    Default About C64 on the Virtual Console

    Yesterday, I bought Last Ninja 1 & 2 and I noticed that those games run a little bit too fast on the Virtual Console. Are all C64 games like that on it? And is Nintendo planning to fix it with an option or something?

    I think they are the original PAL releases without optimisation now running on NTSC hardware. So technically they are going 17% faster. And no, I don't think any of them are being fixed sadly, Last Ninja 3 is still bugged for example.

    Mayhem in Monsterland doesn't run on my C64 even with the NTSC hacked version. :P

    The emulation is just really pathetic.

    Hopefully Nintendo will fix this because I won't be buying C64 games if they are all slightly too fast.
