Hi,
Lately I bought quite a few classic Sega PC games while they are still affordable:
-Sonic CD (The “rare” dino2D release, which is the most common one here in Brazil)
-Virtua Fighter PC
-Virtua Fighter 2
Believe it or not, Sonic CD ran well on my Slot A Athlon 750mhz (thunderbird) with Windows 98, for me the major drawback of this release is that it runs at 30fps, something that can be fixed by using the debug mode and setting the framerate to 60. Another issue was that the joystick refused to work (well, it DID work, but it kept pushing left, tried with a gravis gamepad and a sidewinder gamepad, same issue) so I had to use a keymapper program.
Virtua Fighter 2 also ran quite fine with the D3D patch and framerate was also stable at 60fps, the Sidewinder also worked beautifully with it.
Then there is Virtua Fighter PC… the game runs ALMOST perfect, it runs at 30fps (which is how the game should run), but there is an issue: The game starts the first round incredibly fast and the speed stabilizes after a few seconds.
Then the speed stays stable until I lose a match. After I pick a character, the game starts really fast again for a few seconds (enough time to the CPU kick my a** and win the first round sometimes), and stabilizes again to the correct speed at 30fps.
Does anyone knows if this problem can be fixed? Any suggestions on what I should try?
Thanks as always.
