Title: DK, MAME and CPU usage
Post by: naujoks on February 17, 2019, 04:14:21 am

I'm playing DK on my laptop with MAME, and the CPU is firing on all four cores, fans galore, to the point that the CPU is throttling, which makes gameplay a little sluggish and made me end up with a barrel in my face because a split second maneuver didn't work out due to the sluggishness.

Is there any way to reduce the CPU load?

I suspect your video uses the cpu rather than a gpu ..... probably need a gamer type laptop with a dedicated gpu...
probably cheaper to buy a nintendo switch and run DK on it or setup a retropie....
