Cheat options (overclock) from command line (adding to derivative)
Howard_Casto:
No it definately effects the audio.....
Without underclocking my 2600+ plays the audio more or less fine. Now the sound effects skip a lot, but thats because the processor is displaying the game too slowly and the audio is timed.
When it's underclocked the pitch of the audio is distorted as well as the speed.
Again though, this doesn't make a difference.... if the audio doesn't work then it isn't playable. If the audio worked before hand is beside the point.
Kinda like the zn games.... I am glad to see them in mame, but I can't figure out why some of the devs are deeming them "playable" when the audio is screwed up. I guess they are playaable if you are deaf and never heard the sound to begin with.
Audio is a very important part of a game. I'm one of those people that can't play a game muted because it messes my reaction time up. I'm not in the minority either, a lot of people are that way.
Anyway, I didn't post that before just to start an argument, I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong and missing out of crusin at full speed. Thanks for confirming.
*sigh* back to the n64 port it is then :(

I just tried on the P4 1.8 and the audio is better with no overclocking at 11% of full speed. On a 2600, it's possible you could get away with no overclock on CPU 2 and more on CPU1, or vice versa, rather than a balanced overclock, and some combination might work better for the audio.

I can't play with sound turned off, muted or distorted I can deal with.

No problem, I didn't think you were being argumentative, I just had audio turned off while I played with the overclocking settings.

Sorry! Does that work okay? I never got it playable on the Duron 850, slowed to about 60% whenever the car was not driving in a straight line.
