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.
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.
