sirlynxalot Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I've been playing wolfenstein a lot lately, and I've found that if you are in of the areas where there are a lot of enemies and you shoot them so that there are 6-10+ bodies on the floor, not only does it slightly make the framerate choppier when all the bodies are in your viewing area - but during these times, the music gets subtly wonky. For instance some of the synthesized instruments seem to go slightly out of tune, some get staticky and/or low volume.Maybe this is super well known, but it took me a little while to figure out this is from the software program getting more processor/mem intensive, and not just some dirty contacts or bad caps in the cart or my system.

Rick Dangerous Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hadn't noticed this, and recently beat this game on Jag. Will have to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) It's bus contention, the DSP is fighting for supremacy over the OP/Blitter/GPU/68000 - and losing Commenly known in the Reboot Inner Circle as 'ah feck, its sounding underwater again!' Play it in VirtualJaguar, you won't have that problem but during these times, the music gets subtly wonky.

Best way to get the effect is to get lots of bodies/sprites into your view area, and then slightly spin the view to the left and right.
