The past couple days I've been playing NES Megaman 1, 2 and 3 - from beginning to end, while recording in fbneo.
Came across a bug in Megaman 3, the bug happens in Gemini Man's level, and during the "decoy" endboss fight.  The pause menu (weapon-select) becomes distorted (see picture, below).
After digging into the code for a few hours, it's fixed :)

note: that glitchy menu-outline on the good picture below is actually normal (on hw, does the same thing - a game "feature")

best regards,

I found that by disabling vblank wait / dwm wait when doing fast-forward is beneficial, for example: NES will gain 20-30fps more FFWD speed on my lowly i7 machine. 

So - what do you think.  vsync/dwm sync-wait (if enabled) will be disabled for ffwds.  Good idea, great idea or bad idea?

Good idea! (IMHO) add an option to force the disabling of vsync/dwm during the "fast-forward" would be the best solution! :)
In this way "all users" should be satisfied... ;)

Gab75, unfortunately one can only set vsync status when creating the directx device, so the idea won't work.  Oh well!

Seriously offtopic this time!

Nothing like not having power for... 27 hours now., in Michigan.. in February.  yay!

It's not all bad:
Managed to get an inverter today, for free.  Neighbor thought it was a car battery charger, when I told them what it was, they chucked it in the trash.  And I'm using the battery from another neighbor's boat to power dumpster-compy-i7 with my new inverter :)
tomorrow i'll probably take it up to mcdonalds and to charge it up.  imagine that.

In all, it was 42 hours without power *yikes*   But it wasn't too bad, except for the cold in the house.
