EXCELLENT NEWS!!!!

@koan

Human eye/brain notices differences more than those text explains.

I notice a lot when I change my monitor screenmode from 85-100Hz to 150Hz quite a lot. I notice the difference between 85Hz and 100Hz too...

Some of my friends heads hurts when they play some 3d videogames because speed is not constant.

It's not just about benchmarks... if you make a quick movement on a 3D game and your screen is showing 60 different frames at constant 60Hz screen refresh instead of e.g. 100Hz you will notice it a lot because if you make a quick movement to right or left (let's say 300 pixels are moved) with a 60Hz refresh it will be too jumpy, specially if you are looking specifically to that zone of the screen. With more fps, the gfx engine will have to skip less pixels so it will look smoother and will make your head hurt less.

BTW, with 3D games it's quite stupid not to limit maximum fps rate to your monitor refresh rate... and it's quite stupid to disable vsync too.

Persistence of images on CRT and Cinema is different.

On tests performed to pilots some of them can distinguish different models of planes at rates of 1/170th of second.

Just like some people hear more sounds than others... human senses are different on each person.

Since this is not available yet -or it is to some beta testers or long
posters- what other console emulators are available for MOS? Generally
speaking on emulators I have tried MAME and EUAE and they work really
great on MOS :o)....

Dont wont to go OT but the most WHDLoad Games are not able

Quite anoying

Is there any chance you can add standard ISO support instead of .cue only?

I have tons of PS1 games on disk and all are .iso

BTW: those "start CD" and "start file" buttons are quite confusing, if you need to change config before. Why not change cdrom.dll and cdimage.dll depending on the button pushed by the user?

@geit

Without a .cue file, the audio tracks can't be played as the .cue file contains information about the start of each audio track. However, most games should work fine without it.

As for "Start CD" and "Start File", they have little impact on the plugins you need use. For example, to play a movie on a PSX CD, you need cdimage/cdrom plugin, and even if you have a PSX exe file you want to start (in case you for example is developing your own game), you might still have files on a CD which the game needs to be able to load...

Is this problem still there, or did I manage to fix it?

@Amidog

no, it's screenshot from previous beta ;)

>Without a .cue file, the audio tracks can't be played as the .cue file contains information about the start of each audio track. However, most games should work fine without it.

Unfortunatly they don't and I only tried games which have no audio tracks. Its around 50:50 if a game is working or not. No clue why!

well, make a checkbox in setup which needs to be disabled unter those circumstances. Most users won't need a CD+ISO solution, they just want to play a game from the source named in button.

Have you tried those ISOs on a real PS1 or with some other emulator? Maybe some of them are broken? Not all games will work with FPSE, but many should. Have a look at the compatibility database. It might help to use a BIOS dump instead of BIOS emulation as well.

I don't really follow you here. Most users would probably select cdrom.dll or cdimage.dll, set it up, and then always use the "Start CD" button. And there's no need to change the CD plugin to start an EXE or play an MDEC instead. If you are using cdimage.dll but don't need a CD, simply press cancel when the plugin asks for the ISO. It wont harm anything.

No, I made them using MakeCD from my original CDs.

All those games work from original CD.

Of course I used BIOS image.

@amidog: thx for this great software and for the MorphOS version!

however i've got some problem with this new release. before i was using version 0.9r3 for OS4 with os4emu. it was working quite well, i even watched some ps1 demos with it. but with this new release these demos wont work anymore, and some games which worked with the 0.9r3 dont work with 0.10.2/mos (destruction derby raw for example).

but the speed increase is great with the new warp3d plugin, fe. collin mcrae rally now is fully playable on my g3 system (even with r200)...

Quote:
Did you make them with 2352 bytes/sector or just 2048? They need to be full 2352 bytes/sector or many games will fail. Some games may have copy protection as well, and then you need to rip the subchannels too.

Quote:
Haven't tried Destruction derby raw in a while, but it worked last time I tried it. Are you using a BIOS dump or BIOS emulation? Could you give me a few examples of demos which aren't working?

FPSE works waay better than previous os4 version here, both with gpupeops and gpuw3d. SW mode is even faster, and more accurate than GL. But maybe i play weird games . Ah, there are cdimage.dll hits when i quit game. I use RAW cd images.

great piece of sw as usual, and -yes- quite faster than the previous one.
3d works strange here: (known?) problems on Silent Hill (white square halo around characters, trees and other elements) and Tenchu I & II (can't see menu options, trail left by buildings when looking around/shooting) finally it seems slower than sw gpu on Mortal Kombat 4.
Moreover, it looks like it somehow "misses" screen dimensions leaving out the lower portion of games, but I should check better.

@amidog: if you need a detailed report I'll be glad to help

PS: Latest version seems not to recognize memory cards if run with BIOS emu

hello,

well, it's my turn to talk about this release ;)
i must says it is, hmmm, quite enjoyable, but still, a bit slow in 1600x1200 in w3d mode ;) (around 10-15 fps ?)

at least, we don't seem to have speed problem with radeon 9x00 and 8x00 like with os4, but it lack overlay, will it be implemented in a near future?

btw, thank you to Amidog for this enjoyable piece of software which give a second youth to my games :P

/me playing at 1024x768

Hope i didnt miss something but with what controler do you people use fpse?
I think its quite lame to play it with keyboard.

Any sugestions whats the best to do?

@dIGIMAN:

just assign keys to any usb pad with poseidon preferences.
A guide was on Obligement magazine, if I'm not wrong... anyway, it's quite a simple task.

I tried to do that wit Poseidon but it didn't work for me maybe you could post a link, or give a short how to.
