Recommended Posts

I've been using the PicoDrive 0.52 (Sega Genesis) for the T-Mobile Dash. Theres a perfect framerate when sound is disabled, but when sound is enabled there is a noticable slow down. Any Fixes for this problem?

System Information:

ROM Version: 1.22.531.4 (The latest Update from T-Mobile, I'm assuming Windows Mobile 6)

RAM: 64Mb

FLASH: 128Mb

Speed: 201 MHz

hhheh, another conscious man on forum.

you know, i had slowdowns with sound on 400 mhz xcsale cpu....

sad omap cpu may be just not capable, what you think?

two things that you can do, sorry three things,sorry, four things:

- set frameskip to higher level, but not too high, if you want 60 fps with sound, be real, plzzz.

- set sound to worse quality,

- overclock your machine( i'm on omap too, using batterystatus to OC)

- change device for sth more suitable.....

and no, there's no xbox360 emu for OMAP yet.

omap = probably your machines' cpu. 201 mhz is real 195 mhz...

battery status = bs = http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_X...o_WM5_iM_cs.htm

dunno, if it's working for smartphone, though, i think you can easliy find something to overclock

oc = overclocking.

is there any downsides to overlocking?

no, it wont harm you device. if you overclock it too high your device will just turn off (or freeze and hten turn off) and then you turn it back on. obviousy this means youve overclocked too high. overclocking to 252mhz is a safe speed to overclock too. some devices can get up to 264mhz but others have problems at 264mhz (not bad problems, just freezing sometimes).

Nah.

It harms your device pretty badly, I believe/know. If you overclock into K98 mode, then it should preserve the SIM card so you can use it at a better time, such as talking on the cell phone. It's up to you, though. It's your decision if the juice is worth the pain in the ass squeeze.

I installed one of the versions of Picodrive and it doesn't fit to screen. Where did you get yours at? Im dieing to play some Mortal Kombat on my phone!

well the settings I have tried, is that if you turn off shadow and highlight and use fast render on most games it will just keep the speed up but some games it will freeze so you just have to watch the game
