Title: Dithering OFF
Post by: Heisho on July 15, 2019, 03:07:56 pm
Hello there!

Do you guys know if applying something like this could corrupt an already patched ISO?

I found it tempting since I'm using a Raspberry Pi with PSX patched games and removing dithering could improve (in my humble opinion) the visuals of the game.

Regards.

That depends on what "Dithering OFF" means...

1) If you are referring to an emulator option, then no. Emulators only read game images (otherwise is a bugged emu).

2) If you are referring to a dither removal process like this one: https://www.chrismcovell.com/psxdither.html (https://www.chrismcovell.com/psxdither.html), then yes. The image can be corrupted if you don't fix the headers of the sectors that contain those modified gpu instructions. But as far as i recall PCSX-ReARMed doesn't freeze nor crash with header's errors like Mednafen.

3) If you are referring to another thing, then I don't know.

Got it.
Yes I was reffering to the process mentioned on that site. I'll give it a deeper look.

Thanks.
