Re: CPS2 emulation questions

discussion was about two years ago

found it. jedpossum clarified on FBA discussion that this was more of a refresh rate issue

That is wrong, the refresh rate is 59 not the frames generated per second. And if you add turbo there will be even less frames.


original quote is here:

Without really seeing what's going on, I can offer two pieces of general advice:

1. If you are practicing this game anywhere else but on an emulator, know that Vampire Savior is meant to run at 59 Frames Per Second while GGPO (and probably all other emus) run it at 60 FPS. I've heard that for some people this can make a huge difference in their timing. Even in my case, without having known that for the longest time, I noticed that sometimes, certain maneuvers simply felt easier when I wasn't on GGPO. So, if you're practicing somewhere else, you might just wanna practice on an emulator.


I remember also reading that Callus still has the correct speed on CPS1 Street Fighter. Cant find that unfortunately

FBA speed vs what it should be:

some people thought mame was slower than fba. a somewhat sketchy test where you pause the game and use a frame advance in the input test option of the service menu suggested that it also had the most input lag, and that elsemi's CPS3 emulator had the least. i always thought the gameplay felt closest to the arcade in elsemi's emulator, but further testing of it is probably not helpful if nobody uses it.

Yeah that's been my perception of MAME as well. I know some of the ST guys were saying that it has improved on cps2 and that it's the closest you'll find to arcade perfect. Curious if MAME has made similar strides for cps3. I downloaded the most recent version and went through arcade mode, but it's tough to tell just based on feel how the input lag is. It definitely felt different from fba to me.

Does anyone have an idea of how MAME performs versus any of the other versions? Does the speed feel closer to the real hardware or no?

Depends which version of MAME. Re-Record version of MAME allows you to adjust the cpu speed.
CPS2 games should be on 75%


Yeah I've noticed that. If you change the CPU speed setting in ST from 75%, the game speeds up. Doesn't seem to be the case in other CPS2 games, like the Alpha series, though
