Tweak the turbo button?

Sarkynin · April 14th, 2012, 16:47

Hello Everynyan! I'm actually searching for an option to tweak the fast forward button. When I play Pokémon Silver, the turbo launch the game at a great speed, but in Emerald it just accelerate a bit. Can't I upgrade the speed of the fast forward? Thank's!

It's because GBA games require more processing power than GBC color games.

I just recently found this out but if you use an OLDER version of VisualBoyAdvance, such as version 1.7.2, you will get a better speed boost from turbo for some reason.

For me I went from about 550% (still pretty fast, lol I know) with VBA 1.8.0, to easily over 1000% with VBA 1.7.2 with filters enabled, too.

Correct. It accelerates the game to the maximum of your system's capabilities so if it accelerates less for one game than another that means your system can't handle more.
