Yes, I'd read about autofire being used and have seen it being used in videos, but I don't know how to use it. Can someone give me exact instructions about how to use it. I've read that when "Max Speed" is used, it can autofire up to 30 times its original speed, so when I use max speed, I die, because the game is too fast. How in the world do you use this cool feature?

Click Config, and then Key. Check off the box next to the button you want to put on autofire.

And the "max speed" setting can be found in the "emulation quality" tab in the input settings. However, if you use the 60 fps patch and run the emulation at 5% speed, you don't need any autofire at all because you can control the buttons much more precisely and easily as fast as the super speed autofire. This might be considerable sometimes.

I thought you said the controls become unresponsive below 30% speed? Does the 60fps hack change all that?

I thought you said the controls become unresponsive below 30% speed? It depends on exactly what you mean by unresponsive. In order for the emulator to react to the button presses, no matter what the speed is set at, the button needs to be pressed down while the frame is switching. Edit: I usually play at 15% speed when making speed runs, and I've never had any trouble with the emulator not responding, I just need to make sure the button is pressed down long enough.

Definately, though unresponsive isn't exactly the right word like Michael pointed out. I would say that using 20fps at slow speeds takes a lot of patience. But quick actions (such as firing or jumping rapidly) were impossible in 20fps without turbo. With 60fps it can easily be done. In my new Megaman 4 video I don't use turbo but it looks like I do.

At least now I can see exactly how and when to use which controls. At 20 fps, it was very difficult to do anything at slow speeds.
