I have to say this release is definatly faster than r9 by about 2 to 6 frames per second - it is a great improvement - mario 64 run pretty good not quite full speed but very close - text is still messed up in places, but very much playable - i also tried banjo kazooie and actually made it into the first level and got almost all jiggies then it crashed on me - that ran 15- 22 fps in some areas no frameskip and w/ audio turned on ... sometimes during crazy distance shots it would lag quite a bit but still playable - sound doesn't seem to effect fps too much whether it's on or off it stays pretty much the same fps. Thanks very much stormin' norman for your hard efforts - It was/is as always, worth the wait. I hope my input helps your developement. Great Job :thumbup:
