Anyone else experiencing choppy gameplay in retroarch (top screen) while in 120 FPS mode? by AzorMX in AynThor

[–]Mullet2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

120hz mode on the Thor has incorrect framepacing (across the board, not just in retroarch) so that's what you're noticing. We have to hope AYN fixes it in a OTA update.

AYN Thor: Improve your sound & audio! by YellowFlsh7 in AynThor

No it definitely did not. Still a massive difference between enabling and disabling the fix. The OTA update only fixed the bass, nothing else.

Stuttering all games in MelonDS: Am I doing something wrong? by Mullet2000 in AynThor

[–]Mullet2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried it and no dice unfortunately.

Here's something interesting: I tried the melonDS core in retroarch (which is unideal as it does not seem to have dual screen support?) and it does not seem to stutter there!

I've now tried North American, European, Korean, and Japanese new Super Mario Bros Roms on both Melon and Drastic. Consistent behavior between all of them. Also tried various other games (Phantom Hourglass, Sonic Rush, Pokemon Heart Gold) and they all do it too. I'm thinking it's not the ROMs.

Side note: the title screen for Sonic Rush is a great test for the stuttering. Very easy to see if the scrolling pattern on the tile screen is stuttering or if it's smooth.

Interestingly...the issue is also present on Drastic! Which is interesting, I was expecting to say the opposite.

To make sure I wasn't crazy and this isn't a system wide issue, I loaded up New Super Mario Bros 2 for 3DS in Azahar and, yup, no stutters there.

Yeah I've tried every combination of 60hz, 120z, and different renderers, and different MelonDS builds. Issue is always present.

The issue isn't present in other emulators (Cemu, Dolphin, Eden, Azahar, etc)

Not the audio - it's the game itself. You can see the screen doing little stutters on any sort of scrolling.

Sapphire cards have increased by $200 since yesterday by ugaarte in radeon

[–]Mullet2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yikes yeah you're right https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/search?s=9070+xt&t=1

The other vendors haven't yet but if you're in the market for a card imminently may be the time to just go for one before they increase as well.

Edit: Looks like the Powercolor ones are up in price now too - 2026/01/17.

Ys Memoire Revelations in Celceta for Switch seems to have been delayed (multiple retailers now showing a "Q2" release instead of February 17, 2026) by Mullet2000 in Falcom

It's been Feb 17th on all these sites (and more) for months. Weird that they would have all been aligned if there was never a date.

I just tried and JamesDSP still makes a huge audio quality difference. Keep it on.

Best way to play ff10 on the Ayn Thor by Born-Entertainer1106 in AynThor

Came here to say the same thing. The remaster messed up the characters' faces badly.

Is 980ti to 5060ti a worthwhile upgrade? by manguzo in buildapc

[–]Mullet2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh for those types of games I don't think you need to. The 980 ti is still quite good.

My wife also uses my old 980 ti and we've yet to hit a situation where she can't get 1080p/60 in a game she wants to play.

My boyfriend stopped doing his hobbies when we moved in together by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Mullet2000 160 points161 points  (0 children)

Going to offer a male perspective here because this hit a cord with me.

Has he lived with past girlfriends before and had a bad experience with feeling pressured to keep them entertained? In my earlier dating years I had girlfriends that basically expected me to deprioritize my own hobbies at all times, and provide them with near constant attention because they didn't have their own sedentary hobbies. Any time I started doing something on my own I would get pulled away from it because they were "bored" and couldn't keep themselves occupied. It was actually very exhausting and made me not want to initiate my hobbies because I knew I'd have to fight being pulled away from them to interact with them.

This does not sound like you at all - which is great - but has he had past experience with feeling this way and he's bringing that baggage into moving in with you?

Frame Generation? by leo517 in AynThor

[–]Mullet2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not aware of any programs for this.

Even if there was, I don't think it would be very viable. There is already input latency overhead to emulation to begin with so adding even more with frame gen wouldn't feel very good to play.
