Puzzle Bobble(s) running slow
« on: February 27, 2004, 08:54:37 am »
I just upgraded to Mame32 .79 and I find that the non-Neo Geo Puzzle Bobbles run slow, at about 55-60%.  I've tried all the frame skipping and stuff but it doesn't help. Also, the sound hic-ups a lot.  My pc is a PIII 733 with 448 Mg of ram.  I don't see why this game would tax the system but my processor gets maxed out when it runs.  Any suggestions?

Yup. Upgrade.  Or downgrade your MAME version.

The entire Neo Geo structure is getting an overhaul as of version .80, and I don't know if that means it will be getting faster or slower.  Likely as not, slower.

But the Neo Geo games run well.  It's just the Puzzlebobs that aren't NeoGeo.

I'll search around for what would be a good upgrade. (money is an issue)

Funny...my brain saw 'Neo Geo' but skipped right over the 'non' part.

Still...downgrade your MAME version.  Each release makes the games a tiny bit slower.

Thanks

Hoho Story of my life. I kept skipping over the 'price tag' bit.... ;)

No wonder I'm broke.  :o
