Games on my C500..

[Guest FonZi]

Hey ! ;)

I have this problem, when you hold down buttons in a game it lags like you wouldn't believe ! Iam talking about PicoDrive and Doom.. And its only when you keep pressing a button, like when you are running in a direction in doom, it lags.. but as soon as you release the button it runs fine !

I believe this has something do to with my rom, as this is happening in all games.. Do you have any idea on what i can do about this ?

Thanks !

Hi

I've remarked that too. And i think it doesnt depend by the ROM. I've also seen that lag in the original (romanian) ROM and also in Qtek 8010 ROM.

However, if you redefine your keywords from the rocker to numeric, ex:

up - numeric key 2

down - numeric key 8

left - numeric key 4

right - numeric key 6

it should work without lag!

But in this case you would not be able to use the softkeys simultanly with the numeric keys, as you could with the rocker. (eg: you cannot shoot while you are moving)

You can use the rocker in combination of the softkeys (the two buttons in the top), but when you redefine your keys to the numeric ones you will not be able to use the softkeys simultanly... I hope you understand what I am saying..

I've tested this in SmartNES. It has an option to reconfigure the keys. Donno about PicoDrive since i haven't tested it.

Also you can try to disable the keys sound (from profile , I think is system sound) and i think it will work a little better in some games (Wolfestein3D), but I'm not really sure about this..

I don't know why if you use the rocker in games creates that lag.... Maybe someone will explain..
