That's really cool, does it work in Metroid Prime? (E.g. Limiting frames to 30 instead of 50/60, keepinig speed at full)
RE: Need help with my framelimiter - Iulius - 06-07-2009
i dont know, only got the 4 games i wrote for testing.
but you can compile it yourself to test it.
at the moment its 75% chance that it works
edit : made a new one.
the old one changes waitingtime only once a second.
The new one uses each new frametime for cpu-suspend.
This produces much more stable FPS + will not cause any slowdown if game runs slower then choosen framelimit.
still, SSBM does not work. other 3 games work very well.
Code:
[b]static u32 targetfps = 30;
static u64 old_frametime=0;
u64 new_frametime;
s16 wait_frametime;[/b]
frames++;
[b]new_frametime=Timer.GetTimeDifference()-old_frametime;
old_frametime=Timer.GetTimeDifference();
wait_frametime=((1000/targetfps)-new_frametime)-1;
if (wait_frametime>0)
Common::SleepCurrentThread(wait_frametime*2);
[/b]
if (Timer.GetTimeDifference() >= 1000)
{
[b]old_frametime=0;[/b]RE: Need help with my framelimiter - cmccmc - 06-08-2009
looks great, good job
RE: Need help with my framelimiter - Iulius - 06-08-2009
included it into main config window.
Few screens attached.
to compare : with "other audio on" its 18fps with 100% cpu use
[attachment=535][attachment=536][attachment=537]
still need help with the thread management.
it seems "CurrentThread" isn't enough for every game. but i have no idea which threads are running and how i can make them go to sleep.
RE: Need help with my framelimiter - BlackLionPT - 06-08-2009
can you compile the lastest version of dolphin, with that plz?
To test, if my games work too =p
and this is one great think that MUST be implemented in googlecode, to the official dolphin project =p
RE: Need help with my framelimiter - Iulius - 06-08-2009
i created a patch that can be used to compile yourself :
http://rapidshare.com/files/241944421/framelimit-patch.patch.html
maybe i can provide compiled version later, if needed.
RE: Need help with my framelimiter - BlackLionPT - 06-08-2009
i don't know how to compile this, but isn't there a way to compile only the file tan contains this frame limit think, and than replace the file in normal dolphin?
RE: Need help with my framelimiter - Iulius - 06-08-2009
it would be possible for the same rev of dolphin, but as this changes 20 times a day, it would not make sense to do that.
i'll upload a compiled version of newest svn + framelimit tomorrow.
RE: Need help with my framelimiter - Iulius - 06-08-2009
edit : got it
problem was the dualcore watchdog which was only checking every 4th frame at 60fps.
this means 3 frames were still running too fast resulting in too fast gameplay.
i updated it to check every frame @ 60fps and now SSBM also works
compiled file and sourcecode in first post.
