I got a first version done, but im not happy with it.
auto-watchdog patch what it does : check if a inc/decrease of watchdog by "5" will improve fps or not. problem is : smaller changes then ~5 will end in a too small fps change to decide if a fps change came from watchdog change or scene change of the game. also longer observation will not increase accuracy as the graphic situation probably changes even more then in 1 second as it is now. Im unsure how to improve it at the moment. how to use : - patch it (ignore those few errors) - start game - auto mode is allways active atm - you can see the watchdog value in title screen, it replaces the "vps" tested with : zelda tp : works pretty good as game fps are pretty much the same in each area. Around 5-10 seconds till best value is reached. mario sunshine : works bad, too much jitter in fps. Best value never reached. SSBM : works opposite way. reaches best fps very good, but that means slower speed for this game. -> auto-frameskip games need an inverse mode 08-13-2009, 03:16 AM
The last watchdog patch was for revision 3938, Dolphin is at revision 3972 now..
Does the patch still work, if not is there an updated version in the works?
I don't think it will be necessary to use the watchdog patch for now, the auto frame skipper should replace it with similar or even better results, will test.
Disregard that, the auto-frame skipper does speed up all games in general, while the watchdog speeds up a few of them in a more smooth way. I'll be keeping it. (Patch still works for newest revs)

yes, low watchdog is still needed for games with build in frameskip.
new frameskip wont help them. 08-14-2009, 12:30 PM

If you play SSBB, USE WATCHDOG.
Got some good news to come...
