the core is hardcoded and swapping them didnt do anything. I removed both cores from the /emulator folder and River Raid still worked. Maybe with a different home folder set or whatever, but it's like the aspect ratio is slightly different when you run by hacking a command into the startup.sh instead of going through the menu.

I believe the differences I was seeing before somehow come from running inside the menu system vs. On the Picodrive - Oh that makes more sense and thanks for providing it. ini file you provided, maybe those would help. I noticed there are a ton of fba setting in the. Also, canyon bomber ran fine, but had some major bad sound buzzing which makes it not playable (unless there is a way to disable sound). zim! The Freeburnalpha romset has almost all the mame games supported, but for whatever reason some old games (Spiders) are not in there, and I could not get berserk to load. On the mame2000 - I hope you are right about. It's going to be the weekend before I get it done, but I will try to 'proof of concept' the idea pretty soon. OK, I think there is a pretty easy a way to have more or less complete flexibility, with any emulator/extension combination and 'Back' 'Next' and 'Goto' for the romsets all supported. If we can have real games, HB, and 'other'. I wonder if the rewind feature itself is different. I'll mess with it some more, and let you know. I realize the AFB9 had rewind also, so Im not sure what gives. And I want to say it was on the same part of a stage every time. I did see it dip a time or two to 40fps, but not nearly as often. I disabled rewind and it runs at a smooth 60fps. Sometimes, out of nowhere it dips to 40 long after you used rewind last. but, if you use rewind, when you return to gameplay, it dips back down to 40. When you first start a game, it dips to 40 fps, and then jumps to 60 pretty quick. (Thats the one game I'm familiar with and deff notice the 'dropped frames' on that game.) I also turned on the On Screen Display and watched the Frames Per Second counter.

Bad lag of the X Deluxe and dropped frames in emulation vs the responsiveness and smooth emulation of the 9 Gold.Īs a test I tried editing the retromenu.ini and see if I could get River Raid running more smooth. Wired controllers vs the awesome wireless ones of the 9 Gold. I'm looking forward to what comes out of the custom firmware for it, because I really have no reason to keep this one as-is. And yep, the 9 Gold definitely plays MUCH better than my X. My firmware is v0.1.7.Īfter playing around with the X for a while, I tried my 9 Gold again just to make sure it wasn't just my memory playing tricks on me. I'm wondering if it's just this firmware, or if it's like this on all Xs. The performance is much worse than my 9 Gold. It arrived yesterday, but so far I'm very disappointed.
