ToMinutes()

Math::Types::Fxp SRL::Tickstamp::ToMinutes ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Converts ticks to minutes using DVU hardware acceleration.

Returns

Time in minutes as fixed-point number (Fxp 16.16 format).

Uses SH-2 DVU for 64-bit division: (ticks << 16) / (frequency * 60). Provides the longest Fxp range of all conversion methods.

Range:

• Maximum: 32767 minutes (~22.7 days)
• Minimum: ~0.000000075 minutes (1 tick at PHI_128)

When to Use:

Use for long-duration timing such as play session length, in-game clocks, or cooldown timers that span multiple minutes or hours.

Example:

Tickstamp elapsed = end - start;
Fxp mins = elapsed.ToMinutes();
if (mins > 5.0) {  // More than 5 minutes
    // Auto-save
}
