Goldeneye & Perfect Dark - improve framerate?

[misterrocks]

Anything I can do to improve the framerate with Goldeneye or Perfect Dark? Should I use the turbo core for this and if so how best to do that?

[Retro-Nerd]

Yes, the turbo core gives you a very noticeable framerate boost. You don't need special settings. Load the games and have fun.

Sounds great! How can I get the turbo core?

It works great! Much smoother in Perfect Dark at least. Besides Goldeneye are there other games that benefit a lot?

Is there any way to have update_all download an updated turbo core if one is ever released?

Any way to add the turbo core to favorites? I think it needs to work in gamesmenu for it to work in favorites but it doesn't appear in the list of cores in gamesmenu. Is there a good thread for reporting gamesmenu issues by any chance?

I have always been amused that people buy the Mister for extreme accuracy and then seek patches, turbo cores to play eveything faster.

I could see being amused if you look at it that way. It's almost like one of those "what if" historical scenarios.

not everybody gets into the same stuff for the same reasons.

Extreme accuracy on all levels isn' t important for 3D Konsoles like the N64. It's quite a bit different to older 8bit/16bit systems which really need cycle exact timings.

I'm usually willing to accept less accuracy in return for smoother framerates and less slowdown. The latter is why the SA-1 and FastROM hacks for SNES games are so popular.
