Eternal SPU is eternally slow .. :(

**NickK** · November 4th, 2001

I find it kind of sad that this plugin is so slow... Why Iori? Why?? (I'll stick with his v1.4 plugin from now on...

)

**Raziel** · November 4th, 2001

Well,it will be faster if you set reverb on black instead of gray(but the reverb quality will go down a bit.)
I'm lucky enough to not be affected by the slowliness of this plugin(Thanks AMD,thanks

).

**NickK** · November 4th, 2001

Yeah, the plugin is of good quality, but don't you think it's a bit crazy that you'd need a GHz processor to run it nicely?? Seems a bit wrong to me ...

**Raziel** · November 4th, 2001

I don't think you need a GHz machine,I run ePSXe in 1280x1024 in 32 bits with Eternal SPU at something like 200/300 fps without the frame limiter(maybe slower sometimes).

**NickK** · November 4th, 2001

It sure doesn't run very nice on my near-GHz machine

It works perfectly here on my pc... and it's not that great...

Duron 750mhz 128ram Voodoo2 12mb 800x600

**Dark Watcher** · November 4th, 2001

Same with our 733mhz Pentium 128meg RAM TNT2
Works very well...
Not all games require reverb..so gray works well...Is it specific games that you experience this? or all that you have tested?

wehen you say its not that great are you talking about crackling? cuz that meants its running slowly

**Snake785** · November 4th, 2001

For me, speed is perfect but the sound is really crackly.

[edit] I raised the sound buffer to 35 and now its not crackling anymore!!

The sound is great too!

**Raziel** · November 4th, 2001

For me,speed is perfect,and the sound is perfect too(well,except in MGS,but Pete's SPU works with this one

).

**NickK** · November 4th, 2001

Comparason:

NextGL v1.5 and Iori Lite v1.4 (defaults/reverb) - Trap Gunner Menu - ~58FPS

NextGL v1.5 and Eternal v1.0 (defaults/no reverb) - Trap Gunner Menu - ~30FPS

Almost a 30 frame difference! How is that fast? :P

who wrote that nextGL plugin anyways?

j/k

**Raziel** · November 4th, 2001

I guess it also depends on your sound card,what's yours?
Also,here are my settings.

**NickK** · November 4th, 2001

It's not like I'm faking values. Try it yourself sometime

**Snake785** · November 4th, 2001

I tried NexGL but I can't save my settings. When I play a game, the display doesn't come up but I can play the game. It does go very very fast though so I guess thats a good thing

.

**Shadow Lady** · November 4th, 2001

yeah for me is so sloww... I prefer Ioris 1.48 Spu all life
