Kirby Superstar lagging during certain scenarios, any fixes?

Post by Omnom »

For example, let's say I have a Waddle Dee as a partner, and he uses the spinny beam move that generates that funnel of blue beads. Whenever this happens, and I do pretty much anything (even sometimes when I do absolutely nothing) the FPS drops like CRAZY. The lag is starting to get unbearable, so I was wondering if this was a common error, if this happened even on the original console, and or any other situation, and if there was a fix. I had it for the SNES, but it's been so long I can't remember how anything works, so I came here. Sorry if this is in the wrong area, I saw "troubleshooting" and that's usually where I go in circumstances like this.

Can't say if the lag is different in ZSNES but Kirby Superstar definitely slows down a lot sometimes on actual hardware.

Kirby Super Star is an SA-1 game, so there is no point in complaining about possible bugs in it, as outlined in the topic AoL linked to.

You could try out SNES9x in the mean time for this game.
Try out CCleaner and other free software at Piriform

I agree, it's an excellent alternative until Zsnes gets updated.

Who, me? Oh, no, I creep about the depths of the forums while you're all in a deep sleep. I also prowl outside your houses at night....no one told you I did that? I have pictures too, you know.

Forcibly left, huh? Don't remember why or when, I might need something to jog my memory....*plays Snes9x*.

How many months did you spend bugging them to make sure it was safe to switch emulators?

Approximately eleven months, seventeen days, two hours and five minutes, if I recall correctly. That would be well over 30,000,000 seconds.

Less than a year, huh?
I guess you HAVE learned something since you left.

So it would seem. I'm surprised, too :shock:

Nope, sorry to disappoint. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go and play Assassin's Creed 3 while praising My Little Pony saying it's the best show in existence.

Say, do you remember a time when I wasn't treated like crap? That's okay, I don't remember either.
