| Summary | 0003893: Correct music and sound effects OR micro stuttering. Even using this with | ||||||||||||
| Description | GameVersion: english,pal SlaveVersion: 1.1 (07.12.2017) Correct music and sound effects OR micro stuttering. Even using this with WinUAE 4.0.0beta: ExecutePostDisk=uae-configuration cachesize 0 immediate_blits false cpu_cycle_exact true cpu_multiplier 8 ...the game will not be perfect and will show micro stuttering (start to play and move from left to right). Removing "cpu_cycle_exact true" will solve this and the game will have always smooth scrolling even with a lot of sprites on screen, but at this point music and sound will not be ok... Is it possible to improve this slave a bit for perfect speed and music/audio routines? :) | ||||||||||||

Another thing: on WinUAE 040 requires also NOCACHE |

I can't reproduce this at all and if this only happens on UAE I won't spend time looking into it. Same for the NOCACHE thing, I've tried it on UAE with full cache emulation and it worked. What's your config? |
|
StingRay (developer) 2018-08-01 09:11 |
That config has JIT enabled, cycle exact and cache emulation are disabled however so there bound to be problems! However, patch still works for me with these settings, I don't have to use NOCACHE at all. What happens on your system, does the game crash? |

No no, the "real cfg" is in the icon tooltypes changing WinUAE parameters through the C:uaeconfiguration... The problem with this game for me is that: or music runs too fast, or there is no audio if you enable some fast emulation options. I'm talking about WinUAE in 040 or 060 mode... |

Seems I've finally found good settings with no micro-stutterings using WinUAE 4.x.x: ExecutePostDisk=uae-configuration cachesize 0 cpu_compatible true blitter_cycle_exact true cpu_throttle -900 immediate_blits true |

I'm still having issues with this game timings (only) on WinUAE... Too fast or missing music, too fast hi-score waiting in main menu, too fast mini-map view sprite walking (before you press Fire to start the game), etc. On the other side if I degrade it too much, besides missing main menu music etc. then I see some stuttering while scrolling horizontally. In brief, I can't find perfect settings for this game and results may change at every WinUAE release. Looks like it uses strange cpu timings for everything this game... Best I can do ATM with WinUAE 4.3.0 is: ExecutePostDisk=uae-configuration cachesize 0 cpu_compatible true blitter_cycle_exact true cpu_throttle -400 immediate_blits true but cycling through hi-score in main menu and sprite walking in the minimap are yet too fast.. |

challenge accepted. Game probably needs to be patched in many places to reduce speed. |
|

fixing music timings wastes too much CPU time if we do it naively. This locks up the game because we wasted too many beam waits music + sfx engine is too badly written. note that when game is paused music plays properly. sfx trash it. |
