Yeah, I meant less distracting, not more. Oops...
SNES framerates are a bit too low for me. Low N64 framerates (generally mid teens) are fine, but get into the single digits and I don't like it much... though in the case of a slow-paced game like Aidyn or something, it plays just fine at whatever very low framerate it's at in hi-res mode. But that Wipeout XL demo on the old PC we had at the time in 1997 that got single-digit framerates... that was unplayable. Star Fox, Vortex, and Stunt Race FX on SNES really are too slow... I mean, I can play them, but the crawling framerate is very hard to get used to. They're MUCH more fun in emulation, where the framerates are higher. We may have had PCs through the '90s, but I didn't play 3d games that got single-digit framerates much at all, so I didn't get used to it like you did... it was N64 framerates that I got used to, and those are a little higher.
Oh, I don't mind SNES Doom's framerate, though. It's a bit higher than those games I think, and I think that game plays just fine on SNES (even faster emulated, but it's just fine on the actual system). So it varies from game to game.
Quote:I rarely am ever bothered by low frame rates. They really have to get somewhere around 10 FPS or lower before it starts to bother me, and part of that may be from my experience with Star Fox on the SNES and Stunts on the PC, specifically the PC we had at the time .
