Supermodel Forum

My assumption is that this is not a bug. The game was never meant for the resolution you are running it at, so it probably used simple triangles that would preform well but be hard to see at the standard resolution.

I upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 5 5600x. This fixed the flicker and can now run Supermodel at full speed.

Also, this exclusively affects the new renderer.

GTX 1070

And it seemingly restarts at random. I have no idea what is going on.

GPU driver update did the trick it seems. This does seem to completely remove the prior issues with flicker at lower refresh rates. That being said, I do believe this is a positive change because games like Emergency Call Ambulance were crashing at the old default.

Seems to work fine on my mini PC, I guess I should update my drivers

Just a heads up, the flickering issue that this seemed to be the solution to seems to not have improved. In fact it may have gotten worse on my setup. I will test on another setup to make sure this isn't just my system. Despite that, this is still a win for arcade accuracy.

This strange issue is tied to the refresh rate of the PowerPC emulation. When running at 60MHz, the game runs at full speed but has black flashes. When run at the arcade accurate 166 MHz, it runs slow, but the flashes are fixed!

Somehow it got worse. It is now unplayable on the same install. Anybody else have this problem?
