CPS3 Broken!!!

I just hope that Elsemi’s emu gets kaillera support because my laptop cannot handle the pure awesomeness that is mame, but runs like butter in the test emu.

Oh boy, I actually did try that earlier today and bad things happened. It started giving me errors about how I no longer had the right audio drivers or something, and none of the emulators worked, as well as music/videos. Once I restarted everything was fine again. All the other stuff in the processes list looked too important to delete so I didn’t wanna take a chance.

And yeah as a heads up, the graphics filter options do affect the speed of the game. It’s best with nothing (perfect ~80% of the time for me), then scanlined one is good (perfect ~60%), the rest slow it down more to varying degrees. Has anyone tried changing any of the settings in the “default game options” tabs? If so, does it help?

The game runs at a solid “/sarcasm” 80% with every configuration that would seemingly help performance, Including the things in The Default Options tab, mind you i’m on a Laptop with 3 ghz, 512 ram, and an on board video card.

Hmm, game runs full speed for me either way…

Sorry, I dunno what else to add.

Well i just made mine work today thanks to a friend here is a pic of my work in progress and i have no lag (well only at the start just for a couple of seconds and the n it runs flawless), sound? i say 8/10 but everything syncs in perfect and i have no trouble at all with pad adjustments.

Elsemi’s emulator runs flawlessly for me as well, I’m just wondering about Mame, which takes 320 megs of ram for me, and about 50 for a friend of mine on IRC, is there a memory leak or something?

I’m also running Street Fighter 3: New generation and Also 2nd Impact flawlessly.

On MamePlusPlus with Haze’s code implemented, I get it working fine except for the colours… The background is fine but the characters’ colours are all messed up, and also when changing screens (eg. from character select screen to super art select), the screen goes out of position so I cant see what super art I am selecting.

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like for me:

Looks like you need to update MAME with the newer Plus build.

I had the negative-like sprites with the version before that one so I’m assuming it’s the same for you. It also rids of those numbers at the bottom. And plz put the link instead of the full pic. :wasted:

PS. After trying out those video configurations, they suck. Direct3D with bilinear filtering (ie. the default) was the only one that looked remotely decent, and the others don’t seem to improve performance either.

^He said PlusPlus, not Plus.

When you do you think everything will be 95%-100% complete, including online play?

Uh…whenever MAME++ team releases it. Should be a day or two.

Ok, I got 3S working with the Test 2 emulator
So far, completely playable, but about 80%-90% speed
It’s a bit slow a bit every once in a while, but not choppy

On my Dell 600M laptop
1.7 GHz
512 RAM
Crappy video card

I know a lot of us are jumping the gun a bit, I didn’t expect it to be working so soon.
Anyhow, what do you guys think are causing the graphic glitches?
Also, is there any way to adjust graphics?

So far, excellent work. EXTREMELY impressed. This really made my week.

edit: 2nd Impact plays at 100% speed for me. Graphic glitches on Yun’s stage
Urien’s laugh in 2nd Impact = lose

Sorry about the pic.
But yeah… I am using plus plus.

Does anyone else using plus plus have this problem?

Folks, if you want to post screenshots, do it in thumbnail format. It would make this thread look less cluttered and more organized.

I experienced a slow down when i got an IM on MSN, so best to close all programs [not ending obscure process’] just close your browser/MediaPlayers etc.
Try it then, FULL SCREEN usually requires less memory than windowed, but this was always the case for MAME etc, the likes of FBA and other GUI heavy emulators seemed to work better other way around.

you could format your pc, and it would make a difference but honestly, best wait it out until a proper stable release.

P.S: people that say it runs flawless etc etc, i assume they mean with the known graphical glitches?

I’m trying out all the emulators at the moment and yeah I got exactly the same problem with MAME++ and Haze’s emulator aswell. MAME32 works fine except for a couple of flickering issues but I reckon it’s just as good as Elsemi’s which I tend to use mostly…

What I meant to imply that if this can happen maybe games like that can be perfectly emulated. 60, Sound, and everything else.

well, for me, new generation and second impact run flawless with some graphical glitches in yun’s stage and elena’s stage. (those are the two major ones)

Yeah same here, flawless with some graphical glitches in Second Impact. Elena’s stage is the only one I recall, and it’s not a big one.
