RetroPie emulator question

AdvanceMame is also an option. I play 'Ninja Baseball Batman' pretty regularly and the game runs at a steady 60fps apart from the interstitial segments between stages mentioned above. Those just seem to be too taxing for the Pi and that's not likely to change with any version.

Well i bet it works better for the Linux version lol.

Well, Raspbian is Linux, but yes, I was talking about the Pi versions.

Oh i know you were talking about the Pi version but i was just stating that the PC version should be able to run games like that a lot smoother.
Also wanted to ask you this other question as well and that is when i press start for the menu part and wanted to increase the Vram on the system that when i highlight it that it starts to move up and down and i don't think it is a controller issue because i tried it out with my PS3, G3s and a wired keyboard.

@mediamogul i have never heard of this game but if it works in lr-mame2010 on the pi, (not sure about any other mames) as an example, if you set frameskip to 10 in golden tee 2k which does the same thing, it plays perfect and smooth. No jittering from the frameskip. I assume you could do the same in lr-mame2003.

Very promising. I'll give that a shot.

@Ecks sorry to bring up this old topic a year ago. i like Ninja Baseball Batman very much, and can't find a good emulator for it. the lr-mame2003 has error on emulating and lr-fbalpha runs a little bit slow. the best emulator i found at present is advmame3.8, but it's pain to set bezel for it. i have a pi 3b+ .which emulator u use to play it? thx.

Eldrethor

@sunnymo I use lr-mame2003 to play the game, and while it does warn you that the emulation isn't perfect, I don't see any real graphical glitches or anything like that; just some slowdown during cutscenes, but that's the extent of it.

@sunnymo

On the Pi, I believe you'll have slowdown during the cutscenes no matter which emulator you choose.

SunnyMo

@eldrethor yes, finally i turn to lr-mame2003-plus, this is good enough to play.

Ecks

I use lr-fbalpha which i find runs better and no slowdowns during the cutscene.

Are you perhaps using a Pi 3B+? I just tested this on my 3B and it had considerable slowdown during the cutscenes, as well as the actual game play. For my setup, I've personally had the best luck with AdvanceMame 3.x. Aside from the problematic cutscenes, the game play runs at a steady 60 fps.

@mediamogul I am using the Pi 3B+ but when i was using a Pi 3 awhile back i had it overclocked to like 1.35Ghz and was still running pretty good from my experience.
