sorry to make another thread about my crap cpu ;)

**cooliscool** · February 18th, 2002

ok i have a savage 4 gt pro 160mb ram and an amd k-2 500 cxt (write allocation and lfb opimization on) i use pete's ogl 1.58 cuz it's the fastest, i get great gfx but the speed is indcredibly slow unless i disable Xa read and xa audio enable, (52x cdrom aopen drive latest aspi layer Win98 se) im using epsxe cdr core and eternal 1.2.. the games im tryin to use are megaman x5 and chrono cross. (im not gonna buy more until i get good speed

)

**cooliscool** · February 18th, 2002

hey pablojm i noticed u had the same cpu as me, u get good speed in epsxe??

XA Audio playback in MMX5 gets choppy when the framerate is below 50 fps. This also happens with MMX4. I don't know if this occurs with MMX6.
To get more speed with XA music in MMX5 u can:
1) Use the -noseekinxa command-line option
2) Use the -p 12 cmd-line option. This is good to improve MMX5 XA Audio playback performance, but control response turns a bit slower. Try with other values for -p if u want, but don't use very high values (unless you want to see the movies) because emulation gets slower.
3) If the game is for NTSC, try forcing it to PAL mode.
4) Try using a 2D plugin. They are best for 2D games. I recommend using Kazzuya's plugins or PEOpS.

Hope it can help

Well, it runs almost perfectly on Win98. Sound gets a bit choppy at the Duff McWhalen's stage (this is good for testing!!!!). You can also improve overall performance using a simple sound plugin. I recommend using Seal at 22050Khz Stereo without filtering. Pete's MIDAS is a good alternative.

You can also try with Connectix VGS emu, the MMX Series (maybe other 2D games) run at full speed with K6-2s if your gfx card is fast enough and supports hardware stretching. The only problem is sound latency but the game runs at 60fps all the time.

**cooliscool** · February 18th, 2002

tried vgs, it is SOOOOOOOO SLOW! my gfx card does hardware stretchng it runs at 145/145 mhz.. i dunno, maybe ill format my hd and clean install cuz ive messed around quite a bit with the drivers of my card, lol

February 18th, 2002

Well, hehe, do as you want, maybe VGS doesn't detect your gfx card features. I get better performance for 2D games in VGS than in ePSXe. But VGS doesn't work on WinXP so I need to dual-boot Win98 to get it working.

**cooliscool** · February 18th, 2002

well.. the first thing i tried was emurayden Everything was SLOWW i got the actul VGS and all the mdecs were absolutely perfect, yet in the game it seemed like the frameskip was on 200! :confused: what the???

**cooliscool** · February 18th, 2002

how does dual booting work?? ive always wanted to know what exactly it does and how u do it

**Ryos** · February 18th, 2002

Hoo boy, illegal content in the thread, going way off the topic, and spammish activities.

> how does dual booting work

Do a "search" for dual boot. There are a number of threads already talking about dual booting.

Since this thread violates numerous rules, I'll lock this thread now.
