Frame Skipping ?
#1
Hi, I've been looking configurations for some revisions, newer ones and older ones and I've noticed the next:
Games are (I guess almost all) playable at a 60 FPS 100% speed.
When only GE graphics is enabled, games are 100% emulated at 30 FPS.
My question is... From what I read, it has nothing to do with Frame Skipping, right ?
Then, if that is so, can't you make an option of Frame Skipping ???
I've seen other emulators with Frame Skipping system that lets you choose:

Frames Readed: [number]
Frames Skipped: [number]

For an example:

Frames Readed: 2
Frames Skipped: 1

It would make a game that you play at 40 FPS, run at "60 FPS speed", and the difference is less smooth game, but higher speed. From 40 to 60 FPS the eye can't notice much difference, but the speed does a considerable difference.
That's the easiest way to increase speed I think, I've never developed emulators, so I don't know about it's difficulty to develop, but well, it's an idea.
