Psx4gp2x Public Beta 2 Released.

[Crazy Goat]

DOA - Still Does not work (ISO)
Destruction Derby - Still doesn't work. (ISO)
RayCrisis - ~6fps, Interlace 0, No Progressive - Overclock 266 (.ZNX or whatever)

The sad thing is that RayCrisis, albeit some minor grapical errors, use to run at ~9-11 fps.

Ok, i can't get this release to run at all GRRR

 

[Nr.56]

how do we turn on frame skipping?
and how fast are your wipeout copies running. Here I get 8-10 fps in game, at 266mhz and interlace 0.

Wipeout runs at 8-10 fps (we have got the same game and the same hardware, if you use uncompressed images we must get the same results!) on best quality mode, nearly the same speed like the last beta but it seems to be a little bit smoother. In my opinion the only playable 3d racing game. furthermore i imagine the imagequality is improved, can it be true?? :blink:

 

[skoda]

Ok here goes with my batch of tests ... gp2x overclocked to 266mhz and all with no interlace and progressive and no psx clock underclocking


SKULLMONKEYS -bin file

Vsync: 20 avg
FPS: 20-28 stable -just a few frames from fullspeed
glitches : some platforms appear invisible but quite rarely happens
This game didnt work in 1.8beta at all



MICKEY MOUSE WILD ADVENTURE -img file

Vsync: 34
FPS: 34-37 fully playable and fullspeed
glitches : none seen yet , but 1.8beta did have some so now fixed
This game ran at 26fps in 1.8beta


GROOVE ADVENTURE -img file

Vsync: 37
FPS: 11
glitches: none
This game is now slower as 1.8beta was 20+ fps constant


MAGICAL HOPPERS -img file

Vsync: 47
FPS: 3
glitches: none
This game is now slower, 1.8beta was 6-7fps


thats it for today, I must thank all the coders for a good job in general as the compatability has gone up in my experience.

PSyMastR, you sure you weren't looking at the VSincRate? that shows 35 too, but the framerate is 3-5 fps.
what is this vsincrate anyway?

 

[shinneri]

Does this work in TV-Out? I tried it and it cut off the entire right half of the screen.

 

[Kronos43]

wow! sounds like alot of progress ill have to test it out soon.

but how big are *.iso and *.bin files? arent they like 700 mb straight from the cd?

Depends on the game in question. Just think of how much you CAN put on a CD vs how much is actually there. The highest could be about 712 MB. Remember guys, if you don't know how to rip check my guide in my signature (right under this text) to rip a PSX CD to .bin, which gives the highest compatibility.

I may have, but the movie was sickly smooth.

Hey Zottd,

Good job on the new public release! Anyways, I know there are some serious compatiblity issues with final fantasy 9. I have been doing some research on this and I have found some things out.

First, the point where ff9 usually locks up in this emulator is right after the squaresoft screen when the game trys to show an intro FMV. After realizing this, I remembered when I tried this game on PCSXBOX, there was a toggleable option for ff9 movie fix. Perhaps this may be part of the answer? Maybe you can get in touch with XPort from the Xbox-scene forums.

Also, I found this: FFIX Movie Fix

Not sure if that is the exact same thing used in PCSXBOX, but it is worth looking over.

Hope this helps!

 

[PSyMastR]

Update, 20FPS with Interlace 0 on FF7 in battles and walking around. AMAZING!

 

[kelulo]

Just run Silent Hill, overclocked @ 285mhz and get anywhere from 4-7 fps in game. Too slow to be playable but cool nonetheless

 

[STTrife]

Update, 20FPS with Interlace 0 on FF7 in battles and walking around. AMAZING!

how is that possible? I got about the same speed as the old version of the emulator
What kind of image do you use? probably doesn't matter what firmware version do you use? ehh what else could be diffrent from mine???


can someone else please check what their framerate is at final fantasy 7 (not the vsincstuff)!!
please it would be greart if I could get ff7 running on decent speed!
thanks!

 

[kevcal]

OC=250, interlace=0

Tekken 2 has polygon problems (~7fps in-game though)
Seems like some polygons have vertices off-screen and these possibly aren't clipped - as such the polys "stretch" to off screen.

Hercules (2d game) - looks great, but only 4fps in-game.. Lots of parallax scrolling may be a reason for low fps?

Driver - ~6fps intro video, 15fps title screen, 3,4fps ingame (dmaCT=40%) - but again looks great

Great update nonetheless though!

[ruffnutts]

Exhumed is running so amazing now and so playable, yeh baby many thanks to the team you rock!!!

 

[Jarska333]

DOA - Still Does not work (ISO)

Get a better image, mine runs, at about 5-7 fps in-fight.

 

[Sonic-NKT]

Just run Silent Hill, overclocked @ 285mhz and get anywhere from 4-7 fps in game. Too slow to be playable but cool nonetheless

yes silent hill looks really cool on the gp2x, hope this one becomes playable with the dynarec

 

[LordFu]

Diablo runs now, at around 5-10 fps @ 240Mhz; 0 interlace. It crashed half-way through the first dungeon.

X-Com locks up after the intro video.

I'll check some more games today.
