Terrible Speed775 LGA

[dogulation000]

Okay, I'm going to need some help. When I run this emu, the FPS drops to around 10. I want to know if my system specs are the cause of this.

Here they are.

Processor info:

Name: Intel Pentium D 805
Code Name: Smithfield
Package: Socket 775 LGA
Technology: 90 nm
Voltage: 1.208 v
Specification: Intel Pentium D CPU 2.66 GHz
Core Speed: 2676.3 MHz
Multiplier: x 20.0
Bus Speed: 133.8 MHz
Rated FSB: 535 MHz

Memory Info:

Corsair 512 MB PC2-4300 (266 MHz)

Video Card

Geforce 6800 XT 256MB DDR2

I want to note the only serious problem I have is speed.

There are two things:

Get a powerful computer

or

Wait for the speed to improvement, that's all. :)

EDIT: It was already mentioned in the desmume threads.

Video cards still doesnt make a big diference on desmume.
Its all CPU power by now.
Why do you ask? Theres only a CPU Interpreter, so its bound to be slower than a recompiler.

Current versions are quite slow, due to several reasons, some being worked on (http://forums.desmume.org/viewtopic.php?id=11). Wait for new versions, as until now focus has been on new features and not speed.

I do have a fairly powerful computer; the question is if it's powerful enough.

I ask because I think I'm doing something wrong, but having no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've tried tinkering with settings-nothing seems to have worked.

Well considering that it runs about the same on PC's slower than yours I doubt you need to worry about your PC. Your graphics card is decent aswell, ram is a bit lacking but it should be fine.

Listen to shash and stop worrying.
