Pimp your SNES

[0r!0n R364rd1355]

Okay, everyone whines enough about how slow all their SNES games run, and how it's worthless and blah blah blah...

So here it is. This is how to Pimp your snes emulator. (mind you some games, such as Starfox, MarioKart, etc. may never be up to speed, but just take 800mg of S.I.U, and you'll be fine.

First off, grab the Snes9xTYL 0.4.2, the 3.xx compatible version that you can find in the slim bundle package here - http://www.pspmod.com/forums/emulati...ator-pack.html (Slim Compatible 3.xx emulator pack)

Start it up, load desired game...
-Hit the L&R buttons simultaneously to bring up the menu
-Move over to the "MISC" window
-Make sure PSP Clockspeed is set to 333Mhz
-Open up "Hack/debug menu"
-turn on these options:
Ignore Fixed Colour
Ignore Windows clipping
Ignore Add/Sub modes
Ignore Palette writes
Fix HiRes hidden details

*NOTE: yes these options might %#$& with the appearance of some games, such as Ignore Palette writes, and Fix HiRes hidden details causing Secret of Mana's menus to flicker and change color... it's called tweaking for a reason, find what works for each game.*

-Leave the "MISC" window and go over to the "SOUND" window
-Set Output frequency to 22050Hz (if you can really tell the difference in sound quality and it makes you cry on the inside, then see the bottom for an alternate method.

So there you have it, an SNES emulator that hopefully runs well enough to dry your tears. If not, then there is one last thing to do... Detailed instructions here - How to kill yourself like a man.

I'm glad you want to share this information with everyone, but could you do it without the over-dramatization? I don't really get where the whole "whining" bit is coming from. I maintain my stance that there's no reason the PSP shouldn't be able to emulate the SNES at a decent speed without disabling most of the emulator. The only real problem is lack of programmer interest.

i agree on the whole some games will lag if you think about it you will probably never get any of the donkey kong country games to run at the right speed for the simple fact that those carts were so big and graphically intense that i dont know if we could ever get those to run smooth

Nahh, his attitude is part of the humor. Btw I choose to scoop out my eye and replace them with cadburry cream eggs, head butt a side walk or lick a hookers ass
