So 32 bit color, or even double the resolution, is not really a problem to fit in there.
In PPSSPP, we represent the color buffers on your modern device, that might even have > 1GB of VRAM. So that's why I say it might be an undertaking. However, this would definitely mean non-trivial changes to the game's code. There may be a performance penalty, but it might be livable. That being said, it's theoretically possible to relocate textures and CLUTs to regular RAM. So it may have become a decision of more vibrant colors or better shadows, for example. You basically double your remaining VRAM by using 16-bit colors, allowing you to do a lot more other effects. So many games may have chosen 32-bit color simply due to free space, not even because of bandwidth. * Other buffers (to create bloom effects, or shadows, etc.) So you can see that with 32-bit color, you're quickly left with only 2048MB (VRAM) - 272KB (depth) - 1088KB (colors) = 688KB of remaining VRAM.īut you say, "it fits, doesn't it? Is that a problem?" But this VRAM has to be used for other things: So it's actually 555KB vs 1088KB.Įven more, most games will require a depth buffer to render properly at all. Additionally, you essentially must double buffer on the PSP, meaning you need two of those buffers. The PSP had 2MB of VRAM, or in other words 2048KB.Ī 16-bit color buffer requires 272KB.

ISO will just makes the cheats that much harder to use, which means if I want to add extra content to Pure (I'm trying to force the exclusive Japanese and American DLC into the European version), I'll have to find a whole new 60 FPS cheat, unless I'm able to patch the individual files BEFORE making the modifications. WipEout Pulse runs at 60 FPS in all modes except the menu, unlike WipEout Pure, and it has a more sophisticated shader model, so I know it isn't a limitation of the hardware (a real PSP, overclocked to 333/111 Megahertz).įurthermore, any modification of the.
