Hope you are right, but doubt it. Mame team prefers not to touch anything that is recent to dodge legal troubles.

Quel shader tu utilises dans Mame? Envoie moi une capture ecran. Dessous c'est mon CRT-geom sur retroarch. Tres proche de ce que donne mame

This is the best version of mame, do you know if someone here updates it? Maybe they can integrate the Clockwork Aquario code from HBMame for 0.282. https://git.redump.net/hbmame/commit/?h=mame0196&id=dbd4c0b3fecc243d56603965836dab696ab1513b

I think some parts are better with my filter and it eliminates the dark halos (still need to work on the chroma halos), but overall I was surprised to see my filter made everything so blurry. Did you apply the same sharpening settings? So still need to work on it. This is the original This is my filtered one. Dark halos have disappeared but it feels too blurry. So not good.

Oui c'est possible. J'utilises deux configs selon si je veux enregistrer une video ou lancer normalement. Pour la video j'ai pas le CRT active par example. Copie ta config normale (retroarch.cfg) et change de nom par example moi j'utilise retroarch-video.cfg. Et ensuite lance avec cette option: retroarch.exe --config retroarch-video.cfg nomdelarom Avec ca plus besoin d'avoir des dossiers differents.

Content que tu ais fais la paix avec retroarch 😄 Il y a des blemes mais c'est quand meme pas mal quand ca marche.

Few videos popped up online and it seems some good people shared the dump yesterday. I bought the game, but don't want to play it on my switch only and wanted it on my arcade setup. Rom: Search for "Clockwork Aquario MiSter FPGA Madness" in archive.org Emulator: FBneo or retroarch FBNeo core or HBMame (https://hbmame.1emulation.com/) Tested it and it works! Enjoy and thanks whoever is the generous and kind person who posted it online.

Can you try topaz on this slightly cleaned sequence? https://limewire.com/d/NS2pL#xxs0cApXZR If it makes a difference I will continue improvint it. If not then I guess Topaz alone is enough.

C'est surement different pour tout le monde. Mais pour moi c'est pas la meme experience. L'arcade tu as la notion du credit. C'est pour ca qu'il y a beaucoup de videos 1CC. Ca te donne l'impression d'avoir une borne a la maison au lieu d'etre un jeu PC. C'est pareil pour le "free play", le jeu est le meme mais les credits rajoute un petit sens d'arcade. Quand tu as connu le stress de la derniere piece, ca te rappelle quelque chose. Aussi quand tu lances un jeu arcade, tu as l'attract mode, tu as pas les menus d'un jeu PC. Je prefere en general la version arcade meme si les jeux sont dispos sur PC. Moins de menus, etc.

Sounds good. Will take some time, I need to port the filter from python to C++ right now it takes many seconds per frame. Then process the VHS part of the video. Will keep you posted in a few weeks.

c'est quoi ton message? Moi j'utilises retroarch.exe -L genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll paprium.zip et ca marche

Si avec le fbaneo dedicace ca marche aussi, tu peux aussi en faire marcher certaines roms avec mame. Non retroarch est pas obligatoire, mais ca facilite la configuration. Tu configures ton joystick une fois et ca marche dans tous les emulateurs. Moi j'aimais pas au debut retroarch mais maintenant je trouve ca mieux que mame et les emulateurs isoles. Pour certaines roms megadrive (paprium) ca marche que avec retroarch si je ne me trompe pas.

Serieusement tu as pas retroarch?

Found yours. I guess we should combine approaches, I still see the ringing and haloing after the excellent cleanup technique you used. I think it would work better to use your algorithm on top of the frames dehaloed.

@thethinker would be interested to compare notes. I am writing a custom deghoster/deringing filter since all the ones I tried in avisynth or virtualdub sadly do not do the job. Still work to be done I want to reduce those more, but it is starting to look better. Curious how your approach can do of the left picture.

You need the fbneo core in retroarch. And you can load the rom as content, and pick the core when you get a choice. Or you can use command line: retroarch.exe -L fbneo_libretro.dll gladmort.7z

Don't worry about it this is not a big problem. The VHS part needs a lot of work though, still experimenting. Did not find a satisfying solution yet that does not destroy the small details.

Superbe travail! Bravo et merci!

Beautiful. Thanks for the confirmation, and great work. It will be a great starting source for all work until we can stack the LDs. One thing I noticed is some frames are doubled or trippled which can help reduce some of the noise and hopefully artefacts. I am still scouting the web for a good VHS deghosting or deringing first.

Lol link please. I searched and could not find a real technical explanation. Every frame could be indexed precisely in mp4. So if we can read the mp2 indexing it can be converted to a frame number that can be then used as an index in the mp4. There is pre-processing work of course, but I would love to read what is the technical reason to see if I can be part of solving it 😄

Does anyone know what hypseus is getting from mp2 that it cannot get from mp4?

Not asking what I want, but asking for a solution since you seem knowledgeable. Should we cut the first 157 for the video to be usable as is with hypseus for example? The compression artefacts are too heavy and there is luma clamping, so will not touch those sources. I think what @TheThinker posted is a good start if the last 8 minutes of the videos are what is expected. Haha, I wanted a restoration task for AI. Not for me. Let's see which is stonger of the VHS crappy capture or the overhyped AI 😄

Can we just get rid of the 157 first frames? Also it is hard to believe this is the best capture of the original. The fringing and ghosting seems abnormal. And the bottom is messed up too. Is it a limit of the current LDF capture process or the conversion afterwards?

Ouch YUV4MPEG2 was used. Was C444 used or not? If not it needs to be redone. OK will check it out. I want to run state of the art super resolution and frame interpolation on it. Some people tried but there were issues with the other versions that were posted here with some weird cases breaking. I want a 100% reliable version.

The decoding has "skips", so we might need to overlap a few laserdisc captures before there are no skip issues and the capture is real perfect and "lossless". There are videos on youtube showing how some people did that. Right now this capture is the best available, but until we check degradation and others we don't know how close to "lossless" it is.
