Anyway, you can disable the graphical improvements by unchecking "simulate block transfers" in settings. If this makes it faster, that's unfortunate.

Also, I guarantee that compatibility is better with 0.9.8-anything than with 0.9.6-anything. Maybe not for the few games you tried, but definitely on the larger scale.

Actually, after testing the latest build for a while, I noticed that for most games, the speed remains relatively similar to the build v0.9.8-1020-g48d4c4c.

There were a few games that I tested that turned out to be much slower so I assumed the emulator was slower, but after unchecking the simulate block trasnfers, the games that were incredibly laggy and slow is now as fast as when I tested the game on build v0.9.8-1020-g48d4c4c. It is unfortunate though because unchecking this didn't give the graphic fix. With it checked, a lot of graphic errors are fixed, but for few games it become so unbearably laggy to the point of being unplayable even with a really high frameskip.

As for compatibility, I have no doubt that in a larger scale, it's much better that anything from 0.9.6. I've mostly been testing the same games through the different builds, so I can compare each one more thoroughly.

Anyway, keep up the great work! The latest builds are much better and it's definitely the improvement it needed for snapdragon devices. Can't wait for 0.9.9 to be released now.
