DS Emulation Slow on Wii U

Open Enderbluedog06 opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Everytime I try and run a DS game on Wii u, it struggles to reach 60 fps. Maybe it's an issue with my settings or the fact that I didn't include a DS bios or whatever, but I'm still having issues and I don't know how to fix.

I haven't tried every settings combination, but out of the few I've tried, none have seemed to fix the problem

Also, thank you Hydr8gon and anyone else who worked on this project, it's amazing that you've managed to do this.

hey there, i'd like to also ask, where is the filepath that the bios should go?: and what revision bios should be used? thanks.

I had an idea If you add frame skipping to choose between 1, 2 and 3 manually, this would improve the performance of the game since this emulator is not that slow, so it looks like one I emulated on the weak PC I had and I skipped 1 or 2 fps and the games were normal maybe it works on the Wiiu Noods the same way it works on the Wiiu ppsspp I tried to talk about the idea but it's closed there so I'm talking here

@Teodorofg So, as far as I tested, the emulator runs at 33 fps or less in some games, the emulator is better than before, but I wanted to give an idea to the developer that it would be, add the manual frameskip of 1 2 and 3 to choose from, and thus help some games to get better, while the emulator in which the developer updates will improve over time.

I'm really interested in this project on Wii U for playing games that can't be run on Wii U's VC (Super Princess Peach and Bowsers Inside Story specifically). I recently upgraded to aroma and installed NooDS in hopes of playing these games and was very happy to see that Super Princess Peach actually runs (albeit slowly), and I'm sure Bowsers Inside Story can be played past the typical softlocks; however Bowsers Inside Story runs at 9 or less FPS making it unplayable.

Needless to say, I think adding frame skipping could go an incredibly long way in improving these experiences and the emulation on Wii U overall. I think it could make Super Princess Peach run just about perfectly. I've been invested in trying to get these games to run on Wii U for a long time and I'd honestly happily pay for frame skipping to be implemented at this point.
