zodiac, LJP running snes slow...

[uvamosk]

Hey,
First post this is more of a question. I have LJP running on a Zod with Lightspeed installed boosting it to 300mhz. Im trying to run FF6 my fave game for SNES one of the main reasons i bought The zod. But its really slow running. I dont really get why cause a 300mhz zod with 8mb vid shouldnt be that chuggy should it ?

This leads to my second question This to the maker of LJP If isnt a problem with me setting things up right and it has to do with your code. Are there plans to speed up the Snes part of your code? The reason I ask is Might be intersted in makeing a donaton if there is. Im just curious and you have done a great job with the whole program. Hope to help one day after i get out of school lol...

First, you can't have a Zodiac running at 300Mhz. Lightspeed won't allow it and it would be too much unstable to keep running for more than 1 second AFAIK.

Second, SNES on the Zod is not perfectly fast. Heck, not even on the PSP (in 333MHz). But there are some tricks you can do.
- Frameskipping
- Sound off/lower frequency
- Renderer: fast
- Fast Sprites
- Transparency off
- Use one/several of the GFX hacks

SNES is already improved a lot and it's hard to optimize it more, not impossible of course, but the more you optimize the harder it gets.
