Response to Tourney 4 - The randomizer is in!

I have no real problems with the speed of CPS-1 games (SF2, Pnickies, Magic Sword). SF2 is the slower of them all, mostly due a faster CPU than regular CPS-1 games and also line-based scrolling (ie: the floor). For me, on a P2-233MHz w/ 64MB RAM, I get an average of 30fps, usually dragged down by slow palette fading, and the extensive palette (ie: it overflows) used on Balrog's on SF2. During normal play auto-frameskip gives around a fskip of 3 or 4 - perfectly playable. Of course 233MHz is considered bottom of the range these days, just barely enough for new games. I pity anyone that still has a 486 though...
