001a is the one that causes slowdown. How does it run for you?
by unknownfile at 5:05 PM EST on January 17, 2008
Yes, there is a memory leak somewhere. I think it's in the emulator core, but then again I don't know anything.

Here's the new version. There is a small performance boost at the end of the play thread (sleep for 10 ms), and the 8% CPU I was having before is floating between 1-2%. That isn't to say that the slowdown problems in NSMB are fixed, but stuff is running better now.

I also added Knurek's suggested XMplay-friendly code in, and suffice to say that it doesn't really work all that much. Ah well.

Well... I hate to rain on your parade, but now all tracks that I try to play (including nsmb-001a) are jittery. In fact, nsmb-001a is worse than the previous build.

I'll tell ya what: get onto IRC and we'll discuss things about performance.

I have many other game music plugins for winamp. Can you see if the 2sf's can still play when winamp has these other plugins installed?

Edit: Never mind. They are not the problem.

BTW, the plugin is fine in Vista. It's that after finally getting a file to play, if I try to do something like play another file or press pause or stop, Winamp gets an error.

I'm not quite sure what your problem is, Tanookirby. Try uninstalling some plugins and see if it works then.

well, this plugin version doesn't crash for me.
but I'm also getting the jittering problem.

affirmative. jitteryness has escalated and there isn't a significant CPU reduction. :(
by holyice7 at 11:12 AM EST on January 18, 2008
Well, the plugin works fairly well for me. Jitteryness is about the same, but playing the Phoenix Wright stuff only takes about 20% of my CPU now, compared to about 70% before. Though, it still crashes when I hit Stop or try to close the program.

New SMB doesn't fare any better than before, though.

EDIT: Using Vista 32 bit, by the way (if it matters).

The jitter is not present at home. Configuration options will be added to allow people to screw around with the emulator settings.

And also, I'm trying to compile the plugin with Dev-C++ and suffice to say that it's a terrible IDE. It really, really, really, really, really sucks.

I still have yet to figure out that memory leak though... Everything seems to be freed up from RAM when the emulator is destroyed according to what I see going on in the background.

Library revisions, new sets, and possibly a fb2k port will be made on the weekend since I don't have any studying to do.

First set of the weekend. Somewhat shitty music, but there are some good tracks in there.

Densetsu no Stafy 4

I also have the following on the request list. Bolded ones are additions of my own.
-Wario: Master of Disguise
-Megaman ZX Advent
-Final Fantasy IV DS
-Kirby Squeak Squad
-Super Princess Peach (if I can figure out the driver)
