H120 plugin speed -- games play *fast*

(1/3) > >>

Chronon:
I've noticed that in comparison to my Gigabeat F40 the H120 that I just Rockboxed plays a lot of the games at a very high speed.  Brickmania, for example, is very difficult to play because the gameplay is so fast.  Is there a particular reason for this?  I searched the wiki, but couldn't find any info on this -- and obviously the manual does not contain inter-target comparisons.  It's not a huge issue, since I would opt to use the Gigabeat for games anyway.  It's just a curiosity at the moment.

LambdaCalculus:
Wow, that's kinda strange. One of my friends has an H120, and he says that the games all play just fine. Has it always been like this for you, or has it started with a recent SVN build, perhaps? I'm rather curious about this as well.

Llorean:
Well, if you're using Brickmania for an example, it's a unique case. The gameplay speed is dependent on the target's resolution (due to some quirks in how it's programmed, if I understand correctly) so because of this, lower resolution screens tend to be faster I guess.

Chronon:
Hmm... okay.  Is Bubbles the same?  Because I've noticed that the bubbles fire faster and the "Hurry Up!" prompt comes much faster on it than on my Gigabeat.  

That makes a lot of sense, though.  I haven't noticed this on all plugins/games.

LambdaCalculus:
Actually Llorean, now that you mention it, I have noticed a difference in speed between my iPod video and my girlfriend's iriver H320 when playing certain games. Brickmania is a bit slow on my player (which is 320x240), compared to the iriver (which is 220x176). My H120-toting friend hasn't informed me about the performance of all of the games, but a couple like Bubbles and Star do feel a wee bit faster on the H120 than on the H320 or my iPod.
