Boxy boy (US)
#260045 - 07/16/11 12:59 AM


Why is it that Boxy Boy (US) is the only game I have on MAME that is slow as a snail? I can run Games on the Wolf driver such as Mk3 with no problems. Why is this the only game giving me speed issues? Thank you.

Actually, all Namco System 1 games are pretty bad performance-wise - especially since the last memory core changes in 0.142u3. It's one of a few edge cases which needs some work before the performance issues can be sorted out.

Until then, I'd suggest using 0.139 if you want to play that game or games in the driver at sufficient speed.

The game is slow because you're not thinking outside the box!

Yeah, it runs slow for me too but there is a version of it for PC Engine that can be played in MESS and it runs normal. I just tried it out and it's a fun puzzle game to play.

Thank you guys for your help. I never knew the driver was altered. Now I do.
