I was getting zero slowdown with DFK in MAME before changing the blitter setting. The slowdown probably isn't entirely accurate compared with PCB, mind you, but I don't think it makes the game easier, at any rate.

It doesn't, at all, which is the problem, because its hard as balls as is.

In order to get slowdown on the wheels (st5) to behave correctly, you have to up the blitter to mid-high 70s. Doing this creates too much slowdown in the rest of the game, so you either get an easier 90% of the game, or a ridiculously hard 10% that happens to matter a LOT for score, and happens to be the hardest part of the game as is.

Other than slowdown the game runs fine on my machine, but the slowdown really makes it different.

But, yeah, as said, don't want to be that guy. I will participate either way, and I will have fun either way. :) Just want to be clear on the rules beforehand.
