NJ release new source- Cps1, Cps2, and MVS- 1.63 (updates again to 1.63.1)

Here is NJ's latest source compiled njemu_source_20061218.zip


As far as I can tell he did fix a video related bug. As yesturday I was messing around with his last source 20061217 and found if we set the Optimization to -O2 there would be some video tearing happening. Well what ever he did I tried it again on his latest and he fixed the issue. Though he didn't change his makefile (His still had -O3 set for CFLAGS) I compiled it for -O2 and these were my following findings....


CPS1 Settings and we can achieve 60 fps.
ROM: Cadilacs and Dinosaurs
Raster Effects: ON
Video Sync: ON
Frameskip: Disabled
60fps limit: OFF - Don't need this to be on if Video Sync is ON.
Sample Rate: 44100Hz
CPU: 266 MHz

CPS2 Settings and we can achieve 55~60 fps.
ROM: Street Fighter 3 Alpha
Raster Effects: ON
Video Sync: ON
Frameskip: Disabled
60fps limit: OFF - Don't need this to be on if Video Sync is ON.
Sample Rate: 44100Hz
CPU: 333 MHz

MVS Settings and we can achieve 50~60 fps.
ROM: SNK Vs Capcom: Chaos
Raster Effects: OFF
Video Sync: ON
Frameskip: Disabled
60fps limit: OFF - Don't need this to be on if Video Sync is ON.
Sample Rate: 44100Hz
CPU: 333 MHz



So just to repeat myself because its fun...... the moral of the story is he fixed a video related bug which in turn allowed his source to compile at -O2 instead of -O3 for Optimizations which in turn gives us a nice little speed boost!

All Versions included. Which means KERNEL/Normal Compilations.

Just so people know I normally don't like to compile others people code and release it. But I am a big fan of his work!!! So enjoy his latest update as you might think it was nothing significant but it was....

And lastly... if you running 1.5 firmware then kxploit it with PSPBrew.

1st up Samurai, thanks I've been waiting for this -

2nd up NJ - Only tested Cps2 so far but had to post - I thought it was perfect - I was wrong - it was Lampards goal tonight at 1.50, it was Drogbas at 1.60 - but this one is West Ham beating Man U in the same weekend!

gonna test MVS and Cps1 now, expecting a lot!

EDIT: 2.71 sec kernal btw - just a quick note - I want to keep playing - the pitch has gone in supersidekicks 3 again - not that I understand that ball thingy game

Thanks SamuraiX For the compile.I love NJ's Work it rocks.

Thank you SamuraiX!!

can someone please make a 1.50 compatabul so 1.50 gamers dont have to use pspbrew i would be very thankful

SamuraiX,

I'm excited to see how comfortable you are tinkering with Nj's source. I sent you a PM about possibly adding support for other arcade machines that also use A6800 and Z80.

Perhaps you might be able to make a CavePSP for starters.

what makes these versions better than the already 60fps 1.51version?

Metal Slug 4 keeps crashing halfway through the motorbike bit. I've tried a few different bios' but still the same. Which one do others recommend?

I'm struggling against that problem for days now.. :(
Tried every bios, every config possible, with no luck...


EDIT: What makes me mad is that sometimes (5%) it actually don't crash at the bike part.
Then why does it crash the other 95% of the times?

Of course you can avoid the crash by going underground instead of the going to the bike part. But is just that I'm so *anal* when it comes to MetalSlug that I would love to see it perfect!!

Thanks for the compile SamuraiX. Nj really knows how to make these holiday seasons worthwhile :)
