Under the gun

So the end of June is coming up about as fast as we are writing code. We are regression testing the new CPU and APU cores and adding more speed tweaks. Configurable controls and selectable screen sizes are done. Also the graphics engine is getting what I will call for now some “special sauce”. Unfortunately we still are not at our target FPS but this new graphics enhancement should put the graphics performance problems to bed perminately. We’ve been getting alot of great feed back from everyone for new product features and we can’t wait to start cracking on them after to get through this performance cycle.

    Sounds good, Can’t wait for this to be finished.
    Is it possible to add a frame skip mode to make it run better?

  2. admin says:

    Frito, yes do have an auto-magic frame skipper implemented for when the emulator realizes that it’s under a heavier load and will adjust the frame rate. We’re taking every advantage we can.

    Although i can’t wait until your finished with the emulator, I like the fact that your taking the time to make it work properly, unlike other developers that have been rushing and taking shortcuts just to get there product on the market faster than others.

    My bad I ment to say “Skipmode to make it run smoother”
    Thats what frameskip does doesnt it?

    Looking forward to the release. I have a feeling that your group is going to raise the bar in terms of quality

    Although I already own other emulators, I’m anxiously awaiting the release of SuperGNES. Stability and accurate emulation are more important to me than being able to play a handful of roms on my G1 right now. HTC Magic owners will worship you for the on-screen controls.

    Thank you so much for doing this. I can’t wait to try this out, your hard work is VERY MUCH appreciated and I would love to show it when your final product is released. Thank you for really putting some quality effort into this, I know its gonna be great. I REALLY hope here is trackball support tho, that would really set this thing above and beyond any thing else being offered right now. Once again, thanks a lot.
