Obviously never played n64 or super Nintendo Some NES games ran at 60 fps "Many iconic titles like Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man run at 60 FPS, others may run at 30 FPS or lower, such as Ghosts 'n Goblins , which uses a slower, more complex update loop" Reply

spongiemaster Best case scenario, 5-7% improvement, so typically less, is considered a break through? General rule of thumb is 10% gain is necessary to be noticeable. Screenshot shows 3fps gain. Remarkable, that should really change the experience. Reply

They already have added a lot of improvement to other sections of the same puzzle in the past years. Like 2024 and 2025, where some of the main updates increased perf by average 50%. Reply

It isnt uncommon for an update to give no gains in some titles, and huge gains in others. It depends. Reply

beyondlogic It's good when emulation can do better. Reply
