FpseCE information dump

Time to dump some information after using the new release of FpseCE for a little over a week.

I have been asked several times on what the best INI config file is for the Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium, Tilt 2). The answer is, there isn't one specific INI file that is going to be an all around configuration for your phone. You may ask 'Why?' and the answer is simple. The GAMES! Some games require specific "patches" or "hacks" for it to properly run or look right on your device. That said, I am attaching an INI file (below) that is a good starting point to get you going. In fact, you may not need to change any options depending on the game you play. I've only played a few games, but everyone I've tried has been good so far. Please note sound is disabled in the INI. If you wish to turn on sound, make EnableSound=ON. Be warned as sound will drop your FPS.

The following is a short list of games that I tested and get good FPS with the linked INI:
  • Final Fantasy VII
  • Final Fantasy IX
  • Twisted Metal 2
I am sure other games run good, but I haven't had the time to test very many. Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game and is nice that it happens to get high FPS. On the TP2 FF VII gets (on average) anywhere from 45-60 FPS. Where 60 FPS is the norm for NTSC PlayStation games. FF IX gets a tad lower and Twisted Metal 2 gets around 45 FPS.

The INI has some screen button overlays configured. I recommend using the screen button overlays because using the keyboard drops the FPS down a LOT. If you find a fix for the keyboard FPS lag, please drop me a line. You will probably want to customize the screen overlays for each game you play. This INI also works good for Touch Pro 1 and Diamond 1 & 2 models (possibly others). If you use this for a different phone, be sure to change the GFXDRV=X to your appropriate screen resolution.
