Final Fantasy 1

[NotTheAndroid]

Just booted up PPSSPP for Android and Final Fantasy 1 wanted to update this thread to what I'm experiencing.

First off, it boots up and runs smoothly. The game itself seems to have very little problem.

The opening video runs fine but sound is almost unbearable with stutter.

Getting in game (character creation) worked no problem, got in game went into town, music was a bit fuzzy, but not bad, no lag at all. Saw the king, no lag or real bad sound issues.

It was at this point that I first walked on the worldmap and realized there's a ton of lag on the world map and the sound is horrible (related, I believe). I didn't see anyone else above mention this. It's playable, especially if you don't have the sound on very loud, but slow.

I know sound issues (especially on Android) are a known issue, but thought I'd still share them.

My main issue comes with the fact I'm not using the touchscreen to control and there is no way to map buttons, but I'm sure that's something that is in the works, so no complaints about it.

I'll post again if I run into any other problems or if future builds bring more stabilization as I play through it!

*EDIT* So I was reading that Frame Skipping can increase FPS and thought maybe the sound issue was being caused by low FPS. Sure enough I enabled it, set it to AUTO, and the sound problem on the worldmap disappeared! It also fixed the sound issue on the opening video.
One thing to add is that this did cause slightly less smooth movement/video play, but it's still an improvement over the sluggish way it felt before. I'm guessing this is more of an issue of the emulator now than anything else and can only get better over time!
