PJ64 lags when going into fullscreen

Ozzy · December 30th, 2001

Every other time I go into fullscreen, the game becomes very laggy. What's worse, it stays that way when I switch back to windowed mode. What's up with that?

My specs are overkill for pj64: P4 1.7ghz, 256mb RAM, GeForce2mx 32mb, and DirectX8.

mmmm is normal to lag on the switching... but after a few seconds it should stay at the same speed as window mode.

although I'm not 100% sure if it's really running at the same speed even though it looks smooth. Cause in full screen you can't see the fps counter anymore. But for me games seem to be smooth in window or full screen

1024x768 window
1280x960 full screen

both 32-bit

It's not like the framerate had dropped. The game runs at normal speed but stutters every second

Tick the "large compile buffer" box in the rom settings options (settings>roms settings)
that might help.
