How do I run a playback so the game runs in the same speed as it would on the NES? If I set it to 100% it's way to fast, but 75% seems a bit slow. How do I get a realistic speed on the playbacks?

maybe he's at battletoads level 3. danny, do you own a real nes? can you really tell that fceu is running too fast, or are you going by memory? in-game clocks are most of the time unrealistic anyway

Maybe he's european, and is used to PAL speeds?
I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

Yes I have a real PAL NES and SMB 1,2,3 are slower on the NES than on FCEU. It's so much you can directly feel and tell the diffrence, it's like everything is on turbo on 100%.

Ha ha, I guess you've been playing the games too slow all these years! ...Or maybe you just haven't been using the correct region mode of FCEU for the right games. If you're getting (E) ROMs, you may want to try checking the PAL Emulation option.

>Yes I have a real PAL NES and SMB 1,2,3 are slower on the NES than on FCEU. A-ha. PAL games run at 50 Hz. You probably have NTSC games (60 Hz) for your FCEU. They are labeled (U) or (J). Get games labeled (E) and you will get the speed you are used to. Sometimes you have to tell FCEU to use PAL emulation in the menu.

Did NTSC games run faster than PAL games on the NES too?

Not just NES, SNES, Genesis etc. up until current gen, running in 60Hz on a pal system wasn't even an option, in current gen its only an option in some games, and I'm not even sure if that's across all 3 systems.

>Did NTSC games run faster than PAL games on the NES too? That depends, actually... most of the time the games just run slower. But some programmers took measures so that the game would run at the same speed on PAL. For example in Super Metroid, Samus moves a bigger distance every frame, so that in 50 frames on PAL she moves the same total distance as 60 frames on NTSC. I think the Sonic games do the same thing. I don't know what the situation is with current generation systems.

Yeah, but oftentimes they compensated the wrong amounts or didn't compensate at all. That's why it's generally better to play a game in the region it was originally designed for.
