr folder of Teknoparrot and USE this version for TESTING purposes ONLY (1 version at a time) 1 Core (CPU 0) https://www.mediafire.com/file/xkubcn3odabu1f7/Release-1.7z/file 2 Cores (CPU 0 + CPU 1) https://www.mediafire.com/file/aju1m5gzlgyzhgg/Release-2.7z/file ALL Cores available https://www.mediafire.com/file/f002vrvatwt6gbz/Release-All.7z/file

sure

Those who have an Intel CPU can "play" with the affinity parameters simply by using this command from the cmd prompt : PowerShell "$Process = Get-Process cxbxr-ldr; $Process.ProcessorAffinity=1" Launch the shell only after loading the affected game via Teknoparrot where (look hex) : CPU - HEX - BINARY 00 -- 1 ---- 0001 01 -- 3 ---- 0011 02 -- 7 ---- 0111 03 -- F ---- 1111 04 -- 1F --- 0001 1111 05 -- 3F --- 0011 1111 06 -- 7F --- 0111 1111 07 -- FF --- 1111 1111 08 -- 1FF -- 0001 1111 1111 09 -- 3FF -- 0011 1111 1111 10 -- 7FF -- 0111 1111 1111 11 -- FFF -- 1111 1111 1111 12 -- 1FFF - 0001 1111 1111 1111 13 -- 3FFF - 0011 1111 1111 1111 14 -- 7FFF - 0111 1111 1111 1111 15 -- FFFF - 1111 1111 1111 1111 Simple, easy, clean.

It does crash with proper elf too, many games still bugged or unsupported yet
