Agreed, but I can also see why they would hesitate a bit with RetroArch being used in all sorts of scenarios, some that come to mind:
- Powerful computers (so should be on by default)
- Embedded devices (ON or OFF depending how well it works and how much more CPU it uses)
- Portable emulation devices (totally should be off to save battery life)
It's hard to come up with a sensible default here, especially when a lot of people might upgrade, see the game runs worse/uses more battery and downgrade right away before inspecting changes.
- 6yyyyyy 4y agoHow does this use more battery power? Seems like it just does the same work at a different time.
- Hamcha 4y agoThat's my bad, you are correct! My assumption was that frame delay exploits the fact that CPU are way faster than original hardware (hence you can defer computation later since it will take less anyway) and since the most common trick to increase battery life is to slow down the CPU, eating away at your extra budget, you would want frame delay disabled, but that is definitely not correct. If anything, Automatic Frame Delay would probably help letting you tune in CPU speeds without worrying too much about adjusting the Frame Delay as well.
- stavros 4y agoDoesn't it? Smaller delay means more fps, and thus more processing power.
