well you can change it back to 15 if you want.

but keep in mind many games will run 5-10% slower and framelimiter will no longer work.

in any case, framelimiter is broken again since 3545, so who cares...

It should work fine....

what it should and what it does are two different things.

3545 messed up the timing completly, you get more fps as the game actually runs.
(some games are slow even with 100fps !)

neither framelimit will work anymore (of course it will not when fps and gamespeed no
longer depend on each other), nor will other audio, at least for some games. (e.g.
both zelda, SSBM)

please delete whole framelimiter and set back watchdog to 15.

Its a pain in the ass when the framelimiter allways gets broken by somebody 2 days
after it was working and people complain at me that its not working and its not even
my fault.

Setting Watchdog to 60 fixes Metroid Prime 2 freezing issue in DC mode.
But year new frame limiter after 3545 now works like the Enable Other Audio-slows
games down

Alright, after being able to compile various revisions, by changing
FAKE_GP_WATCHDOG_PERIOD = GetTicksPerSecond() / 60;
to
FAKE_GP_WATCHDOG_PERIOD = GetTicksPerSecond() / 15;
Brawl regained its old speed, even at fps rates of 20 - 25.

File is: /trunk/Source/Core/Core/Src/HW/SystemTimers.cpp line 240

Probably other wii games with the 'frameskip' feature will recover their speed from this.
Of course, this affects Iulius' framelimiter in a negative way.

Well, whoever has brawl try the patch, i don't reccomend any of the latest (r36xx)
due to another bug.
It adds a watchdog config to the main options, and it even saves.

Personally i don't think we need more options in the configs.
There is already quite a few.

Yeah yeah, i know, i made it with the sole purpose of testing different games without
having to compile every single time.
Since i don't have many games, other people might try different watchdog settings for
such games and see what's best.
Of course, its existence only has a purpose if someone is planning to make an
autoconfig for specific games.

I think adding it as an option is a good idea,
why is this bug marked as questionable? it's a real issue with a good analyze.

Issue 1060 has been merged into this issue.

Questionable this?
My new tests in this thread.

Watchdog options is essential, at least I think. SSBB and other games are faster, with
less than 60 ...

watchdog unstable and broke some game.

Low watchdog has no effect on some games because these actually wait for the gfx part
to finish (Zeldas, SMG), by giving idle frames and borking the fps counter.
Well, this is no final solution after all. One would be to make emulated GPU faster,
which is the current bottleneck.

that's what omegadox has been saying for a while now.

was this bug fixed?
