WinUAE too slow charging games on Window Vista

j_sntos · 30 January 2012, 16:39

Hi guys, i recently installed winUAE on my laptop running with Windows Vista OS, but it seems that the program itself charging all the games too slow and even when i exit the program it takes so long do do that operations. Is there any seetings or patches that can fix this. I'm using the latest version of WinUAE 2.3.3. Thanks Guys

Specifications of laptop especially memory size please..

I've used Winuae under vista and it was ok, vista is rubbish tho...

If I remember correctly WinUAE have long start and exit if you don't choose your sound card but something generic like "default sound output".

Only possible answer is: "Your hardware, drivers or PC sucks" without seeing log files

(both winuaebootlog.txt and winuaelog.txt)

With my C2D 2.4 GHz Vista lappy I didn't find anything noticeable in WinUAE performance.

Christian · 31 January 2012, 16:02

sounds like lack of RAM to me (specially with greedy ole Vista)

Hi Mclane, my laptop specs are:

Laptop: HP Pavilion dv9700 notebook PC
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz
Memory RAM: 4,00GB
System: 32bits

I don't know how to solve this, hope you can help me...

The only options I noticed that might slow startup of the emu is having allthe sound plugins enabled as they enumarate. I have OpenAl and portaudio dissabled. Having them all on adds a second or two to the startup of the emu. on a slower machine, its probably longer.

j_sntos · 31 January 2012, 16:24

Hope the attachment winuaebootlog file helps Toni, can you see which problem is.

What about that stupid "Shadow copy / cache". Worst feature ever, that slows things up as its constantly backing everything up.

With the specs he has, it should run 100% perfect.
My Laptop runs Fullspeed fine.

I have;
AMD Dual Core (64Bit) 2.2GHz,
Radeon HD3200 1024MB RAM,
4GB System RAM.

Spose the only thing that could let it down is the GFX card,
wonder what card he has.

Christian · 31 January 2012, 18:04

Aye, you on about the over-agressive "Pre-Fetch" thingy? I think there is a way to turn that off which is supposed to help. Can't remember how...

Would have thought pretty much any gfx card is up to the job these days?

OP - is the harddrive light on when things are taking their time?

Mad-Matt · 31 January 2012, 18:10

Superfetch,Windows Search and ReadyBoost can be dissabled in Services.msc. These were almost mandatory to dissable in Vista if you wanted to get on with using the machine instead of waiting for the os finishing doing what it wants.

Main problem in vista is that it would try to preload anything and everything you had ever used (games/emus/mp3s/vids ect..) and certainly didnt need them preloading everytime computer was used.

Much more refined in Windows7 and no need to dissable, although I think there auto dissabled for me having an SSD drive anyway.

Toni Wilen · 31 January 2012, 19:02

Stop. Pointless random suggestions help no one.

Arnie · 31 January 2012, 19:40

j_sntos · 31 January 2012, 19:48

Arnie · 31 January 2012, 19:50

Have you tried setting the Cpu Emulation speed to Fastest Possible?
