Higan/BSNES Stuttering

[seznam88]

Hi people, I have a problem with the Higan/BSNES emulator.
The game is working at stable 60 FPS but when playing, the screen stutters, no the game itself only the screen.
The screen it´s like this - Smooth......Stutters.......Smooth.......Stutters,. ..
But when the screen stutters the game is still at 60 FPS and it´s working good without any lags or crackling audio.
This happening for me also with ePSXe using Pete´s OpenGL2 plugin 2.9 (With other plugins is good).
Why is this happening ?
Can you help me please ?
Thank you very much for help in advance

Have you tried changing some settings in your graphic card driver setting? (Nvidia control panel, AMD Catalyst etc.) I can't really think of any reason your game would stutter if it's showing 60FPS but I'm guessing it's not an issue related to the emulator itself.

[seznam88]

I doesn´t tried to change settings in graphic card driver settings yet, because I don´t know which ones or which ones can help me.
I guess that it´s not an issue related to the emulator itself as well because it´s happening for me with ePSXe emulator using Pete´s OpenGL 2.9 plugin too, with the edgbla´s gpuBladeSoft 1.42 it´s fine.

Well I'm not sure myself if it was me I would change some settings and see if it had any effect, and then try to find the source of the problem. You can also try other emulators or even other OS like linux to get things working. Linux can be run without having to be installed on your PC.

There are plenty of SNES emulators BSNES though is one of those that has the more accurate emulation thing going on but that is not to say the games are any more playable or show anything differently it just means that no speed up tricks are used to optimize anything, so it's not say it's a better emulator or anything like that, though saying that there may be the odd game that plays in that, that may not in other emulators but the same can be said the other way round also

This is something that confuses a lot of users

Take MAME for example that can play tons of games as is a more accurate emulator than most other Arcade emulators, but some of the games supported by MAME are much more playable by some of the other emulators even though they are based on same source code as MAME itself and play the same games much smoother and have a more accurate look to them due to certain hacks ect to fix issues so although MAME is more accurate in emulating the original hardware the tweaks and hacks other emulators use improve on what MAME can do/could do at the time

So I tried to change some settings in graphic card driver settings, and it doesn´t help.
But I also found out that if I enable Synchronize Video in the emulator, the stuttering is gone but the emulator starts to fall to the 57 FPS, lag and have crackling audio.

You might want to mention your system specs

For lag to happen it may just be a system thing, this is a highend emulator I know it is only of the SNES but it is not optimized like other SNES emulators are with it's aim to be an accurate emulation without using any sort of hacks ect to get full speed

[seznam88]

My system specs -
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
CPU - Intel Xeon Quad Core E5450 - 3.00 GHz
RAM - 4GB
GPU - NVIDIA Geforce GT 630 - 4GB

Now I don't even understand why any issues would happen with OpenGL2 you shouldn't have any issues at all using it, sounds like something may be wrong with your system

I presume you have the latest drivers ect for your graphics card ect.. from the official sites that is is for the card

[gezegond]

After all I suggest using different emulators. You could find the source of the problem if you spend enough time eventually, but it probably wont be worth it when you can just switch to a different emulator...

[seznam88]

I solved the OpenGL2 with changing some settings in my graphic card settings but when I tried that same settings for Higan, it doesn´t help.
I have the latest drivers for my graphic card.
I don´t want to switch to the another emulator because Higan is the most accurate SNES emulator and I love the accurate emulation and also in different emulators there´s not a shadow below the aircraft in A.S.P. Air Strike Patrol and also a lot of different games on different emulators doing problems and Higan is the only one that can play all of the official released games without issues.
Also I don´t like the ZSNES because it doesn´t have the slowdowns when there´s lot of happening on the screen and these kind of stuff, which is happening on the original SNES.
And also sorry for the late reply

[Zorlon]

Lol you realy are hopeless

Just buy a snes a flash kit and a crt tv, then love the perfect reproduction slowdowns and other hickups the console had

Do not for one second think this emulator will play everything as it did on a real snes, it does not, not bad but not perfect either

[gezegond]

Since you have solved the problem for opengl that means the issue with bsnes was not related to this one. I suggest you try to change some settings in bsnes now as the problem with bsnes now seems to be isolated to bsnes. I'm sorry that I can't help you in specifics I personally dont use bsnes.

[Cosmic]

Maybe try some of the older versions of BSNES from before they changed the name to Higan. They're still very accurate but they run better on older/less powerful systems.

Failing that just get SNES9X.

No idea if this will help but here ya go,

its great to check emucr every now and then to see what new emulators/forks are out.
