Pulse running on emulator video

[amplificated]

Hey, with how well the game emulates now, I thought I'd make a video to give people an idea of how it can look. The emulator is PPSSPP, and I'm playing with a PS3 sixaxis controller. I'm quite curious to see how the PSP Pulse gurus react (not to the gameplay though lol, that's very bad and I'm just showing the emulation off a bit ).

Keep in mind that while I was trying to record in high enough quality without getting frame loss, there is still a bit happening as I just wasn't happy with the video quality in anything lower. However, it's very minor, and it doesn't exist at all while I'm not recording on my PC.

What emulator is that? I've got a PSP Emulator that runs Pure and Pulse fairly well (~45 fps). Is there a better one out there?

Pretty sure there are only a couple of PSP emulators, and this one is from understanding by far the best. I'm surprised you're only getting 45fps, assuming this is the emulator you're using. Don't get me wrong, the emulator isn't that polished yet in terms of speed, but still - I have a now-old i3 machine with an extremely basic gfx card that pulls 60fps the majority of the time.

PPSSPP does work well if you play with the settings a little. That helped me maximize my game performance so now Pure and Pulse run at 60 fps and 1080p. It didn't start out that way, but like I said, try changing the settings, it might help.

45 fps is the slowest speed it usually runs at. For some reason, the sound doesn't work right. There is a ton of lag (sounds choppy) at the current settings, and the music doesn't work at all. It seems to slow down to a crawl when there are multiple weapons being fired.

This has stumped me because I have a pretty fast laptop (4gb ram, non factory video card <128 mb>, windows 7, etc...) What settings are you using to get 60 fps, and is it a constant 60 or does it fluctuate?

I may have some out of date drivers, but I can't think of anything else. The CPU runs pretty cold, so I know PPSSPP isn't overtaxing the system.

>4gb ram, non factory video card <128 mb>

That doesn't mean anything. Run Speccy, take a screenshot of it and upload it (paste) to imgur.

Emulation is very taxing on the CPU, and depending on the game still difficult to achieve. I have an i5 3570K at 4.4GHz and can't emulate WipEout Fusion correctly. Depending on graphics settings, it can also be very taxing on the video card due to MSAA levels.

PS: 128MB is a paltry amount of video RAM nowadays. Laptops today, if not integrated, ship with 1GB minimum if not 2GB.

Can't use a PSP for toffee messes with my carpal tunnel, I've been waiting to play Pulse/Pure with a Pad for a while now. Might give this a try
