Choosing an FPS to play at?
I want to play games at a faster FPS than 60.

When I choose the "Turbo mode" the FPS is 400+
No matter what throttle I pick it is 400+ whether or not turbo is activated.

I'd like to play at around 180FPS is there any way to play faster than 60fps but slower than max speed?

I am using VBA-M 1.8.0 SVN

I looked around but couldn't find any good place to read about how to alter play speeds to I tried playing around with the settings I knew Turbo mode, throttle & Frame skipping but everything game me 60fpa or 400-700fps.

It's be nice if there was a way to put in a target a fps for the game to run in.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Whether I choose 25% or 200% the results seem the same.

RE: Choosing an FPS to play at?
As i remember i've fix the throttle, autoframeskip and audiosync issue (with throttle) on my VBA-M1030c build, have you try it?

The "Show speed>Detail" may shows you 60 FPS but it's actually running at a faster/slower FPS when throttled (based on how fast/slow the picture is, even without frameskipping), you may also want to disable vsync if you want the "actual" FPS higher than your monitor refresh rate.

my Auto-frameskipping might not be perfect yet but at least it works better than the original autoframeskipping (skips smoother)

Btw, when using throttle in VBA-M1030c also enable audiosync and don't use DirectSound8(DirectSound8 doesn't support throttle) so the sounds will be interpolated based on the throttle (sounds better)
