Description

As stated above, i'm trying to play the PAL version of the game, as its my own game dump. Yet the PAL version runs really choppy, while the NTSC rom runs flawlessly. Any idea why?

‘GFX Plugin’ is set to ‘angrylion’, ‘RSP Plugin’ is set to ‘parallel’.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the PAL and NTSC versions of Mischief Makers with the angrylion GFX and parallel RSP plugins, then compare their behavior. The issue names no source files or tests, so locating the relevant emulation path will require investigation. Done means identifying and correcting the PAL-specific choppiness without regressing the working NTSC behavior.
