the watchdog hack DOES NOT work. Please dont' add it to your build. The patch does nothing now. It's dead now according to cacofff.

It's dead now according to cacofff. for me watchdog does not make game faster and maybe cause slowdown so I don't want to add it.I just post here for people that lately have problems about has full vps but not fps (frame limit incorrect or thread not sync correctly). this is just for test only. http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/7286/kkkkc.jpg [23 FPS] this is mamario 5039 build (my normal build also the same),you can see vps=60@100% but fps only 23 http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/9849/kkkk4.jpg [29 FPS] close to the same place as above with watchdog (I just assume that if vps show 100% in other svn but fps not full ,watchdog may help correct it to get full) http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/1839/kkkk3.jpg [23 FPS] if it can get only 23 fps correct fps/vps/% must be like this (with watchdog) http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/4355/kkkk2u.jpg 02-12-2010, 11:27 AM
From what I understand FPS should be half of the VPS, I don't usually have a problem. Any issues as of lately seem to be related to the frame limiter and audio throttle, watchdog will not fix these.
Watchdog has no effect anymore, adding it to any build now is just adding bloat and is bound to cause problems. I still have to get in touch with Satanic666/Orleans and inform him to remove watchdog and unlimited JIT cache from his builds since these are no longer needed in the latest revisions. 02-12-2010, 11:32 AM

VPS must be 60 for ntsc and 50 for pal game and FPS is depends on the scene ,it maybe 60,30 NTSC or 50,25-30 pal
if you see FPS in picture above ,I use watchdog to get more speed (I mean more correct FPS) when vps is at 100% but fps not. 02-12-2010, 12:05 PM
the incorrect fps is due to desync of emulated cpu and emulated gpu. Turn off idle skipping, dual core or framelimit to get "proper" speeds. Use audio throttle instead.

Use audio throttle instead. acctually as I read watchdog code.If i'm correct it help about sync problem as it checks the sync more frequently . I try use frame limit and audio throttle,frame limit alone,audio throttle alone.won't fix.Turn off idle skipping might be can correct but I cann't play with that slower speed. 02-12-2010, 12:55 PM
The slower speed with audio throttle enabled seems to affect a few games, but I'm not exactly sure what revision is responsible. Actually the slower speeds happen with either the audio throttle or frame limit is enabled, RE Code Veronica X is locked at 20 FPS unless audio throttle and frame limit is disabled. Other than this game and few others the frame limit and audio throttle work as intended.

http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/thread-662...l#pid67787 you can see Typhoon 3 pics.All pics have differrent FPS but if you see VPS all show 60 @ 100% speed
This is what I'm talking about.Something strange happen to frame limit lately.so I just revive watchdog to see if it can help,that's all. 02-13-2010, 12:10 AM
as much as i know vps can be 120, but if fps is not (NTSC) 30/60, or (PAL)25/50 it will not be fullspeed
see my is vps is *almost always 60,b ut fps jump around so I'm excited to try the watchdog add, i think it s good call.. It's a great addition, thanks will report back when tested.
I have a few requests. 1) Can this get a sticky please, these builds deserve it! 2) SSSE3 + watchdog 64bit ...test compile 2) I don't know if you can this is programming and I'm not sure if its the same thing as compiling(I'm new hah).. . Make dolphin able to see 2 real wiimotes, this is not working at all.well it works to a degree but there are some dolphin related issues with it..This would be great. See issues here 3) Again I'm not sure if it's possible but, if you could make dolphin use quad core instead of duel only this would make alot of people happy. 4) Just needed to say ...Thanks for all your hard work spell your doing great, everyone here appreciates it! |
