not a problem - dont worry!

[james.miller]

Does anyone know how to display the frame rate in full screen mode?

 

[Doomulation]

You can't. Except with glide64. Set it in the video configuration.

 

[james.miller]

i have a geforce - i cant use glide

 

[Trotterwatch]

You could use the Glide3x Wrapper, but it's far from perfect at the moment.

You could also use Fraps, available from www.fraps.com for FPS measurement in Fullscreen. Though to be honest I am pretty dubious about the accuracy of this with Jabos plugin.

 

[james.miller]

thanks for the suggestions. ill take a look

 

[james.miller]

i dont get any display with fraps.can you help?

 

[Trotterwatch]

It should work automatically, just open up Fraps and minimise it to the task tray (it has to remain open).

If this doesn't work, then I can only ascertain it has issues with your system for some reason.

 

[james.miller]

yeah it must do.i shouldnt worry about.thanks for that though

 

[Smiff]

hmm cool that prog works

 

[james.miller]

well like i said im not that bothered

 

[Smiff]

yeah but it's cool that it works. that's the first time i've seen the real fPS out of PJ. PJ seems to be dead on aswell, which is nice.

 

[james.miller]

any ideas why it doesnt work on mine?

 

[Trotterwatch]

Try using Jabos D3D 1.4, if you haven't already. I say this simply because, that is the version I tested.

Certain games (or in this case plugins) don't write a certain value which FRAPS uses to judge the framerate, so in that case you won't get any reading whatsoever. The writeup about this problem is on the Fraps webpage.

Though to be honest I am pretty dubious about the accuracy of this with Jabos plugin.

I said this earlier, and would actually like to take that back. It does seem to be very accurate (with the FPS limiter on, it runs at a constant 30FPS, without it climbs a lot higer).

 

[Trotterwatch]

Fixed your prob:

Go into the graphics plugin settings, and ensure you have the 'Buffer display mode' set to: Triple Buffer

If this setting is on Transfer Memory then Fraps won't work.

 

[james.miller]

execellent! thankyou it works now!
i can start testing some games. what are you guys getting with it?

 

[james.miller]

how come my frame rate is half what i get in windowed mode?

 

[Trotterwatch]

Unsure, that happens to me as well. However, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the emulator, as fullscreen shows 30FPS constant - unless I turn off the Frame Limiter, in which case it goes much faster. I like it the way it is though, very smooth and nice.

 

[james.miller]

yes it is smooth. strange though. perfect plods along at 120pfs whithout the limiter on in windowed mode.60ps in fullscreen.

but, which one is wrong? windowed or fullscreen?

 

[Trotterwatch]

Probably neither are wrong, the way I look at it, if it runs smooth for you then don't worry about it
