ZSNES board

I'm having trouble understanding your choice of 800x600.. is this simply the lowest standard DirectX resolution larger than 720x576, or is there a more significant reason for choosing it? If not then I think you should drop it from your explanation, as it makes things pretty confusing: we should do ...

It concerns SNES ddevelopment in that SNES developers would want to DISABLE them if they want to accurately test there game and determine if it will work on a real console. No, it doesn't effect emulation at all. It only effects the end user experience. That said, the developer might want to ensure...

I can detect it on some drivers, but not all. But you run into issues with the PC suddenly getting a spike in CPU usage and it throwing your values way off to compensate. Then you end up with much worse video and sound for a longer period of time. A manual value would correct itself as soon as the ...

Ugh, popups suck. I agree, which is why I would like it to be a button placed next to the slider. If you press it you'd be asked how long calibration should take (with some sensible default value), after which bsnes would run the game for that amount of time and adjust the slider. (it'd be nice if ...

To get the same range as the old +/- up to 200hz in either direction, my slider had to step by increments of 0.00003%, which seemed overly verbose. Can I suggest you use something like ppm instead? I doubt the adjustment will be anywhere near 1% for anyone by the sound of things.. Where it got bad ...

I was gonna work on it tonight, but then I took my parents to see The Dark Knight <.< Might still get something done though.

Because of the way shaders work, we cannot resize the input to a 4800*2700 image before processing (at least in the current implementation). We get a 1024x1024 image from bsnes of which only a part is in use (i.e. 256x224 for unfiltered low-res NTSC), and we output to whatever scale factor you have ...

If you -really- want to change the setting to something weird, perhaps allow that through the advanced options, then gray out the slider as long as the value is invalid. You know you're not supposed to mess with it like that, so it's your own risk.

2. A filter that takes the current frame, combines it with the last frame (with adjustable ratio) and displays the result? Would help with flickering effects (player gets hit etc.) This can be done using shaders. If I get the chance I'll see if I can whip up an example of this (if I remember how it...

I'll see if I can get some testing in later; can you recommend any games for me to try?

Presumably it's delayed by a fifth of a second plus whatever delay your hardware introduces (probably negligible in comparison). Whether or not that's noticeable probably depends mainly on the game you're playing, i.e. for a fast-paced game it should be easy to notice.

Great job, byuu! I'm way too far behind you guys to help on this, considering I'm still working on my first directsound program :P Do note that I intend to use 100% CPU time with vsync enabled. While we technically can get away with a small sleep, Windows has the annoying habit of sleeping much more...

So in integer terms that would be int in_rate = 32040; int out_rate = 48000; void play_sample( int ); // SPC-700 DSP emulator calls this each time it generates a sample void dsp_sample( int curr ) { static int prev = 0; static int frac = 0; // Interpolate and play whatever samples can be generated f...

I think my laptop goes to 50Hz sometimes to save power. Annoyingly it does this while reporting 60Hz - although I think power saving is broken entirely in Vista x64 (due to some odd BIOS bugs)

Overall, of course, you'll be getting almost exactly 32040 samples per second worth of input. They'd just be coming in at sporadic intervals. What's the biggest this interval can get? At the moment bsnes sends any samples to the sound card as soon as they're ready, right? So if you set the sound la...

Lots of games use blinking sprites and frameskip 1 will literally make things invisible or impossible to know if you've been hit. And anything over 1 is an absolute slideshow, I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying themselves with it. I think that's a good argument for using the alternating metho...

What's your current system like? (I'm also trying to remember where you live; I seem to recall you have a PAL SNES but that's as far as I got )

Excellent work byuu, it's been a joy to watch your progress as usual
To make franpa's statement into a somewhat more reasonable question: do you have anything left to verify about this - or is there anything you're not sure about because you don't have the means to check it out?

Well done everyone! I've been quietly following the research thread for about two weeks, and it's been amazing to see the constant activity there

Is mode 0 decompression enabled in those latest screenshots? Pretty nifty result Watching the SPC7110 discussion progress is pretty exciting, I'm glad neviksti posted the link over here.

PS: Might have some time for testing tomorrow after I get home.

I've long wondered if Creative hide anti-competitive practices behind a veil of incompetence

Perhaps it would be worthwhile to make a 'save current data before loading quicksave' option.. that way you would at least have an undo button. I always forget which button means save and which means load (even when I use a program often.. I much prefer the system Snes9x uses, but that's just me) so...

And if you enabled the option before going in? I've never even heard of this issue you're talking about anyway, it's little use coming up with hyopthetical doomsday scenarios that have never been reported and would likely be the system's fault if they were. If you enable the option before ever test...

And I don't see how the perma-mode is immune to a broken fullscreen. What's the difference between toggling there or setting it up to start there? They both go there and can be toggled out. You wouldn't enable perma-mode until you know the fullscreen mode works.. it's probably not immune, but it's ...

VG, b: Testing with headphones sets the limit to ca. 32 Hz - sounds a bit like a distant chopper. Even lower frequencies can only be heard by increasing the volume, but I don't know if I'm actually hearing the sound, or some interference created by it. :? 32Hz is already a lot better - quite a few ...
