60 fps
I hear there's a way to get this to run at 60 FPS through a config file change. Anyone know how to do that?

_____I FIXED YAR'S REVENGE for the PC. Well, I fixed the day-one version that the Atari dudes sold to me. What, you want me to fix YOURS too? You want me to come over to your place, draggin' my sixty-pound toolkit through some HOT, MUGGY weather and work my greasy claws to the marrow...just to make YOU happy? Hah, dream on! Why don't ya fix it yerself? I got the recipes right here. Now get to work:


-- To deal with the BROKEN CONTROLS IN STAGE 2 and beyond, you have four options:

1. Use a 360 controller EMULATOR for FREE:
http://code.google.com/p/x360ce/downl...

--A little irony for ya, I use a 360 controller emulator with a usb-to-ps2 controller thingy. Essentially, it's trickin' my PC into thinking that a ps2 controller is a 360 controller. Confused? Too bad! All that matters it that it works, dang it.

2. Buy a 360 controller. Use that clunky thing 'till it wears out.

3. Buy the XBLA version of this game, then go play it on your 360.

4. Wait for the PSN version: Buy it, and play it.

--Course, ya gotta wait fer Sony to fix up PSN...someday. That also means I can't play Tekken 6 against that local creepy Goth chick 'till then...grr.

-- To RUN IN FULL SCREEN MODE with a resolution of your choice, do this:

1. Open ...Yars Revenge/win32/AppSettings.ini

2. Under [Renderer.Win32], set the "ScreenWidth" and "ScreenHeight" values
to whatever one wants. For example, I use this setting:

ScreenWidth=1280
ScreenHeight=720


3. Find the value "Fullscreen." Change it from 0 to 1. Do it like this:

Fullscreen=1


--Now I suppose you'll want to run this thing in 60 frames per second (if your system can muster up the power to do so). I have NOT FULLY TESTED THIS TWEAK. So use it at your own risk.

1. Find and open ...Yars Revenge/win32/config.ini

2. Set "MaxFrameRate" to 60.

MaxFrameRate = 60

--If yer feelin' brave, drunk, or a combination of the latter and the former, crank that sucker up beyond 60 fps. If ya live to see what happens, come back an' tell us.

Well if changed the 60fps for the initial playthrough but now it keeps crashing on fullscreen. I take it this can't run on windows 8+ because I played this on my 7 Lenovo Laptop with 512MB of VRAM fine.

Well it works "fine", - assuming that "fine" is an acceptable expression for a game that needs .dll-copying and .ini-editing to run at all - except that I accidently pressed my Windows key and that caused the game to crash.

I didn't need to do anything when I played it on my old laptop. It ran perfectly. I made assembled this computer though and it has a lot more VRAM and RAM and clockspeed is higher, blah blah blah, as compared to the 360 so it just crashes instead of working.
