It runs real slow for me also. Is it the arcade vga cant handle it? Any tips on speeding it up?

Can anyone help me with these issues?

Post by: JCKnife on March 07, 2005, 10:26:33 am: Simpsons Bowling has little to no sound for me, either, and doesn't seem worth the hassle. I tried several bowling games last night and enjoyed Capcom Bowling and World Class Bowling the most.

Post by: Chris on March 07, 2005, 11:04:04 am: Simpsons Bowling works fine for me on an Athlon XP 2000+ with 512MB of RAM, but it only occupies a rectangle about 2/3rds the width and 1/2 the height of the screen. And, compared to WC Bowling, it just doesn't seem to be a very fun game.
