I have this game installed on a Samsung 860 EVO SSD, but you'd never be able to tell when trying to play it. After clicking "Play" from the GOG launcher, you're greeted, very quickly I might add, with the "who made this game" screens, but that's where the quickness ends. Just trying to navigate the menus and settings screens takes absolutely forever! It's almost like the game is reloading the entire game into RAM every time you want to navigate to another screen. It's kind of hard to explain, but imagine playing a game on a PC with barely enough RAM to meet the system requirements, and Windows has to make a page file to make up for the low amount of RAM, and imagine said page file is on a 5400 RPM HD with the slowest seek times in the world! That's what kind of performance this game has on a Samsung SSD, with a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, 32 GB of DDR4 3600 RAM and a 2080 Ti graphics card! All this headache just to emulate Raiden arcade roms that could easily be done with any other emulator on a Pentium 1 CPU from the 90s! Not sure what the devs were thinking with this one.
