Thanks for videos!

GunPei2X: There's a few games where games will lag a bit. But I haven't seen it to an easily noticeable extent. What game does it lag on for you? I'll try it out.

The only one I have tried so far is Kirby & the Amazing Mirror (E), which I've been testing the last few versions with. When you go into a level and the frameskip ramps up, the music will slow a touch.

As a side note, in all previous releases the title music was horrible, but in this it's perfect

I am run out of fuel My batteries go down (now charging )
Before that i have tested CT Special Forces (US) and is was 60 fps all the time with good sound (no laggy sound ) at 270 mhz.
Metroid Zero Mission (US) runs very fast too.It runs 45-60 with a bit of laggy sound (not much, sound has improved a lot )
My settings are autoframeskip 2 Buffer 512 (Uniform) Unscaled 3:2 Screen Filtering :YES

Now, i will wait for the full batteries
Today i am not going to sleep

Zodttd you must sleep, you deserve it

After hard work , sweet dreams! ^_^

 

[zodttd]

Heh thanks for the input everyone.

Rivroner...I sort of missed the sleep time a long time ago. Oh yeah, filtering isn't enabled this release so no need to worry about that setting. If you set the autoframeskip to 3 or 4 you will probably get better performance on Metroid.

I'm now sitting in Heathrow with no way to get .9004d onto an SD card and frustrated lol. v9.004b is still fantastic though - was playing Pokemon Emerald on the way here; with sound off (in-game saving works, and I don't have headphones, so might as well turn it off when I don't need it), and FS set to 2, it was hitting a constant 60fps.

One thing I did notice, which may or may not be present in newer versions was a little bit of lag. The FPS counter displays for maybe a frame every, what, 2 seconds? Every time it does, there's the briefest moment of jutter, which doesn't make the game seem slower, but does mean it looks like it's got a heartbeat. But as I say, this is on v0.9004b, not d.

 

[gaterooze]

zodttd, try Rebelstar Tactical Command (U), music lag is very noticeable in that.

Unscaled 3:2 Screen Filtering :YES

Zodttd you must sleep, you deserve it Hard work and now sweet dreams!

BTW, filtering doesn't do anything. That option is a vestige of the PSP version May as well remove the menu choice, as well as the 16:9 option

Thank you DaveC , I´ll turn it off

 

[zodttd]

Tobriand: That bug has been fixed. Sorry about that. It MAY be able to be turned off via the Volume Up toggle (may toggle very fast).

GunPei2X: Oh! Thats one of my fav games. I'll test now!

 

[PokeParadox]

Crikey... The Zod-fairy has been working through the (GMT-based) night! Nice surprise that there are several updates. Expect some videos later today!

 

[DaveC]

I am still getting very stuttery sound. I tried Castlevania and Astroboy and I think it actually got worse. The framerate got choppier and the sound more stuttery. Maybe Exophase may have a few tips?

I think I will just wait until this is more optimised, this doesn't seem to like 240 MHz very well

Thanks Zod for the great and continued hard work.

 

[zodttd]

I've tested many games at 240 and less with perfect sound. I'll test those two games next. Which Castlevania is it? I will see if I get the same issues.

 

[gaterooze]

Astroboy (U) runs great here at 240mhz and autoframeskip-2. It's usually 60FPS, dropping to 50FPS sometimes, and very rarely to 40FPS, but never below.

Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance (not sure if its U or E) is even better, a solid 60FPS unless something really spectacular is happening onscreen, when it dips to 50-55FPS.

(this is with optimized RAM timings and audio buffer at 512)

 

[zodttd]

Weird, I wonder why you're having problems DaveC. Did you read the post I made about game_config.txt and how to tell which games are supported by idle loop eliminations currently? You might me using a bad rom as well.

 

[PokeParadox]

Having a quick test and this is just amazing! most games it runs great at 240MHz

Super Mario Advance 3 - Yoshi's Island Crashes at the save select though.

 

[zodttd]

PokeParadox: Good bug report, I'll look into that!

 

[Rivroner]

Another bug :Black screen for me in DKC 2

 

[bekotime]

public release pleaseee

 

[icurafu]

Fire emblem seems to be perfect at default frameskip. Just flawless emulation and full speed. A remember there being some FE ppl here. (Japanese version) ^^

 

[zodttd]

Yeah there was someone who really wanted Fire Emblem working.

Oh, which game was it that was needed for someone to impress his girlfriend? I think it was Golden Sun 1 or 2. I need to get that working so he can score.
