Has anyone gotten Star Fox to work? Seems to hang when I try to play a level.

No, no public update so far. I'm working on performance (well, mostly, about reducing the code base size...)

Great news :) Will you be looking at the FFVI audio bug too?

recently, i'm having sluggish gameplay when playing mario world - super mario after playing a few minutes. Is this a known issue on n900 or it is just me?

The StarFox cartridge originally contained an extra custom RISC graphics acceleration chip called "SuperFX" by Nintendo.

This allowed the other wise impossible task of multiple polygon rendering on the SNES which allows a game like StarFox to be rendered in real time.

Current SNES emulators (at least all the ones that I've played with) don't emulate the "SuperFX" chip's functions,

EDIT: DrNokSnes DOES emulate the SuperFX chip!

so games like StarFox play in the same way they would on a normal SNES without a SuperFX chip, which is to say not well at all with frequent freeze ups and polygons vanishing the moment the abilities of the default SNES graphics co-processor are exceeded.

Other games which utilized the SuperFX chip and will therefore be less then fully playable under DrNokSNES include:

* Dirt Trax FX [1]
* Stunt Race FX [2] (North America/PAL) / Wild Trax (Japan)
* Vortex [3]
* Dirt Racer [4] (PAL)
* Doom [5]
* Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
* Winter Gold / FX Skiing [6]

DrNokSnes does emulate the SuperFX -- and not very slowly fwiw.

Yoshi's Island is one of my favorite games and plays fine with fixed frameskip. Cannot tell about the rest of games as I don't own them.

May it be the background email checking?

.

Really? I apologize for making that assumption.

Of the SuperFX chip enabled games, I've only tried StarFox on DrNokSnes and based on the performance observed there, I assumed that the SuperFX chip was not emulated.

Does anyone know when it's going to be able to emulate Super Mario RPG? I was so happy when I though I could play that and it was the first game I tried, and no dice.
