On my Inspiron 2200, Most games ran at playable speeds, especially with No$WTT. Processor was 1.6ghz and it had 512 MB Ram


so now on my msi u100, which has the same 1.6ghz and even more RAM, the emulator runs so much slower, making almost all games unplayable

they're both No$GBA 2.6a, anyway to stop this and at least get back to the speed I have on the Inspiron?

Different CPU. The Wind has a 1.6Ghz Atom which is a garbage CPU for anything other than light web browsing, or maybe emulators up to PS1. Are you trying to run DS games or GBA games?

 

[kidisnice]

DS games. So basically even though they're both 1.60ghz, it can still vary from comp to comp? v_v

 

[tom_mai78101]

Actually it varies from the power of different types of CPUs in different computers and laptops.

Yes just clock rate means little, architecture also plays a role, for instance a 2.2Ghz Core2Duo will obliterate an old Pentium4 even at 3.2Ghz and that's in apps which use only one core so dual-core VS single core does not enter into it.

I have Pentium IV 2,6, 500MB of ram and geforge 2200 and iseas 2.6 work very well. I use also No$wtt and enable Turbo option.

Disable filter, extra options etc..

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

That 2.6Ghz Pentium4 obliterates his 1.6Ghz Atom. Seriously there is no solution for him, netbooks are simply too weak for CPU heavy emulation like DS emulation.

 

[dmdm]

Not true, I have a 1.6GHz Atom and I can play DS games just fine.

Did you tried ANY 3D GAMES, like Pokémon P/D/Pt and other games which uses 3D? xD

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

This way or that a 1.6Ghz Atom is weak, the weakest computer processor currently in production (granted cellphones and some other eletronic devices use even weaker ARM processors but they don't qualify as computers...yet anyways). It's purpose is not computing power like most other processors, it's purpose is to give you access to the bare essentials like a little web-browsing and word processing with as much battery life as possible and in a small convenient package.
You don't buy a netbook cuz you want power, you buy a netbook cuz you want a small portable system capable of letting you use an Office program for as long as possible.
Anything you netbook users get above what I mentioned is an absolute bonus and not something you are entitled to as a netbook user.

Not true, I have a 1.6GHz Atom and I can play DS games just fine.

what are your settings and what addons do you use then?
Because the 3D games run SLOW, playable but slow

and Desmume is just outta the question

 

[Lex_Light]

I think that he's playing ONLY 2D games.

 

[just_in_deed]

I have amd semprom 1.8 Ghz

1.5 gigas in ram

nvidia Ge force 6150

and I'm able to run all games at full speed

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Some people are lucky with weak components but it's not the norm...and I doubt you have tried 3D intensive games like the Pokemon 3D ones...even my much stronger AMD Athlon64 3700+ (2.1Ghz) chugged a little when running those.

 

[just_in_deed]

I have tested Assassins creed bloodlines 100% speed fps

mario kart ds 100% speed fps

dungeon riders 100% speed fps

today I'm about to ugrade my presaio v3217LA procesor from semprom 1.8 GHz


to AMD Turion 64X2 TL 60 2GHz

lucky me

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

As for as no$gba is concerned your new processor will barely be any stronger than the old one.

 

[just_in_deed]

maybe but I have better plans for my new processor concerning the emulation topic

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

if those happen to be PCSX2 or Dolphin then you will still be dissapointed. Rather save up for an entirely new system.

 

[just_in_deed]

dont be so sure right now I've posted a new thread for PCSX2 0.9.7

and with it I'm able to play Marvel vs Capcom 2 PAL up to 50 FPS

and also with my actual pc specs I'm able to play marioparty 7 up to 37 FPS

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

256x256 is smaller than my cellphone screen and certainly no way to play...but whatever man it's your money to waste and it has nothing to do with this thread
