Apparently it has something to do with the sound chip, probably streaming sound effects. I'll look more into this.
Which slow down are you talking about? Just general slow down when there are a lot of objects on screen at once or something more specific?
Slowdown in general.
This morning I patched it to skip over the routine, and there wasn't even a difference other than the slowdown disappearing.
I've never noticed any slowdown in that game
This game has as much slowdown as Super Ghouls and Ghosts.
Okay, I found out that the game over screen uses it for Yoda's voice, and it doesn't allow me to continue until Yoda's voice sample ends. Now if there was a way of only getting it to work during the game over screen.
Care to share what routine you patched out that eliminates slowdown? So others can try it out? I've played the game recently and am aware of the slowdown problems.
So you're saying this eliminates the slowdown?
