mupen64plus-core VS mame

https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core/releases is this not the same core?

This PR https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core/pull/873 merged in June 2022 finally makes Hey You Pikachu playable without the original hardware. No credit on my part, I am not involved in any development, but there are some brilliant people in that thread that used the reverse engineering documents for the device from zoinkity and the documents on ultra64 to make this a reality (Thank you loganmc10, if you ever see this. Bringing back my childhood :')).

Mupen64plus (N64 emulator) is purely C: https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core

It works fine if you use a custom mupen64plus core with the new dynarec. The upstream version has a small regression.

I'm trying to apply the following modifications to games-emulation/mupen64plus-core-2.5.9-r2.

VRU: https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core/pull/873

On the topic of emulating old hardware, this reminds me of the Nintendo 64 VRU accessory, which is a mic + voice recognition that was used in games such as Hey You Pikachu. Nobody has emulated the hardware which performed the actual voice recognition, instead opting for modern VR libraries. So while you can use it in an emulator, the performed VR won't match what you'd get with limited hardware implementation.

>This is an HLE implementation. I did not emulate the manner in which the VRU does voice recognition

What distribution of that in particular though? The official repo https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core hasn't had a new release in 7 years.

Yes, there are many challenges in reverse engineering these classic games. This is a good example.

Living in L.A. in the 90's, I remember Pack Mann in Pasadena had this one.

The ROM dump's been done but people seem to be stuck on the RLE encoding. It's hard to say what kind of wizardry is needed in this case.

There's a good start at it in the tree ( https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/yamaha/... ) but it's missing the sound generation which is kind of the important part :-)

> As requested by users, you can finally use delta CHD files for clone systems and software items. This allows for major disk space savings in some cases when you have multiple versions of a system or software item.

FWIW, this is commit https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/d1172bf710f2a7b1777ed...

The GitHub Actions workflow bgfxshaders.yml will rebuild the shaders and then zip them up as an artefact. If you push your shader changes to GitHub and let the workflow run, you can grab the rebuilt shades from there.

Note that the process of getting the MSYS64/MinGW build environment set up is simple enough that we have automated CI builds for it on GitHub Actions without needing any custom actions of our own.

I assume they’re free vend because they’re MAME based?
