PSPVBA (v1.0.5): Rom Configuration Thread

[manias]

turbo mode makes alot of visual distortion, whys that?

well i think it's a sort of robust frameskip, skipping chunks of emulation.. could b wrong ;)

[delta191]

sorry, but I stand by my original view, it's a free world afterall!

the emulator is still naff at stage 1.05, I didn't say I was ungrateful to ZX81 for his hard work, I know the GBA is a swine to run at speed, ZX81 deserves credit, I'd agree and take my hat off to him for his striving ambitions to get it running well.

that said, if games are unplayably ugly and take all the space up on your memory card, whats the point? their are better uses for your memory card until it works much faster with better sound and less graphical breakup.

I more than anybody hopes ZX81 cracks this one! it's a bugger! I'll keep trying his new versions to see if it runs defender at reasonable levels with good sound, until that runs well, I'll give it a wide birth.
Defender isn't an hungry game, the Mame version is 16k in size afterall!

[mofo09]

i find that once i go higher than 5 on the arm tick advantage pokemon gets slower, so here is my stats for it

pokemon ruby

Sound enable - (doesnt seem to matter)
Skip frame - 3/4
Turbo Mode - 1 or 2 if the graphic thing doesnt bother you
clock frequency - 333
arm tick advantage - 5

i wish someone could get it full speed though, that would be awsome

scroll up and see my pokemon ruby settings, theyre the same as emerald

[manias]

does it matter btw if you have sound off what you put ARM tick average to? i thought that had to do with sound?

[s075933]

[pspfan]

Read the thread...it was answered for you two posts before your post.

[s075933]

[Nutterbutter]

i find that once i go higher than 5 on the arm tick advantage pokemon gets slower, so here is my stats for it

pokemon ruby

Sound enable - (doesnt seem to matter)
Skip frame - 3/4

clock frequency - 333
arm tick advantage - 5

Huh? , what psp version are you running?

I found that the more i increased the tick rate the slower but smoother it got, so i compensated by increasing the skip frame and it runs like a charm.

[Nutterbutter]

Pokemon Ruby:

Sound Enable : Yes
Skip Frame : 3
Turbo Mode : 0
Clock Frequency : 333
ARM tick avarage : 20

[delta191]

just incase you didn't know ZX81 has released a new version 1.06 pspvba

try it if you find versions 1.05 way to slow!

It's not perfect by any means - but the GBA is a pig to emulate on a psp!

ZX81's version 1.06 is starting to get their, he seems hell bent on his quest to get this one upto scratch, he deserves thanx for his hard work lads!


download his new version here: http://psp-homebrew.eu/listall.php?filter=new
ZX81 we salute you!
:Jump:

[Nutterbutter]

No speed increases at all, only the option to change screen size.

[mofo09]

Huh? , what psp version are you running?

I found that the more i increased the tick rate the slower but smoother it got, so i compensated by increasing the skip frame and it runs like a charm.

would it make a difference if im running on firmware 2.6?

[Nutterbutter]

Yea that could easily make a difference.

Mine runs almost playable.

Psypher could you note in the list that the second Pokemon option is better for 2.xx firmwares.

[s075933]

Huh? , what psp version are you running?

I found that the more i increased the tick rate the slower but smoother it got, so i compensated by increasing the skip frame and it runs like a charm.

I am running version 1.5 au psp.

[s075933]

What does the arm tick advantage help with?

[s075933]

I found that the more i increased the tick rate the slower but smoother it got, so i compensated by increasing the skip frame and it runs like a charm.

I think either you have a REALLY bad rom site or you are using an outdated version of PSPVBA! Golden Sun, Mario Kart Super Circuit, Pokemon Fire Red, Sonic Advance all work. Also, you didn't list a setting for SFX enable, which was introduced in 1.0.5, which could mean you have an old version (or you just forgot it). Also, I'm pretty sure a lot of the other games that you put "DOES NOT WORK" for actually do work. So, I'm saying update your version to 1.0.5 if it's not there already. If it is, get better roms.
