SSF V0.07 beta

[snips777]

Hi,

I have tried Virtua Fighter 2,Fighting Vipers, Virtua Fighter Kids and Nights into Dreams.

With the first three i get a blured effect when i am in the game itself. The menu and everything is perfect, only in game.

With nights into dreams everything is fine, although a little slow.

Does the blured thing happen for everyone or just me with the first three games?
Snapshots are here to show you what i mean.

It is a normal problem, wait for next vesions..

I just checked VF2 out. Try this:

Go to Options and uncheck Auto Field Skip.

Once a match starts, Pause game and go into Hardware Menu and uncheck NBG0(0) and NBG1(1).

You will lose the backgrounds and disabling those hardware options may screw up other menus but at least a match is playable

It's not a problem, it's interlaced drawing. You need a faster CPU to play those games at good speeds. The afterimages are there because too many frames are skipped, and sometimes only the even or only the odd lines are updated for a while, leaving the other bunch of lines unupdated, creating a bad looking blur effect. Disabling Auto Field Skip (frameskip) will force every frame to be drawn so you wont get that, but of course the game will also play at a slower fps.

disabling the backgrounds causes speedup because the emulator has to render less graphics. you can also remove/readd backgrounds with the buttons 1-2-3-4-5-6 on the numeric keyboard.

Ooh VF Kids now I'd love to play that :) As for VF2 I get my fix from the (imperfect) PS2 Sega Ages release, same goes with Panzer Dragoon.

Thanks

i removed auto field skip and that did the job.

I have a pentium 4 2.4

but i am going to try it on another machine with penitium d 3.0ghz

A 2.4ghz p4 is way too slow for ssf, and a 3ghz is not much better either.

[snipered]

Yep, i've tried it on both cpu's and i get the same effect.

Its much better than before, but it still lags.

I thought a dual core 3ghz might be better but nope.

What do you use to get it to run near perfect?

[Borisz]

I turn off autoframeskip. 40-50 fps on my athlon x2 3800 that way.

The author on the ssf bbs said that the intel core 2 duo e6600 should run the most cpu intensive games fine. Which sounds about right to me. Unless future versions will take better usage of dual core cpus, in which case even my athlon x2 3800 could run it fine once (I get on average 60% cpu load with SSF, so theres plenty of unused power to tap).
