Best way to emulate Mushi?

[shorty]

I have the Mushihimesama steam version but can't stand the sluggish slowdown on latter stages. Is there any emulator that tries to reproduce the arcade slowdowns more accurately?

The port emulates the arcade slowdown more accurately than any emulator currently does.

have you actually played the arcade version to know what the slowdown is like in the original

I have the Mushihimesama steam version but can't stand the sluggish slowdown on latter stages.

This is an issue with the CV1K arcade hardware. There's no sprite maximum (they don't drop out like in older games), but when there are enough of them on-screen, the system starts to chug. That's just the way it is and the games were originally designed with that limitation in mind.

If you want to challenge yourself, play it in MAME. There's very little slowdown. There's an option in the slider controls called "blitter delay" that I think is supposed to address that issue, but I tried 2 stages in ultra on both 0 and 100% and saw no difference. For what it's worth, no lag on any patterns in ultra mode is quite insane.

No

Well, there's Demul, a Dreamcast/Naomi/Gaelco 3D/Atomiswave/CV1000 emulator as of the latest version.

Demul is no better than Mame.

[Bananamatic]

demul is even worse tbh

[qmish]

demul is for naomi

[nem]

CV1000 emulator as of the latest version.

[Bananamatic]

cv1k emulation is garbage
I seriously hope you aren't telling people to use it over the port

[tomwhite2004]

demul is for naomi

And Atomiswave, Hikaru, Naomi 2, Gaelco, Dreamcast and as mentioned CV1000.

I don't think that was his point, rather that support is in Demul.

As far as emulation goes my query would be if a year on is there any progress with the below? Although I understand these things take a lot of time...

i mean, cv1k support was added as afterthought and after long debates. main focus of demul always were sega machines

If you didn't see any difference you didn't actually enable it. It's not enough to move the slider, you must also enable it within the menus there. It requires a restart.

Walk into some unattended prairie or field in summer, after a storm, undress, then run as fast as you can.
Best Mushi emulation so far.

Slightly off topic. Does the iOS port come close(r) to the actual arcade in terms of slowdown?
