Hey all,

i recently bought this game and it is running way too fast, making it unplayable. I am using ubuntu 16.04, Nvidia Geforce 840M, Intel core i7-4510U, 8 GB Ram.

I tried reducing my monitors refresh rate, but the game is still very fast.
I will be very thankful for any help provided. Please just keep in mind that i am new to the Linux OS and i am still learning how to utilize it correctly.

Anyway, thank you in advance.

Best Regards

Thank you for the suggestion. However, OSX version of this game is not included on gog :(. Thank you one more time and if you have any other suggestions, i will be happy to try them out :).

edit: my mistake, there is .zip (ROMs) file inside the linux installation.

cheers

So i found sort of a solution. The Zip file included in the LInux version on gog is not working at all with the MAME emulator. Since I BOUGHT THE GAME and it was not functioning properly and after consulting myself with the support (the gog employee was very friendly, but sadly could not solve the problem, due to some technical specifics on my end) and asking for help on the game forum, i managed to find a Zip file elsewhere on the web. This file is working perfectly with the MAME Arcade Emulator. The name of the file is slightly different than the name of the one provided within the gog version. I will not name it here, since i am not sure if it is moral or/and acceptable.

so that is that. The game is Running smoothly now :P

p.s. Thank you etb for the advice and for pointing me the emulator. Now i can enjoy the game thanks to your help :P

I finally bought this game too, and I manage to make the gog files work.

This is what I did:

-Downloaded the OSX version, it gives you a file called king_of_the_monsters_en_gog_3_12082.pkg

-It says .pkg, but actually it is a xar file. bsdtar opens it without problem.

-So in a temp directory: $ bsdtar xf ../king_of_the_monsters_en_gog_3_12082.pkg

-This are the file inside:
Resources/license.html
Distribution
package.pkg/Scripts
package.pkg/PackageInfo

-The file "package.pkg/Scripts" is actually a gzip file. Once again bsdtar opens it.

-So again in temp directory: $ bsdtar xf ../package.pkg/Scripts

-There are many files, so I will not list them. But among all the files, there are two you need:
payload/Contents/Resources/neogeo.zip
payload/Contents/Resources/kotm.zip

-Copy this two (or only kotm.zip if you have neogeo.zip already from other games) in ~/.mame/roms

-Delete all this tmp files and play with "sdmame kotm"

I leave this here in the case it can help somebody else.


Edit: I checked the Linux version, and the kotm.zip file and neogeo.zip file are there too. Why they did not work? What version of Mame do you have?
