[SuperDan]

Really the oy game I'm interested in is Metal Gear Solid .. Lemme know if you ever try it

 

[8BitWonder]

Well color me surprised, I didn't think we'd see any more improvements in PS1 emulation on the 3DS.

 

[Young_Pyromancer]

time to give final fantasy: tactics advanced another shot.

 

[Osakasan]

Yeah, this is the advancement we were waiting on. I guess this will be avaiable in the next nightly? In so far i'm using an unnoficial build and seems promising, but i want to test the official one

Anyone know how to get it to work? constantly getting an ARM11 exception when trying to boot the game. If you need the error dump, let me know.

Wich game are you trying to boot? So far i'm able to play Symphony of the Night and Ridge Racer Type IV

They added CHD support too so try to convert it to that format

 

[Osakasan]

Sorry por the double post but got a crash while playing Symphony of the Night, right at the moment Dracula's sprite started to morph in the prologue battle

I wasn't using stock setting though. I set the resolution on Integral scale 1x and disabled bilineal filtering.

What are some games that run in fullspeed? Spyro 2 only gets 20 FPS Well, I'll just use my Switch I guess...

We can't expect all games to run at 60 fps like that. This is a huge advancement, now we just need to wait for optimizations

 

[djleviticus]

Great, but still can't get the zx spectrum Fuse emulator to work Boo!!!!!

I've been able to get spyro 2 Eu Pal to play at 50fps with the right settings:
Pal bios
Vsync off
Audiosync on
Bilinear filtering off(not sure if necessary)
Lighting off (under advanced settings when running games under options)
Interpolation off
Reverb off (not sure if necessary)
Rom converted to .pbp/.chd from .bin .cue <- Very important step!

I'm gonna test it on O3DS, I refuse to replace it

Please do test it. I would be interested in seeing how the old 3ds fares. Go for the 2d games so Rayman, Bomberman World, Metal Slug, Rapid Reload etc..

Actually I guess I could test with the n3ds set to 3ds clocks... Hmm...
Apparently not. Retroarch changes back to n3ds clock speeds.
I did just test Parasite Eve and it runs amazingly well. I'd almost think that you could run it on an o3ds with the right settings too.

tbf w the o3ds it might run well w optimisation over time along w settings

for 2d games and lightweightER games

 

[Rahkeesh]

2D games running great now, WITH sound. SotN giving me arm11 exceptions though.

 

[Osakasan]

I'm going to test more today. Curious about what games will run full speed without touching anything
