adu Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Ok, I'll try snes9x, thank you for the information regarding how crap zsnes is Yeah, Contra III is a masterpiece for the SNES, hope snes9x will solve this lag. I don't think my specs can be a problem (i5 + 8Gb Ram + 970GTX and two SSD on Raid 0, I can run Wii U games flawlessly but not Contra III ) EDIT : not related to this topic, but I love your system logos, do you plan to do CPS 2 & 3 ? They're missing in my setup Edited January 23, 2017 by adu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, that's where I got started with emulation so I'm still thankful that it exists, but emulation has come a long way since those days. You can run it on like a 300mhz CPU with 32MB of RAM though so...that's pretty damn impressive 24 minutes ago, adu said: I don't think my specs can be a problem (i5 + 8Gb Ram + 970GTX and two SSD on Raid 0, I can run Wii U games flawlessly but not Contra III ) Generally speaking emulation is much more CPU-intensive than anything else - primarily because most emulators only use a single core (some will use two). To run BSNES Accuracy at full speed you need a 3ghz CPU. Which i5, specifically, do you have? There's a big difference between say an i5-7600K and an i5-3330. Your specs should be totally fine for Balanced or Performance regardless though so it's kindof a moot point if you've tried those.

adu Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 It's an I5-4690k, so 3,5Ghz from stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yeah, that's plenty. I have an i7 4770k and it works great for me - the i5 4690k is only slightly slower on single thread performance. If you're still having the issue with SNES9x... you may want to ensure that you're using a good dump of Contra III. If you're using roms from the No Intro set you should be good, but there are bad dumps/overdumps floating around the internet. It seems unlikely that that would cause this specific issue but you never know. I'm kindof running out of ideas at this point. For testing purposes I'd recommend just standing at the very start (no enemies will attack you if you don't move forward) and just pressing down on the joystick/d-pad and then letting go and repeating. That should give you the clearest indication of any latency because the change from standing to prone is instantaneous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adu Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ok, I'll give it a try with an other rom, maybe mine is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
