Disable shadows? - xXDestroyerGRXx - 03-20-2011

It it possible to do this?

im currently playing ztp so i can't play with 20 fps and lower of course.

Games can render shadows different ways. And I doubt this would have a significant impact on performance. This would be the most retarded hack ever.

I disable shadows even in pc games for better performance Big Grin
Could a hack like that help the fps stay 20+ fps most of the time?

my guess would be no, i play ztp on my 4200HD IGP with native Resolution and nothing can help the speed when it comes to hyrule field ..... you need a high-end CPU and a Triple-Channel DDR3 system in order to play this game with constant frame rates.

1. These are not pc games

2. Even if you did that it would only reduce gpu load. Emulation is usually cpu bound.
