mem useage issue.

goku262002 · July 16th, 2007

I was running the E3 demo of sonic rush and i found out that it was straining my memory usage and doesnt even run the demo:

yeah, not that bad... Probably a memory leak.

Anyway to "plug" this memory leak? do should i wait until the next release?

**shashClp** · July 17th, 2007

Which size is the ROM? Does the memory usage keep increasing over time? How much memory does desmume use when no roms are loaded?

Mad · July 17th, 2007

Well 122MB used in desmume isnt much. It really depends on the rom size, as shash said above.

And notice not all games run on desmume, take a look at my sig to find out which ones do.
EDIT: just took a look there:
"Set save type to 64k. Blank screen after new game, music keeps playing"
Tested on latest version.

but there is something wrong with the cpu, 99%? wow desmume eat that amount?

Mad · July 17th, 2007

It eats one whole core.

sigmax · July 17th, 2007

Desmume makes your computer slow

Mad · July 17th, 2007

Actually id love to see it using both cores....

I dont understnad it either because iDeaS can run the same game faster and with less mem useage. the rom size is 64.0 MB (67,108,864 bytes)

EDIT: ive tried 2 other games while looking at the task manager it starts off at 13,000K then once i start the rom it jumps from 13 to 83,000K then 121,000K

Mad · July 17th, 2007

Well iDeaS is a whole diferent program, with diferent programming.
And i dont think 122MB is that much for a DS emulator to use.
And about desmume, its not optimized for speed.

**shashClp** · July 17th, 2007

You're all free to commit patches to the CVS with fixes for speed or memory usage, instead of criticizing.

Clements · July 17th, 2007

For the high CPU usage, DS emulators basically lack the ability for the CPU to sleep when idle to save clock cycles. However, this function only kicks in when you are achieving fullspeed, otherwise the emulator will take as much CPU as possible. Not until DS emulators are full speed in the majority of games will this be an actual issue.

It is to me, i only have 512 MB of ram! it slows down my computer to hell and nothing else including system programs can run. i just dont understand that the other 2 emulators can run roms at full speed sortof and take half of the space?

Let me make it clear that all 3 games that i tried didnt run they just had white screens or some kind of battery issue.

kismayas69 · July 18th, 2007

post to shash of the report you encounter.....

Mad · July 18th, 2007

About battery issues, and blank screens, check the games you have if they run or not on compat list from my sig. Hope that helps...

I don't know what this does even mean, but don't if it something like "report to me, and I'll fix it" it's something that WON'T happen :P

SCHUMI-4-EVA · July 18th, 2007

He never noticed you were actually reading this topic shash...

Anyways 122MB really aint much for an emu....your PC just can't handle it, it's not an actual problem.
