Emulator Problem: Does anyone play "Blaster Master" on nes emulator?

[sharkteeth]

This is my favorite NES games and holds so many memories, I even own the cartridge but my NES is long dead so i got the ROM. Unfortunately game runs very slugish at certain times, especially on the first level where you get these flying enemies, it starts stuttering, is it because of some problem in the rom i got or emulator? i tried many emulators but all seems same, i tried FCEUX, NESTER, some of the emulators it is worse while others are slightly better nevertheless problem is still there. How do i get rid of this problem? Because i love to play this classic in it's full glory again, any tips? thanks a million friends.

yes I love BM, never had this problem though? It must be something with the system. Dont think it will help much but what are your specs.

I tried it with several emulators on two seperate systems, one is older, other one is newer, but both on windows XP, could it be a problem with windows XP?.

SYSTEM #1
Core2Duo
2GB DDR2
INTEL GRAPHICS

SYSTEM #2
INTEL P4 1.7GHZ
768MB DDR 1
ASUS + INTEL MOBO CHIPSET

Both of them had the same problem, let me know the system you are using and the emulator so i can try it out in my systems.

You should have no trouble with any NES Rom with that setup maybe you are running to many programs at one time.

Do you have this trouble with any other emulator?

Yes, your specs are fine.. Take a screen shot of the exact place where it slows down. Let me get there and try it, or even better do a save state just before and find way for me to down load it.

Funny part is, when i am running emulator on fps mode, fps counter does not go down, Pretty strange ay? only it slows down. I have slow down problems on running stuff like EARTH WORM JIM 2 on SNES emulators on PIV 1.7GHZ system, but that's minor compared to this, and of course those problems clearly show that it is a drop in framerate. , I can't believe it, my old AMD 1.7GHZ ATHLON XP ran all my snes games on 512MB memory, with onboard vga, perfectly fine and smooth.
