Hi,
Even run in X or outside X, the cursor still appear.
Another oddie discovered:
If you run the game with sound, and while running the game, suspend the Z. When resume, the game continues to run without sound.
Besides, I have done a few tests on my c860 on framerate obtained:
Game tested by sf8047 (DragonBallZ RPG) - I just love this game. hehe
Run within X:
A1. Fullscreen with sound: 8-15 fps
(cmd line: snes9x -hi -x2 -xs 640 -ys 480 <rom>)
A2. Fullscreen without sound: 10-18 fps
(cmd line: snes9x -hi -x2 -xs 640 -ys 480 <rom>)
A3. Small screen with sound: 15-37 fps
(cmd line: snes9x -hi -xs 320 -ys 240 <rom>)
(cmd line: snes9x -hi <rom>)
A4. Small screen without sound: 22-40 fps
(cmd line: snes9x -hi -xs 320 -ys 240 -ns <rom>)
(cmd line: snes9x -hi -ns <rom>)
A5. Small screen with sound but no hi-res: 17-40 fps (looks same as A3)
(cmd line: snes9x -xs 320 -ys 240 <rom>)
(cmd line: snes9x <rom>)
5. Small screen without sound but no hi-res: 20-41 fps (looks same as A4)
(cmd line: snes9x -xs 320 -ys 240 -ns <rom>)
(cmd line: snes9x -ns <rom>)
Run outside X:
B1. Fullscreen with sound: 9-17 fps
(cmd line: snes9x -hi -x2 -xs 640 -ys 480 <rom>)
B2. Fullscreen no sound: 12-19 fps
(cmd line: snes9x -hi -x2 -xs 640 -ys 480 <rom>)
Interestingly, when you run outside X, there is no small-screen mode. (any mode would be full game screen)
When you do not specify any argument:
snes9x -hi <rom>
it runs in full screen with sound, and obtains 20-41 fps already
when run without sound, 28-44 fps
(cmd line: snes9x -hi -ns <rom>)
Furthermore, without using -hi-res , performance can further be boosted to 24-45 fps, and it is with sound (without -hi-res options, screen looks the same, interestingly)
(cmd line: snes9x <rom>)
without sound, it can get to the best performance ever, 31-60 fps!!! (60 fps is the highest test-able framerate by snes9x)
(cmd line: snes9x -ns <rom>)
To summerize, In X(all with sound):
Run with full screen (8-15 fps): (hi-res is required to run fullscreen in X)
(cmd line: snes9x -hi -x2 -xs 640 -ys 480 <rom>)
Run with small screen (17-40 fps):
(cmd line: snes9x <rom>)
Outside X(with sound):
(cmd line: snes9x <rom>) (24-45 fps)
