snes9xgp

[bringoutthegimp]

ok, so the new snes9x has been submitted to "the competition" but why is not available for download on its site yet?

 

[NeoAP]

It's just a private version for now. But they will release a public version soon. So try to wait, I know it's hard!

See www.gp32news.com for info.

lol that sucks I WANT TO PLAY MARIO KART

 

[Mofokubik]

I wont expect anything in mode7 to run decent, but I hope something like Mario World or Chrono Trigger will be fast enough.

 

[bringoutthegimp]

did it not say that mode 7 games ran faster than normal games?

 

[davey g]

I think it means faster than before which isnt necessarily fast.

 

[bringoutthegimp]

ahum i see

 

[angrypants]

mode 7 games run at a decent enough speed for me on snesemu. I find f-zero on the emulator to be pretty nice. I hope the new version of snes9xgp can match snesemu as far as speed goes. If so I'll turn on sound and play it moderatly jumpy and be happy with it.

 

[Mofokubik]

Well, I just hope some of the more simple games run fast enough to play. I never was a big fan of F-Zero for snes, but I like Mario Kart.

 

[Dolfhin]

Just hope the rpg's rune fine

 

[Sonic-NKT]

would be nice if he inserts a overclocking feature with an 150, 156 and 166 option.
20 mhz more is still a bit faster, i mean before stop the project with no more release

 

[DarkGod]

There most likely won't be an overclocking option as I have e-mailed him about this (and so has Azure I think) and he was pretty strickt that he did not want to "fry everyone's GP32's" :\

Well, if normal games (without special chips) run fine with sound it would be enough for me. I really love Mario Kart, but it uses the FX chip which is much harder to emulate and it was a long time until a SNES emulator for the PC even run that game, so I don't think the GP32 can do that with full speed since it has to emulate another CPU.
BTW, at which speed does the current version of the SNES emulator runs?

 

[TandeM]

Mario Kart only uses a DSP chip to aid Mode 7 processing. The actual SuperFX2 chip ran at 21MHz (faster than the GBA core, though less feature-packed). There's also the SA-1 used in Kirby Fun Pack/Super Star/Super Deluxe and Dream Land 3, plus Mario RPG, which is something like an extra SNES CPU core.

The FX chip is a lot harder to emulate, but AFAIK Mario Kart just uses mode-7 scaling, not the FX chip. You'll notice that the ground is the only thing in that game that does anything remotely 3D, the rest is all 2d, which corresponds with mode-7 capabilities.

I'd imagine that it was simply that most emulators did mode7 really poorly to begin with.

 

[Octoate]

Ah, ok, I think I merged something...
But the FX chip was used in Starfox, right?

 

[NiN^_^NiN]

Yeah the fx chip was used in starfox or down here in australia its called starwing

[Swiss_Cheeseman]

Where did lylat wars (or something) come from? I remember hearing that somewhere.

 

[NiN^_^NiN]

lylat wars is the PAL n64 version of starfox64

I have it in my hand right now

Its named lylat wars cause the solar system is lylat and your having a war in it

why they didnt names it starwing 64 have no idea ???

But i do remember seeing a game called star fox for the c64 (Pal only release) so i guess thats why the first game was named starwing and not starfox the name is prob still copyrighted but im not sure???

[bringoutthegimp]

so when is it coming out then?? its annoying waiting
