I can only comment on those I have tested on the gp32.
Super Metroid works very well (with sound), Phantasy Star 2 and 4 runs flawlessly sound and full 60 fps. I have not tested the others.

In fGen, Rocket Knight Adventure runs full speed but there is no sound.

FF II: Full speed in the world map but when in battle it's pretty damn slow with music. IIRC, it was running at ~50% with music, but if you really like the game (like myself), you won't notice that it's runing that slow in battle.

Megaman X/X2: IIRC, it ran at around ~80% with sound. But it was full speed without sound.

Secret of Mana is too slow currently on the GP32 (its normal speed when sound is off though). Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3) is playable, although when you get to the God Beasts there can be transparency issues and I've just chosen to follow on my save onto regular PC. (in zsnes).

I've found Illusion of Gaia though to work brilliantly on the GP. Also I've only played the beginning of Chrono Trigger and again this seemed to work fine. (I've read there can be transparency problems later, but this can be solved with the emulator settings)

Games like Star Ocean and Tales of Phantasia won't work on the GP since they're greater in size than 4MB/32MBits (not enough memory)

There is a new snes emulator version in development and so should speed things up a bit when its released

erm...super metroid is unplayable slow. it's a pitty, i love this game so much.
in adventures or rpg's transparency issues may occur during the game. even if it looks ok at the beginning, they'll propably occur after playing for some time.

mario world plays very well, but there aren't many others. for many action games the frameskip must be higher than 1, which means it is not playable. for logical games, that is ok.

but yoyo, the author, said that he'll release a new version soon. i hope, the transparency bug will be solved then.

I've gone through a good bit of Super Metroid on Frameskip 2 or 3 without issue. Illusion of Gaia (or Illusion of Time as it is called in Europe) I play on Frameskip 2 and it is QUITE playable.

Super Ghouls and Ghosts is prob abut 80 percent, while the Mega Drive version is full speed.

LOL
It works fine at fs 2 with sound.

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

What did u clock to?


I can clock up to 156...

hm, i just re-tried metroid (166mhz) and with fs 2 it runs much too choppy and you can't even see your shots because of the frameskip.
but i think, you just can play logical games with a frameskip higher than 1. for me, the gameplay is not given with such a scrolling....

 

[wolly wotsit]

u would need trnsparency hack for supr mettroid
