@pickles,
Actually, it got faster and faster, then it got stupidly slow, and now it *might* get faster to a point where it was 5 years ago sometime soon... thanks to the hardware MFGs playing about with stuff
my old Mario3 clone ran perfect on my old intel onboard celeron system, but it actually suffered from slowdown on my newer AMX XP system after I put a 6800 graphics card in. The performance is the same on this dual core, with a GF7600 card.
I don't know why they took some performance out there.
Anyway my M3 clone wasn't written too well- thats the only reason you SEE the slowdown, but its caused by modern GFX cards.
