New slot system: Good and bad

Post by NotAGoodName »

Welp. As of UME 148u2, there seems to be this awesome new sot based system and as a result a lot of new stuff works, a lot of new features will be coming, and a new problem has been presented to cheating.

So for the good part, Playstation functions much better giving playable performance to what is likely any "modern" computer and controls work. Satellaview and Sufami Turbo carts work in SNES for the most part. And more than likely, we can look forward to functional game genie and (pro) action replay in the future.

The bad part. Games like Sonic 3 and Knuckles are now converted to a combination that relies on a slotted software list entry and cheats for the specific games will be troublesome to manage. This is especially a problem with what used to be sks2, because unlike Sonic and Knuckles (+3), the cheats aren't the same.

Something to ponder and maybe work on for future releases.
Aww yeah. AMD A10-7850K givin' MAME and MESS systems what for.
