Squidgesnes 0.35 Hack

[hercule18]

Hi,

i tried 3 games with both emus.

with squidge settings:

SMW @266 fs1 with sound enabled it seems fullspeed and sound is clear.
SMK @266 fs1 wiht sound enabled it's choppy, but it near playable and sound is clear
Star Ocean @266 fs1 with sound enabled does not even start.

Whith yoyo settings

SMW @266 fs1 with sound enabled it's choppy and slow and sound does not work.
SMK @266 fs1 wiht sound enabbled the game freeze in menus it's choppy and no sound.
Star Ocean @266 fs1 with sound enabled does not even start.

Bye

Has anyone had a problem with the older hack version I (or Nobody58565 )released in the beta section?

​

nope that one worked just fine for us

@ noreason:

well, not for all of us
the beta version wouldn't even load a single game for me and kept on crashing the gp2x.

@ primeris:

strange, for the volume trick indeed works well with me.
i just tried it a dozen times this morning.

i must have missed something for my version doesn't permir overcloaking and stays at 200 mhz. :/

Just tried this now, the sound is excellent and all my roms seem to load now. In the version before I had some issues loading roms. now its all fixed. Huzzah!

Hm ... this Version seems to be slower than the previous in the BETA-Section

​

yes - noticed that, too. but i found another problem:

when i start my gp2x and go directly to the 0.35 hack and start it, i have no sound...
but when i first start the 0.34 hack from the beta-section and then start the 0.35 hack, i get sound...

and the 0.35 hack doesn´t like smc images. with the same file zipped, it works

​

my smc images work ok and also this is slower than beta .34, the graphics are mangled now in super ghouls and gohsts.

standard firmware 1.2.1

-Observation not critisim

When I get home i will try this right away

 

[Gruntfuggly]

I got black screen/skin first thing I tried, but after that it was fine.

Lemmings: Excellent
Worms: Excellent
SMC: Stopped at the race with some odd graphics problems
Puzzle Bobble: Very choppy
Rampart: Slow and choppy

Every time I use this emu I have to change the settings, it doesnt save them, I have checked the config file and it is empty.

Any Ideas, can someone send a link toa working config file?

cheers

Excellent work Reesy. I'm yet to try any of yours hacks, but from what people say it sounds promising.

Would it be possible to add support for JMA compressed ROMs? I've used this to compress all of my SNES ROMs and it greatly reduces the size compared to compressed ZIP files. I don't know much about the format, other than it was designed for compressing ROMs and you need to use NSRT to compress into this format. http://nsrt.edgeemu.com/forum/portal.php

Cant load any game either zip/unzipped, all i get is the grey Squidgesnes backdrop.

I am using theoddbots firmware.

 

[B4N5H33]

the "nobody"-verision worked great for me. everything loaded ok, no crashes

in the new versions i need to use the "commander keen" trick to get sound...and the first time i try to load a rom, it will fail. but the second time it works...ah and it only works with zip-files

Mines works fine without zipping or running anything before another rom with sound on 1.4 fw.

I am impressed, I have a steady 35+fps in Final Fantasy 5 and that is with my GP2X clocked at 200mhz.
However there is now huge graphical corruption on a map screen in Final Fantasy 5, it is basically a block of color with stripes on it.
It's only about a minute or two into the game if you wanna try yourself.

Edit: Even more weirdness in a battle, I can't see what attack I am selecting.
Edit2: This is going to be unplayable, there is weird shit happening everywhere (I just tried Super Mario Kart - I can't see the ground!).
This is with using smc files, and a power adaptor.
Edit3: Zelda has about 4fps. : (

It seems games like most games are stuck at a high Frameskip,very choppy.

Re the graphics corruption try the squidge settings version, it sorts out the problems you mentioned in FFV for me, in places it runs up to 60fps @ 266mhz and the main map is fine and the text boxes are correct.

If things feel sluggish turn off v-sync, I saw my frame rate increase without any of the flickering that was in previous versions of squidgesnes without v-sync enabled.

Finally, to add to the mix I couldn't run the orginal squidgesnes 0.35 on any f/w revision, it always crashed and the commander keen trick didn't work.

These two versions work just fine for me :blink:

I am currently running on cramfs 0.0.4.

Squidgesnes 0.35 Reesy build with squidge settings.

Uncompressed roms in the squidgesnes rom directory.

Use full screen scaling - false

Show FPS - true

Enable v-sync - false

FPS limiter - false

Transhack-A V0.1 - false

Frameskip: 0

Fast sprites - false

Audio processor enable - true

Audio processor mute - false

Use absolute rom directory - false

SNES action buttons - false

Battery warning - disabled

I hope this helps.

Well I would try but both binaries now have stopped working completely, when I choose a rom it just sits there with the skin shown, but no game on the screen. BLA

Edit: working again!?!?

 

[aapje89]

weird 0_O, ill be back with my own reports in a few mins...

 

[Hanz™]

Okay it worked and FF5 loaded and worked fine - did not play past the map scene though.
However SMK is even more broken in this version, there is just a black screen when you start a race (with sound). And although it draws FF6 fine, only at about 4fps!

 

[sand_man]

It doesn't work for me no matter what I try. But I'm just happy that Reesy said he will keep working on it until it's done. Thanks Reesy & Squidge.
