One thing that has always bothered me about snes emulators is that all scrolling games have this jerky scrolling. I know these games don't run like this on the original consoles and I know that the scrolling and frame skipping is meant to be smooth as a baby's bottom.
For example, Super Mario World on any snes emulator. When you are moving, the frames don't run smoothly. They jerk by as though you are running the game on some toaster. And I have a pretty decent video card and ram (about 1 gig).
No matter what I set the video or advanced configuration to, it is always the same. This ugly jerky frame skipping. Even if I set everything to the lowest possible settings the scrolling is still the same. Imo this is the main reason why some people will insist that nothing beats playing the snes games on the original console. Because the scrolling looks so aweful.
I played this game, Super Mario World on the MAME .134 emulator and the scrolling is just perfect with no jerkiness at all. This is one thing I noticed about MAME. The scrolling is always perfectly smooth. Why can't snes games run the same?
And it's not just Super Mario World. It's every fast-paced scrolling game on snes that has this jerky scrolling.
Another thing I have noticed is that sometimes after I change a video or audio setting on the Bsnes emulator, the game will run faster but will run perfectly smooth for a short period of time or until I press ESC to window the screen. Now why is that?
Yet another thing I have noticed before is that snes games run from a floppy disc tend to run smoother (smoother scrolling) than if they are run from a location on your C:/ drive. Why is that?
Please, can anybody help me tweak settings that would enable this smooth scrolling on the bsnes emulator or any other snes emulator for that matter? I would much appreciate it.
