Fast forward function.

Zodiacthesis · June 26th, 2011, 00:47

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I have a general question about features in the ePSXe emulator that wasn't answered anywhere else.

pSX has a fast forward function, and I like this very much for speeding up certain portions of games that aren't bypassable (like cut scenes, etc.) and I was just wondering if there was an analogous feature in ePSXe, or perhaps a plugin that made it available.

There's also a mute function in pSX which is handy sometimes (including when I'm fast forwarding), and I wondered if there's an equivalent function on ePSXe for that also.

I know some of you reading this are probably thinking, "If you like pSX so much, use that!" but pSX has a lot of compatibility problems with several PS games that I want to play, and it seems like development for that emu has ended completely.

Thanks!

In Pete's OpenGL2 plugin, under framerate settings, change the framerate to "FPS Limit 200" and press End, PgUp/PgDwn to switch between 60fps to ~120fps. Make sure you click "Show FPS display on startup".

What about a mute function?

Edit: I can't use OpenGL2, most likely because I have an Intel video card. Does this work with earlier versions?

Edit: I tried doing this in OpenGL 1.77 and it doesn't seem to do anything at all. ): Also, I don't really like the fact that you have to open a menu and toggle options. In pSX there's just a fast forward hotkey that immediately toggles it on when pressed, and off when unpressed. That's what I'm looking for.

There's no hotkey, short of using the built in menu; as for mute, if your keyboard has one, use that, otherwise turn the volume down.
