#96 Bubble Bobble 2 (Runs Slowly)

[Kalle Kloak]

Nice to see it now loads and even has much memory
availabile =)

Sadly it does not run smooth like it does on PC. Could
you check this out please.

Bubble Bobble 3 (Memories) also loads now, but it shows
an error:

'Error backing up data
Push test switch'

or something like this. It looks like it's the game that
says this and not the emulator. I was wordering if this is
something that could be fixed too.

If these 2 games worked 100% I will be the happiest
MAME fan ever ;)

Regarding speed:
My guess is that your PC is faster than a 733 celeron. Most
likely there's nothing that can be done in the near future. You
could try disabling sound, as that seems to make a difference
in other games (like Mortal Kombat).

Regarding the error:
My guess is there's an input called "test switch" that can be
mapped from the MAME menu. Press BACK+WHITE in the
game and go to "Input (this game)." Try mapping anything
that looks promising (test switch, service switch, probably
something like that). This game doesn't load in debug mode,
so I haven't been able to try it out.

The speed issue is probably a limitation of the 733MHz processor. Bubble
Bobble 2 has slowdowns even on my Athlon 1800 XP system.
