Speed UP

[jk389]

I've taken a break from chankast until recently when i acquired a copy of MvC2.
What's weird is that I'm having some fairly serious issuese with framerate....getting around 20-25 in game.
Now I understand the difficulties involved in emulation, but other people are claiming that they have it running fine.

I've got a P4 2.4Ghz, 512MB RAM, GF4 Ti4200, and I'm wondering whether the issue is low specs, or am I just doing something else wrong?

Um, given the current status of the emulator, I'd say that 20-25 FPS IS fine.

Try enabling "capcom hack", I'd bet thats most likely your problem. This game freezes every once in a while for me though.

 

[jk389]

That's the problem...I DO enable capcom hack. And it's STILL too slow.

in your vid card settings make sure antialiasing is off.

How can I cjange my setting on GeForce to make off antileasing???

 

[T-Kimura]

right click your desktop -> properties -> settings tab > click advanced -> click your geforce tab now somewhere there should be an option to turn off antialiasing

please
can you tell me how is the best configuration of Geforce??

Those specs in your sig can't be right surely!

To boost Chankast's speed you need to free up CPU cycles, so close background applications. Then you could underclock the Dreamcast Processor with -, or overclock your actual CPU or buy a new CPU.

I doubt changing vid card options will have much effect, since the CPU is the bottleneck in this case. Thats why I get the same FPS when I increase the resolution and add AA. Updating your drivers would by good if you are having problems with glitches that aren't known issues.

OK
friend look my video card, is it good??? or not??
please I need an opinion

vid card settings do kinda matter, when i turn antialiasing on chankast is crazy slow but when i turn it off i get a drastic speed increase

Have you tried setting priority to high? usually it gives about 5 more fps in every game I tried it

Anyway, I think that what's missing here is some kind of frameskip tool, almost all emulators allow this and it will improve performance greatly.
