@mrjordaaany, I tried 3rd Strike again today and it was not as bad as I remembered but still looked like it was skipping frames. My lr-fba has the latest update. I then played 3rd Strike on my ps2 and it was a lot smoother. I think if you were to play it on the pi without knowing how smooth it is on the ps2 you might think there was nothing wrong with it. It is definitely playable on the pi.

Yeah I'll agree with that. It's probably still not 100% but more in the 90% region now. However compared to not having updated lr-fba it is a huge difference in performance.

I can beat 'Contra' with the allotted three lives

Maybe you'll like to replay this game: it got new cheevos.

And there are some "bonus" cheevos with some really challenging ones:

How to make the ROM work with the "bonus" cheevos is described in the comments.

I hope you enjoy!

Nice! 'Contra' is one of those games that seems tailor-made for cheevos. My play habits have been so scattershot lately that I wouldn't mind fully committing to a game for some tough, object-oriented gaming. The bonus cheevos appear to be mostly two player, but they're extremely creative. It looks like a few are even escort missions where the second player can't ever die or fire a shot. Very keen!
