Hi

I have a simple question.

I wanted to know if the normal lag of a ROM could be avoided by some emulator? For example, in MM3, in the start of the stage with the spark bot, there is a lot of lag if you have too much enemy. Is it possible with any emulator to run the game without lag? I Wonder because I want to do it with my rom... and I noticed how Rockman 4 MI doesn't lag considering all the things you have in the screen.

thanks

MartsINY, maker of Mega Man Dr Cossack Treason, soon a new release!!

very very good question. There are no emulators that can run NES games i believe, with the NES CPU being faster (no lag).

But the games can be modified heavily (the asm code) to reduce lag by re-writing routines, un-rolling very long loops, and many other things.

Im pretty sure rock5easily, and puresabe have some "light" patches for megaman 4 and 5. but i dont think there's one for megaman 3 though

I've reduced the lag in my megaman 3 hack, megaman odyssey TONS compared to an original megaman 3 rom, but i've spent years doing it though, so my changes will not be the same as a megaman 3 clean rom though, otherwise i would make notes and make a public patch like rock5easily/puresabe did

thx a lot for the reply Kuja, I hoped for a simple solution from the emulator (like unlimited sprite with nestopia)

sometime I think I should rewrite the whole engine code to faster it... probably that is what I'll end up doing one day

As far as I can tell, emulators are designed to imitate hardware completely, lag and all.

And I thought NES emulators were easy to run... on DOS!
