Release DuckStation

Magic Sam · Jan 25, 2022

Hi all,

@levi : Yes I'm pretty sure of that 20/40 in the FPS counter

According to DuckStation settings, I have "Show Game Frame Rate" (internal frame rate) and "Show Display FPS" (number of frames or v-syncs displayed per second) enabled.

Out of curiosity, I'm also turning on "Show Speed" (current emulation speed in %).

EDIT: I confirm the 20/40 readings

20 (internal frame rate)
40 (number of frames per second)
Emulation speed: 60-70% (instead of target set at 100%)

Cheers, Magic Sam

I tested it, and yes, it's too slow for now. I did a quick profiling and it seems the Software renderer is were most of cpu time is spent (not unsurprisingly). I'll check if there are some quickwins somewhere, but I'm afraid the real asnwer here is the hardware renderer (which needs large update from gl4es).

Hi all,

@ptitSeb : I just found a quick workaround. Turning off linear upscaling in the display settings helps a lot. Emulation speed almost always at 100% now, and no more sound crackling

Oh, that's odd! I was thinking the upscaling to be done by the GPU (and so basicaly preformance-free). I'll check that. Nice find!

matzesu · Jan 29, 2022

Hey, but I thought upscale via GPU wouldn’t work as the Duckstation still don’t use OpenGL ^^
If I remember correctly the whole thing was driven by the CPU ^^
But thanks for the work around ^^

Magic Sam · Jan 29, 2022

Hi again,

Turning off linear upscaling seemed to help on some races, but some others are still too slow to be fun (Rally of Sweden is a good example, with emulation speed as low as 60%).

Cheers, Magic Sam

matzesu · Jan 29, 2022

Made some quick test, yep Sweden is still slow , to much snow …
But I recently put in some driver names for all countries and Cars, finally I can use my first car for Rally’s ^^ (although my Peugeot 205 only had 60 hp , unlike the Turbo 16 ^^ )
Still better than whit Upscale..

Edit: since when do whe have a Build in Cheat Option in Duckstation? This makes it much better ^^

I have an Issue whit Duckstation, showed in this video:
The Emulator starts, but the Menue is not readable, its looks like the colors are washed out..

I'm having the same issue Matzesu has, where the menu looks like this:

Here's what I see when I open from CLI, in case it is useful:

Ok, looks like I broke something on gl4es lately, that impacted Duckstation. I'll debug that.

matzesu · Mar 13, 2023

Thanks alot, i wonder how good Duckstation would run whit 1ghz when its runs ^^

traylorpark · Mar 15, 2023

Thanks for taking a look! Just noticed this today as well during first time emulator setup.

ptitSeb · Mar 16, 2023

Can you update your Pyra ("sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" orequivalent) and try again. The new gl4es should be there and the problem fixed.

matzesu · Mar 17, 2023

Some games are not made to work whit analog, the Dual Shock 1 was brought later in the PlayStation Live .. this is why you also have a button on the PS2 Dual Shock to disable Analog Mode

It works! Thank you!

Works also fine on Bullseye, no additional depencies needed ^^
