I understand that this is a pretty common problem, but I am currently running at 0 FPS and my error console states that I am receiving 95 errors per second. The only way that I can refresh the screen is by clicking an option on the menu bar. I appreciate the help so far, folks.

no$gba has an error console?

Utility > Errors. Okay, maybe not an error console. But surely you catch my drift. Still not working properly, and as I've previously stated I have a very capable machine.

EDIT: Oh, look. Apparently emulating 12 Gameboys brought my FPS up to 3! Woo!

ah yeah, that.

um... im not actually sure why you're getting these problems, i've tested it on Windows 7 x64 before with no problems.

disable any patches if enabled, set update interval to 60fps and disable automatic skipping.

Huh... minimizing to the smallest possible window greatly improved the FPS. From 0 to... 547. But that would defeat the purpose of NO$Zoomer, wouldn't it? And gosh, I don't know if I have any patches or not. I don't remember installing anything other than the bear minimum.

EDIT: It levels off at 80ish FPS, though.

EDIT2: I still need help, though. I wish to play this game full screen.

NVIDIA.

EDIT: Well it's past 5 AM over here. I should be getting some rest. If anyone knows anything about my problem a solution would be nice.

if you've ever adjusted any settings in the nvidia control panel, such as AA, it might cause issues for emulators.

Oh, look. I'm still awake. Sorry mate, I haven't touched a thing since I installed Win 7.

Additionally, did you know that NO$GBA is compatible with Wine? I just ran it on my Linux machine. Runs flawlessly.

Squall-Leonhart · May 16th, 2009

Good morning.

EDIT: Just so you know, VisualBoyAdvance runs flawlessly at full screen while playing Pokémon Silver. I doubt it's a problem with my graphics.

EDIT2: Also if it helps, the bottom screen runs just fine, full screen or not.

GBA Emulation and DS emulation although they may look similar don't even slightly compare. DS emulation requires at least 4 times the power GBA emulation requires.

As for the Quadro..that's a workstation GPU...now no$gba does not exactly require much power as far as the graphics card goes (it relies far more heavily on the processor) but it may be that Quadro's work a little differently to what the gaming cards work like and remember you are using a Beta OS so it could simply be some sort instability between Win7 and the Quadro drivers at this stage.
Also if you have not updated the drivers since you installed Win7 it could be that you are still using the earliest crappy Beta Drivers which could be causing instability so I would go to the Nvidia website and update those ASAP.

Also you said Win7...but never which version...remember it's a Beta OS and thus it can change quite vastly from version to version and older version may still have verious instabilites with various programs and hardware.

No sir, it didn't. But do not fear, for Speels ran 'Windows Update' and saw NVIDIA drivers listed! I installed them and it's running very smooth.

Hey- is there any way to stretch to fit screen? I liked that feature in VisualBoyAdvance.
