Cool
. The Dev build did play a important role while developing MTVU, for sure. I should have known this. But trying to think when you're falling asleep is bit hard. So I have nothing to add, unfortunately.
I just have one more question, not related to this article (and I think there is no need to open a topic just to ask it):
Cottonvibes, do you (or anyone else on the team) intends to finalize the new DMAC Justin left incomplete? Just out of curiosity. Sorry, I do not recall having read anything about that in my relatively recent visits to the pcsx2's GoogleCode page.
EDIT: Sorry, I meant Jake. Not Justin. Danm, I need some sleep.

oh my lord... You see? Sleep deprivation... I meant Jake, of course. I'm going to bed right now
And I hope Jake don't read this.
And I think I'm gonna brake some sisters favorite teen pop CD when I wake up.
Justin... I hate that guy and I just can't hear that goddamn cd anymore. And my sister loves that sh1t and put it to play every single day.

I can give non-expert explanation for that:
EE&VU on 1st core + GS on 2nd core - without MTVU.
If GS was pretty low and EE or VU were going very high turning on MTVU divides it to
EE on 1st core + GS/VU on 2nd core
or
VU on 1st core + GS/EE on 2nd core
=
profit O.o
At least by my lame understanding...

if the game uses GS heavily, the boost is either faking the fps, faking the fps and running slower, or just running slower with dual core cpu's.
Games that are running faster, are probably lighter on the GS thread that mtvu is sharing a core with.....
so yeah, seconding what miseru said.

you wont get any benefit ( whether dual or quad ) if you are GS limited
