Release (beta) spi.snes 0.6.0

[sebt3]

From what I can tell, the US version runs full speed without frame drop just on the Pandora, but slows down once the controller and TV-Out are introduced.

Could you try to find out if it come from the TV-out or from qjoypad ?I somehow bet it's the later (as the emulation use every single bit of CPU time )

If so, a release managing itself the control would fix this

Ok, I found a different version of Yoshi's Island that plays but it's a little bit jerky during actual game play (no graphical filters applied)

ok I'll have a look for this. nice to know you found a playable dump though.

Thanks for your work on this emulator, it's great to see new progress on the Pandora

seems a little more demanding than the 1.39 & 1.43 based emulators

But I like the features and eye candy etc this offers, seems more catered to the pandora, and love the fact it's skinable, nice work!

I'm liking the emulator a lot, but I noticed that it doesn't seem to detect all of my ROMs (they're all in the same folder if it matters). Is there a way to manually add them?

snes9x 1.53 is indeed more demanding. But listen carefully, you'll ear where all these cpu cycles are going

There's 2 potentials reasons why it wouldnt list your rom : either you have multiple copies of the same rom (aka same CRC32) and then the emulator will always use the same file (the 1st one found while scanning) or the file cannot be loaded during scaning and thuss is not recognized as a rom.

What are the two numbers at the top of the screen? The one at the left holds at 60, but in SoM, the number on the right fluctuates a lot.

I nearly forgot to reply you  :unsure:  


E is emulation loop speed, R is the rendering loop speed.


is R isnt constant, either your filtering options are too expensive, or the emulator dropped a frame or 2.

Okay that is what I thought. Will test more and report back.

Finally tried to give this a try.Loaded up the pnd, the loading bar was showing and -bam-, back to desktop.

Any idea what's going on?

 Seen this ?

WARNINGs:

On CC model, 1st run requiere some swap (might also requiere swap for later runs if you have too much games)

 

[JePP]

Yes, but I have a Rebirth, so I shouldn't be affected, right?

 

[sebt3]

Indeed, a rebirth doesnt need any swap (that's what I have). What superZaxoon version you're at ?

 

[JePP]

Oh, I hadn't used my Pandora in a long while. So good hint! I updated my OS and now everythings works fine Thanks!

 

[matzesu]

Im a bit late, but didnt had some time to play whit the Pandora until eastern


I have a Circuitco Pandora, and a 1 gb Swapfile


I opened the Emulator, then waitet a bit until the database was built, and all went well, but when i try to start the Games, i only got some screen flickering..


Testet whit Kirbys Funpack, California Games 2 etc..


The Omap is clocket to 925 mhz


Or do i have the old graphic driver??


And how do i go to the Options??

 

[sebt3]

The Omap is clocket to 925 mhz

This might be a little too much overclocking as this is using neon optimized code.

Or do i have the old graphic driver??

But this is probably your issue here : lastest firmware largely recommanded and a good gles driver requiered (as it's using it)

And how do i go to the Options??

as said in 1st post use the [m] key

 

[matzesu]

Ok, so i have to update my Pandora OS,


How do i get a better SGX Driver??

 

[sebt3]

on a CC, default is the best (while on a giga, the 4.10 drivers is best here)You just need to update you pandy

 

[matzesu]

Ok, then i put it back to 750 mhz (600 mhz is a bit slow..) and update the OS..


Strangly i tought, there isnt a Update Anymore, but seems like the Update just found something to download..


Hopefully the Pyra is near, because then i have a device, which is as powerfull as every Pyra ..


Not 3 diverent Classes as on the Pandora:


Firstbatch

 

[matzesu]

Dosnt seems to work this way, maybe the Unit is just too slow..


Mybe its because my Roms arend Zipped??


But the Emulator still find they whitout Problems..
