Castlevania DOS: intro not playing 100% smoothly

khan · August 16, 2006, 08:45:10 AM

Hi all, I have the following set-up:

SC Lite
Sandisk 1GB Ultra-II
SuperCard Software 2.55C patcher w/ Reset, faster play and whatever option that is above reset tick box.
Firmware V1.63

And still it does not seem to run the video as smooth as some of the videos play on youtube or the one romman released?

Any help, actually its to do with the intro music stuttering or whatever you may want to call it.

Thanks

the intro music gets a bit distorted on my microSd cards too, but it's really no big deal

But i thought Ultra-II would have no prob with the intro, that's why i went for ultra-II rather than standard.

you mean you really care about watching the intro to castlevania? really, i'm just wondering why everyone is so excited about it.

from what i've seen, my normal sandisk performs pretty well on every game, and my 66x kingmax performs excellently, but even if i was stuck with the normal sandisk i'd be happy...

It's not a prob, but i was wondering since people on youtube have intro working perfectly or are they not?

Could it be to do with fast play or something because my brain age also used to freeze on one of the challenge all the time, eversince i re-patched it w/o fast play it now works.

same here for me as well, tried all the trouble-mentioned games...Tony Hawk, Animal Crossing, and Castlevania--everything about them works perfectly.

Yeah same i got SCL with sandisk Ultra 2 1gb...

Movie runs fine but at some point that woman with the whirlwind.The music is gonna glitch or get disorted or somethin.Its not that it really matters the movie runs fine though.But if you are complaining about that its a little bit sad i guess heheheh

My SC also has that issue, CF, very minor slowdown.

But heck, who cares?! I've only bothered watching the intro once.

supercard is still the 1 with the best performance on castlevania intro so who cares all other games are smooth as hell... so

Castlevania intro plays perfect with my SCCF 2GB 60x, and runs slightly choppy with my SCSD 2GB 150x and SCmini 2GB Sandisk. Otherwise regular game play seems to be fine on all cards.

its funny, my intro played perfect and i still ripped it out of the rom, now my copy has no intro no sound and a trainer and is only 14MB instead of 64, but back on topic, it ran fine when it as still there
