3DSCapture request support locked 50hz output for Virtual Boy (homebrew)
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2024 6:23 pm
Hello, it's been a while.
As the 3DS's official Nintendo Network servers are down, there was little to no reason to keep my 2012 capture card 3DS in stock so I hacked it and I got to install a very cool Virtual Boy emulator known as Red Viper.
Today Red Viper has a 0.93 revision which plays back Virtual Boy games at the proper refresh rate 50hz.
I did a recording to test out and while the fps counter was going around high 49/low 50 fps. The output was still set to 60hz which means that there will be a freeze frame every after 6 frames.
So for example, frames: 1201 - 1207 - 1213 - 1219 - 1225 - 1231 - 1237 - 1243 - 1249 - 1255 - 1261 were duplicates from the previous frame.
Is it possible for an update to include lock 50fps on the fps slider limiter as Red Viper seems to be a very good emulator for the system to experience 3D without the infamous red palette strain.
Edit: Currently there is at least 1 workaround.
Use FRAPS to record the game instead as it supports 50hz output and checking back the recorded video frame by frame, it doesn't have the duplicate frame problem.
