[Patch] switchableTurbomode - Iulius - 08-15-2009

Yes, frameskip enables new possibilities Smile

Some games just have those annoying cutscenes that cant be skipped (hi Z:WW Dodgy)


So i made a switchable turbo mode.

- It deactivates the framelimiter and sets frameskip to 9 while it is on and resets old values when turned off

- does not deactivate other audio (impossible/not usefull as audio is a plugin)

- it gets activated by pressing L+R+A+B+forward (stick)
- it gets deactivated by pressing L+R+A+B+backwards (stick)

This is cool! Good work! I haven't tested it though, but the idea is good. Maybe you should add the possilbility to change the hotkeys. I mean, if someone is using a cheat or something that uses that button-combo, they'll switch between the Turbomode all the time they use the cheat. Well, I'm not sure if any cheat uses that button-combo, but you can add it just in case. It's just an idea.

I think I'll test it tomorrow. I'll try to give you some feedback then!

Just prevent the DSP from recieving mails, or a pause Audio function could be added to the delspec

Huh

sorry i didn't work with audio at all, so i dont know anything about it.

could you point me to which file that contains that is accesable inside core ?


Quote:Maybe you should add the possilbility to change the hotkeys

i dont think im familiar enough with dolphin right now to do that.

the "easiest" way would be to add it to some pad-plugin, but then it would only work for that plugin.


Quote:or something that uses that button-combo

well, thats why i choose the control stick in the chain.

i cant think of any combination that requieres those keys and control stick.

i could add c-stick too, but then you need like 3 hands Tongue
changed patch in first post.

hanging bug is solved, now hangs a maximum of 1 second after turning of turbo mode, in general MUCH less.

Most times you will not even recognize it anymore.


RE: [Patch] switchableTurbomode - Gryphon93 - 08-15-2009

Could you please upload the patch anywhere else than upload.to, please? I can't download the patch. I get an error that says that the file couldn't be find on the server. I recommend mediafire.com, because it's free and quite fast. I want to test your patch, as I said earlier, so I can give you feedback.
