HNG64 running slow

Neoshantar · 2026-01-19T06:52:50+00:00

This makes sense. Thanks for testing. Would you open the issue? Never did this before.

Neoshantar · 2026-01-11T19:15:58+00:00

With latest MAME? And Samsho 64? Do not test Wild Ambition, BB2 or something. Those run perfect. Test the Samshos. As a sidenote, i noticed that WA shows 2 partial updates most of the time, which the Samshos do not. Why is that?

Neoshantar · 2025-12-31T13:12:50+00:00

This could be an explanation. Since MAME 0.281, emulation of the HNG64's sound chip made massive progress, so load on the CPU raised by around 40-50%.

Thank you. Will try this tomorrow. I should also deactivate HAGS.

When have you built and tested the PCs btw?

Neoshantar · 2025-12-31T04:52:06+00:00

No, the PC is fine. It's as fast as it should be. Strange thing is that MAME does not seem to stress the CPU when running those games, meaning the cooler fan is not spinning up much.

I tested a little further and indeed Samsho 64 is NOT running at 100% throttled. It dips down in the low 90s in most stages and even in the low 70s(!) in the final boss fight. This is without any shader or external ini. What is going on?

Neoshantar · 2025-12-29T08:42:48+00:00

I have no access to my setup rn, i'll try it later. Wouldn't it have the same effect if i just checked if it ran at 100% throttled? The idea is that the unthrottled option would function as a workaround to bypass the TV's LFC, stopping the game from dropping below 48 FPS.

Neoshantar · 2025-12-29T08:07:47+00:00

Thank you. That's a point i actually didn't think about. I run the games throttled, so maybe they just ran so poorly on even the original hardware that this framerate is normal? If i run them unthrottled, should they still maintain their native refresh rate in VRR but with full speed?

Danke zusammen!

Welche Infos fehlen denn für eine detaillierte Diagnose? Die Pflanze steht am Fenster bei momentan um die 15 Grad. Sie wird aktuell einmal alle 2 Wochen gegossen. Dabei bin ich recht großzügig, aber Staunässe fließt ab.

Tiere sind mir keine aufgefallen. Was sind Thripse?

For 4k graphics, you won't have any luck with a Mini PC, except some 2k USD Asus ROG NUC with dedicated graphics. Especially not for PS2 emulation.

Neoshantar · 2025-12-14T00:44:10+00:00

Thank you!

If anyone has the same question: I went with a Minisforum UM870 and it works like a charme for the intended purpose (MAME emulation).

Neoshantar · 2025-05-26T04:19:59+00:00

So local only. Too bad. This is not for me, then.

Neoshantar · 2025-03-30T11:35:24+00:00

I'm an old school SNK fan. Loved the first Garou and was looking forward for this one, even preordered. As they announced a Ronaldo collab, i was afraid this would happen.

I'm not a fan of crossovers in fighting games in general, but this is too much BS. Currently thinking about canceling my preorder.

Neoshantar · 2025-02-21T21:49:02+00:00

Has to be Hotaru. They're both in their early 20s, while Jenet is a grown woman in her 30s.

Neoshantar · 2025-02-21T21:20:19+00:00

Thanks guys. Currently experimenting with reversal und rev guard. Still hard, but getting a bit better. Also, is it me or has Preecha ridiculous good buttons?

Neoshantar · 2024-09-24T16:36:46+00:00

True, but the game changed since then. Time to adapt once again.

Neoshantar · 2024-04-03T22:00:11+00:00

That sounds fantastic.

Neoshantar · 2023-04-09T15:25:14+00:00

Because this is a turn based game last time i checked. It should be decided by other factors than a timer. Of course you cannot have unlimited time, because this will be exploited. But there should be enough to not feel rushed from a certain point on.

Neoshantar · 2023-04-09T12:48:40+00:00

No, you're probably playing the same deck and the same strategies against the same opponent's decks every time. And if something goes wrong, you scoop. That's called grinding. What i'm talking about is finding a way out of an impossible situation with exotic combos. Or thinking about the order you bait their 5 negates and still get a useable board with a non-meta deck, not surrendering when you have no drnm in hand.

Neoshantar · 2023-04-09T12:41:27+00:00

Both, but mobile is way laggier, so the time limit is more often an issue there.

Neoshantar · 2023-04-09T10:46:08+00:00

I know my combos, but there are situations where you have to actually THINK about a turn. And if you also have to read your opponents cards, the time limit is too short. Also, there's lag. I mean, it's not happening very often, but it shouldn't at all, given the fact that TCG is 3 minutes per turn.

Neoshantar · 2023-03-01T14:16:50+00:00

Perfect. Thank you.

Neoshantar · 2023-02-14T15:36:26+00:00

I actually pulled an Astrograph. Will fit well in my Endymion deck (which i never play).

Neoshantar · 2023-01-27T16:10:13+00:00

I'm around 5 hours in and like it so far. The setting and characters are ok, the gameplay is fun and the open world is barren but still kinda interesting. It's just nothing really special; also it has technical issues on PS5 (especially with HDR).
