Winfellow alpha 042 build 1 DirectX 5 speed problems...
I recently did a M/B upgrade to a Intel 815EP chipset based M/B Celeron 900 using my Diamond TNT-based AGP video card ,updated with relevant later DirectX 7 & compatible video drivers. (& a fresh install of Windows 98 original version.)
I think I finally managed to get the sound functional Winfellow choosing 16bit 44khz sound & Original filtering. My Winfellow settings match my desktop settings of 16bit color & 800x600 resolution, but with sound enabled things are positively crawling on my Celeron 900. I know they're no P4's but I would've expected at least some decent speed. Note, with the sound switched off WinFellow is racing along fine- I played Super Hang on & it's literally too fast with sound switched off. I don't have any hard-disk files setup, I just prefer using straight ADF's in Winfellow, any thoughts on enabling Sound & getting a decent frame rate?? |

Sounds like somewhat the same problem I have with WinUAE. If you have the oppertunity try to change the graphics card to an older one to see if that does any difference. I think it might be a sort of conflict between the sound card and graphics adaptor. Strange though. I have that exact problem with WinUAE but have no problems whatsoever on Winfellow. How is the sound buffer set up?

Drake, the GFX card is actually an older one-it's a Diamond Viper card based on the old TNT chipset. I carried it & my Soundblaster 64 PCI card over to the new M/B. Despite my legacy DOS driver NOT working or being inialized in DOS mode ....everything else is functioning normally according to Win 98.
Sorry for the roughness & poorly cropped image, but here's my Winfellow Sound settings.... |

I might be exposing my lack of recent UAE experience but isnt "Stream to Wav" an option to record all Sound to a wav file and bound to grind the system to a halt?

Yes Stream to wav streams the output to a wave file. Winfellow does this nicely though. Last time I used it was on my 133 Mhz with 32 MB ram running in DOS. Even though the game was choppy and the sound choppy it came out nicely when I tried to run it afterwards.
Hmm seems your motherboard is to blame. Just as mine is probably partially to blame for the troubles I'm having. |
