res evil 1 directors cut @ 266

still freezes at "violence / gore" warning vs 32 fr 15

 

[drokkeh]

Gonna d/l now and check it out. hmmmm...good playstation games? i sold mine after completing FF7 circa 1997 (to pay for my gf to come over from spain at the time....should have kept the PS!)

Probably missed a few good games to boot.

gargen: Try at 285MHz but use a VSyncRate of ~5000. Set it by pressing PUSH+VolumeDown twice after loading the game. It will probably help speed up that game, and other games that seem "capped" at a certain speed even if overclocked.

Let me know.

Changes:
- New root counters. Timings are now correct. Things like the ships spin at the correct speed in Wipeout XL's menu.
- VSyncRate can be changed during gameplay via PUSH+Volume.
- GTE edited to improve compatibility.
- Modified interpreter used instead of going the dynarec route. The ARM assembly interpreter is being redone right now.
- Sound is available to be turned on.
- Lots of various compatibility fixes.
- Save states should work again.
- etc...

The directors cut ran for me on previous betas. I haven't tried it on this one yet.

res evil 1 dc didn't run for me under 3c - may be bad rom only then, sorry

 

[zodttd]

EDIT:
***
Make sure a game actually didn't freeze due to the default VSyncRate timing. You should use the PUSH+Stick to change the VSyncRate before the freeze occurs (and possibly during) to see if you can get it "unstuck".

If you find a game becomes unstuck after changing the default VSyncRate value, let me know what value works! Thanks!

having a dick of a job setting vsync using your mrthod zod, probably doesn't help that i've lost joystick cap grr

 

[doc5avage]

Canna get Chrono Cross going. Alls I get is the blank screen and it seems to instantly lock up. no time to change vsync rate. Is there anyway to change vsync before loading the game?

WCW Mayhem is as fast as it ever ran on the GP2X overclocked at 266MHZ but needs a speed boost. I'm impressed and the sound is clear even though its of course much faster with it off.

 

[paxl13]

Damn, I want my GP2x up to 266 :S..
My Gp2x support 250 barely and 245 steady :S

I want 266 !!!

Good job Zodttd

Are you guys rememberig to tweak the timings with "ClickStick & VOL+/-"?
I'll try and do some video caps tomorrow. It's kinda late now and I'm heading to bed

 

[Jarska333]

ToDo: Volume buttons don't chance volume. My ears are ringing...

 

[Melville]

Is anyone playnig Wipeout 2097 or Wip3out? What's the playability like with this version?

I loved those games and will have to track them down if they're playable on the 2x.

Great work Zottd!
