Re: PowerPC clock speed now automatically set to board values

A simple solution for people having problems with the UI might be to just use 166MHz as the speed. Have not tested but games should be fine as they all measure clock cycles taken by a frame and are therefore relatively clock speed invariant. 166 is what Step 2.x need anyway and it’s a surplus for th...

Re: Sweet'n'Soft Waffles project.

There is this on GitHub but it’s very barebones. Maybe you can find something better. My guess is that in the 90’s there were some alternatives and perhaps they can still be found.

Re: Sweet'n'Soft Waffles project.

Not that I know of. Everyone seems to use gas (gcc) these days. It’s really not too much of a burden to go through a .o file. Just use a Makefile and forget about it :)

Re: PowerPC clock speed now automatically set to board values

I would not be understanding this exercise of adjusting the automatic PPC... it is advantageous and logical for PCs that run supermodel without performance problems. I guess it's because some games need more hardware than others, it's 2024 🤣 If you have a super PC I don't think you need to lower th...

Re: PowerPC clock speed now automatically set to board values

The author of the UI needs to fix that.

Re: Sweet'n'Soft Waffles project.

I don't think there is an exact equivalent. I think the easiest way is just to shift right and test the LSB. You can use srw to do this then and with 1. You have 4x the number of registers to work with vs. M68K, so this should be no problem. I thought rlwinm. would be useful but its shift count is c...

Re: Light gun games - specifically Lost World crosshair issues

Sorry, didn't see this till now. Glad it's working for you. What's going on with bass? Re: LA Machineguns, it's quite easy to calibrate. You basically just want to move the mouse horizontally and vertically across the entire range. If I recall correctly, a button has to be pressed to start calibrati...

Re: Black Flashes (von254g)

I have fixed this. As of e59ecea, the PPC frequency will be set automatically based on board stepping. Don't specify -ppc-frequency anymore unless you absolutely need to lower the speed because your computer is too slow.

PowerPC clock speed now automatically set to board values

As of version e59ecea, the PowerPC frequency is set automatically based on board stepping (66, 100, or 166). You should be able to remove this from your Supermodel.ini files and make sure it is not set. If you're using a frontend that requires a value, set it to 0. Use -ppc-frequency / PowerPCFreque...
