Eternal SPU plugin is slow, any way to make it faster?

Boco · November 13th, 2001

I have a p400 256mb ram v3 3000 use petes 1.54 soft plugin with fps limit set to 200
the eternal sound plugin sounds a lot better than the others, however it slows down dragon warrior when using it, any way to make it faster by changing certain settings? or is it just the low mhz of my comp?

maybe if you disable reverb

Change the Sound Buffer size , you'll get more speed that way !

ok, what shall i change the sound buffer size to? more or less? and to how much exactly?

paste from Eternal SPU Plugin Official Manual

2.How to most light CPU usage?

"XA buffer size" ...anything
"High resolution mode" ...OFF
"Wait for XA buffer is free" ...OFF

Hey boco, i was playing Dragon Warrior with the Eternal SPU plugin but it was really slow so i decided to switch to the Iori's DirectSound Driver 1.4 with is running great, there's a little hissing sound thou but i prefer that than to loose 30fps, and i really needed those 30fps because i was under 60 something i'd get 30-40 so being in the 60-70 helped alot.

hey, but that problem was solved in the eternal 1.1 spu, it happen only in the 1.0 version which mantain high resolution checked all time, but now is solved, the eternal 1.1 spu, is as fast as Iori´s spu

Weird, the version i was using was the new 1.10 version and it was still slow so i decided to switch to Iori's plugin, I kept the same settings for both and i still had more speed with Iori's.

I'm not sure if Dragon warrior works with lewpy's plugin, but if so, you could try to use that instead of the soft plugin. you would gain precious performance using that v3 of yours
