The PC ports are pretty good, even if they are just.emulation. I thought they were kinds shit at first due to massive lag in some areas. Later I found that original hardware lagged that much. Fucking unbareable in one level that had yetis and an ice cave. Thought my fucking overclock.was failing

I think I know what's going on, the psp native resolution is 480 x 272 which is slightly stretched from the Neo eo's 320×224 and that's why you're seeing improvement.

Those anons are saying ups-calling shouldn't affect 2D games at all as long as you are using a multiple of the native hardware resolution. The Neo Geo emulator included in Metal Slug Anthology is (probably) doing a slight screen stretching to match the playstation portable screen which is why you're seeing an improvement.

Yes it's called overclocking the cpu in MAME, the slowdown is a non-issue. 2's excessive slowdown was also fixed with a fan patch
