BizHawk is a multi-platform emulator that we've recently discovered. It has scripting capabilities that let you easily display additional information, which is very helpful for debugging. I wish we found out about it years ago. www.youtube.com/shorts/hSQ7h... #sgdk #megadrive #segagenesis

In SGDK, compound sprites might use more CPU due to reasons: - Number of VDP sprites - Number of tiles in the anim frame - Compression method and src GFX itself It all might cause sprites queuing (your anim is postponed by frames), too. A simple benchmark could help u find the lazy anim frames.🤛
