No...you can get decent speeds without sound at 133mhz. Without sound it's really fast. At 160mhz, nearly all games run at full speed without sound.Akuma no Houkon posted on Apr 6 2004 at 04:09 PM said:Your GP32 needs to be able to OC to 166 to get decent speed without sound in OS9x. If you cant go that high, dont bother. If you dont enjoy most of those games without sound (like me) dont bother. Otherwise have at it!
I tried my entire collection of games at 133 and 140 without sound and they were all unplayable speeds (I tried all the different settings to try and get the best/lowest with no changes really). I base my judgement off of that simple fact. SOME were playable 150, however, my GP32 locks up randomly at 150.Azure posted on Apr 7 2004 at 12:37 AM said:No...you can get decent speeds without sound at 133mhz. Without sound it's really fast.

Yes but LittleJohn is extremely slow IF you goto the options menu in game, then back to the game, it plays at a VERY unplayable speed. Which has been confirmed by others who get the same results as I do, doing the very same thing that I do. It plays fine if you never goto the menu. But about %50 of the time, on me, and others, when I goto the menu and back to the game it becomes unplayable.Azure posted on Apr 7 2004 at 12:55 AM said:Hmm...were you the same guy who complained that LJGP32 was slow?
wellOs9xGp is slow at 166mhz for me unless you put the frameskip to about 3 (or above - in which case it just becomes jumpy) But most things r playable at about 90% speed.
however as was said earlier, most games suck without sound
8-9 playable? Sure on some games maybe, games that are not action, like RPGs, but if you notice on that list, those were WITHOUT sound and at 156 or 166 most of the time. You add sound, and that is an instant -2. So that 8-9 becomes 6-7.Azure posted on Apr 7 2004 at 01:09 AM said:I'd consider 8-9 playable. Wouldn't you?
3-4 is the most to me... I wouldn't be able to see myself playing many games at that kind of frame skip... might have a go laterAzure posted on Apr 7 2004 at 04:09 AM said:I'd consider 8-9 playable. Wouldn't you?
Exactly.Octavious posted on Apr 6 2004 at 05:56 PM said:he is taling about game ratings not FS
and thats the best emu, so ther isnt really much point to this thing
just use osnes9x and if it dosnt work, wait till next release

Peace,
I hope I can ask this question,is there a SNES Emu anywhere that can run Games in Full speed or a compability list for a good one??
Most Games seem to be slow:-(
Peace,
Exactally. You cannot base the speed and playability of an emulator on a very few games that happen to run at decent speeds. I see constant comments in many threads on these forums that talk about how great the full speed with sound emulation is on OS9x, and honestly I have yet to see that, even at 150mhz. People tend to get over excited and a little boastfull when talking about the GP32 (understandable) but they also tend to exagerate the snes emulation a bit. They will even go as far as listing the few games that actually run decently and think that by naming a couple games they are validating their claim.Mikey posted on Apr 7 2004 at 05:26 AM said:I gotta agree with Akuma unless I overclock to 150 (my GP won't go above that) most games (to me at least) are too slow to be playable, I say most there are some that seem fine at even 133. Most however are just too slow for my taste. There are plenty of games that I find too slow even at 150 and for me sound just grinds it to a crawl. There are exeptions, but its all down to the individual game and personal taste.
Mikey you should consider sending your GP32 to mashmods for the voltage mod
