If you don't use it for gaming, forget about it.

Gryzor

That's what I'm thinking :( Darn...

McKlain

You can always overclock the x1600  ;D

Gryzor

Onwards and upwards we go!

Well, I could get it to 30fps :D

So an E6500 is not enough to run the emulator?  :'(

It has a Geforce GTX560Ti, maybe nVidia performs better.

Nope... The image rendering is the smallest problem here ;) It's fast enough.
I also get 38-45fps max. and stuttering sound...

Also this would make no sense... We both play "The Witcher 2" with many enabled details... And a fucking 768x272 screen should be too slow?  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Gotta tell you... I touched some setting on the motherboard (auto overclocking whatever) and now all the games run faster  :laugh:

Yeah, I know. Haters gonna hate! ::)

Hmmm did something went wrong for you?
I just mentioned that the timing problem is not caused because too slow screen rendering...

All cpc emulators produce a 768x272 (or 270 or whatever) screen, so I can name it "a fucking...." ;)

So 409 seconds is not a good score in that test, huh?  :-[

So try this benchmark on Firefox:

EDIT: Upgraded to Firefox 5.0.  Is marginally faster, 378 seconds. :)

So now you know!

Actually the graphics requirement are not high, hardware acceleration is only used to perform canvas stretching. The only barrier is the Firefox drivers blacklist.
So if you have an integrated graphics chip on your motherboard, it can prove useful to unplug your graphics card and use the integrated graphics instead.

Also, keep in mind that Chrome and Opera are working right now on supporting hardware acceleration. And hopefully their drivers blacklist won't be the same as the one in Firefox ;)
And in the longer run, we have W3C working right now on defining Web Audio API, which will be the standard audio output API for browsers.


Hello phi2x


The Web Audio API is implemented in Chrome dev-channel. The specification is not totally defined, but you can implement in your emulator. Unfortunately you can not choose the sample rate or the buffer size like in Firefox. There is also a transparent API here:
https://github.com/grantgalitz/XAudioJS
that receives samples at your desired rate and do the resampling for you. The output is Web Audio API, Mozilla Audio Data Api or Adobe Flash for the rest of browsers.


I am also focused in sound, and I have problems with Web Audio API. When it works well in speccy I will traslate into Roland (my cpc emulator). If your machine is slow, try to press F9 (it uses a fastest scaling algorithm).

And congratulations, your emulator is excelent

OK, found the issue - for sure I get no hardware acceleration in Firefox, apparently Firefox keeps a whitelist of supported video drivers, and under Linux the only supported driver is the proprietary NVidia X server.  I guess the version I have installed in Ubuntu 10.04 is not good enough...  Intel and AMD's drivers, or any open source drivers are "disastrously buggy" so Mozilla won't support them.  This also goes for Windows OpenGL drivers also.  OpenGL on OS X is fine, as is DirectX9/10 on Windows.
