Is there any way to limit the fps?

I'm running Zelda, but it's going at about twice the speed it should be running. I'm happy that it runs well, but is there any way to somehow limit the speed of the game? Thanks!

You can try setting Unlimited MHz Disaster 50% or 100%

I tried Unlimited MHz Disaster, but no setting did anything more than just make the audio much worse. And I have no idea what the other suggested things even are...can someone please explain?

myZoom, Nds2xgl, and NOZ are frontend/add-on to the no$gba. They provide zooming, rotating, as well as other features.

Unfortunately, none of those are helping either

The game just runs insanely fast, no matter what I make the refresh rate or FPS limit (it doesn't stop the game itself from running too fast, just how much I see of it).

Does anyone have any more suggestions? People have played Zelda on this emu at normal speed, right? Can someone tell me their settings and maybe try to help me? Thanks!

Forgot to mention, did you try changing the 3D renderer? If that doesn't work, then you should try CPUburn, CPUkiller or any other similar software.

Well, i don't know if it will work but you could try using 0.5 speed or running realtime (unless thats what youre using now).

Ugh...nothing so far is working :P

The CPUburn and the other program give me a lower frame rate, but the actual emulation speed remains the same. Weird...This Zelda game is really frustrating me...

Have you tried a combination of the above suggestions? Another suggestion that you can try is to set the priority to low in the Task Manager.

Are you sure the game is running to fast....? Link is SUPPOSED to scurry around the screen very fast.

No, it's definitely going too fast...if you look at this video: YouTube - no$gba 2.5b Legend of Zelda

you can see that it's definitely going faster than it should be, which is this video: YouTube - Zelda: Phantom Hour Glass Walkthrough 3

Also, note that in the emu video, the person playing was able to get it down to a near-normal speed...that method works occasionally, but rarely. Usually, the game still goes way too fast. A video of what the emulation looks like normally is here: YouTube - Phantom Hourglass on No$GBA 2.5b

If you want 2 slowed down the game,u can change the options (the Ultimate Disaster 50 or 100%) or run many or a heavy programs (full system scan etc.) to full-up ur RAM.I think both has been mention. Huhh,really frustrating.
If the problem still there,then just played it on ur DS or just exchange ur PC with mine

It looks like your only options are in front of you, but in one of the videos you posted, the creator clearly states that the game runs full speed. Maybe it's not going to fast? If it were, it would be noticeable on more than just Link. The intro runs at normal speed, dude.
