fine OK. One last thing. How do you or able to get 60fps on your hardware?

You can't if the game was desinged for 30/25 FPS

That's why I was puzzled when he said that. Well you can get that if you turn the FPS limit off and if your CPU can manage to do that as well in the game.

games are capped because the hardware cant handle drawing the graphics 60 times a second, even xbox360 games alot of games run at 30fps because maintaining 60fps is hardwork, forza 4 for example, turn10 did an insane amount of work on their engine to get that constant 60 FPS in the game

also, running PAL games at 30fps on a PAL TV would make the game run 20% faster, (i modded my snes for this sort of thing) and it runs too fast

the hz on the TV just means how fast the TV refreshes, the higher the Hz the smoother the image looks while things are moving. where as the FPS of the game, is how fast the game runs, the game will play the animations at 30 times a second, which is less work for the GPU than sending them 60 times a second.

think of it like them spinning wheels with the pictures, and you look through the slits, if they had more slits the animation would look smoother because there is less time for the next slit to appear, not an exact comparison but its sort of the same concept

all this is sort of getting mixed up now, but if a game is running at 30FPS and it says 100% speed then thats how fast the game runs, you can disable the framelimiter to just let the game run as fast as your hardware will allow, i can play zelda WW at like 200FPS, but the screen is still refreshing at 60 times a second

Actually Shonumi just tried to explain to you that fps max could vary according to what the game had been made for. 25 OR 50 and 30 OR 60. You can't change that

Well, some PAL games CAN run at 30/60 FPS with the PAL60 option

Yeah but it's a "hack". I was considering their "native" fps

Is it? I thought it was normal because some games will ask if you want to use 50/60hz when they are first booted

Not false. I had forgotten this. Few games though
