Skies of Arcadia is a turn based J-RPG originally developed for the Dreamcast by Overworks. Why yes, the author is still pretty bad with names.

By and large, the latest build + LLE Recompiler seems to work pretty well with the exception of cut scenes where emulation speed drops to about 50%.Skies of Arcadia: Legends Maeson is a hack for Skies of Arcadia: Legends. I gave HLE another shot without vbeam but there was still a lot of inaccuracies with the audio. So far my best results have come from using LLE Recompiler and VBeam emulation. Just to report back a bit on my progress, I started using the latest builds because no combination of settings seemed to get beyond the huge lag I was finding with the current stable release (3.0). The next stable release will be 4.0, but the latest GIT releases will reflect a lot of the coming changes for that future release. The one you're using is an experimental GIT version think bleeding edge. When using LLE audio, Accurate VBeam Emulation seems to do alright however.Īlso note that the latest stable version is 3.0 (not 3.0-XXX). It doesn't seem to be very beneficial in this game with HLE audio, as I got audio blips as well turning it off helped.

I would happily stick with HLE if I could figure out how to get around this problem. I did find that with HLE emulation sound was okay but had some blips in it and it tended to play much slower than the game itself was. Thanks for this advice! I have updated to the latest stable release and found it actually played with very reasonable speed when I had vbeam enabled. At any rate, unless you're an audiophile or an emulation purist, HLE audio sounds very comparable to LLE in the latest revisions, anything higher than 3.0-809 should be good. It's almost always 30 FPS everywhere, some instances it drops to 20 in some specific areas, but I've so far only encountered two of them, and they were very brief. I'm able to run this game on LLE with the latest Dolphin revisions without major drops in FPS.

I am currently using the default settings with v3.0-830 although I have enabled vbeam emulation for Skies of Arcadia. Hello again! Thank you to both for replying to my topic!
