Swiss Dither Removal Option Added

Posted on by Bob

The Swiss team has been hard at work adding an even longer list of features to the already amazing software!  While there are a lot of notable changes in these last revisions, the one that really stands out to me is the ability to disable dithering for blending operations, which amplified a lot of noise in certain games.  This feature is available on all Swiss versions from r547 and up and Extrems posted a bit more detail in the Shmups thread.
