Sorry, just trying to gain a deeper understanding of it. It has been very helpful. Is there someone who works specifically in this area of the code that would be open to questions? |

Yeah, that's understandable. That's why I really appreciate the conversation here. :cheers: I'll stick to my plan of trying console ports if lag in MAME is excessive (I think I'll still be playing a LOT of games in MAME though). This conversation has made me want to buy more actual PCB's too. Whether using a port or a PCB I'll use a camera test to compare if MAME is really adding much lag, or if most of it is in the game itself. |

Just grabbed Demon Front and it looks freaking awesome. |

The official Metal Slug offering from the same year was Metal Slug 4 so I think IGS can easily say they had the better offering that year ;-) It's a shame the remaining newer IGS titles have such insanely nasty protection at hardware level they might never be *properly* emulated, they were pretty nutty about their protection on everything from the casino games to their arcade titles, but I guess coming from Taiwan they know first hand how bad bootlegging is in the asian regions. Obviously for the same reasons the games, including Demon Front are *hugely* popular in China. |
