The MAME version of this is kind of too fast (which seems to be a common theme with their Exidy games), but I just whipped out the Colecovision and played to 214000 points.
Pepper II is a GREAT friggin' maze game.

I wish that Bruce was still here so I could ask him why.
There is one at Hyperspace.

Re: Pepper II
I have not looked at MAME in years, but, I would assume, one of the most significant setting it has is how far down to slow the emulator to match original processor speeds. I mean, the processors of those arcade games were like what, z-80 at 2mhz? While the average desktop PC is running 3ghz? I mean, a typical Raspberry PI is a quad-core .9 ghz Arm processor, or roughly 800 times the speed of one of those original game cabinets.bruce wrote: Mon Mar 31, 2003 6:34 pm The MAME version of this is kind of too fast (which seems to be a common theme with their Exidy games), but I just whipped out the Colecovision and played to 214000 points.

Re: Pepper II
I have played Pepper II using MAME on a Raspberry Pi and can confirm that it plays at roughly 800 times the speed of an original cabinet.

Re: Pepper II
Huh really? I play it pretty often on the ArPiCade thing and never noticed the speed but it's been a while since I've been to my buddy's basement arcade that owns the real thing to compare.

Flack is making fun of Paul, Jiz.
When you need my help because I'm ruining everything, don't look at me.

Re: Pepper II
Oh. OHHHH haha! Now I see. Bruce's original statement of "The MAME version of this is kind of too fast" totally threw me off there.
