I noticed is that the sound seems to be significantly lagged when using 10% speed in the patched version.
This is very likely a rounding error. It might be fixable, if it's enough of a problem.

Can you think of any side effects caused by your code?
I modified the computations used by Famtasia to calculate timing. The functionality between versions *should* be exactly the same. (I hope!)

Thank you very much blip - this really seems to work!
My pleasure. :) I really wish I could fix the CPU spike at the beginning... Is anyone else having this problem?

Sure. Doing it this way might be a tad error-prone though. First, make a copy of your current FAMTASIA.EXE (version 5.1, size 393,216). Then open it up in your favorite hex editor. (a free one can be found here) Set bytes at offset $196ff to e6 06 00 00 f7 ea eb 15 Set bytes at offset $28042 to e6 06 00 00 f7 ea eb 15 Set the byte at offset $28087 to 01 Set bytes at offset $28097 to 01 b8 e6 06 00 00 Set bytes at offset $280ac to eb 03 90 Set bytes at offset $280b9 to eb 0e 90 Set the byte at offset $28113 to 01 Good luck!

This weeked I played around with Famtasia in the debugger a bit, and managed to hack it into running at 60fps. The good news is that the current batch of .fmvs seems to play back just fine at 60. The bad news is that it causes the cpu to max out when it first starts but it eventually sorts itself out. Also, this fix is Windows-only at the moment. I would be much obliged if someone could provide hosting for the patched file. I'm sure there are others who would like to try using it. [EDIT by Bisqwit: not an announcement anymore]

I've been meaning to make a suggestion: why not let people browse submitted .fmv files before they're approved for publishing on the front page? It shouldn't have to be too much work, just an open dir of .fmv files. It might be a good way for people to swap videos of tricks and strategies, like mfried's improved world 1 attack.
