WOW PocketSNES on WM2003 A05 IS Fast

wmerritt · 08-04-03, 09:05 PM

I can;t believe it, after updating to WM2003 what a difference> I got Full speed emulation with sound diabled and Really good speed with it enabled, at medium sound sampling. Has wm2003 finally been optimized for the Xscale processor?

I would say the OS has been optimized. I get very playable speeds without sound, but with sound most games are just barely playable for my tastes, big improvement indeed. What games have you run, and also, do you find any button lag sometimes, at times I get massive button lag, especially with sound on, just wondering if I'm the only one.

Would you mind sharing your exact settings to get sound to work?

*edit* NM, I did some experimenting and got it to work.

Also pocket snes hasnt been optimised for xscale yet, hopefully we will get even better speed then.

The games that I have tried so Far are

Super Mario World
Chrono Trigger
Gundam
Street Fighter 2
CastleVania 3
Oger Battle
Final Fantasy 3

And after installing XcpuScalar, I now have full speed with sound on most of these games with transparency enabled. This is great.

The latest Morphgear runs faster on my Ax than PocketSNES BE. The only downside is that Morphgear isn't the most up-to-date port of SNES9x so it's compatibilty is lower for now.

If u are using the axim advanced with wm2003, set it to max performance, u should get 200mhz system bus the speed should be faster.

I'm mostly been trying action games like, mario, contra, metroid, mario kart, and super punch out. So I take it no one else is getting occasional button lag, like hit the jump button, and half a second later he jumps?

The people that are getting full speed SNES: Do you have the 255, or the 250? I have the 250

but I am hoping WM2003 will still help since it is optimised for Xscale. what do you think?

Rhuarc, I have the 250, and I find that games like Final Fantasy 3 are now more than playable on my device without sound. I'm getting about 30fps in that game. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise - WM2003 gives huge performance boosts on the 250.

wmerritt · 08-06-03, 08:22 AM

I have a PXA255, that is probably where most of the extra speed is coming from. I don't know what kind of performance boost the PXA250 whould get.

Where did you get you SNES emulator from? I have tried a few that did not install properly and am currently using NES emulator (Old Skool but Awsome Flashbacks of my gaming youth)

Goto pocketgamer.org and under games and go to the emulators section. get Pocketsnes

Raptor_dss · 08-06-03, 03:18 PM

has anyone tried this with morphgear? though pocket snes is free i assume, ive already paid for several morph gear emulators and i like it all being in one package.

though i still havn't even ordered my upgrade.
