[Release] Snes9X Euphoria R1 - Speed!

Via : RetroEmu

So I have been working on this for a bit tonight (I am really sick atm :()

However I did feel well enough to at least get out of bed for a few hours and wrap up Snes9X Euphoria for a release.
It is based off the last version of Snes9xTyl by rukka.

My main objective for this version was speed. A lot more can still be done to optimize the emulator and get more speed, but for now (given my health) this will have to do :)

The only game I have tested with my version is Kirby Super Star, which I know had terrible FPS with other Snes9X releases (usually < 30Fps)

With my build, using the following settings, Kirby Super Star runs @ a minimum of 44Fps and a max of 60fps with the usual fps being 50fps.

Settings :

Renderer : PSP Accelerated
FrameSkip : 3

This does not generate a jerky experience, it finally feels playable :)

Other testing :

Donkey Kong Country : Same settings as above :
Min FPS : 58
Max FPS : 60

The speedups should be global, every game should be a lot faster now

Future :

I plan on improving speed more, improving stability and applying the changes from Snes9X1.51 to Snes9X euphoria also (which is running off the 1.42 code base)

I hope you enjoy this release and if you have any bugs please post them in the : Snes9X Euphoria - Official Forum

There seems to be some graphical bugs in the menus in Kirby Super Star (and maybe other games), these will be fixed in later revisions.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy the release :)

Thanks :)

I have only scratched the surface, there is a hell of a lot more that can and will be done to speed up this emulator and make it more stable.

Just give me time ;)

hey i will start testing games and post results hope i can help i have full rom set for snes anybody want me to test a rom just ask

star fox starts up plays with only pink screen at 49 fps
with mario kart set at psp accel + approx, soft. runs good bounces from 45 to 60 fps
killer instinct now runs full 60 fps
super mario world 2 is almost full speed now 45-55 fps
mortal kombat 3 runs at a full 60fps
mortal kombat 2 when picking fighter screen goes black but when fighting full 60 fps
primal rage runs full 60 fps

This is great news and what I've tested looks great - but one thing - Super Mario Kart is slow on everything except PSP accelerated, but that turns half the screen black - it's a real tease because the speed looks amazing - can't wait for future releases - great work!

EDIT: I have to hard reset my PSP after playing a few different games - it doesn't crash, it just wont let me exit the last game without a hard reset

Try :

psp accel + approx, soft.
Frameskip : 3.

I got a constant 60fps on the first track with those settings.

Thanks for the tip - I found fs 3 a bit choppy - so went down to 1 and it plays really nicely - about 57 fps in the GP with other drivers, and 60-61 constant on time trial alone.

It's still buggy, but this is looking to be the best snes emu on the psp by far - nice1!

How did I not see this thread? :eek:

I've been waiting for the PSP to emulate Kirby Superstar at a playable speed. I'm definitely trying this out!

Keep up the good work, Zack. :)
