I must say I am interested to see what this is like.

 

[Tinnus]

Just seen the FF7 video! That's almost playable! I'm impressed by how smooth the emulator is running even if its only at 20ish fps!

Where's this video?

 

[hercule18]

Bye

will we see a new version today zod? just that that guy said he will be sending you that code hes doing

 

[Jarska333]

Huh, it gots to be implemented first.

Say, where have you gotten version 1.4 to your 2X?

 

[karmax75]

I just think he needs to fix the sound to run as slow as the game instead of stopping and catching up.

 

[mattyrb]

It has got potential, I can see its purely a speed issue now with FF7 it looks graphically 100% there ...I'm not really bothered if it has sound or not but this could push me in the direction of getting a GP2X should the frame rate get any faster

I tried some games....

Castlevania. SOTM
Final Fantasy 7
Teken 3
Chrono

All were graphically perfect. (except some intro flicking with FF7)

However, without frameskip, none of these are playable.

Even with frameskip, teken will not be playable, as it goes about a frame a second in combat.

​

FF7 with FS1 oc'd to 270mhz still was slow as shit. Is that because I compressed the .bin into a .bin.z and .bin.z.table?

​

I think so, the games work better if there just bin files, I tried it and it runs much better with just plain old bin file

​

heh, i did the same and never noticed. I only tried this with SOTM.

Maybe on the next release I'll do some speed tests. I'm not in the mood to copy feakin huge iso's onto my card at the moment.

 

[Mudi]

Which Chrono? Chrono Cross dies at the opening screen as far as I can tell...

 

[K0K0NUT_h3lmut]

Thanx guys for the help. Awesome work zottd!

Chrono Cross.

I played it where it was showing the village. with the fireworks and moving very slowly. after a couple of minutes of the camera slowly moving, I just gave up.

I'm not sure if it crashes once you get into the game. The movies seem to work ok as well.

​

Weird, for me it went blank and froze after selecting the vibration setting.

The fully 3D scene in the intro with the fish worked at around 15fps though... since that's about as graphically intensive as that game gets, it might attain fullspeed w/o sound someday...

Were you using uncompressed or .Z?

 

[Acidrainman]

After some playing around with ripping CDs I tested some games (all straight .cue/.bin full-sized), OC'd to 272MHz and frameskip 0:

Final Fantasy VIII (PAL)
Couldn't get it to go past the "GAME LOADING" screen.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert Retaliation (PAL)
Works fine, no graphical glitches. Around 11-12 FPS without sound.

Grand Theft Auto (NTSC)
Works nicely, 24FPS without sound but definitely too slow to be playable. I think it was nearer 17FPS with sounds but don't quote me. Slight graphical glitching around the superbikes but everything else in-game looks fine.

Driver (PAL)
17FPS without sound, no graphical glitches once in-game.


I couldn't really elicit higher framerates with the frameskip. Driver might've improved only slightly but it's hard to tell. Retaliation just turned into a flipbook with higher frameskips.
I was surprised mostly at the good FPS of Driver, which is a highly graphical game. I also took a quick screenshot of it in game:

Overall, great work Zottd!

​

.Z for this one. But it went so slow, I'll try no compression next time.

I'll give some real information when the next release comes out. Until then, I cant be stuffed.

I've just been testing FF7 disc 2 from one of my old saves. It works fine but when on the world map it runs at about 7FPS OC 280mhz. It was running at 22FPS when exploring caves though
