Keyboard typing delayed heavily.

Post by vtnwesley »

Hello,

My problem is as follows. When I use ZSNES v1.42 Win32, and I type anything in a dialogue box (for example in the fields when setting up netplay or in the text field in the bottom of the Windows used to open roms), the text crawls to a slow after the first 4-6 letters and delays heavily, taking about 10-30 seconds to catch up. Aside from being a pet peeve, it tends to make chat in netplay near impossible. I do not know why this is, or how to fix it. Has anyone else come across this issue? It seems to do it virtually no matter how I have the emulator setup. I use this emulator on three different systems all of which have the same issue.

Machine #1:
Intel Celeron D 2.66Ghz
512MB DDR2 - 533Mhz
Intel 945G based motherboard
Integrated Intel Media Accelerator 950
Integrated Intel HD Audio
Windows XP SP2

Machine #2:
Intel Pentium III 733Mhz
192MB PC100 - 100Mhz
Intel 810e based motherboard
Integrated Intel 810 graphics
Integrated Intel audio
Windows XP SP2

Machine #3:
Intel Pentium 4 3.2Ghz w/HT (Northwood)
1GB DDR - 400Mhz
Intel 875P based motherboard
Radeon 9800 Pro All-in-Wonder
Audigy 2
Windows XP SP2

I just tried the latest WIP, and it seems to have cleared up the issue. However, "Netplay" no longer seems to be an option (intentionally so). Does anyone know what is up with that? Oh well, thanks for the advice. Just goes to show you that paying attention pays off. I just as well assumed 1.42 non-WIP was the latest greatest because I usually try to avoid anything with words like "in progress" or "beta". My mistake.

Netplay is removed until they find time later to re-do it.

Cool. I liked the feature. I'd be upset if it were gone forever. I do see their point though. I used to (a long long time ago) play ZSNES netplay all the time (when the original Athlon XP was concidered highend). Recently I had tried again but with no way what-so-ever of actually making it connect. I was kind of baffled, but figured I had just made a mistake with those pesky network settings. Perhaps it wasn't me.
