FFR Smoothing Tool

[MRichards]

I don't know if anyone is using this tool, but here goes anyway...

Firstly, I've sorted out some issues with the program freezing. But mainly, the latest version now supports normal resolution rather than just low resolution, and allows full screen, perfectly smooth play.... but only if you've got a half-decent gaming rig. I tested it on this setup:

Intel 2.4Ghz Core Duo
2 Gig RAM
NVidia GeForce 7600GT (256Mb)
Using NView to stretch the desktop across two monitors

I ran the game in the second monitor, and my program in a full-screen window in the main monitor. I got silky smooth arrows at 85fps - just like StepMania \(^^)/

Look (2560x960 screenshot - FPS can be seen in window corner):

The fps and resolution could have been higher, but I was using a pair of old CRT monitors. I used the latest beta Adobe Flash player, which gave a noticeable FPS increase: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/

Well, my work here is done... I hope some other people can get this working too:

Time to start playing again...
