Sorry to bring this up again but I've just had another look at my settings and the following will give you excellent frame-rates on these two games using v18.

What the heck is excellent frame rates? There's only 60FPS (NTSC/PAL60 games)/50FPS (PAL) or everything else, being everything else just plain awfull. But I think I've explained this before.

Thunderforce V - 1.6 core, 1.16 GPU, 1.9 SPU, all CPU fixes OFF including frameskip/limit, sound=original in the SPU fixes menu. This makes the framerate rock-solid game

You mean 50FPS rock solid no? And before you ask this is was only released in NTSC zones (why is that I dunno, Europe is just plain discriminated I guess)

QUOTE(El Noel @ Oct 29 2006, 10:53 AM)

but you can go one better by sacrificing the music and disabling XA sound processing in the CPU menu and turning XA sound OFF in the SPU menu. Try both and let me know how you get on...

I guess you really meant 50FPS rock solid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

QUOTE(El Noel @ Oct 29 2006, 10:53 AM)

Einhander - identical settings although you must disable XA sound processing/turn XA sound OFF as the music skips.

Another NTSC only release, same nice 50FPS fun at best.


I swear that one of this days I'll just get my lazy butt out of this chair and will test to these games on the Dreamcast PSX emulator, and if they run faster I'll spend the rest of that week laughing out loud at PCSXbox. Really.

Why don't you just use a real PSX? I mean you can pick one up for $20.00. Then you'll get your 60FPS. Stop complaining about a project you've done nothing to contribute to. PCSXBox is one of the finest emulators out there. Just because you have this OCD over 60FPS doesn't mean you should chime in every chance you get with your negativity.

I'm not complaining, if you cared to check my last post about this issue was in 29 September 2006, like almost 2 months ago, it's that other dude, El Noel, that keeps nagging about it. Plus even if I knew how or wanted to contribute to the project I couldn't since Xport likes to keep the source closed and to himself dispite using GPL licenced sources from everything he can lay his hand on... just nice.

After skimming over your posts it seems that the majority of them are condescending, mocking, of a complaintive nature, or just otherwise rude.  No, in the particular case above you are not complaining - but it's definitely not a nice thing to say - that you'll be LOL at PCSXBox.

Now you are complaining (while simultaneously being rude).  I've already explained in great detail in another thread my plans for source release and the reasons why I have not already done so.  

I think your avatar is very appropriate for you.  It looks like a scowling pissant that's just about ready to crap all over anything whenever the opportunity presents itself.  I also think that you seem to have all the qualities of tool who has nothing nice to say about anything.

Note that I didn't actually call you a pissant or a tool.  You just need to read carefully.  

Now please just go away.

I just hope that's not your voice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And about me complaining, yeah that's true, but hardly news. I don't post about working stuff, if the stuff is working I'll just use it and shut up, so yes all the my posts you'll ever read will be complaints. Some suggestions may pop up once in a while but complaining posts are more likely.
Anyway I'll have another shot at PSCXbox, but this time with G-Darius (NTSC-J) that is listed on the compatibility list as 100% working but I'm not holding my breath.

[Timerever]

Nope, G-Darius runs at ~45FPS. Oh well I'm too busy with my Dreamcast anyway so I'm not worried about it and there's always the PC for that.

Has anyone used Legend of Mana with PCSXbox? I've been able to get it for the most part working well, but I was wondering if anyone had any particular settings to recommend. It runs quickly enough, but there's some occasional sound hiccuping in the sequenced music. Unlike some people here (*cough*) I'm entirely willing to tolerate some frameskipping, but the skipping in the sequenced music is something I'd like to reduce as much as I can.

My current settings are:

SCPH1001 BIOS
1.6 core (it appears a bit faster than 1.5)
CPU fixes: all off

GPU plugin 1.16
Graphics fixes: everything off except "use old frame skipping," "frameskip" and "Framelimit."

SPU plugin 1.9
SPU fixes: "XA sound" on (the game doesn't use it anywhere, so disabling it wouldn't give a speed boost), "XA speed fix" off, "reverb" simple, "interpolation" none, "wait CPU action" off, IRQ off, "sound timer meathod" threaded.

The graphics are set to no software filtering and point hardware filtering.

[El Noel]

What I meant by "rock-solid" is exactly that - rock-solid - i.e. no frame-skipping. The game plays plenty fast enough (although for some reason is doesn't run as smoothly on my friend's Xbox) to be enjoyable. You're just being pedantic while I'm trying to be helpful. If you didn't like my advice then simply don't heed to it. But don't lambast me for it; that just makes you look like an ungrateful pr!ck. I didn't have to get up off of my arse and look at my settings for the benefit (or should I say ingratitude?) of someone else. Fortunately I know that not all users here behave like spoilt brats who aren't satisfied with anything other than breaking their parents' bank balance by demanding the most expensive trainers. I will continue to be helpful to others when I can.

put tombi onto my xbox and when i tried to play it, it worked at first until it got to the load screen then it froze...

Please help me...

[danielcooper]

Awesome update! I love you guys at xport (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif)

However, I do have one humble request.

One of my favorite games, a japanese (ntsc-j) games doesn't work at all. It's called Tobal 2. Now, I now the image is fine since it WILL RUN on my PC emulator. And I know that Tobal kinda ran on version 13 and 14 though it was completely unplayable (the menus were distorted and so were the gameplay screens, only FMV was workable but you couldn't play the game).

Now, if there is some trick I'm missing to get this game to work, then somebody please tell me. However, the compatibility list is erronous. It says Tobal 2 works and this simply isn't true, at least not for version 18.

I'm not sure if this is true of all the import japanese playstation games. But in the case of Tobal 2, it just hangs on the black screen, causing the xbox to lock up.

Oh well, that's my suggestion. I think it would be cool if in a future revision there was some way to get this game to work. Tobal 2 is easily one of the top 20 PS games of all time.

Thanks again for all the hard work!

[Iakupo]

I too have not been able to get Tombi to work. I used isobuster to reip it to my laptop and then ftped it over in .bin and .cue format.

I think I have tried every combination of settings possible to get it to work but to no avail.
It is a PAL version (I'm in Australia) yet it is said to work in the compatability list, is this only for the NTSC version?

Are there a set of settings that will magicallt make it work?

I also can't get Tombi 2 to work.

Both of them go to the loading screen, almost crash go to the xport loading screen and then hang, any help that can begiven will be much appreciated.

there's no need to open a new thread for this so i post my question in here. Dark-Alex (some refer to him as God of the PSP kingdom) has created a custom firmware for the psp which has unlocked the official psx emulator of sony which emulates almost each psx title. is there any possibility this could help psx emulation in general? results of the emulation are astonishing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

just a question ...

[stircrazie]

just downloaded mk2, japan's version, for the psx and it was a psp hack. i extracted the iso from that psp program and got it to run on my xbox (psx emulator). the program extracts the image of the game. never thought i would see that version of mk on my ps1, also it boots up on my original psx(modded) if only we could get doom or syphon filter to work on the xbox.

[manu_xl]

it's not about the iso. it is about the firmware with the psx emulator integrated. and if we would be able to extraxt the emu part and use it for psx emulation in general?

[Vlcice]

The Xbox uses very different hardware from the PSP. That emulator could not simply be used on the Xbox, so I don't think it will affect PCSXbox or any other emulators at all.
