I am running the newest version of desmume and playing castlevania order of ecclessia. My issue is that sometimes when I start up my PC and put on desmume, it tends to go slower than normal. The FPS is still 60/60, but the % is like 45%-49%. I can hear that the music is much slower, and the gfx are slightly slower. But other times, when I start up my pc it runs flawless. Changing EVERY setting you can imagine seems to do nothing when it goes slow. INCLUDING shutting off sound.
Yet if I uncheck limit framerate, the game runs REALLY fast with no issue. at like 100 FPS. So my PC is definitely strong enough to handle it. Heck I can run DMC4 & SF4 at once no issue. But even setting frameskip to max has NO effect. Changing sound quality does squat too. I have also noticed that sometimes Epsxe & PCSX do the same thing sometimes; the music runs half speed, the gfx runs slightly slower, but I am still at 60 fps. And once again if I undo limit FPS it goes VERY fast with no problems. These 2 programs I know for 200% sure should run flawless on my pc because they normally do. This trash just started recently.
Can someone tell me how to fix this? I have defragged, tried different settings in the emulator, disabled things in msconfig, and nothing changes. It seems to be random. I even set my RAM settings back to normal rather than turbo (since I have my dual core CPU overclocked to 3.6 ghz) but it doesn't change anything. I have noticed that when I have this issue, if I shut off my PC, wait a minute and put it back on that this SOMETIMES fixes it.
Here are my specs:
WinXP
Newest version of desmume
Intel e8400 dual core running at 3.6 ghz
4ghz ddr2 800
motherboard gigabyte: ep45-ud3p
