Yes, absolutely... I noticed the flickering as well. Perfect! Sounds great.

OK it seems to be working well now, I've tested Chrono Trigger and the bug seems to have gone, the on/off flicker on the menu screen is also absent now.

Works perfectly now on CHRONO TRIGGER, thanks again David.

I wasn't happy with the analogue stick integration so I improved it. I also fixed a nasty bug which caused menu freezes when saving states, resetting and exiting whilst the analogue joystick is active. This is now fixed. I'm suprised no-one else seems to have spotted this

Anyway, it's all good now.

It happens... its a new release so I'm guessing a lot of people haven't fully tested it yet. Thanks David, you're the best!

How is the speed vs. the old one on games like Yoshi's Island or Starfox?

How is the speed vs. the old one on games like Yoshi's Island or Starfox?

No significant difference in framerate based on my testing. I used Yoshi's island as framerate is more variable on Starfox.

Constant Settings
SOUND: ON
SOUND RATE: 44100
STEREO: ON
FRAMESKIP: 0
FULL SCREEN: OFF
SHOW FPS: ON
PREFER FLUID: VID & AUD

Variables:
1) Pocketsnes-20140824
2) Pocketsnes-20150721, ANALOGUE JOYSTICK: OFF
3) Pocketsnes-20150721, ANALOGUE JOYSTICK: ON

Yoshi's island title screen (rotating island)
1) 49fps
2) 49fps
3) 49fps
Yoshi's island Intro level (occasional framerate drops present on the big jump at the end of the level)
1) 61fps solid
2) 61fps solid
3) 61fps, occasionally dropping to 60 then up to 62.

Hello, this is a noob question.
I?m using theese pocketsnes settings:

Sound rate 22050 - edit: 44100 is better
Frameskip auto
Fullscreen smooth
Prefer fluid audio

I would like to edit pocketsnes_options.opt to set the fullscreen aspect Ratio to 5:4.
Also I would like to lower the audio volume a bit, so it matches that of other emus.
edit: my general master volume is 93. Pocketsnes works fine with volume 89.

Would that be possible? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

dreamesper · « **Reply #348 on:** July 28, 2015, 11:40:28 pm »

I'm not sure how to adjust the aspect ratio but if you want to adjust the volume for any emu while playing, just hold the power slider all the way up while pressing/holding directional UP or DOWN to raise/lower volume level.

Hope that helps.

Hi guys

I'm having a problem with this, as I use the Gmenu2x selector to launch a ROM.

Once the emulator starts, I can hear the game running but it's under the menu so I can't see or play it.

Can you add Gmenu2x file selector support? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong...?

You need to be more specific which emulator Pocketsnes have the problems you mention? The pocketsnes based on nebuleon code or the pocketsnes based on David Knight code?

Also if you didnt update your GCW Zero with the latest firmware its possible you have those problems.You can solve the issues on some emulators updating your gcw zero.

I seen this asked a month ago but was never really answered, but is there any way to adjust aspect ratio?

That doesnt do anything, atleast not for this emulator.

However, I do feel like an idiot. I completely missed the "fullscreen" option in the menu which lets me stretch the image. So I'm happy now.

Are you sure you are running the latest firmware?

Yep, unless there is a newer version than the Aug. 20th 2014 build.

Thanks for this great emulator everything works flawlessly.

One thing though, it would be great if we could manually load SRAM (save data) files.
Right now it can only be done by putting them in .snes96_snapshots/
with the same name as the rom file.

TheChristoph · « **Reply #357 on:** December 23, 2015, 10:19:46 pm »

Where is sram located? I want to put an sram file from an RPG I've been playing on my Zero, and I've gone through every folder that shows up when I connect to my Zero through FTP, and I see no srm files anywhere.

Ah! Found it. Filezilla wasn't showing hidden files and folders.

/usr/local/home/.snes96_snapshots/

Hey Nebuleon, I have kind of a crazy question. Could the MSU-1 enhancement be added to Snes9x? If you're not familiar with it it was written by byuu and here's his page regarding it, http://byuu.org/snes/msu1/

There's only a few projects that take advantage of it but one of them is the laser disk port to the SNES of Super Road Blasters, http://www.dforce3000.de/?p=news&t=msu1

Currently the only emu to support it is bsnes but afaik that emu has never been ported to a handheld device.
Name the games that use this chip, and tell me whether upstream Snes9x 1.53+ has code to provide emulation for this chip.

edit: That is, games other than this one game, Super Road Blasters...

Here's an old quote from many pages ago, but I was wondering how feasible it is now to get MSU-1 support in?
There have been a lot of MSU-1 hacks released since this was brought up last, and there is no doubt more to come. I think there are enough games now to merit supporting this.

Here's a list of the current MSU-1 hacks available:

Chrono Trigger
Donkey Kong Country 2
Flashback
F-Zero
BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2
Mega Man X
Mega Man X2
Mega Man X3
Rock n' Roll Racing
Secret of Mana
Super Mario World
Super Metroid
Super Road Blaster
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time
The Legend of Zelda
Top Gear 2

I've been playing most of these on my SD2SNES cart, and I gotta say they are really good. Really breathes some new life back into these great titles. Chrono Trigger with symphonic CD-quality music is just incredible!
It would be great if we can play these on the GCW.

David Knight · « **Reply #359 on:** February 02, 2016, 08:03:35 pm »

According to wikipedia only BSNES (075+) and higan (094+) support MSU.

So support would need to be added to PocketSNES. In addition, because you would need to emulate another chip it would have a significant effect on emulation speed.

I doubt the GCW0 can handle this.
