2024 Gauntlet Legends/Dark Legacy

<< < (2/3) > >>

pbj:
I was running it 100% on a $1,500 laptop five years ago, so I imagine anything contemporary will run it now.  We went through years of people selling dogshit used computers on here that they stole from their work dumpster and claiming it and NFL Blitz ran “nearly 100%.”  I’ve been here so long I can remember them claiming the same about MK2 and NBA Jam earlier than that (and also lying).

What killed it for me was Diablo 3 on consoles, which is an excellent couch co op game.  I recently purchased an Xbox Series X to play Diablo 4 and I haven’t been so ---fracking--- mad in years.  Would have been nice if one single review mentioned persistently online and no local four player.

As malenko mentioned, the resolution setting is your biggest performance boost.  The graphics are all late 90s hideous anyway, so medium doesn’t look much better than standard.

Back on topic:

Any moderately recent PC should be able to handle both Legends and Dark Legacy with ease. If you're trying to run it on a pi or something then its not likely.  If you are going to emulate a console version, I like the DC one the best. The only trick I know to make it run better is to change the game config in MAME to run it in standard res instead of medium res.

Agreed - anyone here longer than 10 years would get the joke behind PBJs post. Totally harmless.

Just kinda felt like i walked into walmart and the greeter licked my hand.  I had to take a shower after

Yeah, sometimes I do leave here feeling a bit like that.

Jokes aside, I am a sucker and sometimes feel sorry for newcomers to our warmly welcoming paradise :D

Last year for giggles, I myself ran Gauntlet Legends at 100% on a 15+ year old computer built out of bits - core2duo E8600 with 4GB RAM, slightly overclocked to a bit over 4Ghz.

For MAME, single/duo core performance is more important than multicore.

As other have mentioned, if you are into that style of gameplay, there are better games. I even prefer original Gauntlet.

Im in it for the memberberries.  Got some 49 way joysticks coming in and im gonna do gpwiz 49's on a 4 player control for a dynamo showcase with the grey tub control panel box for my 4 player hyperspin setup.   Just been something ive been looking to do for a while feeling like its about time.

Whats funnier is my current hyperspin cab has an e8600 (great chip)  dont wanna OC though.  Im gonna move it to a cocktail to run vertical trackball/spinner games and put a 9600k in the showcase now that we cqn run Gauntlet Legends 100% woot!
