			Hey dudes! I was wondering something about the emulator. How good is it? How is the speed? How is the sound? How is it running? Is it playable? If so, I want to burn a cd with sms games on it. How much games can be on the cd...max?

Really good

	
	
		
		
			How is the speed?

It's quite fast above 100% and over.

	
	
		
		
			How is the sound?

Mono and good enough, it could be stereo with no speed loss I think.

	
	
		
		
			How is it running?



Is it playable?

Yes, I hope. Many thing have still to be improved. Faze is a major step for emulation on Saturn and on DC.

It's always good to get a nice comment

Just a question, is your saturn 50 or 60 Hz ? If it's 60 Hz can you tell me the FPS of common games. I have only tested on my PAL saturn.

eheh

there are still things to improve but for the speed i'd say work is finished.

Are there any?

Hard to say, Rockin'-B did some ports of emus but they are not yet optimized :

- SNES

- GB

- Lynx

- Neo Geo Pocket

- WonderSwan

There are also :

- Phoenix emu by Denis (he did also the first port of sms plus)

- FCE ultra by me but it's slow

You can find them in the sate dev section :

I'd say the Phoenix could run at full speed with a new CPU core. The GB emu could get also high speed improvement with a new core but it would need some more work.
