Well I may have been a little premature when I berated and belittled an innocent Chinese eBay seller due to my suspicion that he sold me a counterfeit MicroSD card. The issue was that it was 128GB card and only had a capacity of 2MB. I bought a totally legit one from Amazon the other day and it's exactly the same. My wait for Rey's image goes on. :dickin:

If you didn't use this before, format your card with this. Keep all the default options:

I did indeed try that. No idea what the problem was. I went into command prompt on another PC and erased the partitions there and re-formatted it. Seems to have fixed it. However I think it may have originally been a problem with my card reader on the PC that the image and everything is on as I couldn't reconnect it. Because I'm a home network dunce, I've spent most of the evening transferring over the zip files via a USB stick onto the PC that the SD card works on. What a faff. It's now writing though. Hopefully have a good, working system for the weekend. :D

If it's Rey's image, look for a channel called drew talks on YouTube, he's got a few tutorials for fixing a few things once you have it up and running

I was thinking more if you wanted to play a new DD but yeah do that too. 2 is fucking solid in the arcade and a right coin muncher unlike 1 which could be done semi easily on a single credit.

 

Give the first 2 speccy versions of Renegade a go too, not sure if any other ports are as good.

I'm sure it had the same slowdown on original hardware.

Really? It's so long since I played an original arcade machine. I can't remember.

 

I think it's because MAME emulates the same hardware including limitations. Anything more than about 6 sprites on screen and it starts to chug a little bit. IT's better than the 4 sprites the NES version would struggle with, though. Renegade and Double Dragon 2 in the arcades had that really interesting 3 button layout with attack left, jump and attack right. I should have a look and see whether there are anyfan translations of the Kunio Kun series from which we got games like Nintendo World Cup, Super Dodge Ball, River City Rampage and Renegade.
