Rather than start loads of topics, tried to save up and group all my questions together, all help/answers appreciated.

1. With GP Speccy when I try and load a rom all I get is the Speccy white screen with flashing cursor, what am I missing ? (the roms are in the right folder)

2. My GP32 is only 100% stable at 133mhz, even at 140 it locks now and again, is this the case with most of the models are am I just unlucky :(

3. I (as everyone probably) would like to play SNES games at better frames rate, say I get 12fps at 133mhz, does the logical theory work that a 180mhz machine would play at 20fps apply ?

4. When I switch "show fps on" there is another figure underneath, is this the processor speed ?


Thanks, David
 
3.

I tweaked around with the settings to make Harvest moon run at full speed, u tried with and without sound. My result? With sound = around 11 fps. Without ~20/fullspeed.

I used this settings.

Video

Frame skip: 1
Video mode : 8bpp
V-sync : Off

Sound

Stereo : off
Freq: 11
quality : 8bits
Samples decoder: alt1

Hack

BG0-3 on, sprites on
HDMA, URQ, Fast sprites Off
Cpu cycle -5

Im using a GP32 Blu @ 133mhz
at 160mhz it ran at OMFG 27 fps ^^

Some games (Like F-zero) Need to have HDMA and URQ enabled tho.

gp is only guarented 133mhz so evrything above is luck (only gbax sells guaranted 166/180mhz gps). i sugest you the volt mod, that would bring you to 166mhz if you are not very unlucky. in the uk http://www.console-fix.co.uk/ is doing it

1) Load "" (it's the 'J' key - the symbol-shift P)
sorry at being thick (again) I press "L" to get keyboard up, click on symbol shift, go back to speccy screen press down (p) and no speechmarks, please help

IIRC, the top number is how fast it is running in percentage and the bottom is at how many frames per second it is running.
