Star Fox

Star Fox runs incredibly slow, at about 06fps. Its amazing because it is a relatively small game. I have tweaked it extensively. Anybody else have the same issues.

The original cart has a chip w/ custom hardware to run the game, you are lucky that it runs at all. I'm actually shocked it runs at all.

What he said... I can't remember right now what the damn hardware was called, but it was very much hyped. Anyways, it worked liked a very primitive 3d renderer, but the problem is that aside from a proof-of-concept program I saw posted the other day, no homebrewer has really harnessed the 3d accel in the PSP. That's why you can't get it to run properly.

It was calledd the Super FX chip. Other chips in carts include the DSP chip (used in Mario Kart aswell as others) and the Super FX 2 chip an improved version of the Super FX.

Yeah, i belive Mario RPG also used the SFX2 chip, fun part is ... it took a very long time for any emu to run it (until 98-99).

BUT, why are you guys sooo surprised it runs? This is a port of Snes9x ... which supports it... it's already in the code. It's just time for optimization.
