the slow down in sc lite

d3v1n · September 07, 2006, 12:13:28 PM

hello guys, i've seen a lot of people saying how happy they are with the proccessing speed of their sc lite, no lag or whatsoever.

However i find some of my games experiencing slowdown, especially GBA games - though all the ds games works perfectly. Most of my GBA games such as yoshi's island and metalslug experiencing slow down most of the time, maybe they are just graphically intense? or it's heavier to run the gba game, i dont know. I wonder if any of you guys with sc lite experiencing the same thing. thanks for the reply

GBA games have always been that way on Supercard. Lite is no different.

My SC lite runs Metroid Fusion *dramatically* slower. Rather than just slowdowns at bosses, the entire game is slow, even when nothing much is going on. Just JUMPING slows the game about 50%. I want to know what the guy was snorting who said Metroid Fusion didn't slow down whatsoever. That's what made me buy the SCL.

Wierd. I just tried on mine. Didn't notice any slowdown much, even at the level 1 boss.

Also have to remember to repatch everything if your "upgrading" from a different supercard, since there is a new patcher. otherwise i wouldn't expect it to be miraculously faster, perhaps just a bit, or at least the same.

The 1st boss doesn't have much noticeable slowdown, slowndown in the later parts of them game is horrendous.

that guy njchris said that.. but I'm sure you're happy with SCLite other than metroid fusion, right? In any case, everyone has always made it clear that Supercard is not the way to go if you are really wanting good GBA performance

Weird I also notice no slow-down is metroid fusion... i do in metroid zero (that's terrible) but not in fusion, not at all.

Try patching it with just 'patch saver' and 'enable save' then drop the outputted rom onto pfpatch.exe, you will need to use the QPC method to backup the sram to mem card manually.
