Frame Rate & Autoframeskip ?'s and other ?'s
Is there any difference when you leave the autoframeskip option on or off? If I do leave it off will that make the game run smoother. Sometimes on some games when I get 45 FPS or even 55 FPS i can see some, but rather minor jerkiness in the game.
I am using ZSNES 0313 WIP Windows Version. My specs are Celeron 366, WinXP, 192 MB RAM, 4MB Video. Since I am on the laptop, whenever I use the 640x480 resolution, i can see the big black border surrounding the screen. I use the DR mode for 640x480 b/c the other modes, I get at most 10 FPS while the DR mode I get anywhere from 40 - 60 FPS. I like the 320x240 resolution or was it 320x200, anyways that resolution it pretty much fills up the whole screen, but that was another emulator and I don't think ZSNES win supports that low of a resolution.
One last question, what would be the optimal configuration for a slow computer like mine to get 60 FPS pretty much anywhere. Thanks for your help and sorry if I ask a lot of ?'s.

The game should run smooother if you have auto frameskip off and set at zero, but this requires more CPU power.
