I'm trying to run Sega's Last Bronx in Windows xp but it's running too fast. As far as I'm aware, there's no option to V-sync or anything. I've tried CPU Killer (http://www.cpukiller.com/) to slow the game down but it isn't working that well. It does slow the game, but it is very uneven and not that playable. Does anyone know a better way to slow down the CPU (Dual Core Intel 2.0ghz) or some way to get Last Bronx to run and a normal speed?

On older computers I got into bios and disabled both L1 and L2 caches. That would make a significant speed decrease. But it was bothersome to do everytime.

Unfortunately my bios doesn't give me the option to do that.

You can play the arcade version of Last Bronx in Elsemi's SEGA Model 2 emulator. Here's a video:

Winthrottle was strange. Even at full slowness, the game ran pretty much the same (too fast) but it took slightly longer to load up and such. Didn't really have too much an affect.

I have tried the Model2 emulator but it runs a little choppy on my PC.

Ha.
Go to in-game options (F4) and set "frame control" to "none".

Didn't think to try that for some reason but it works. Thanks.
