Why aren't you overclocking? That's why you're having problems.

I’m afraid it could damage my system

It doesn't. m4xw already stated he wouldn't have made it possible if it did. You have two choices 1 is overclock and get good N64 speed or don't and don't get full speed. There's no third option.

lower resolution, dock it, or OC to 460MHz GPU (same clock BotW uses)

@m4xw:

Tested the ppsspp beta build (Patreon Backers) - the slowdowns in videosequences, are something we experienced in non optimized builds on the ps classic as well - until people came around to fixing it - this might not be performance related as far as overall performance is concerned, but rather some codec mishap.

Right now changing Jit to something else, or changing the output resolution chrashes the core (as indicated in the pre release post).

Games like FF7 Crisis core and Persona 3 play without any real hitches or lag at the default (stock) clock speed, or minimal OC.

Games like Vice City Stories are still unplayable (severe stutter).

Uploaded a short impression video compilation (no audio - since I used the switches internal capturing). All snippets are with stock clock speed apart from the last two gta clips, that were made at max overclock - game is still not playable in this state _currently_.



Also, I used pbp files for all three games (compression) worked fine as well.

Cant fix that until theres NVDEC

Jit has some issues, refer to the patron channel for solutions.
When changing settings, you need to directly close content, dont return to the game and it will work (when loading savestates, instantly open the RA menu, wait for it to load, its a old bug in the libretro port, not a switch specific issue)
JIT has limited compatibility right now.

Runs perfect with JIT at fullspeed
You need to use the pinned build in the channel

OC'ing is NOT going to damage your system. The only negative effects you will get from OC'ing is less battery life, that's it.

I've read that and was unsure how to go about it. Thank you.

As well as for the other responses.

Just ask in the patron channel, people there are very helpful and have more patience than I do

What comment do u have on the drama on reddit?

Sucks for the people that support me.

 

[cucholix]

wow kinda off topic but I’m using OC in Warframe and there’s a noticeable performance bump, for instances there is not down-res in open areas :o

Only moved clock on both CPU/GPU one step above the official clocks

 

[ploggy]

@m4xw Hmmm, rather than doing the patreon thing can I just paypal you some cash and get access to your early builds

How about I will just give it to you :smug

 

[ploggy]

How about I will just give it to you :smug

That works too

But, ya know.. for future reference what is your paypal?

 

[m4xw]

That works too

check libretro discord

Thank you kind sir

Just a quick note that cd audio does work in the dosbox dynarec (m4xw) core after all.

It just has to be a .bin/.cue file with a single .bin file that contains all the audio. It doesn’t work with separate audio files like .ogg or .mp3. It has to be a single .bin file and a single .cue file. Then just mount the .cue file with imgmount and cd audio will work.

I got Pro Pinball Timeshock running music this way. What a cool game. And the cd audio in Alone in The Dark also works.

I'm trying to play Donkey Kong on mame-2003 and the sound is low and has alot of static. Does anyone know how to fix this? Also, what directory are you supposed to put the audio files in?

EDIT: This seems to be effecting all games. I tried a SNES game and the sound is the same.

Just a quick heads up for people reading along, there is a PPSSPP test build _pinned_ in the patreon ( https://www.patreon.com/m4xwdev/ ) only discord (thats more recent than other builds) that has JIT (not only IR-Jit, but Jit proper) mostly fixed, which is fastest.

Vice City story is borderline playable at 2x resolution on stock speeds, and from what I hear playable at 3x+ resolution on 460Mhz GPU OC.

Less demanding Games like FF7 Crisis Core, or all the Personas, work on stock speeds with 3x+ resolution - like a charm - and look great.

Overall PSP compatibility of PPSSPP seems to be mixed, so it depends on the game, if it runs very well - or not at all.

I'll do a proper video (with sound.. ) on a few working games tomorrow.

First time ever playing PPSSPP at 3x+ resolution, and it looks really good.

The build in itself still has its quirks (like the work around for it to not crash when changing settings) and repeat loads of games, without exiting RA fully in between eventually also lead to hard crashes. So this is not general purpose yet (I sense some people getting sweaty.. ), but it is IMMENSELY promising - like "never thought we'd reach that level of emulation fidelity on the Switch" promising.

Reicast, after this, I'm sure...
