Is there a snes emulator, that can run Chrono Trigger Smooth?!?

**lordKillaCam** · January 17th, 2007, 01:02

I have been searching the net for months and I can't find a fast enough emulator for my psp. Right now I use snes9xTYL as I find it to be the fastest. However, Chrono Trigger (one of the best games of all time) work, there is too much lag and if I put and type of frame skip it gets to choppy. So aoverall is there a faster emulator. Please for the love of god, ice-cream and all that good stuff, please say there is!:thumbup:

EDIT: Holy moley! I have been away from the hacking scene for a few weeks and now I hear there is a ps1 full speed emulator? Can someone point me to the direction of that as well. (A topic on it will do)

If you want the ps1 emulator then you need 3.03 oe-b firmware.
any way if you want the snes emulator this is the most current one. you may need to tweak with the frames per seconds and stuff like that to make it run for your standards.

and for that ps1 emulator you were talking about here is a link for 3.03 oe-a just upgrade from the second link after that to get to 3.03 oe-b.

I tried changing, the frameskip and stuff but it is too choppy is there no solution? A

PS1 related: If I upgrade will I still be able to play my SNES games on my PSP? Also where do I download the ps1 games? Also can someone guide me through what I need to do, step by step, I don't want to ruin my PSP. Also I have 1.5 firmware right now.

psst... downloading them is not allowed spoken about on these forms just to let you know. in order to get them you have to rip them from your OWN ps1 cd's.
once you have the cd's image (Iso,bin, or img) then get a program called popstation and convert it it should come as 2 files and eboot and a keys.bin just copy these into a folder in the "GAME" folder under the "PSP" folder.

and no you will not lose any of the capablities of 1.5 like homebrew.

did you try moving the cpu speed higher in the snes emulator that really helps but it uses more power.

here is a guide this should walk you through it pretty safe to install as long as you have 75% or more battery.

SOrry I didn't know it was bad to talk about downloading, anyway do i need additional gear to take the games off my ps1 games? Also I did increase the CPU speed with no luck.

Where did you notice the slowdown?I just ran the game and although I didn't notice any graphical slowdown, the music was lagging pretty badly.I set my frameskip to 1 rather than 0 and that seems to have fixed the problem.Keep in mind that this is a brand new file, and I've no intention of playing through CT at the moment, so.. XD

BTW, I'm running Snes 9x Tyl 0.4.2 non-ME version on a 3.03 OE-B PSP at 333 mhz clockspeed..gonna try the ME version soon, as I hear it can be faster on some things.

Finally, when you loaded the rom, did it say in the beginning 'Applying speedhacks'? It did for me, so..

ME is the release that fixed those games i believe, plus it has kernal access so i think i makes it run smoother

Strange. CT runs pretty well for me. As sir Pibster suggested, perhaps you need the latest TYL ME release.

Believe it or not, the sound portion of the emulator takes up a noticeable bit of resources. In the ME edition of the TYL release, it takes some of the load off of the main CPU by handling the sound elsewhere , thus giving you a noticeable boost. Even when the tunes are going at higher quality. As Chrono Trigger has some of the best music found on any game in the SNES library you certainly will want to hear it at its best

Yea, I just ran ME as opposed to normal, and my performance went from 50 FPS max to 52-60 FPS, mostly ranging in the higher 50s. The music also sounded more on-par to the original/PC emulated versions...Get ME when you can ^^
