Xenon runs slow on winUAE v2.3.2 and v2.3.1

geecab · 16 August 2011, 20:21

No matter what settings I choose, Xenon (the first one) runs really slow on winUAE v2.3.2 and v2.3.1. The in game music is the correct speed always, and at the start of your game when that bloke appears saying "Sector One" it is the correct speed, its just the rest of the in game graphics are really slow.

Just tried it on an older version of winUAE (0.8.22, Release 6) and the same adf runs fine (a little too fast to be honest).

Is there an new option I have missed in the newer versions of winUAE that can help sort the speed out?

Thanks!!

Xenon always seemed way too fast to me on WinUAE before, I suspect it's been fixed. Can anyone confirm this?

Always do following first: Use A500 most compatible quickstart configuration if there are any problems.

(Very) old configuration files generally are quite bad (far from matching real machine configuration) and only works with old UAE versions that have "compatible" (bad) timings..

Thanks guys! I think this is sorted now

On the Hardware->CPUandFPU page I already had "Approximate A500 or A500/A1200 cycle-exact" set. So after what Toni said, I decided to look around a bit more, on the Hardware->Chipset page I found a tick box called "Cycle-exact" which wasn't ticked. Once I had this bad boy ticked, everything worked perfectly!!
