Hi there

This game suffers from slowdowns a lot.
F1 circus 92 is barely playable on ME (scrolling is glitchy), but its a bit better on Mednafen, it seems...
F1 circus (the original one) is perfect on ME, so it's not a vsync/monitor problem

David told me long ago that he would add an option to overclock the pc-engine cpu, which should solve this.
This is still not implemented.
Any hope to see that soon ?

thanks for the support

cheers

Yes, soon, I have a working overclocker already but it needs a bit more testing before I can include it.

Great ::
Merci beaucoup David Smile

Still, couldn't the Co-processors be the cause of the slowdown instead ?
I mean I don't know much about the architecture, but I guess main cpu may be "cool" while the graphic one could be overloaded ?

No, only the CPU can slow down a game, the graphics chip is just a display chip, it doesn't do any processing.

Speeding the CPU may not always improve the gameplay though, the frame rate of the game might be hardcoded, it will help mainly with slow down, and it's also good for 'thinking' games, like Military Madness.

ok
It's not hard coded, as it fluctuates a lot Smile
