Originally, yuzu’s memory reads were reactive - meaning textures were downloaded only when games tried to read them and hence it wasn’t possible to know which textures were going to be downloaded.Īlthough these memory reads were fixed a few months later, the Scaler still needed changes to be made to the management of uniform buffers, so that it would be supported on drivers other than Nvidia. This approach was necessary, because of how yuzu was initially designed. The database was initially empty and, as the game ran, the algorithm would keep learning which textures to scale and which not to. The generation algorithm used a database that recorded texture types and whether they were scalable or not. It was inspired by Cemu’s graphic packs, but rather than having a manual graphics pack developed for each title, it would automatically generate scaling profiles as the user played. However, the approach he took to achieve that was a bit different. Old ScalerBlinkhawk implemented the original Resolution Scaler back in July of 2019. The massive undertaking to reimplement this complex feature was only possible thanks to the combined efforts of our talented developers Blinkhawk, BreadFish, epicboy, and Rodrigo. This allows games that were designed to render at lower resolutions (720p/900p/1080p), to go far beyond what was intended and be played at much higher resolutions (2K/4K/8K) in the same window! What is Resolution Scaler?Resolution Scaler is a new yuzu feature, which scales the dimensions of textures that Switch games render to, and then renders the games at the scaled resolution. We will be working diligently towards bringing this exciting new feature to our Mainline builds as soon as it’s ready for a full release. This new and massively improved Resolution Scaler is now available in the latest yuzu Early Access builds. Our most requested and anticipated feature - the Resolution Scaler - is finally here! Hey there, yuz-ers! For those of you eager to go beyond the limits of Switch hardware and experience the full potential of Switch games, the wait has finally ended.
