There are probably thousands of other very enjoyable games that you could run on an o3DS.
Hey man, would you be able to help me with ps1 on my 3ds? I am got pcsx rearmed working on retroarch, but all my games seemed to capped at 30fps. I'm using the internal fps display in retroarch for this, so I don't know if it's right. Would you know how I could get them to run at 60fps? Mainly Crash Bandicoot. All my games are chd, and I'm using retroarch stable version 1.19.1. Any help is appreciated, and I hope you keep having fun on your 3ds!
I don't know why but the newest versions of pcsx runs worst than olders, i tried upgrading but was a mistake, Several of the games I played at 50fps or 60fps became worse or simply unplayable so I preferred to downgrade and return to the old version I had before.
Yeah that seems to be the case. I was wondering how you got your games to run at 60 fps on the old version? I downgraded to 1.16.0 and I am still capped at 30 fps. It looks like it's running at full speed with no stutters, but the framerate shows that it is only 30 fps. What program did you use to measure framerate? Thanks in advance.
My personal/optimal configuration to run all games at stable FPS:
Thanks, I'll try it out when I get home. I am on a new 3ds. I just said "old" in reference to the retroarch version; sorry for the confusion. Can I ask what retroarch version you're on? I've heard mixed things about recent versions but I don't want to downgrade so far that performance decreases. And sorry to ask again, but how did you measure the fps of your games? Retroarch has an internal fps display.
That's probably just the game, it was normal back then for games to run at 30 FPS or even less. Off the top of my head, the Zeldas on N64 run at 20 FPS, Banjo Kazooie also runs at around 20 FPS and Banjo Tooie runs at even less (down to around 15 FPS depending on the level). It was probably more common than not for early 3D games to run at 30 FPS or less. Some emulators measure differently (some might show VI/s which shows the vblank interrupts per second which will always say 60 when the game is running at full speed but doesn't take into account the actual framerate)
The games I'm trying to play are the Crash Bandicoot trilogy and Crash Team Racing. The compatibility list says they should run at 50-60fps, so I'm just not sure what's going wrong. Do you know any specifics on those games?
The core is the version 1.18.0 (r24l e5cb0939)
This is not an emulator, it is a simulator. Basically that means that someone created a lookalike of the PS1 bios for 3ds. It is not an emulator, it doesn't run PSX code, and cannot play games.
I will have to check the settings and the version I'm using, I never upgraded from the version that runs well for me and I remember most games running close to 60 FPS. One important detail is I normally use NTSC releases since they run at 60 FPS in comparison to PAL that is capped at 50 FPS, although I imagine some games have 30 FPS caps. Are you using NTSC (North American) or PAL (European) releases?
yeah for emulating PS1 games, a PSP (I genuinely recommend the Go, for several reasons, including the bluetooth audio option) or a Vita is the way to go
