does it use openGL for rendering, or is it only software mode?

only in software (gpupeops)

oooohhhh gpupeops .... it rocks!
any chance for some preview screenshots?

And what about gpuw3d?

mos version looks the same as os3/os4 version
i have 31 fps in my favourite test game: "Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0" without JIT compiler (Peg2 G4 512 mb)

i wonder if my 600mhz G3 can have a playable speed...

i have watched several psx demos with the version which is working under os4emu guess it could be just better:)

Quote:

Also my case: I briefly tried Gran Turismo and Tekken 3 (big classics, that perhaps don't push the original hardware to its limits) and speed was a tad slower than on the real thing. Also saw some graphics glitches.
I'd rather have original games written for MorphOS but this emulation thing is nice: We can enjoy the work of teams of dozens of people, making complex and polished games.

Quote:

exactly:) altough i'd prefer a N64 emu for that (imagine: concker on morphos:)))

i've got soul edge for the ps1 and its damn slow on my system with the working fpse.

does the mos version uses altivec maybe?

31fps only???
not that I am ungratefull, but... can't it be better?
I remember Connectix VGS was running fullspeed on my pentiumII/400 and it had software rendering

@keropi

from guide:
"Note that the number of displayed frames may be way below 50 even when no frame
skipping is used since the PSX games may not have been written to output 50 fps.
For example Ridge Racer is written to show 25 fps and will thus give the values
"0050 0025" when running at full speed."[quote]

and emulator has had the jit option turned off

how do you change cdrom?
seems it has no way to configurer cdrom.
when i press Start-CD it does not even spin my dvdrom.

Setup the cdrom module instead of cdnul and use the config button beneath which provides device/unit.

hmm, i got it to spin cd now, but nothing happens.
just spins the cd, i see 100% cpu in use so it tries to run or something.
Anyone started psx game from cd?
btw, everyone using 68k version or 0S4?

how do i make a iso file for the emulator?
tried to get makecd to do it, but it a very hard layout on that prog.
never liked it from my Amiga time.

Then something else is misconfigured.


Plugin section:

GPU: gpuw3d.dll
SPU spuwave.dll
JOY0 joykey.dll
cd cdimage.dll or cdrom.dll -> use config to setup device/unit
others to #?null.dll

Bios section:

Logo -> on
emulation -> off
file -> bios/scph1001.bin (make sure its there)

> Anyone started psx game from cd?

yes, I do.

> btw, everyone using 68k version or 0S4?
OS4 version is not working.

Make sure you setup right CDRom and target path in settings, first.

Quite easy. Insert CD, choose "add entire CD" from menu. Then push "create images" button.
Thats all.

Even 3d works fine. Sound gets a little jumpy but I guess with a ppc version this would be nice like hell.
All I miss is a proper lowlevel.library support, but I may have missed that.

I only noticed that some isos aren't working and end up in PSX-CDPlayer mode, while the game itself works from CD.

@keropi

The human eye response is not that good!

Persistence of vision means that above 15 Hz appears constant, With 30 Hz it should be impossible to see flicker with the centre of your vision. Have you ever watched NTSC television and see flicker ? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_fusion_threshold

If you take a Playstation designed for use with TV, it must paint images at 30 Hz (full screen) maximum. Big fps are only for benchmarks. Movies are only 48 fps (because they are 24 fps double shuttered).

If you know differently please say! This is my research field...

trying out finalfantasy tactics, but stops after squaresoft logo?
anyone got this problem, im gonna try image file tonight.
maybe that willl work.

Anyone playing OS3 version fullscreen (+scale)?

That's weird, because i was playing in FFT on v0.09, and it was working fine (exept movies)

does fpse take .raw format image files?
im trying to run FFT Us version.
Any way to resize window?

unfortunatelly I am one from few people that can tell the difference...
I can see the PAL screens flicker like hell, and whenever you have a game displaying 60fps and suddenly there is a drop to 55 I can tell... I see many ppl that really enjoy games even if they are 15-20fps, but I can't... this thing haunts me

> does fpse take .raw format image files?

I don't know. I was using real CD.

> im trying to run FFT Us version.

Just like me ;)

> Any way to resize window?

I don't know. I was playing in fullscreen mode.

@keropi

Yes, there are persons who see difference in FPS. It's individual, like hearing difference in audio quality.

@koan

Do you really live in Japan?

Wish that this will be available to the public soon even in beta
version. Got some PSX games to test :)

ok, new version uses libnix instead of ixemul and it is much more stable. Jit is working ok so Colin2 has 45 fps :)
