Your best option is to ask the developer(s) of the emu to add support for vsync.

No, there is no global setting to force double buffering in all applications using SDL (if thats what you meant).

If your favourite emu doesn't have double buffering support, you'll have to add it yourself or ask the developer to add it.

Its GPL'ed, it can't be killed. Someone (some company maybe) will probably fork it.

Anyway, as for the previous issue with Bonk's Adventure having the wrong colors when loaded after a SuperGrafx game, I have found that the same symptoms result when you try to run Bonk's Adventure itself as a SuperGrafx game. So maybe the problem has to do with the emulator not switching back to a ...

I have a VERY small hard drive (60 GB). Most of it is filled with OS installations (XP, Fedora 7 and NetBSD). Quite a lot of it is also filled with dev tools (VS 2008 and VS.NET 2003, 4 installations of MingW) and SDKs (Windows, DDK, DirectX etc...). I also do programming on FPGAs (Xilinx mainly) an...

You know, even though your site looks simple, I like it.. it brings back memories of how most emulation sites used to look like last century (meant positively) :)

Indeed. Well, decided between: * Vectrex (loads of potential ideas there) * GBA (obviously) * SNES * or possibly something N64 related, since PJ64 stinks and plugins are crap. Wait....isn't it possible to write something like a "LLE" video/audio plugin for N64? As for "effective emul...

Displaying 16-bit on 32-bit does require conversion so yes it will be a little slower than 32-bit. But some emulators can render (like mine) directly in 32-bit which doesn't involve any conversion. I just did some quick benchmarking. I was running Sonic 3D in Regen 0.95. Note that the FPS I got are ...

The one-button to save, select-your-slot method has fucked me over big-time in some games, saving over my only slot right before dieing (Viewpoint), with no way to go back. Sure you can swap slots more often, but it's very annoying (be it via popup that freezes your game, or having to cycle back an...

Exactly, "F3 to select a save slot" instead of "shiftone". One million and one times faster, and one million and two times more convenient. I would argue that. I think that determining (ahead of time) the slot first (from where you are going to load/save) and then just pressing ...

Press "F3" to select slot.
Press "F2" to save to selected slot.
Press "F4" to load from selected slot.

I think you can even re-assign these keys but can't be sure of that. Read the manual.

That's ridiculous!! The C64 was just a 1.02MHz machine. How can it take a processor that's 2,000x more powerful to emulate it? Seriously, what kind of asshole makes an old-school 2D emulator that requires a Core 2 to get full speed? >:( Thats because: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/8416/1455beo...
