I have a bunch of SNES Roms, was curious as to how well most games run on the dstwo and how noticable any issues might be (dont have dstwo yet)

The latest update for CATSFC seems to have provided a good framerate boost on most of the games I play most notably F-Zero and BS Zelda AST and most other games run well already.

Yeah, CATSFC just updated within the last week with big speedups, so you might want to make sure info you read is from within the last few days, as it used to be a lot worse.

Compare 1.17... (Older, normal/slower.)
To 1.27... (Definitely a large improvement, playable now.)

And the guy's still working on it.

That said, if you want portable emulation look elsewhere, as even on the DSTwo, it lacks.

Many cameras only record at 24/30FPS (mine is 24FPS in HD mode), so the drops from fullspeed weren't picked up properly if they weren't that bad. As the video shows a lot more stuff is playable now, though if you're one of the people that always want full-speed play you might be aggravated.

For some reason the video isn't loading in this thread, and after looking for it again on YouTube I stumbled upon a fair amount of reviews of the DSTWO with NDSSFC, BAGSFC R3 or the first version of CATSFC in them. They look so disappointing. :(

I might make an updated video next week...or at some later point in time as a sort of follow up for my previous CATSFC video. I just haven't done it because of the number of revisions that have been occurring recently.

1.28 will be the last "big" playability version, but you may want to wait until 1.29 because I have many under-the-hood improvements planned for it, such as those dealing with writing settings files constantly and slowing down menu entry/exit.

I know I've been pushing the limits a lot recently ;)

Alright, 1.29 is released. Have at it ;) The improvements are listed in the main thread, so you can concentrate on showing those.

    @Xdqwerty, Exactly.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why not they just mine Monero instead of scamming vulnerable people? If they have a decent machine they can hit a jackpot at any given time.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, different cultures so probably they have their reasons
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yes a $2,000 rig for $5 a day
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Or could be in correlation to laws.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I remember that. Didn't Steam ban games with NFTs before somehow devs managed to circumvent it? Think EA tried to dabble in NFTs too.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad to hear people realise that NFTs aren't worth it these days. They realise that they're JPEGs hosted on a file-hosting site like AWS or Google Drive.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Atleast it has captions
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Meta also tried to create their own crypto, but that fell through.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Was called Libra, they had around 100 employees and wanted to hire more near to end of the year.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, idk why facebook tried to do that metaverse thing if mmo games already existed before
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And Yea I refuse to call it meta
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I refuse to call it Meta, too. It's a stupid name.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, then why did you call it like that a minute ago?
