[FEATURE REQUEST] Sega Genesis Overclocking (and perhaps others)

Open Blackgrowl opened this issue 4 months ago • 4 comments

Hello, one thing I have noticed that almost every Genesis emulator misses is the ability to overclock it. More specifically, to emulate an overclock, after all you're actually not overclocking the system itself, you emulate it...And you also emulate the overclock.

Genesis is powerful, but sometimes it needs more "juice", same with NES, SNES and so on.

I can give an example of a game that would benefit with overclocking; Ranger X. In Ranger X, when you start the game and destroy one of those big holes that spawn enemy robots, there will be quite a slow down after the explosion.

Of course, also adding the ability to emulate overclock on the other systems, be it also Sega CD and 32X or NES and SNES that this emulator also emulates, would be nice.

I would recommend to take a look at Mesen to see how they do overclocking emulation for their NES and SNES.
