Metal Slug Anthology PSP question

[Anayo]

I have a modded PSP with a Neo Geo emulator on it. I use it to play Metal Slug 2.

It looks great, but the framerate goes to hell when there's a lot of stuff at the screen at once. Other than being a little annoying it's totally playable, but I do wonder... is the framerate any better on the official Metal Slug Anthology game for the PSP? If so, I might consider buying it.

Not really, the frame rate dips pretty badly on the Anthology also.

I would consider the Wii or PS2 versions instead. The PSP version really suffered from various technical issues.

[Anayo]

I've got the PS2 version already, I just thought it'd be really kickin' to be able to play it on the go. Maybe I will have to wait for the PSP2 or DS2 to do that though. XD

[VincentX]

Or a portable fully powered Neo Geo.

[Anayo]

Why stop with that? I want a working handheld Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn too.

The framerate issues on the psp may be handled by boosting the cpu speed to 333mhz .

Yeah, I've played MS1, 2, 3 and X on my PSP and not had any significant slowdown issues. I do run mine at 333mhz though. Try putting frameskip to 2 or 3 frames. That should allow you to keep the response high without impacting visual quality too much.

[Anayo]

Thanks for the advice. I'll try fiddling with the clock speed and frame skip settings on my emulator. Then I'll post and report how it went.
