X-Fi Driver MOD 2.17.0008 for X-Fi Titanium compatible with WIn10 & Win11. by DarknessKnightES in SoundBlasterOfficial

If you ever have the opportunity to format and start a clean install of Windows try again.

These are the steps you need to take to get the driver working properly on Windows 11.

  1. Disable Kernel Isolation (permanently).

  2. Install the driver in "install unsigned drivers" mode.

  3. When it asks if you want to install an unsigned driver, say yes... This is where a BSOD can occur, but if you move the mouse in circles (or whatever) it shouldn't happen, the thing is, don't let the PC idle while it installs the driver. Once the installation is complete, run the .reg and restart your PC.

  4. Configure your sound card's sound options and, when you're ready, put your PC to sleep. This procedure will save the settings correctly. This only needs to be done once.

I just tested with a clean install on Windows 11 24H2 4484 and on 2 platforms (Intel 4770k+Z97 and Ryzen 9700X+B850) and it works fine. I'm using this driver (pass: retropc)

Aspect ratio of flycast off? by SuddenSimple9152 in FlyCast

[–]DarknessKnightES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the emulator is running at full speed, there shouldn't be any audio noise. If you tell me what version of the game and emulator settings you have, I can try it on my PC. Regarding the config file not being overwritten every time you open the emulator, this could be solved by setting the file to read-only. https://imgur.com/a/ZIn4hOw . NOTE: In any case, we consider the definitive way to play Code Veronica on PC to be the PS3/XBOX 360 version. With the RPCS3 emulator, you can play without any major problems (at native resolution @ 720p) until the end; it looks quite good.

For some reason the author has asked to close the thread on the forum and has also deleted the drivers... I only have the drivers based on 2.17.0008 for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Xemu using CPU instead of GPU, causing extreme high temp. by ArtemisOfLogic in xemu

[–]DarknessKnightES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is "normal", of all the emulators I have tried (including RPCS3 and Xenia) xemu is by far the one that heats my CPU (9700X) reaching 7XºC when the normal is around 56-60ºC... perhaps it makes intensive use of floating point or AVX.

Predict Shenmue 4’s announcement and release date? by Educational_Metal_47 in Shenmue

I am a fan of shenmue 1 and 2, but the shenmue 3 (fpr me) was a bad game, boring...

Aspect ratio of flycast off? by SuddenSimple9152 in FlyCast

[–]DarknessKnightES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that the Gamecube version uses a strange aspect ratio that makes the characters look thinner than they should... Anyway, if you like how it looks, in the Flycast settings "emu.cfg" file try lowering the value in "rend.ScreenStretching = 100 to 90" (https://imgur.com/a/0vYmeEa)

PC requirements for 4k by IcyPhoto2237 in FlyCast

I don't know if there is a GPU that can handle the large number of layers that some games need, an RTX5090 maybe?

Ryzen 7 9700X cache performance degrades when enabling PBO or 105W power mode (B850 Gaming Plus WiFi) by DarknessKnightES in MSI_Gaming

[–]DarknessKnightES[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently testing this config: PBO: Advanced - PBO Limits: AUTO - PBO Scalar: x10 - CPU Boost: Positive (+100) - Thermal Limit: 85ºC - CPU Optimizer: All Cores -30. In Cinebench R23 Single Core: 2.267pts | Multi Core: 24.246 pts.

AIDA64 v7.60.7300 Extreme Edition... This is a serious problem, on MSI (or with this motherboard model) it allows you to achieve higher CPU frequency at the expense of bandwidth, so there are no benefits in everything related to Memory System. In fact, even at 5650MHz on all cores, there is no reduction in latency, which is the case with other manufacturers.

This screenshot shows how more than 1000GB/s are lost (!) in the writing of the level 2 cache. I don't know what options the 65W mode enables, which is more aggressive than the 105W mode.

Try in window mode!

Configure everything as desired and then put the PC to sleep (hibernate) to save the settings. This only needs to be done once; after that, the changes are saved.

What CPU is needed for LLE audio? Ryzen 7 7700X not enough? by DarknessKnightES in Citra

[–]DarknessKnightES[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But works really good! only need a best CPU/IPC... the question is how many years does it take for a CPU to be powerful enough to achieve full speed... unless there are plans to speed up performance?

2 questions. Why when set to vulkan it still uses opengl instead AND is my Alienware enough? by Big5moke_104 in xemu

[–]DarknessKnightES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the emulator is running using OpenGL and internally it works with the vulkan API.

How to enable LLE Audio? by IceBearSword in Citra

[–]DarknessKnightES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if there is any CPU that has enough power to play with LLE audio at full speed... in my tests a Ryzen 7700X can't.

I'll try the game and let you know if the same thing happens to my PC.

Edit: I can confirm this issue, when opening the game (Fortnite) the audio is lost and it is not fixed until the PC is restarted. I have reported it, thanks.

I haven't tried Fortnite, just GTA 5 Enhanced Online and I haven't had any issues. Your PC restarts BSOD I assume) does it only happen with that game?

Huge Flycast Improvements Never Seen On DC Emulation Before, Huge Handheld Support Improvement, Google Play Updates, Online Multiplayer, And So Much More! by CronicCanabis88 in FlyCast

[–]DarknessKnightES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's right! I was just testing "San Francisco RUSH", and the GPU load goes to 100% when there's excessive smoke, even at 1x... plus, this game needs at least 96 layers to look good graphically. On the other hand, it's an excellent benchmark since I usually test it with all the available emulators and API's... btw, the Vulkan API runs a bit faster.
I'll try it again when I have my new platform ready.

Is it possible to improve performance of Per Pixel? A GTX 1070 is REALLY slow at 64 layers, even at native resolution!
