I love my dingoo, best Benjamin I ever spent. 

 

I don't like beating a dead horse...but...I hate the frame skipping on the SNES games...I mean I can play the games without it, but I can't hustle Super Mario All Stars like I could when I was a kid. 

 

The NeoGeo, GBA, Genesis, and CPS play just fine on 0 frame skip, why can't the SNES?

 

Is it a hardware limitation?  Or can it be fixed with software? 

 

I have some semi-autistic code-monkies at my disposal if software is the problem, I'd love to get this fixed.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 


P.S. I own all games, consoles, movies, pictures, music and software mentioned in these forums

It's not a hardware issue, the native SNES Emulator is just not that great. Consider getting Dingux, as Snes9x runs perfectly on the Dingoo.

There's an overclocking tool that works in the native OS. i haven't used it with the SNES emu;ator so I don't know if it does the job.

 Thanks metaarc, I'll try Dingux.  Sounds like it's a significant improvement

Never the less, it would be a huge contribution to the community if you could have your code-monkeys fix the native SNES emulator, or port something like 9X to the native firmware.

 Okay I can ask my code monkey friends to help, but I need one fundamental question answered: What exactly (or your best guess) is the problem with the native SNES emulator?

 

I know the problem on mine is that the roms run slow, seemingly 2/3 normal speed (w/o frame skipping).  Would manipulating the native emulator to allow framing skipping in .1 increments help?

problems are weird frame skipping, different for every game,  and also the inability to run some awesome games such as starfox, super mario kart, megaman x2, x3, and i may have missed some others

Not to mention, doom and most games that used fx-chips in the snes games don't work. See if you can find a way to make these games playable as well pewseepopper. but reall, I think the obvious problem is that the dingoo does not match up to par or lacks in some fields to play snes flawless, without any kind of coded speedhack implemented. But as others stated, if you want to get snes working the way you want to, install dingux. The emulation through dingux is almost identical to what you can play on a hacked psp.(if you're familiar with the psp) basically anything below n64 is up for play on a dingux dingoo.

Honestly, the Dingoo has no hardware limitations when it comes to SNES. Software is the issue. Dingux is a good fix, but I would much rather use native firmware as it's just more convenient. If you could get a SNES emu to run on native firmware, you would be a hero, kind sir.
