      @vasili that's okay, I was only suggesting that some people may not see it as apparent as others. Nothing wrong with that.

        Sorry if it sounded aggressive it wasn't my intention. I am not a great writer to be honest :(

          No problem @vasili.

          I disabled smoothing and enabled the fps display. It was reporting 59-60fps constantly even when the big boss on the first level came up and caused MSlugX to slow up. I guess it is just Neo Geo doing its thing..

            @GreenHawk84 Out of interest, have you tried gngeo as a comparison?

            As many others have pointed out, the originals do slow down at points, so maybe check some YouTube vids to see how it looks on the original hardware.
            I had the full set on AES and loved them!

              The big boss battles seem to have the slow-downs for me on the original arcade.

              Have you gotten gngeo to work on the latest RetroPie builds?

                as said, lr-fba-next's neogeo CPU overclock option is for exactly these scenarios :)

                1. load game
                2. select + X to access RGUI
                3. options
                4. cpu overclock - raise it (not sure how much you'd need, but experiment)
                5. exit, and reload game.

                  So last night I was messing around with Metal Slug, I overclocked NeoGeo in the Retroarch GUI as described here. I set it at 170 and Metal Slug games ran SO MUCH better. One thing though, I noticed this setting carried over without setting it to Metal Slug 2, etc. Will this affect everything NeoGeo or is this something lr-FBA-next is going to hold on to? I don't need anything else overclocked.

                    well, apparently :) you can enable per-game core configs - i forget how without looking. once enabled, at the top of the core options it should say 'save game config' or something like that. that saves it only for that game.

                      @dankcushions , I'll have to go home and check out something else on lr-FBA-next like Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and see if that still applies. I'm gonna try to save it for Metal Slug only.

                        I fired up other games on lr-FBA-next last night and the overclock I did for Metal Slug was saved for the core across all games. Not sure how this affects anything if it's worth just leaving alone.
