Lol got it now. Not sure of any qualitative tests I can do to see performance increase... but what the hey. Also you'll probably be stuck without an answer on that thread for a while, as most sensible Aussies are in bed by now :P

First thing I noticed was 1080 Snowboarding was REALLY slow. Second thing I noticed was they've renamed frameskip to frame render... to be politically correct. Third thing I noticed is 1080 hasn't improved a lot... but I've never been the type to pick up slight speed changes.

Devel is basically unrestricted, and "upgrade" with get all kinds of packages from it. We have deleted packages that would cause reboot loops in the past, so you have been warned.

Yep

Mario 64 is indeed a bit faster for me.

Well, since I will have to change the defaults, any other suggestions about gles2n64 defaults to change?

frame render to 2 and still keep frame buffer disabled in my opinion.

A "test" sound plugin -- drop it into /usr/lib/mupen64plugins, enable it via config dialog and play some game.
To me it sounds as bad as the original one.

This plugin removes most of the sound logic and just streams directly to pulseaudio but, unlike notaz's, this one also removes the builtin resampler (pulseaudio would resample either way...).

EDIT: Mostly useless, same effect can be obtained by just setting the LOW_BUFFER_LOAD_LEVEL and HIGH_BUFFER_LOAD_LEVEL to ridiculously high values...

It's a bit better. Thing is, it sounds perfect in areas where the framerate is high but it cuts off every second where the framerate goes down. Unsurprisingly, the framerate drops with this enabled. I'm thinking that if we manage to up the framerate this would be perfect.

Tested this with Mario 64 btw.

Maybe sound is trying to stay in synch with frame rate? I dunno ._.

Ok so let me preface this by saying - yes I read the FAQ and yes I searched this thread and the forums in general.

Now the issue. When I start a game I get sound - no video whatsoever, not even a blank screen. Running from command line gives me

Code:

I am assuming I am missing something (though I cant figure out what) given the EGL_BAD_ALLOC message on the SDL GLES line.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS3 controller support/mapping fix will be a great update...

I had exactly the same problem, but after rebooting it worked for me.

Ahh yes, sorry my bad.

I see what you mean now. Was using DK who does have eyes and when the emu crashed I assumed it was just at random. Restarted and played through bonus levels which worked fine so thought all was good. Seems I should have been more thorough.
