"Overcloking" your emulator This will guide you to overcloking / seting custom speeds to your favourite emulator Note: this is my first oficial file ever... so please go easy ok? First of all.. Greeting to all Extalia members! Hail Da fighters of games!!! -------------------------------- Part 1 -Use of this "overcloking" Part 2 -What you need Part 3 -NTSC/PAL Part 4 -The "overcloking" -------------------------------- Part 1 this can be used for : People who want the target machine "system being emulated" cpu to slow down to keep track of all code, good for debug. Customizing the frame rate Taking perfect screenshots for gaming sites Playing in slowmotion "if you think its fun :)" -------------------------------- What you need : Basic memory search knowledge A emulator "we will use GENS V2.11" search for GENS in a popular search engine. A Rom. NTSC/PAL "read bellow" Note: About roms being legal or not... no they are not legal in anyway, but since we can use ANY rom, we will use a public domain rom. do a search on you favourite site for PD roms. -------------------------------- NTSC/PAL i'll cover the basics about this in gaming consoles. NTSC = 60 fps PAL = 50 fps so... NTSC Faster, PAL Slower. Simple has that. -------------------------------- The overcloking. Like i said, i will use GENS, a sega genesis/megadrive emulator so i'll use the exact names of the menus / options in GENS Lets start... SO, we know PAL is slower and NTSC faster... so we go to GENS, in CPU, go to country and put PAL The country doesn't mater at all as long it is in PAL in our favourite memory search program we start a search for a unknown value. search.... When it done, we need to change the value of what we are looking for how we do that??? we increase the value by changing the cpu to NTSC :) again for the search... we say the value increased this time... when its done searching We change it again... PAL... decrease... search... again... NTSC... Increase search... PAL Decrease search... i think you got my point :) well, i got this address 00E4B64C and the value is 488 hmmm 488 that equals to what? the CPU is set to NTSC here, so 488 is NTSC we set it to pal to see what we get has value... 487... hmmm So, 488 = NTSC and 487 = PAL. Play around with the values ^_^ Note: really High Values like 20000 or even higher can really slow down your system performance. Since you requesting more MHZ from the GENS emulated chip it will ask for more Mhz of your real cpu. -------------------------------- Porfa For Extalia.com
