is it possible to play fceu through pvr-350 tv-out? when i try it is very slow and im thinking its because of the card im using. my machine is slow, a pentium 2 750 , but i would have thought that would be fast enough for nes games.
thanks

The PVR-350 definitely isn't a video card in the normal sense, and the framebuffer trick which is used to allow it to do the X server display has serious limitations.

Sure it is. It's just a rather slow one (though I've seen slower ones).

Using the ivtv X11 driver instead of framebuffer mode speeds things up a lot. It's still not fast compared to modern GPUs, and I don't know that it's going to make the game in question playable, but it's worth a try.

hmmmm.. well i looked around and i am at a loss. could you point me in the right direction to further investigate this "ivtv driver instead of frame buffer" deal?

just in case anybody stumbles on this with the same problem... it was kind of an illusion. the video was ok but the sound was bad. i did apt-get install libsdl1.2-oss and changed the command to "aoss fceu" and it works great.
