Don't think so. I just make savestates afterwards.
Wonderswan ran at 75hz.

fMSX savestates are working now. :yay:

My friend wants to back up PS1 Final Fantasy 7 games to play on the emulator on his N3DS. Question is whether the emulator supports multi disc game (Need to change disc at some point)? If it's possible please, give me instructions so I can explain to my friend. Thanks.

How this this guy get 50.+ fps for FF7?

yes it does support disc switching (Core Disc Options> Disc Index)
How this this guy get 50.+ fps for FF7?> did you check the OP, I wrote it there ;)
(set A/V synch to off and sound interpolation to the lowest possible (nearest?) can't find this setting anymore)
I know I'm running Parasite Eve at the same speed.
Just tried on 3DSX builds, could not get more than 20fps... you definitely need a 9.2< system and CIA/Gateway rom build to reach that speed.

Better DSP support might help increase speed in the near future.

But I guess if you friend want to play this RIGHT NOW on n3DS, he should use the UK version of the game, which runs at 50Hz locked.

@Slasher115 What was broken with Neo Geo ? (mine worked fine (did some testing with 3DSX/3DS/CIA with the 27 or 28-10 version I think :))

Added to the OP :
- info and link about new blargSnes (2.5HAX) (for use in place of catsfc for now for o3DS 3dsx users)
- some other stuff about IPS and arcade parent/clone system

More info on this that might help narrow down the issue. I went in and started messing with aspect ratio stuff, and when I set the aspect ration to 1:1, the stuttering is gone. So its seems like it has something to do with how its blowing up things to the normal 4:3 size maybe? If anyone else can try this and see if it gets rid of the stutter for them, just so I know its not just my machine....
About that problem (vertical "tearing" on the left side of the screen).
I've tried to adjust "Frame delay" in the settings. Increasing the value from 0 to 3 seems to fix most of the issue for me. You should try it.

You should try the save/load configuration files function.

It's in-game, in the unibios so it has nothing to do with the conf files :(

but you could make a save state and load it lol

How does the neogeo run now on o3DS ?

I'm checking later, excited as fuck for Baseball Stars 2 XD

Edit: Actually here's a question for those that have probably asked themselves...

Have the devs said anything about netplay or if it's even possible?
Seems like it can't be possible, but I'll ask anyway if it's on the cards.

Please help with my post (the last and this). As far as I test PS1 emulator on N3DS XL at best give around 20+ fps. Anyone know which games are good at this kind of speed?

which GBA core is the best/has best compatibility: mGBA or Gpsp? 9.0 N3ds with cakes
Gpsp as cia, for most games, mgba for some......but GBA Rom injection runs NATIVELY (read 1:1, perfect), you should try that. (link at the bottom of the 1st post if you need pointers :) )

Actually reading my previous answer to you would help lol
(from the speed you're experiencing you're using .3dsx builds (as I said and was is stated in this thread's first post, you need to use cia builds and custom fw on 9.2< for this.)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
