| Mike Tyson's Punchout Emulation |

Let me start off by saying that I have been playing Mike Tyson's Punchout, off and on, for over 20 years. It is one of those select games that I have actually taken pride in my skills. On the original NES console (and on an old CRT TV) I have routinely dominated the game (including defeating Tyson himself). Here is the issue. I have Punchout emulated on my arcade cab (using VirtualNes, an NES USB joypad, and using a 15" LCD monitor). The problem is, under these conditions, I am unable to defeat Tyson. In addition to that, even Super Macho Man and Mr. Sandman have been giving me problems. It could be the unfortunate truth, but I have difficulty in accepting the possibility that my skills have dimished so drastically. :banghead: My theory is that there may be an ever so slight timing difference on the original NES cartridge when compared to emulated versions of the game. This timing difference wouldn't be noticeable on easier opponents, but would be deadly when you are trying to dodge one of Tyson's uppercuts. Has anyone else noticed a timing difference or is it just my imagination? I am almost ready to dig out my old NES (along with an old TV) in order to prove this to myself. But I figured that it would be easier to first get input from others that may have experienced this. Thanks for any and all input. :) |

I beat Tyson just the other night on my cabinet, but I'm using Nestopia. I also use original NES controllers and ports that I have wired to my cabinet using 4NES/4SNES chip from raphnet.net. I don't have any issues with Tyson or even the speeder bike level on Battletoads. |

How old is the monitor? What kind of display latency does it have? Is the emulator doing triple buffering and graphics enhancements that would add even more latency? |

Chad was a fervent advocate that there is a timing issue on any emulation of that particular game. |

Maybe Maximrecoil has some insight as I believe he has the original equipment at home. He may also be a record holder on it too. I may not have the right game but I know he's more than fond of it. |
