Too close for comfort? the revival?

[Nasirosuchus]

After comparing it to youtube vids, it seems to me that the speed is pretty near 100% accurate. Is it perfect? No, of course not, but it's good enough for anyone who doesn't know or who isn't particularly looking for it, and that's pretty much all that can be expected, especially at this point.

Thiers no hardware slowdown emulated so how is this near 100%?

I didn't word that accurately. I was talking mainly about speed. There are still graphical glitches(the jellyfish things in level two, for example), and it's not just with Futari, either. It can't be 100% accurate anyway because, well, there's no sound.

I'll edit my post to reflect what I meant so that people don't think I'm a senile old man.

I don't think anybody was really making a big deal about the missing slowdown but it'd still be nice to have it especially for the sake of comparing scores.

Yeah i dont mind too much, I mainly want sound because its annoying playing in silence.

Just play the OST in the background.

By the way, speaking of Mame and stuff, what the hell did they do to/touch on RayForce/Gunlock/Layer Section? The sound and framerate is all crappy and choppy and it's been like that since last year. Perhaps there is something I'm missing, especially with people going gaga with Cave stuff and forgetting all the other shooters

edit: Also, all the technical info on how the PCBs output music and such sounds interesting. How old is this hardware in terms of overall technology and capacity?

[Ex-Cyber]

i thought that slowdown would occur naturally as it should on the real hardware if the hardware is emulated accurately and without tons of shortcuts (i know nothing about this though, so i apologize if this is way off)

That's correct in principle, but things like cache hit rate, variable memory and I/O wait states, and bus arbitration can make it very tricky to get it right, and most emulators only try to approximate these effects. They can depend on complex timing interactions that are very time-consuming (both in developer man-hours and in CPU cycles) to emulate.

[RNGmaster]

Huh. I got MMS's latest build to work and Futari won't run at over 40% speed. Is it a hardware problem on my end, or can I overclock it to run faster?

very interesting. nothing's ever simple with this kind of thing!

[Chaos Phoenixma]

Someone should TAS Ultra Larsa like what was done with DOJ Hibachi. Aki's final too.

[Udderdude]

No, TAS Mushi Ultra TLB final pattern. For 5 minutes straight. >_>

[Slump]

Newer 64-bit build

Thanks for the build I get tired of waiting for mame to compile all those damn files. Saving me some time here! *Raises beer in general direction*

[RNGmaster]

I could if I was willing to spend 1.5 hours getting there.

[BPzeBanshee]

I'll compile a new build when I can get on the computer next (thunderstorms nearby).

Also OMG GUWANGE MATSURI VERSION! OREOS!

I wonder if someone will dump mushihimesama matsuri 1.5....

[O. Van Bruce]

This is just so awesome... I've been dying to play all these game for SOOO much time.

I have been playing almost all night this games...

Just how much time would you need to implement the sound?

Can I start dreaming about playing Daifukkatsu and Akai Katana soon?

[Tyjet]

Boy it would be nice to play Deathsmiles MBL on my laptop.

Whats the romname for that guwange btw?

Dohoho

Also, austere and I have been playing Blue for probably a year in MAME now. :V

There are still graphical glitches(the jellyfish things in level two, for example), and it's not just

Please expand on this, graphical glitches are unexpected at this time.

In the original Mushi Futaris (not Black Label), there seemed to be some colored blocks "ghosting", if you will, behind some of the jellyfish. There was also a line in the left center of the screen right after the first level boss bursts through the "forest" and begins his first attack. It goes away shortly thereafter. But then again, I was using the 32-bit version at the time, so that could be it.

[xMetalliCx]

if someone wants better speed - check this build (64bit).
http://www.sendspace.com/file/flqwws
it uses multithreading for blitting, and works much faster on scenes with a lot of blending, on multi-core CPUs of course.
