OpenSNES9x Unstable?

[Evil_Cartman]

When i play a game in the new SNES emu, after 30 secs of gameplay with or without sound, it simply hangs.

help?

 

[Zider]

Are you overclocking, and if so how much?

 

[whodahell600]

well if you mean it freezes than you are probably OCing too high. if not than maybe you should try reinstalling it in ur GP32.

my lufia 2 wont work
:blink:

 

[Evil_Cartman]

I'm OCing at 166 and my GP32 has always could handle that speed. Plus at 133 it does the same.

 

[Vimacs]

rewrite it on you smc
or try another smc

what fw do you use?

 

[Tobriand]

There's a fair few people whose GP32s can normally handle 166 who are finding it can't with OSnes9x (although still does weith other things); can't remember which thrad the info is in, but its there. Try at 156MHz and see how that is for you...

 

[coolgpguy]

my gp32 can overclock to only 156 and w/ this emu it freezes up :blink:

 

[Antiriad]

Yes same here. Usually i can clock mine to 156 (with Snes9x and Castaway for example) but with OS9xGP it locks up after 5 minutes.

 

[Axeman]

have had no probs here.

 

[Wolfsclaw]

strange i dont have any problems with 156mhz.

are you maybe trying to run chrono trigger or sowrd of mana w/ sound, which hangs or restarts after a few seconds playing... ?

 

[Evil_Cartman]

weird.......... at 156 it runs perfectly..... but not at 133?

We need a little fix for this.

Yes same here. Usually i can clock mine to 156 (with Snes9x and Castaway for example) but with OS9xGP it locks up after 5 minutes.

same here, screen turns black.

i have no problems at 156mhz until i try it with sound, then about 10 mins into a game it freezes up, screen doesn't turn black, but freezes and sometimes does like a high pitch sounding thing, but if i go 156mhz without sound its completely fine.

 

[Twimfy]

It just happens to me randomly regardless of the conditions. Streetfighter 2 and Bahamut Lagoon, are particular offenders.

 

[Sponge BoB]

yeah the same thing happens with me at 166mhz. try 156 though, its still better at that than the other 2 emulators at 166. playing chrono, fuckin beutifull game.

I dont want people to think that all i do is come here to bash openSNES9x as i could not do any better.

However at 133 im having a range of problems, the first day it was OK without sound but now it either crashes or i get a big black line down the middle of the screen after about 5-10 minutes play. When changing the controls the settings never save after i leave the option screen, some games feel slower on openSNES9X then they do on SNES9X ( Donkey Kong Country being the main one).

I do want to say that out of the people that can overclock about 95% thenk its great and works well for them.

 

[coolgpguy]

running chrono triger at 156 w/ out sound at frame skip 4 it hangs

 

[Grinder X]

Hmm.. Vey strange problem. My GP32 can OC to 156. I had no probs with 156 on oS9x yet..
I'm going to try ChronoT now with Sound at 156 fs 4 and with my power adapter.
Lets see what happends.

Edit: Yepp.. It dose restart.

Crash to black screen happens to me also, seems random though, happened in lots of different games when running and I haven't enabled sound at all.
