Squidge Snes 0.37

[pantera6]

I got squidge snes working
but many roms dont seem to be running at a good stable speed
some roms work ok, but most run at 2-9fps
i was just wondering if its bad roms i have or if the emu stlll needs to be improved.
thanks

If you'll overclock to like 250 ( should be possible ) games like megamann, mario world will run at maximal speed without sound ( some even with sound! ) and mario kart will run at 30fps without sound at 250mhz. And thats really playable!

Be sure to use the latest version ( 0.37a I think, with autoframeskip )

Oh, the emulator is still getting developed, I think reesy is trying to implent squidge's mmu hack into the emulator..

Cheers, David

thats cool
yes i think i might not have the .37a just 0.37
anyway, im not much of a computor person, could some one tell me how i could overclock snes to 250mhz? i am able to over clock stable to 290mhz.

#!/bin/sh

/mnt/sd/utilities/cpu_speed.gpe 1 2 270 0.6
./squidgesnesa.gpe
sync

cd /usr/gp2x/
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

Copy this into your favourite text editor.
Replace the underlined text in the third line with the exact path to your cpu_speed utility. And replace the 270 with your prefered clockspeed ( too high speeds may force the emulator to quit after the nintendo logo )

Then save it with unix line endings and name it "squidgesnes_overclocked.gpe" or something and copy it into your squidgesnes folder.

Get yourself 'programmers notepad' or something alonge these lines. I heard that will do it for windows users.

cool thanks
ive got it to work great
thanks for that
i only overclocked it to 250
would 270 or 280 let me play with sound without slowing the game down to much?

why dont you just try?...

 

[pantera6]

yes thats what i done lol
hey
new problem now
when it does play at 250, the screen goes fuzzy
how do i sort this out?
adjusting the gamma?

 

[Vimacs]

change the first number to 0 and the 2nd to something your screen likes, probably -1

If you are running the v2.0 firmware, you should be able to adjust the LCD from the settings menu (of the GP2X, not the emu.)

What exactly is that adjustment doing...because I can hardly see a difference in the LCD .. maybe my eyes suck?

Does nothing on MK2s. Also try the new hack that came out for SNES emulators.... heard some speedups were made =)
