Problem with engine modes

[mosipd]

Got the emulator working great, and downloaded my favorite rom tetris attack...and the game works fine...except for the problem that it runs slow anyway...i searched the forums high and low and tried for about 2 hours to mess with the game and get it to run good...to no eval...only thing i was able to do that really sped up the game was change the engine mode from anything to psp accelerated...but then nothing loads when i go to play the game...all the menus work fine..and when i start a game...the game seems to be running extremely smooth...but no real graphics...it seems to be missing textures...any ideas? theres no tearing or anything...its got a few images on the screen...but the shapes of the game dont load along with just about everything else...any help is appreciated...as the game seems to be running super on psp accelerated...

lol, basicly PSP accelerated uses all of the psp's ressources to emulate, while anything else is known as "software emulation" (very very slow, yes)

So your only choice for decent speeds is PSP accelerated + accurate (accurate will probably fix your problem of missing graphics)

Leave frameskip on auto see if it fixes the speed issue, and make sure vsync is off
If you're using the non-me version, fiddling with the sound quality or flat out turning it off will help as well

Also note that certain games that use specialized chips will never work at full speed (Starfox, Stunt Race FX, Yoshi's Island...)

make sure you run it on 333 of you are on kernel mode. if you are in user mode, use 300
