ZSNES board

What are the benefits of using SJ over the SNESAmp plugin for Winamp? Aside from having a visual representation of the output,channel status and more organized playlists,is there anything SJ does better than SNESAmp in terms of sound accuracy/quality?

Then why do I get only 45fps with NEStopia (with a HQ4x filter) when using VRAM and solid 60fps when using System memory?
On the other hand,when using a hardware bilinear filter or no filter at all,VRAM is notably faster than system RAM.

For those without a monster PC and SSE3 support,there's always MAME/MESS which emulates the Saturn pretty good (except for the SCSP sound chip) and the only one that works great with older CPUs,such as the AthlonXP3200+ (SSE1).

Yes,but that's not always true. Imagine this situation: You have an old machine with Dual-Channel DDR400 system memory and an old 64MB AGP GFX card with slow 200MHz DDR framebuffer.Run any emulator at 1600x1200 or higher resolution with a HQ3x/4x filter. Emulation with software filters will always r...

The xbox shares main memory with video memory (no blitting required) so you don't need to worry about the copying. Thats why it runs so fast. Is there an option in ZSNES (the standard PC version) to force the emulator to use System Memory instead of VRAM for graphics display (as in NEStopia)? That ...

Just compile an i686-optimized build with release-grade optimizations and you'll be fine.
Works great on Pentium III or AthlonXP machines.

This one is the best you can get:

Just look at those lovely pics

Just kidding - Get NEStopia
The #1 multiplatform OpenSource NES emulator.Accept no substitutes.

Will we ever see this in a Genesis emulator or a VGM player? Quote from Wikipedia: Another curious modification to the Genesis hardware is to replace the stock 68000 processor with a 68010. Since the CPU isn't socketed, this requires the removal of the old CPU, and soldering in of the new. The 68010...

1. Kid Icarus.One of the best Nintendo games ever,comparable to Metroid and Zelda. I hope a Wii or DS sequel is released.If they can make it better than the phenomenal GameBoy version,it'll be like heaven :) 2. A Donkey Kong (Country) platform game _not_ by RARE. 3. Solar Striker - Do you remember N...

As far as hard games go, I'd put Gradius III on master (or was it impossible?) mode near the top. THAT game was unforgiving. The Japanese arcade version is much harder.Even the EASY mode is too much of a challenge.It's so d***n hard! For a good shmup challenge,try Phalanx for the SNES on "Funn...

TechnoSylph (VSys Gaiden) - one of the best Japanese shmups out there
Also try the German shmup "Hornado" - very good horizontal blaster.

Here's a good read: http://www.driverheaven.net/showthread.php?t=119630 Feature comparison (XM7.1 vs. X-Fi): http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/auzentech/meridian2.php The Auzentech Meridian 7.1 is fantastic as an audiophile/HTPC card. It may be not that good for gaming (if hardware processing and ...

I have a few 'oxidized' cartidges which turned all yellow :) All Nintendo cartridges begin to 'rot' after some time,even the tough US SNES cartridges. I've seen rotten Gameboy,NES,SNES and even N64 cartridges. The old GameBoy,NES and SNES consoles are most susceptible to this plastic rot.Haven't see...

Target Earth's story was heavily censored and cut during the translation,even more than the Assault Suits Valken one.That's why I'm looking for a fan- translated one And speaking of HARD games,try Jim Power for the SNES. One of the hardest games ever made.The later levels are a nightmare,especially ...

The good old Audigy2 can also do this.

Then,I think the very expensive X-Fi Elite Pro is the best solution for you (if you got the cash).The best of both worlds. Who the #$%# needs 192kHz anyway? It's just a silly marketing trick with no benefit at all. Actually,sound quality is even worse at 192kHz than at 96kHz.That's for all currently...

Looks like a 3D version of HQxX,judging from the demo.

The best I saw in emulators like ePSXe/PJ64,etc. was 2xSAI filtering.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein,Serious Sam 2,Sonic Adventure DX,Fallout 2 and Tactics,Red Faction,the Project64 emulator,Max Payne 2?...

Just look what they've done to good ol' RARE

Very bad news,if true
I wish Konami bought Capcom
MS tends to ruin every company it purchases.Using tactics like 'Divide & Conquer' and 'Assimilate and Destroy')

Not when your noise floor is already far too low to hear... It'd really only matter for recording. 8dB difference for DACs (playback) is plenty,but the difference in the ADCs (recording) between the X-Fi Platinum and Elite Pro is much greater. I'd go for an E-MU (This is _not_ Creative,they were bo...

It was Nitsuja and his VBA Rerecording build (HQ2xS / HQ3xS filters)

Nice find,Metatron.It cleared up my doubts about Metal Warriors.What's even more interesting is there's a GBA version as well

Now I just need to find that English translation patch for Assault Suits Leynos for the MegaDrive (if such a thing exists)

Then who the f*** is this Syffer Gydan guy (on GameFAQs) saying that Metal Warriors = Assault Suits Gideon (a part of the Assault Suits series) ?

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/review/R54987.html

Never heard of Assault Suits Gideon before.Did he mean Gaiden?

Any plans of adding HQ5x and HQ6x in the future?
(useful for hi-res displays above 1600x1200)
Or HQxXS (with sprite smoothing)
