            @frank-0 You can try overclocking to 1300 if you get slowdowns on fbneo, but they'll definitely run full speed on fba2012.

                @frank-0 the original pi3b is slightly slower than the pi3b+ but on my older pi3b I managed to get the CP System III games working on fbneo. That emulator was built with the capcom games in mind I believe.

                Also pro tip, of you're playing street fight 3 2nd impact play it in wide-screen! One of the few arcade games that has that ability natively.
