Frameskipping

[SIAS87]

Hi,

First off the emulator you have created is amazing and the best emulator I use.
I run the emulator on a 3Ghz Dual core pc running windows 7 64bit. I am currently using release 5080.
I find the frame skipping really good for games like mario kart wii, but cannot find a way to always switch it on. Each time i load dolphin i have to reset the frame skipper to 1. Is there a way to automatically set it through a key combination or command line flag?
I run the games from a game frontend called gameex and setting the frameskipper takes away from the seemless experience of a frontend.

Thanks for any help

I started an issue about this problem on the google code page a while ago but have not gotten any responses. My guess is that it is too small of an issue for anyone to be bothered with right now. I can't image it would be difficult for the emulator to remember the last frameskipping number that was used but no one seems to want to do it with so many other problems being worked on right now.

I too use GameEx, but not for Gamecube emulation, mostly for Mame, NES and SNES emulators.

I would like to know your pc specs, because you may not need to use frame skip.

Did you read his comment at all?

LuisR14 was looking at it ( at least I assume it from this commit )

/trunk/Source/Core/DolphinWX/Src/FrameTools.cpp r5035 line 147:

Quote: skippingMenu->Check(IDM_FRAMESKIP0 + SConfig::GetInstance().m_FrameSkip, true);

But I don't know if he is still working on it

My GPU is hugly underpowered and is holding it bk slightly i am using an Integrated ATI Radeon HD4200.
I get about 30-40 FPS on mario kart wii without frame skipping, which aint bad but i would prefer to play it at full speed with a few unnoticable skipped frames

I don't think that is it.

But this is what I posted.

I thaught the frameskip was broken?

[matejdro]

Its working in RC version (at least for me)

Seems like most people here have enough fast PCs to get full speed without FS, so we, "frameskipping people" are minority.

I think problem is not that big of a deal, 3 clicks more at each dolphin launch.I would rather see AUTO setting for frameskip (automatic detection to get either full speed or either good balance of frameskip/smoothnes)
