Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

IIRC, PPSSPP does that depend on FPS and frameskip settings based on the normal FPS. If you can, try running the game without frameskip. If you need to use frameskip, switch between an odd or even setting for frameskipping.

I tried this, and although it tones down the flickering, it's still there. Thanks though.

thank you!

The game flickers for me on the PC as well. It's especially horrible in the first person dungeons.

Has anyone else had serious graphic and sound lag while in the hallways in persona? if they have; how did you fix?

I am having those same problems right now, plus rapid flickering. I was able to solve the flickering by changing my rendering mode from non-buffered rendering to buffered rendering. I somewhat solved the graphic and sound lag by changing frameskipping to 2, but it still feels a little laggy for me in the hallways. This is my first Persona game, so I don't know if this is normal.

Edit: I just tried this game in PPSSPP using my laptop, and I had no problems at all in the hallway, trying to figure out a solution.

Edit 2: As far as I know, it could be just a hardware issue. There's some slight sound lag in the isometric parts of the game, and more sound lag and graphic lag in the hallway parts. It's strange that this is happening, considering my phone plays MHFU flawlessly.

Ummm, I have a lot of lag in the dungeons (when I'm in 1P) and drop frames (I think).

I'm playing in PC, this is problem of my PC or it's from the emulator?

I have played other games like FFVII Crisis Core, or Dissidia, and had absolutely no lag/problems.

Maybe Persona just poorly optimizes computer resources or something. I know nothing of computer science, so I pretty much pulled that out of thin air. It could be more your PC's fault, rather than the emulator, but a game like Persona doesn't seem like it should be so intensive. What are your PC's specs?

Just finished Persona 3 (emulated flawlessly on a galaxy note 2) and I'd really like to move on to the first one.

Problem is that audio crackles a lot and the frame rate goes down when I'm going around in first person.

It is playable but it would be a lot better without all these problems.

I managed to fix some of them by disabling buffered rendering and activating frameskip, but still...

Is there any known way to make it work better?

Just to make sure, are you using the latest git build? I think we've improved some things for this game but it's still not super fast. Also, 1x PSP render resolution may help.

I'm using the 0.9.8 android version I got from the play store.

Tried manually installing the .apk for the latest automated build (v0.9.8-1546-g4cb8c41) but it says it's already installed.

[TheDax]

You'll have to uninstall the Play Store version before trying to install a git build. They use different signatures.

[Heclegar]

Done. Installed latest version and it really seems to work a little bit better with the right adjustments. It still isnt perfect but it works a lot better.

Thanks a lot!

On version 0.9.9 there seems to be a huge slowdown compared to revision 1408 of 0.9.8 I played it on earlier.

Where does the slowdown occur? Does it still occur with "Disable slower effects" enabled and "Simulate Block Transfers" disabled?

I'm not seeing it on my end, the game pushes out over 413 VPS/60 FPS on my system when unthrottled in a classroom scene, the same as it always did.
