Has anyone else experienced sudden huge frame rate drops while playing GBA games on their GBP? This has been bugging me for a while, I was just playing Mario & Luigi on it and the slowdown at times was annoying me so much that I quit and started playing it on GBA SP. This makes no sense. I have a PAL GBP... could this be a PAL thing? because I haven't seen many complaints about this.

Every few seconds or so mine will drop a few frames or pause for a moment. It's mostly visible when there's a background scrolling. I've heard it reported by other users, and it's pretty irritating. I've got an NTSC cube, btw.

Did you play in 50Hz?

Yeah that's it, I guess it's not just a PAL thing.

60Hz

Well I noticed that there's some slowdown when the filter option is at "sharp". That's why I always keep it at "normal" or at worst "soft". I have no idea if the PAL version has that though.

every game boy player does this, for every region console. and yes, it's irritating.

I've never experienced any of this slow-down on my GBP (either that, or i'm not easily distracted).

I've never noticed slowdown and I play all my gba games via gba player.

i heard some complaints about this back when the GBP launched, had something to do with games that had fast scrolling motions in them... i dont think i ever really noticed it...
