TESTING - Trusty 1.4Ghz | 128 RAM

[PhilExile]

Little update:

 

Sengeki Striker runs fairly well, usually averaging at 38 FPS, but sometimes as high as 60 FPS or as low as 20 FPS when the action really kicks up.

 

All Midway games work full speed and with sound, including NBA Jam, Rampage World Tour, Narc, etc

[PhilExile]

Got Virtua Fighter to work with the following settings

 

threshold: 32, commit: 256, distribute: 65535

 

Runs mostly 56-60 FPS

 

Unfortunately, you get to the fight and it announces: fight 1, then DRAW, fight 2, then DRAW, game over.

Daraku Tenshi runs great, full 60 FPS and no weird screen glitches! I tried this in FBL and plays really bad for whatever reason. (Maybe its not optimized for Xbox systems that have been upgraded?) The MAME core plays this great on the Trusty XBOX though.

 

RevolutionX also runs full 53 FPS. The controls haven't been setup though.

Ray Storm works great, between 57-60 FPS, 49 megs of RAM free

Street Fighter The Movie loads without any issues, full framerate.

Hi All i have good news for all trusty xbox owners after many long nights of testing and tweaking with psx emulator i have found a universal settings for all the games that been reported that the cdda is corrupted and keep on echoing.

 

first of all forget bin and cue you should rip your cds with clone cd cause sub img ccd is moore stable

 

2 and this is the most importing that been ignored by many users cause it did not work on retail xbox it was too slow to handle

 

u should always turn on the cpu interpreter in the cpu option

 

3 in the sound option turn on wait for cpu action and change the sound method to normal in the last line and that's it u now can play psx games perfect emulatin i tested so far some of my favors games that i could not play before.

Hi Carlo,

 

Sounds like you're getting great results. I had pretty much given up on PSX on XBOX, but this renewed my interest. Could you try out Tony Hawk if you can get a hold of it?

 

Best Regards

[carlo3do]

hi PhilExile i will try tony hawks for you and also 2 more games has been fixed WARGODS AND ROBOTRON X Use the same settings as above and in the

 

cpu option turn parasite eve fix only for those two games and the speed issue is fixed

[PhilExile]

What frame rate are you getting for these games? You can turn on 'show frames per second' in general configuration.

[carlo3do]

hi tony hawks is tested the sound an music r perfect but the gfx in game r messed up

[PhilExile]

Hi Carlo,

 

Could you please check what the FPS are in these games your testing? It should usually be a steady 60 FPS. This FPS counter can be displayed by activating it the general configuration menu.

 

Thanks

[carlo3do]

hi on pal games getting 50 to 47 fps on ntsc 60 to 55 and 58 but i wont trust that cause i did not patch my emu with the 1400patch all i care that iam playing my games very smooth with hard filter and soft filter hq2 on 720p lcd what More do you want

 

new game tested :Dragonheart Fire and Steel (perfect emulation)

 

and all army men games (perfect)

Hi Carlo,

 

I had a chance to play with the PSX emulator last night using some of your settings and I had promising results as well. I only had BIN/CUE games on hand, so I had to use those. I will try to create a few CloneCD images sometime this weekend to try a comparison. It will be interesting to see if there is an improvement.

 

One game that I tested that I had difficulty with initially was Castlevania Chronicles. With the default settings, the game played at 60 FPS, but the music was pretty slow and off tempo. I tried your settings, but when I turned the CPU interpreter - ON - it actually slowed the framerate to 35-40 FPS. This is an issue for this game because when your character is hit sometimes he disappears instead of 'blinking' because the framerate is unstable. However, with your sound settings, the music was perfect. I decided to switch off the CPU interpreter and found that this allowed the game to run at 60 FPS, while having great music because of the proper sound settings!

 

I also tried Tony Hawk. You should use core 1.4 for proper textures. Here, when I had the CPU interpreter - ON - it slowed the framerate to 15 FPS and when it was off, it was mostly steady at 31 FPS. However, when you go through an 'effect' such as the puddle on level 1, it dropped to 24 FPS. This said, the music remained steady, which didn't happen before when I was testing this game. At first I though this was pretty crappy, since it wasn't 60 FPS, but then I found this:

 

http://www.gametour.com/site/review.php/title/274

 

It states, for the DC mind you: "Naturally, the game looks fantastic on the Dreamcast. The game runs at acceptably fluid 30 frames per second, the character models have been nicely fleshed out...."

 

That said, I guess this is the proper framerate.

 

All in all, a great first run. Thank you for pointing this out Carlo. Also, you should run the 1.4 ghz patch on all your emulators. I've found that the emulators sometime run at unstable speeds, definitely not better, without it. This is most obvious in CoinOps, probably because of all the different MAME drivers involved.

 

Lastly, do you know if there is online documentation on what the various settings in the PSX emulator do specifically?

 

Best Regards

Another CoinOps Update

 

Star Blade, a 3-D game from Namco circa 1991 loads with sound and averages 45-60 FPS. Sound echos a bit, but its very playable amazingly. I was genuinely shocked to find this working due to the complexity of the game and hardware. For whatever reason, other Namco21 games do not fare as well.
