Why SNes operate faster than expected – and why is it a problem

These thermal effects are affected by the contrast of the natural watch through various keyboards. The slower and fastest DSPS in the Cecil sample showed a difference around the clock 234 Hz, or about 0.7 percent of 32,000 Hz specifications.

This difference is small enough that human players may not notice this directly; The total member of the Tasbot team is estimated to reach “perhaps at least a second or two seconds [of difference] Over the hours of playing. “Skilled contestants can notice small differences, although if the different CPU and APU alignment causes” carefully preserved enemy style changes to something else “between running, Cecil said.

For Speedrun with the help of the tools paid to the tools, the clock differences between keyboards can cause endless headaches. As a member of the Tasbot Undisbeliever team Explain in his detailed analysis: “In one of the console, this may take 0.126 frames to treat music race, on a different control unit, it may take 0.127 frames. It may not seem much but it is sufficient to delay the start of downloading the song under one frame (depending on timing, late and symbol).”



Cecil survey found that contrast through keyboards was much higher than the effects of heat on any one controller.

Cecil also said that the DSP watch, which was reported a little higher than what was expected, at an average rate of 32,076 Hz at room temperature. This is slightly higher than each of the 32,000 Hz -Herz specified and 32,040 Hz, which was settled by the emulator developers after taking actual devices in 2003.

For some observers, this is evidence that SNES APUS, which was originally produced in the 1990s, was slightly accelerating with their age and could continue to get faster in the coming years and contracts. But Cecil says that historical data that have a very circumstantial to provide such a certain claim.

“We are all a group of skilled and skilled professionals differently, and it is nature to discuss what the results mean, which is good,” Cecil said. “The only thing that we can say with certainty is the statistical importance of responses that show the average rate of the current DSP sample is 32,076 Hz, faster on average of the original specifications. The rest is up to the interpretation and a certain amount of educated guessing based on what we can collect.”
