ASM core and shooters

Okay... I didn't want to have to bring this up, but since I've lost a 1st place to it I'm afraid I must.

m37b8 uses an ASM core. Normally this is a good thing, means speed increases... but in the case of Cave and Psikyo shooters, it causes extra in-game slowdown. If you think I'm making excuses, just compare DoDonPachi from m37b7 to m37b8. Just start firing at the tanks at the beginning of Stage 1 and you'll notice a lot of extra slowdown using m37b8. The Psikyo shooters are even worse, once a lot of bullets are on the screen it practically slows down to a screeching halt.

What I wanna know is, what should be the "acceptable" thing to do about these games? Are we going to accept recordings on versions with extremely noticeable slowdown?

and BTW Vaz, please delete your .nv file prior to recording :P
