Slowness in emulation.

[OverlordMondo]

Hi everyone, I never post here. Anyway.

 

I tried running Parasite Eve a bit ago, but it was slow as hell. What reasons could there be for it being so goddamn slow? Could it be the CD-Drive? It's a pretty old drive, doesn't even write CDs (might not even read them ), so I thought that might be contributing, but I don't know for sure, that's why I came here.

What Emu Are You Using? And If Your Card Is +64MB And You Use Direct3D It Should Be Going Fine.

Define "card".

 

Define "Direct3D".

Card = Video card

Direct3D = a way graphics are displayed on your screen

 

What plugins are you using?

 

Post your system specs here please.

Try Pete's OGL2 Plugin + Eternal SPU Audio plugin.

 

But then again, if the game is still slow, get a null audio plugin (= no sound) and try again.

 

My advice is not to use Software GPU plugin's since they are slower, although some games look better with that.

You can use Direct3D or OpenGL. I use D3D.

Alright... I have an Athlon XP 2600+ for the mobo. And a Radeon 9600 for the GCard. And I am using Pete's something something D3D driver. So Direct3D is being used, yes. I'll try again later, no time now. New Years drunk now.

If It Doesnt Work Try Getting A PSX Game Image Then Mount It, And If That Doesnt Work, I'll Trade You Computers, Cuz Mine Works Perfectly.

[Xeon]

or try Pete's older (DX6 and DX7) D3D/OpenGL plugins.

And, it worked fine. It turns out there ARE some issues with not reading the disk gone/fast enough. But the slowness is gone. Thanks for the help! (even though you didn't change anything )
