Hi guys, I just bought a gamepad and I thought it would be nice to play all the good ol' nes game on my comp. I use the latest FCE Ultra but I have a big problem, the games run way too fast! And so does the music. I havent made any changes to the default config except to config my gamepad with it. I also tried with Jnes and it's still the same. Everything works perfectly with ZSNES but I want to play NES too :(

edit: games i tried was Ice climbers, Metriod, super mario bros 1 & 3.

Maybe is your computer processor or the frameskip? :confused:

My processor is an AMD Athlon 2000, probably a bit too fast ;p

It doesn't have to do with processor, but emulator's timing. Check the timing in FCEUltra.

Try to play a bit with the video settings and video sync options there (wait for VBlank, Lazy wait for...VBlank). Perhaps FCEU it's in sync with your screen refresh.
