Thanks!!!
Actually I am quite satisfied with the process now. My friends are bothering me with the same stupid question about shouldn't the emulator be perfect before it was released on web. Tired of it.
Hope there will be a better emulator soon.

That's oppostie for non-buffered mode. (60 FPS games work best with even numbers, 30 FPS games work best with odd numbers)

For me, Read Framebuffers to Memory (CPU) is actually faster than Read Framebufers to Memory (GPU) (tested with GTA VCS & LCS, Castlevania Dracula X etc) But, since I don't own Danganronpa, I don't need either of them.

That's not a surprise, since you're using an ATI card.

My statements hold true for NVIDIA cards, which are the only ones who can really benefit from the Framebuffers to Memory (GPU) option.

AMD/ATI cards have no business using the GPU option, even in Danganronpa, since the selection cursor will activate the wrong things in investigation mode if you don't use the CPU option in that game.

Thanks for the tip about Non Buffered Rendering Frameskipping behaving the opposite way to Buffered Rendering Frameskipping. Did not test that scenario out since I always have Buffered Rendering on. I've modified the guide slightly to reflect your discovery.

Updated the guide to account for v0.8.1-1159-gbc00a7e which has drastically improved frameskipping in most games. Any numbers can be set now, and it should not flicker.

Yeah, the lasted version 1061 is good, screen isn't flicker when turn on frame skip

Updated the guide to account for possible crashes relating to Stream VBO in revisions from v0.8.1-1158-g51ffdfa onwards.

Do NOT enable Stream VBO until further notice. It's never really been a significant performance booster anyway and games don't need it to function.

I found out about that Stream VBO, which is absolutely useless to all my games... Smile

Done. Removed Stream VBO from the guide since the option has been depreciated in v0.8.1-1169-g1a1f142.

Looks like the Nvidia Shield is *THE* device to get for maximum portable emulationability!

Take it to the OT thread, isamu, there's a thread for the Shield over there:-

On topic:-

Updated the guide to account for the addition of the Multithreaded option (significant performance boost) available in the latest dev builds which are unfortunately out of reach for most users who do not self-compile PPSSPP, since the Orphis build bot is broken at the moment.

The buildbot is alive and kicking again folks. Update your dev builds to the latest to enjoy the benefits of Multithreading!

Hmm,I just tried 0.8.1-1269 x86 and not a single game is working.
PPSSPP just freeze on black screen after he get the info about the game(change the ppsspp window title)

I'm using the default settings and MT is not enabled
Only the cube demo is working

Some games:
Crisis Core
Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy
Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team
Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Impact - only this one worked
Persona 3 Portable
Phantasy Star Portable 2
The 3rd Birthday
Ys 7
