Anyone still hacking FCEU code? To me it looks like FCEU, unlike all other sane emulators, actually tries to just draw all the frames faster instead of using frame skip. For me the speed difference between 800% and 200% is basically zero, except that the sound gets a lot more choppy and echoes. Is there frame skip somewhere there? Haven't seen it in the Hotkeys menue at least. There is a mysterious Turbo button but it appears to do nothing. Adding frame skip would be as easy as a counter for only drawing every n:th frame.

I noticed this too. I can get up to 400% and it seems legitly 4 times faster, but 800% is just as fast as 400, but with crappier sound. Must just depend on the individual hardware. So if someone decides to implement this idea, maybe they can also throw in an input display hot key. (Forum: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2650)

1. Config -> Timing.. : ■ Disable speed throttling used when sound is disabled. (checked) 2. Config -> Sound.. : □ Sound enabled. (unchecked) This is only way I can get the maximum speed.
