Squidgesnes V0.37 Released

[Reesy]

Hi,

Just found something interesting and I thought I'd share. I just disabled the battery meter code in SquidgeSnes and gained an extra 10fps happy days.

You can find a download here

Sources are very very messy at moment but I've released them anyway in case I forget to later.

I'm still working on the new rendering routines, at the moment I estimate they should add an extra 10fps. Then I need to add the new sound core which should add another 5fps. The new rendering routines are in 8bit so they won't support transparency but 16bit mode will be available as well but of course that will be slower.

Please let me know if I've broken anything that used to be working.

cool, have to try it asap

wow!!!!!

chrono plays too fast!!!!

 

[jaesond]

Aww, you removed the automatic frameskip code?

Still, pretty damn impressive. Megaman X2 runs pretty much fullspeed at FS1.

Keep up the good work!

EDIT: Hm, it seems that Fast Sprites are...forced on or something?

EDIT #2!: I might have to stick with the older one for now, Reesy. Fast sprites are forced for some reason, no auto frameskip like the 0.35(?) version you released, and for some odd reason when I turned off and on backgrounds, later in play the BG thing popped back up, like that old Vol Min/Max problem.

Reesy, I thought you pretty much abandoned the project. Thank you so much!! You are like a one man army!!

 

[Vimacs]

WOW, just played a bit, way more enjoyable
greeeat

ps, goof troop seems to have some problem with layer sorting, makes things float above the main char, didnt notice that in older versions, but it may be a old bug.

Yup! Well, I did overclock, to 270. The only slowdown I really get is at the first boss.

GAH!!! Hurry up UPS with my SD card!! It's torture to see that UPS box containing my GP2X by my door, mocking me that I can't do anything with it until my damn SD card arrives (Only 6 more days! That's an eternity!). I haven't even opened the shipping box itself, I don't know how much longer I can go with awesome news like this!

Maybe some videos will keep me entertained? Anybody mind making some?

 

[DemonStar55]

hey it actually works for me! the last few haven't and I was always too lazy

 

[PSyMastR]

YAY! Thanks for this Reesy.

 

[Paradox]

awesome

 

[TyBO!]

Oh my GOD!!

Just reading the thread title made my day. I was starting to wonder if this would ever get updated again... glad to see it has!

Thanks Reesy.

Well if you've ordered lately then you should have access to 32mb of nand space. That's just enough to keep you going with a couple of snes roms

 

[jaesond]

Yeah, one thing I DO like is not needing CloneKeen2X now.

I do hope you add autoframeskip back in sometime soon, Reesy! That and remove the forced Fast Sprites, please! ;

 

[Horscht]

I can confirm vimacs bug. In 0.37 layer order seems to be wrong. Cherrys, Bananas and the like will be drawn above the char.

Bug not existent in 0.34. Speed inprovement ist awesome though!

 

[TelcoLou]

Sure. The one day I leave my '2X home and bring my DS instead

(Damn you Animal Crossing!!)
