I'm running Bizhawk on wine. I had 3 issues. The first was that the sound was crackling. This was solved by switching from directsound to openal. The second was that the xfce panel, which I have set to resemble the windows start menu, is still visible in fullscreen mode. Not much of a problem, as I can ignore it easily. The third problem, however, is the one I want to talk about. For some reason the emulator refuses to go above 100% speed. Slowing down works, and rewind works, but I can't go turbo or whatever. Do you have any suggestions? The game I am running is an NES game using the quicknes core.
1. did you turn on vsync and try setting the speed to 200% currently a bug makes that scenario not work.
2. are you using the opengl display method? your video driver may forcibly enable vsync. change to gdi+ display method
3. maybe youre just barely able to get 100% performance and fast forwarding cant possibly help
with untouched options, the tab key should be fastforwarding.
I'm sorry for not answering your questions. It was late at night.
vsync was off. When I put it on, things went on just like you said.
Switching to gdi+ from opengl causes extreme lag.
We can't rule out your system forcibly enable vsyncing. gdi+ may run slow because wine emulation is sometimes just slow. try some other opengl stuff in wine and see if you can get them to run without vsync

I'm back again, and here are a few bugs I've reported for some more games.
GAME BOY/COLOR
Captain Knick-Knack (unlicensed): Boots up to a black white screen.
Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The moment this game is loaded, the emulator crashes.
Spiritual Warfare: Same as Captain Knick-Knack.
The Holy Bible: New International Version (unlicensed): Sure, there are graphics of the text, but they just didn't get loaded properly: GENESIS
Might & Magic: Gates to Another World: I have nothing to say about this screenshot when I went to delete a character: NES
Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure: This game doesn't even load--it just loads up a black screen.
Final Fantasy: The screen transitions look different, and the battles are considerably slower than normal.
Gauntlet: I've only tested this in 1.7.4, and rewinding seems to cause BizHawk to crash.
Rocman X (unlicensed): When you take damage, the emulator crashes.
:shrug:

I ran lsnes in order to watch an lsmv and had the same can't speed up problem. Maybe there is an issue with vsync.
lsnes may be slow for other reasons. Not a great test, but youre probably right. Try running a blazing fast emulator. Maybe the windows build of mednafen using the PCE or NES cores, since mednafen uses opengl.
and unpausing emulation, crashes BizHawk with the following error:
If x() is merely called outside of a registered function, instead the error would appear in the Lua console, like this:
LuaInterface.LuaScriptException: [string "main"]:2: attempt to index global 'y' (a nil value)
If a runtime error (LuaScriptException) occurs in a registered function, BizHawk crashes.
Is this only with the N64 core? This might be related to issue 244 that I submitted. If not, the problem is more general than I thought and I'll update my issue report.
Oh, I missed that one. Oh well.
I'm guessing there are two problems discussed here in regards to issue 244.
The oninputpoll freeze problem is limited to N64 (although it seems to be called an awful lot on other systems). onframeend doesn't seem to have this problem, but I haven't tested much.
The error in registered function crashing BizHawk is definitely the same as the issue I reported. It appears to occur no matter which core is loaded.
Both of these problems remain in BizHawk 1.9.3.
By the way, I didn't know that N64Hawk supports only one controller. I expected it to support four controllers, and I think it did in the past.

It does. N64 -> Controller Config. It used to be that 4 controllers were plugged in by default, now it is just 1, but you've always had the option to configure it
For the record, I did finally get the current BizHawk working in my non-OpenGL2 environment. Yes, it was a Stupid User Error on my part; I finally went to the TASVideos BizHawk page and noticed that link to the premade config.ini file.
I can finally run .bk2's, yay. (Or in the case of SNES movies, I can finally walk .bk2's. My old Core 2 Duo keeps giving me that Danny Glover From Lethal Weapon line.)

It wasn't your fault. The link only appeared yesterday.
There are also some alternate ways of getting it to work, and there is in fact a command line option for it. Details are on the other thread.
N64hawk: When using the video plugin GlideMk2, if you pick a resolution of 1920x1440 or higher, a windows error message saying Emuhawk has stopped working comes up. It's been doing this ever since I can remember (at least 1.5.1). I thought it was my screen resolution at first (being 1920x1080 at the time) but now that it's double that the error persists.

Hello
I was writing some lua scripts and I got a problem with button in foms.
When the click event function called by the button conaints a call to emu.frameadvance() this cause an exception. The message says: " A .NET exception occured in user-code" (at the line where emu.frameadvance call is).
here's lua code to easly reproduce:
local function foo()
console.log("Before call");
emu.frameadvance();
console.log("After call");
end
local form = forms.newform(200, 200, "Test");
forms.button(form, "Click Me!", foo, 50, 15, 75, 25);
I use 1.9.3 release, don't know if the bug exists in other releases. Good luck! :)
emu.frameadvance is special and can only be run from the lua main loop. basically "emu.frameadvance" is equivalent to "exit lua and run for a frame and then return to lua". This is nonsense from the context of a button event, and consequently it got coded in such a way that when you tried it, it just crashed.
Don't expect this basic execution model to change any time soon, so don't expect this to work any time soon.
You should work around this by using emu.yield or emu.emuyield or some such in a loop so that your lua script doesnt exit. then when the button is pressed, set a flag. pick that flag up in the main loop in your lua script.
In addition to my post a few days ago, I also have occasionally got this error instead of the program crashing and giving a windows crash report. Once again, only on either of the Glide plugins at 1920x1440 or higher. Rice works on higher resolutions and both Glides are fine on lower resolutions.
Sorry to keep on about an issue I know you're aware of, I'm only posting again because I figured more info may be helpful.

i am having the same problem, even custom resolution doesnt help, cant get it over 1600x1200 on glides
also star wars episode 1 racer intro has incorrect sound / no sound
