How is the game Croc: Legend of the Gobbo's doing at the current state?
Can anybody try it out for me pretty please

Hi guys! Great work on the emulator!
But I have one problem: when playing Spyro 2 or 3 Spyro keeps falling trough the floor. This started after the latest update. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks!

Since getting a replacement n900, GPU acceleration has not worked. Just installed the latest version, but still the same result.

I started it from terminal to see if there were any error messages and it just constantly says "SGX out of mem event"

If I switch off GPU, or use psx re-amed then it works fine...

Hmmm, mupen is working as normal, so I'm a bit confused..

maybe you should disable frameskip and enable the rootcounter hack 1

Croc works pretty well. Note that I've tried a ripped version so I dunno if the videos work or not. This version of PSX4M seems to work really well for some games (g-darius runs much faster for example) while the frameskip options make several others stutter/jump too many frames or the screen blink like crazy. Jumping flash still hangs after the 1st boss but it runs much faster. The frameskipping options make the game stutter when you jump, but even if you disable frameskipping it runs faster than it did with R8.

Just tried that, but it stays the same. still falling... I use PSXrearmed.

edit: I just reverted to PSXreArmed version 0.4.0.10, and that works fine.

We could do a compatibility list for R11.

Games I've tested so far: (at 1ghz, sound disabled)

Adventures of Lomax - 40 - 45 fps, frameskip disabled
Bomberman Fantasy Race - 25 - 30 fps, frameskip - ntsc
Breath of Fire IV - constant 30 fps, frameskip ntsc
Croc - 25 - 30 fps (don't remember the frameskip settings)
Crash Bandicoot 3 - Warped - 20 - 30 fps, frameskip ntsc (framerate was better in R8)
Crash Team Racing - [needs bios] (Adventure mode still doesn't work) 20 - 30 fps, frameskip disabled
Destruction Derby - Almost constant 30fps, can drop a bit when a lot of cars pile up. Frameskip ntsc
Rage Racer - about 20 fps most of the time, tried all frameskip options, doesn't seem to make much of a difference other than making the menu blink (ran much better in R8)
Ridge Racer - 20 - 30 fps depending on where you are on the track. Framerate ntsc (framerate was more stable in R8)
Rally Cross 2 - 25 - 30 fps, frameskip ntsc
G-Darius - 29 - 35 fps, frameskip ntsc (runs much better in R11)
Wipeout XL/2097 - Constant 30 fps. Frameskip disabled
Jumping Flash - 25 - 30 fps Frameskip disabled [crashes after the first boss like in R8 but it runs much better in R11]
Motortoon Gran Prix - Constant 25 fps. frameskip ntsc
Tombi 2 - 20 - 30 fps. frameskip ntsc
Strider 2 - Constant 30 fps. frameskip ntsc [menu blinking like Rage Racer, but in game it's ok]
Wipeout 3 Special Edition - 20 - 25 fps. Frameskip disabled

Gran Turismo 2 simulation disc - Crashes [worked in R8]
Road Rash - Crashes [worked in R8]

Overall this is a great release. At 25 fps and over a lot of games play great. It's only a shame about Rage Racer since I used to play it a lot.

In this release FF8 is pretty much broken. All the same settings since the last video:

And FF8 is choppy and unplayable. Hmm... what do you think happened?

Have you tried disabling frameskip? It helps a lot in some games.

Very good release. Is there anyway to disable the backlight timeout like as in some media players?
