Is there a way to play with a frameskipping value between 0 and 1?

Sometimes I need Frameskipping but value 1 is too much

No, you either draw a frame or skip number of frames, you can't skip less than a single frame.
At most you could skip a frame only every few frames being drawn, but that's not implemented in PPSSPP and also doesn't really have much sense to implement because while it might show higher fps at counter it looks horrible to human eye in practice, it results in an awful stutter and looks/feels worse than a smooth, yet lower framerate.

It's already where (in stupid way):
FrameSkipping=1
AutoFrameSkip - enable

And why so hard to make an option to draw 10 frames, then skip 1?
Some game's doesn't constantly updating whole screen - so it's more about making game running at full speed without choppy/crackling audio.

Auto frameskip doesn't do the same thing as the OP would like. It still drops full frame when full speed can't be maintained, the counter shows average which might be confusing if it kicks in for just a short time, but it's still full frames being skipped.

You don't understand, it's not hard to make option, as explained drawing more then skipping less is NOT smooth even if it shows higher fps at the fps counter. Considering people want more fps to smooth things out, this is counter productive and useless, more ui clutter for no benefit.

Also don't quote full post when replying right under it, that's dumb and annoying, makes the forums harder to read, in fact I'm tired to see your posts and going to hide them.

"Full frames" did OP asked skipping half frames?

Pal, read about PAL or NTSC. How 24fps morphed to 50-60 fps. In NTSC about 3-4 frames are skipped per second. And people are zombied by TV for decades now.

It's not me - it's forum engine.

I don't wright that much.
BTW can we hide posts with zero answers?

Apparently so. If he isn't skipping "1" frame, then he's skipping either 0.1 or 0.9 which is practically impossible. You HAVE to skip a full frame. It makes absolutely no sense otherwise.

LunaMoo is provided an explanation on how it works, which if read properly, anyone can find out that the answer is no. So please, don't be aggressive to other users.

Actually I was thinking of it, and I think skipping part of frame is possible - disable vertical sync. (can't be done at android there vSync always enabled).

And if you read what I have wrote - "draw 5 frames, skip 1". Number of frames skipped will be lower then 1 that way.

If you talking what it will be sluggish - NTSC- have 24 frames, which morphed to 48 half-frames, which then morphed to 60Hz refresh rate.
How many frames there duplicated = skipped?

Can you quote agressive text?

It would totally be possible to have fractional frameskip, it would just result in sequences like "skip draw skip skip draw skip draw skip skip draw" which at least I consider much more annoying than a straight 30fps...
