IGS Polygame Master games...
-
Hi,
Whilst trying out some Arcade ROMs via lr-fba-next earlier. I decided to test games which use the PGM bios such as "Demon Front", "Martial Masters" and "Knights of Valour" to see if they were playable. Alas, it was decidedly hit and miss on my Pi2 despite running at 1ghz.
I'm thinking of upgrading to Pi3 pretty soon and wondered if overall performance has improved for these games along with others I've encountered that use this hardware.
Along the same lines, I've also noticed Konami games such as GI Joe, Vendetta and Asterix don't run as smooth on lr-fba-next compared to other emus. So has anyone noticed an improvement running these on Pi3 too?
Cheers :)

@Cornervizion Ok I tested all of those games on my Pi3 using both lr-fba-next and lr-fba. I am pretty much getting a consistent 60fps on both emulators but I think the sound may be a bit better using lr-fba.
These games are great, upgrade to the Pi3 for sure!

Whoah 60fps?
I would appreciate it very much if you could let me know which rom version and pgm bios you're using? Perhaps list the rom/bios zip contents or check the file sizes?For the life of me, i could never get Demon Front running full speed on my pi3/lr-fba-next, getting only around 35-40fps with horrendous stuttering sound issues. Tried every rom and bios available, even rebuilt my own from latest .173 to no avail.

@senkun I just used the ones you find after Googling "FBA roms" and they worked in both lr-fba-next and lr-fba. Got the BIOS there too. Hope this helps.
-
lr-fba-next is best core for capcom e neo geo games, run street fighter new generation and others.
-
Thanks for your help and the hint, yes I have that rom version and bios as well, just to be sure I just tried them once again. No luck, still the same audio issues plus slow 30~40fps. Everything is like slo-mo, more so when a lot of sprites are on screen.
Trying to figure out where the problem is, I'm testing on a stock rpi3 / Retropie 3.8/ lr-fba-next (tried both v0.2.97.37 and v0.2.97.38), had the same problem on Retropie 3.7 / lr-fba-next v0.2.97.37 as well. When I was trying to suss this out some time back, I even tried it out with the pi oc'ed to 1450, didn't make much of a difference.
What's your setup like? Stock or perhaps there's something else I'm overlooking? Is everyone else running Demon Front just fine?
-
@senkun That's weird. I haven't overclocked and I am running RetroPie 3.7. Make sure you have no shaders on and that Video_Smooth is set to disabled maybe?
-
Shaders on or off hardly any difference, video_smooth is always disabled. I have no idea what is wrong, fwiw it runs smoother/faster/better on lr-fba but I'd much prefer just using fba-next. Everything else neo-geo etc., runs perfectly. I had just about given up on this some time back, then you posted ;P
I might just do a fresh bone stock install of 3.7 and test again with just that one rom and bios this weekend.
-
@senkun Yeah that might be a good idea. I'll boot it up again and go into the RGUI and see if I have anything changed in there, not that I recall though.
-
Whelp. No go, same 30~40fps slowmo and stuttering sound.
Just to rule out anything else, this was a fresh vanilla 3.7 install on a verified good sdcard in a Pi3, using just lr-fba-next v0.2.97.37 running the dmnfrnt.zip rom with pgm.zip bios (from the googled source). Only thing done was to configure a generic usb controller via retropie, all other settings including rgui at default.
Everyone else running IGS PGM's Demon Front at full speed?
-
Yeah @senkun i have retropie on my rpi3 and Demon Front run at full speed.
I use dmnfrntpcb with lr-fbalpha emulator.
Need dmnfrnt.zip and pgm.zip at the same folder to work ! -
@mikaenes no to all those things, get non-merged dmnfrnt.zip put pgm.zip in bios directory and run with lr-fba
-
@mikaenes also if you didnt notice, that post was from 2 years ago... that was several lr-fba versions ago and one pi revision behind
