Ok last time replying and I promise I'll try to do something else constructive in this forum. :-) Anyway just to let you know I was trying some other emulators, and as shitty as it might be, SNEeSe runs like a champ, 1024x768, full sound, all day long at 60pfs. Now I'm not saying that it looks or ru...

*UPDATE

Completely did a fresh install of windows xp. Plenty of space, Plenty of ram.

Zsnes runs no faster than it did before.

Looks like I'm stuck unless anyone else has an idea.

Hello again. I now have 1 gig of ram installed in the little Toshiba beast, however, zsnes (btw i'm too stupid to learn the name of the emulator) is still running dog slow. I'm almost ready to admit defeat, but I have one more option that I should have mentioned. I'm running this laptop in a Novell ...

I see what you're saying odd about the peak being close. I was planning on getting more memory for this thing anyway in about a week. We'll see if that helps. Also to the last reply, I have my laptop plugged into the wall to test all these things, so the power-saver stepping doesn't apply until the ...

Thanks for the replies guys (or gals). More memory could be needed i guess. To answer above, yes I've checked for spyware/viruses (See previous post).

Ok well, here's my Performance Tab:

CPU Usage: 0%

Commit Charge (K)
Total: 352588
Limit: 1278792
Peak: 438952

That help any?

Lol, yeah I guess I did word my video card wrong. But yes, like I said, some games actually run fairly well considering. It's definately not a bad laptop, and it was free on top of that. I just wish I could get zsnes (or any emulator) running correctly at this point. Hell, I'd settle for a smooth 30...

CPU usage stays at 0-1%. Commit charge is pretty small. Turns out my video card is actually a 16mb Savage S3, so there is no "Shared ram" Here's my DX diag txt as well (shortened a bit). ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 4/15/2008, 18:05:47 Machi...

I see, well this laptop does share the video/system memory. I could see how that would affect performance. However, my parents have a shitty old compaq PC that has an even worse onboard video with half the ram (also shared video) with an old 800mhz celeron and I can still run the emulator just fine ...

Help me understand why.

I'm running the new zsnes v1.51. I've been a long long time user of zsnes (and emulation programs) in general, and I've never really had a problem. However, I'm running this on a laptop that should be by all means capable of running at full speed. Zsnes skips, chops, and slows to around 18/60 on ave...
