Would it be possible to add a limit to the speed function? #339

Hi, go to: Options -> General you will see a Throttle setting, you can set it to any speed where 100% is normal speed. HTH |

Ok I understand you'd like to be able to set a custom throttle for the turbo button, I think we can do this easily. |

Add Speedup / Turbo configuration panel which allows setting the throttle or number of frames to skip for when the speed key is pressed or turbo is enabled (which just presses the speed key.) Throttle and frame-skip are mutually exclusive, throttle must be 0 (no throttle) when number of frames to skip is non-zero. The dialog controls handle this. This is implemented in the core in GBA.cpp, GB.cpp and ConfigManager. Two new options are added both in ConfigManager and in the wx options, speedup_throttle and speedup_frame_skip, the defaults are: ``` speedup_throttle = 0 (no throttle) speedup_frame_skip = 9 ``` this was the original behavior. Add support for unsigned ints to wx/opts.cpp for these and for throttle, this requires a new validator wxUIntValidator to use them in spin controls. Clean up appearance of the throttle spin control in the General dialog. Maximum throttle and speedup_throttle is 600, values much over 500 will not behave differently from 0 on modern hardware. Maximum frame skip is 30 at the moment. Signed-off-by: Rafael Kitover <rkitover@gmail.com>

Ok it was not as easy as I thought, but I implemented it in master. Maybe @ZachBacon will push a new nightly for you to try soon. |

@jrmoore please try this binary and see if the new |

Conditionally compile out the code for the feature implemented in 16dd5d4 (which is the throttle and frame skip configuration for the speedup button) for libretro, and use the old behavior of skipping 9 frames. Affects GBA.cpp and GB.cpp . Signed-off-by: Rafael Kitover <rkitover@gmail.com>

Note for anyone trying this, for speedup throttle to work DISPLAY FILTER MUST BE OFF. Otherwise the game speed will not increase. I'm going to try to fix this. @retro-wertz and you too. |

This is a feature request rather than a bug report, I think the provided form for bug reports doesn't apply but let me know if you need to know anything else.
I downloaded the current 64-bit build for Windows after many years of not playing and I'm glad for new cross-OS UI, but since I'm now playing in a vastly more powerful machine than before and I'm sure compiler optimizations have also got better with the years, the emulation speed is nuts when in speed mode.
Normally it runs fine at 100% @ 60 FPS even with pixel filters enabled, but it jumps to 3000+% while in turbo mode. I looked if there was a way to limit it to a certain % but I couldn't see any option anywhere.
Would it be possible to implement it? If so, please consider it for a future release.
PS. Thanks for the awesome work guys & gals! Revisiting my youth has never been better ^_^
