So I know its stupid question, but where is Toggle Speed Option under emulators GUI? Don't see it, got the latest version and on android too.

It has been renamed to "Alternative Speed" under "Graphics Options" for quite some time now.



The keybinding for it is known as "Speed Toggle" in "Control Mapping"

Ok so can it help it go faster by keeping it off or changing it?

[globe94]

i guess no. bcoz its for fast forward. using the turbo button. alternative speed limit is the limit of turbo button speed.

Updated the guide to reflect the addition of the "Texture Coord Speedhack" option since v0.9.1-1631-g4c2c015 which provides minimal to moderate performance gains in a number of games, but might also cause graphical glitches too. User discretion is advised.

Also why can't u play ur own music (like music from ur storage), while playing the game? it was working in like the earlier builds of 0.9.1.

@dshawn

what do you mean "cant play music" what player are you using?
(Android)i tried Music default app, TTPOD and Poweramp, it works.
the problem is just,cant control it while playing ppsspp
so what i did is installed the app called "Floating Music Control" and its all good.
i suggest u try it too, its cool.

Updated the guide to to reflect the change of the FXAA Antialiasing option to just one option in a generic "Postprocessing Shaders" dropdown list under Graphics Options. The recommendation is still to disable it if you're hurting for performance.

Friends my PC don't have graphic card still. it is in the service center for repairing.. Ppsspp is not opening. It is showing some error related to openGL not found...what should I do???

Without a GPU with OpenGL 2.0 support you cannot play, that's just the way it is currently.

Thanks for the guide; however I'm having problems on my Nexus 4.

God of War and Dissidia Final Fantasy runs abysmal on my phone at like 3fps. Seeing the official topics seems like it should run well. tried all sorts of settings from the defaults to your guide.

Is it a known problem for the Nexus 4?

To incress about some fps run PPSSPP i high priority - disable theme effects and service theme - do windows optimisation

[Butcher696]

U can add to tutorial that if u disable sound u have some speed up ,but if u disable sound in game u get another speed some .
tested and give some fps

Expect low performance on ANY mobile device for God of War. Performance of that game has actually decreased over the last few hundred revisions or so, thanks to the increase in emulation accuracy for that specific game. (additonal graphical effects are being correctly rendered etc.) Even lower end PCs like my test rig struggle in that game and require some tricks to get to run semi decently.

My advice to you is to have both the "Prevent FPS from exceeding 60" option and the "Change CPU Clock" option enabled; the latter should be set to as low as 60 - 80 MHz for maximum gains. If performance is still horrendous, I'm afraid that's as far it goes for your device, at least with the current state of the emulator/device drivers.

Dissidia on the other hand should run a lot better. I'm puzzled as to why it runs horribly on your device. Try changing Rendering Mode to Non Buffered Rendering for that game.
