Looking to optomize my SNES emulator.

Mine is by Chilly Willy So I don't know if that is the original or not, cause heard there are several ME versions....

EDIT: It does say that speed hacks are found with the proper one.

Legend Of Zelda Parallel Worlds

Brutal Mario

Super Demo World the Legend continues

The Second Reality Project 2- Zyclooboo's challenge

Super Mario World the Second Reality Project

Super Mario World Master Quest 5

Final Fantasy 6, 4, and easytype version of 4 (The Japanese versions of the games)

and ROM hacking .net have the IPS patches. Of course I could just PM them to you if you like. How exactly do speedhacks work? My ROMs for the Final Fantasy games are all just the titles, with no special other parts of the names so don't worry about that. Any other things you need from me just PM me.

Speedhacks are simple in theory. The SNES runs at a fixed 60 fps. In a game, when all the work is done in a frame, the game enters an idle loop until it's time for the next frame to come along. If we can find the instruction that tells it to enter the loop and replace it with an instruction to skip the loop, we can increase speed by a good amount. I basically run through a frame or two instruction by instruction to find when it enters that loop and replace it with the correct instruction to skip it. I then move to a different portion of the game and repeat the process to see if that section uses a different loop. More info can be found in the speedhacking tutorial at snesadvance.org if you're interested.

I'll look at those games sometime, but I won't have any more time this weekend, just a forewarning. If the games run in my normal debugging tools (SNES Advance debugger and Snezziboy debugger), I'll be able to test the hacks myself. If they don't run, I'll have to use the SNES9X debugger and you'll have to test the hacks for me to make sure they work.

I may need the CRC32 of some games, or the title after being run through the GoodSNES renamer, but if I do I'll PM you.

Dan, I don't know if this would mean anything to you, but I think it's the backgrounds that are causing the slowdown. I fought another bunch of bosses that didn't use the type of background like Ludwig's, or roy's (the type where the walls slam down and he climbs up them and attempts to drop on you from the ceiling) and they didn't lag like bosses that used the black background did. I'm pretty sure that it is the background. Same thing for the lamp. As soon as I turn it on, major lag. Also, I've never actually tested something for someone before so this is kind of exciting. If you need me to test other speed hacks or anything else, let me know!
