lol, 30 fps is just the stadium monitor video framerate (check the full post)
it seems have been improved in this DC port

Yeah, the game actually runs relatively well on the Hardware. But that monitor in Luigi Raceway runs bad and looked bad. I don't even understand why is in the game. Was it that much less noticeable on a low resolution small CRT TV?

Not exactly. More it was just a neat trick at the time to have a screen within the game world displaying any sort of live video feed, but not worth the cycles to update at a higher frame rate. Remember, this was the early days of 3D games, and implementing anything more complicated than a static, or few-frame animated texture was novel and bespoke.
