Hi.

Here is the 24MHz patched neo-geo core up to date.

To be honest I am completely lost here... I've been running emulators since 20 years and just a short while ago I moved to FPGA only because I've been surrounded by people in my community that moved beyond emulation and started using FPGA and convincing me of its pure way of playing the good old games. Not because it is easy but because the hard w...

Hi. I just wanted to add to the already great advices in this thread that a large proportion of flat panel TVs have frame pacing issues. What you are describing is not surprising at all... In my small series of tests this seemed to be somewhat linked to the video input lag of the TV: the more frames of lag, the highest the chance of “jerky scrollin...

This game has a lot of weird issues right now. For one, when I hit the coin button, it gives me the Neo Geo bios sound effect which is weird. Also, the music doesn't play during the first set and after the first set, there's no sound at all. I'm using a Darksoft romset so I don't believe my set is the issue. Anyone else experiencing this problem? ...

Absolutely brilliant work. From what I can tell this doesn't seem to affect any other games negatively, meaning everything runs much smoother and optimized. Metal Slug 2 with this CPU overclock and using the Turbo ROM hack removes 90% of the slowdown. Essentially, the game is much more enjoyable now. Is there a way you can add this to the main rep...

There's a metal slug 2 turbo patch floating about on the internet: some of the problem is an error in the game's code that can be fixed. I believe it is in mame as mslug2t. I'm not sure if it is in the various darksoft packs Edit: It's in the mister romset.xml as 'Metal Slug 2 (Turbo Hack)' Partially fixed, sadly. There are still slowdowns with it...

Just a question, but on original Neogeo console Metal Slug 2 suffers of these slowdowns? Hi. Yes, Metal Slug 2 is well known for its terrible slowdowns (some people like them though). Multiple other games are impacted as well, like Storm Troopers 2 for example. Take a look at the following video, shot from real hardware: https://youtu.be/VY9oFmTF_...

A different patch, this time with only the CPU overclocked to 24MHz.

It seems to remove some subtle visual glitches in Metal Slug 2. Not sure if this affects the performance negatively compared to the previous patch (which overclocks more components).

Hi there, Here is a modified NeoGeo_MiSTer core updated so that most components have a double clock speed ( MC68000 will run at 24MHz ). This nearly eliminates all slow downs in Metal Slug 2 :D. This is a quick and dirty hack while waiting for a better implementation from one of our expert FPGA developers. I have attached the .rbf file as well as t...
