ZSNES board

I tossed out all my NPs (~1991-96) for recycling about a year ago. A couple of months ago, I had this hankering to look through Benimaru Itoh's comics.

D'oh.

All right, I see. Thanks for the explanation. This does seem like a feature that will eventually be implemented, though. In the emulators themselves or the handful of Super FX roms out there, or both. If not by the main coders, then by others. I only know rudimentary Java and C++, so, er, it's not g...

Joe: no, not faster , but smoother . I don't mind the speed at which things progress. If it were faster, the game would be harder. I don't want that. I want it to be less choppy. grinvader: I went ahead and read that earlier debate. I'll repeat the very good points others made: if you really, truly ...

Again, all this clearing up is great. I wouldn't consider it "bastardization." What's wrong with overcoming technical limitations of the past? Sure, the developers of many SNES games worked within the limitations of hardware/software and made some really charming and surprising stuff, and ...

Does it speed it up, or keep it the same speed but make it smoother? There's an important difference. I guess this does kind of fall outside "accurate emulation." It's more of an enhancement. Then again, there's all sorts of little things implemented into ZSNES that enhance rather than fai...

OK, thanks for clearing that up, Noxious.

To everyone else: I'm NOT having trouble with emulator speed. I'm getting 60/60. I'm asking whether the ZSNES coders could get SuperFX games THEMSELVES to run at higher fps.

(Sorry for the confusion ... but this can't be that hard to understand :p )

Noxious: yeah, the fps counter is usually always around 60/60. So SuperFX rendering speed and emu speed are two different things? (Star Fox THE GAME sure as heck doesn't look like it's running at 60 fps :/ )

Hrm, all right, I unwittingly exaggerated. I just played a little bit of it, and the fps might be closer to 20 or 25. Sorry about that.

But even that seems choppy, and my question is still valid, I think. Can the Super FX framerate be increased while keeping the gameplay speed constant?

OK, maybe it goes up to 15 fps during normal gameplay. That's the way the original cart plays on the SNES, too. There's also the occasional slowdown. Are you guys saying SF emulated should run from 30-60 fps at normal speed? Is this a feature that's already implemented into ZSNES? Kinda doubting tha...

No, I only get about 10 fps. I'm ASKING if it would be possible to program smoother emulation. I was asking FOR 60 fps. Or 30. Or something around there. Something better than 10. (Yes, I can get 30 fps or so by fast-forwarding, but I'm not asking for that. I'm asking for regular play speed at a hig...

Hey there. I realize work on Super FX emulation isn't even done yet, and emu performance varies from game to game, but I was wondering if there were plans to run make it possible to run Super FX games at higher framerates. Star Fox, for example, runs at about 10 fps (right?). Since it uses polygons,...
