Actually, if you read the other posts here, the ONLY important one is forcing the emulator to run in 256-Colors.

TeeHee .. I don't -really- need it atm (lucky me, and good good emu ^.^) ... but I'm gonna give it a try.
I mean, I don't see a big diff in the screenies .. if it doesn't impact the quality a lot, this might be a very nice trick indeed.

I'm in love with the quality atm, don't blame me v

Wortany · March 6th, 2007

I haven't really found another game except for Grandia 3 where on some places there is a significant speed boost.

First pic: normal
Second pic: with 256 colors on

I won't post screens with AA on, cause my GFX is to weak for it, it shows a little improvement in fps but it's not noticeable with my GFX.

Thanx for telling us this.

you need to check 256 colors only, nothing more.

Hmm... was glad to read that, I got an Athlon 64 3500+ and im getting that same graphs card. great to hear it boosts the FPS quite much even w/o dual core.

Although it seems to work for some people, others seem to be having problems with this tweak. Probably game related.

Like, I had problems in ffx-2, it tended to crash with this 256-colors tweak, while it seems stable in normal high color. Didn't see much improvement in this game with the tweak on anyway, easy choice in that case I'd say.

Best bet; trial and error and wait for the likes being implemented in a new version.
Using a (very) low resolution should make the biggest impact if you have a slower cpu/gpu atm tbh irl imho.

(edit: oh yunie does look good no?

^.^)

inkpapercafe · March 15th, 2007

Just for technical log:

I tried forcing 8 bit colors with Ati Tools drivers. GS plug-in open error, everyone of them I use in Emu.

DinJerr · March 16th, 2007

hmm, i got same results as bgmnot. When the window appears, everything changes back to the previous desktop colours. Do you need fullscreen to be turned on?

Mkilbride2588 · March 16th, 2007

Well, if full screen rogers your hamerstien, than I suppose it wouldn't hurt. I can't really see myself geting turned on over Fullscreen.

I've personaly tried this fix before I even used the emulator, so I couldn't really say I noticed a performance increase, but it must do something :P

Natan1981 · March 16th, 2007
