Feature Fast Forward

[Augusto]

Hello.

Fast Forward is an good feature used in others emulators.

That feature is good in games having long time load screens.

Hey Tux you has interest in implement it in your Raine ?

Have an nice next week.

del key by default ! (but it's quite raw, and depending on your configuration it can be extremely fast sometimes !).

while the key is down, turbo is active, it's more a turbo than a fast forward, it just removes all speed limits while the key is pressed.

Hello Tux. Thanks for your reply.
Here is Linux Ubuntu 24.04 using Nvidia GT 640 driver 470 and your amazing RAINE latest version.
Holding DEL not does any turbo or fast forward.
HTOP task manager show the cpu cores usage is low and in nvidia x11 control panel opengl vsync is disabled.
I have tested with disabling and enabling options in video settings and even changing opengl to SLD and does the same effect.
In RAINE pressing or holding DEL show message in bottom line as if the speed is above 70 FPS, but in reality the gameplay speed continue being 100 % speed 60 FPS.
Perhaps that feature pressing DEL only work in windows ?
Have an nice week.

Nope, I do it regularly in linux. Well sorry, it means something in your config breaks it, I can't guess what it is.

After looking a little at the code for memory, this key has a very simple function : it just disables the opengl double buffer so that the game doesn't wait anymore on vsync. If you are using the sdl driver instead of opengl, it does the equivalent by calling the corresponding function.

Anyway I know you can force these vsync setting if messing with the nvidia control panel settings. If you did that or something equivalent, I can't do anything for you. But anyway it just means something on your system prevents the double buffer from being disabled, I can't guess what !
