no$gba freezing for 3-4 secs randomly

BennyMars · July 20th, 2012, 06:59

im experiencing random freezing for 3-4 secs. but after the freeze it will go back to normal. it doesn't result in a crash by the way.

so is there a way in the configuration to somehow eliminate that random freezing? i thank you in advance for your help.

i am using the latest no$gba and no$zoomer by the way.

Try opening up Task Manager and see if any other program spikes when these freezes occur.

i just recently reformat my laptop and there is only a few programs installed in it. and im disabling my anti virus too. when i start playing no$gba.

actually after the 3-4 sec freeze, the fps start at 250+fps and then it goes back to normal fps..

maybe there is something in the no$gba configuration that i need to adjust..

Do you hear the fan spinning up at that point?

And no, there's nothing in no$gba that can be adjusted to alleviate any problem like this.

^ok thanks a lot for that very helpful answer. i guess i should stop using no$gba on my laptop and just use it only in my main computer.

Well you never answered my question but yeah that's basically what it comes down to.

The reason I was asking the question is because my old system used to do something similar where it would freeze for a few seconds and during that the CPU fan would ramp way up. This was happening because the processor was overheating. And that's what I guess is happening.
