Regression in latest builds of the emulator: Huge speed loss in some games

[sergio_zar]

Hi there,

I have just appreciated a huge speed loss regression in some games which previously worked flawlessly in my desktop computer.

I don't know which is the exact version of the emulator when this started to happen or what games are affected for it. Some games work as well as previously, but some other games work much worse now.

At least, the performance of titles like "OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast", "Wipeout Pure", "Wipeout Pulse" and "Riviera: The Promised Land" is now crappy to say the least.

With ppsspp-v0.9.7.2-116, these games worked flawlessly (well, not OutRun, but I am talking specfically in terms of speed) at 100% speed/framerate. But something bad must have happened between that version and, at least, ppsspp-v0.9.7.2-203. Now those games, with the same exact settings, work very bad with huge slowdowns (Riviera) or performance at half the speed than previously. I don't know when this started, or it if affects everybody, but I thought I had to warn you about it. It is not something related to that specific version, I have tried it in the last build available (ppsspp-v0.9.7.2-223) and the result is the same (bad performance in, at least, those games which in previous versions -at least since before v0.9.7.2-116- worked with 100% speed).
