Try enabling the DWMSync setting within the emulators configuration file and then retest your games.

Ok, I just changed the regular fullscreen mode (Emulate Fullscreen option turned off ) to use the flags that should get the nvidia driver to recognize the window and skip the compositor. Try this with the regular vsync option without the DWMSync option. Use this build: https://ci.appveyor.com/proje...

After upgrading to 1.62.3-nwa this seems to be resolved.

Apparently software that declares it self to Windows 11 that it's Dynamic Refresh Rate aware, will cause the DWM to expose actual VBlank Timing information to the program instead of a fake floaty value. Unsure if this is helpful to Snes9x.

Okay I've tested this with these nvidia drivers:

456.71
461.72
461.81 hotfix

OpenGL crashes with all of them while DWM Sync is enabled, I'm not even sure why as it did used to work! The emulator displays the yellow text with the checksum etc. when loading a ROM and then it quits.

Apparently the currently available 46x drivers are pretty unstable? I've been kinda holding out for newer releases before updating my drivers.

The program freezes for 1 or 2 seconds and then silently quits with no error message. I'm... not entirely sure when the problem was first introduced as it has been a long time since I last used the emulator. Direct 3D works fine, which contributes to it taking a potentially long time to realize the ...

I'd just like to re-affirm that DWMSync continues to be a gargantuan help on my system in regards to frame pacing. Programs + DWM tend to result in terrible frame pacing on my system and since the release of Vista I've yet to figure out "why", I also get the impression no one else has this...

Chief#0025: For those wondering, it seems that Windows 10 has gamepad support for all UWP (universal windows programs), which includes most of the browsers you'd use, and the home screen, and it's that support that is intercepting the background input before it ever reaches SNES9x... It doesn't see...

If I'm using OpenGL for the display output, pressing the Turbo button (Tab) and then releasing it to return to normal speed will result in the game (Zelda: A Link to the Past) becoming very choppy. The choppiness stops if I toggle the Menu Bar on and/or off with Escape. I'd use Direct3D but seeming...

Sorry, that 2nd post was meant for a separate topic.

Not all games need the SRAM data to be kept synchronized with the rest of the system in order for the game to function correctly.

So if a player accidentally invokes a Load State, a old State, they can recover lost progress by replacing the SRAM with the backup and then restart emulation.

Yep, only thing left to do is default the DWMSync option to True (or add a GUI option for it). 1 problem with Direct3D Fullscreen: Stuff rendered in the black side bars (4:3 aspect) doesn't clear when it should. For example see the green bar in the top right corner? That's the Geforce Experience ava...

Yep, that does seem to be the best implementation for OpenGL.

Tested using this version: http://www.snes9x.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=59140#p59140 OpenGL with DWMSync enabled and Vsync enabled: Windowed = Good. Fullscreen = 50% gameplay speed.

Here's a video of OpenGL with DWMTweaks set to ENABLED: https://youtu.be/UsJs6_sDvwk (stutter begins at around 40 seconds) I think if I add an option to run DWMFlush after every frame it'll decouple the OpenGL vsync from the compositor. I'll work on this and get a test build for you to try. That's ...

It would be great if you could make https://sites.google.com/site/bearoso/ the first URL on the Downloads page. The other pages tend to lag when new releases are made (I wasn't even aware of v1.59 or v1.59.1 and only now became aware of v1.59.2 for example).

v159.2, with and without that DWM setting enabled: Direct Draw: Works perfectly and so does the audio. Direct 3D: Works perfectly and so does the audio. This is a big improvement over v1.58 and older. OpenGL however, remains busted in the Frame Pacing department. The same behaviour of frame pacing i...
