IS there any way to make it go at a decent speed? I'm using the 2.6a version of NO$GBA and have tried turning off the sound like the sticky suggested, but it didn't change anything. Anyone got any tips?

if you mean normal speed then change it to auto realtime

 

[silver-crescent]

"16.78 MHz realtime, auto"? It's already set to that but it still goes pretty slow :/

Your system most likely is just not strong enough.

 

[silver-crescent]

Aw so that's it then. What a shame. Well, thanks anyway.

What's your pc specs. Have you tried unlimited disaster 10%? or any o the others?

Which specs are important for this exactly? My graphics card is pretty old, it's a Nvidia 6200SE Turbocache... what else is important?

And what is unlimited disaster 10%? I've never heard of that :|

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

CPU that's the only thing that's important, how strong your processor is, almost everything gets handled by it, the graphics part plays a tiny role (unlike with PC games) and basically just having a DX9 card is enough. RAM also plays a role with bigger games but anything 512MB and above should be safe.

As for Unlimited Mhz Disaster 10%...it's an option in the emu, it speeds things up by increasing the frameskipping meaning both smoothness and sound tend to go out the window so it's not really all that helpfull.

 

[silver-crescent]

Well I have more than enough RAM, so I guess that that's not the problem. My CPU's speed is 3GHz... and to be honest I don't really know how to find any more info about it :dead:

 

[ozzgx4]

You're not running any programs in the back are while playing the game?

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Hmm, if it's 3Ghz and speed aint that great then I would guess it's an old Pentium4 which is just not as efficient as all the newer processors.

I've played FF Tactics A2 through already, and this on my very old Athlon XP2800+ with no slowdowns at all. It must be something else then.
Any Anti-Virus software running in the background or any automatic Backup-, Defrag software?

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

The old Athlon's were more efficient than the old Pentium's.

 

[BinarySlave]

The old Athlon's were more efficient than the old Pentium's.

True in some way... but my XP2800+ only runs with 2GHz stock.
The "2800+" means that it runs equally fast as a Pentium 2.8GHz.
(yes, it was back then with all this marketing nonsense)

So, a Pentium with real 3GHz should run faster than my XP2800+.

Edit:
And my XP lacks SSE2 which the Pentium indeed has.

 

[silver-crescent]

Actually I did have some other programs running, like msn messenger and an antivirus and stuff, I'll try turning those off and playing with those settings you suggested BinarySlave. Thanks for the help everyone

 

[maximoom]

this is strange cause my processor is just 1.9ghz and handles it really nice.

 

[Pi-One]

My PC is old (PIV 1.7G), and I got only about half speed in battle.

 

[silver-crescent]

How do you get the "3D renderer" option to show up? My emulator doesn't have it

That was Defunct. the numbering scheme actually refered to an Athlon (Thunderbird) of that Mhz.

Then you are using a version older than 2.6, download the latest free version off the official homepage.
