Adjust cpu speed slider in WHDload config

markpage · 08 October 2012, 00:20

Hi all, I am currently using 2.4.2 Beta 11 which I have personally found to be perfect for my Amikit installation. However, I am having issues with Amiga 500 games running a little too fast making them unplayable in most cases, I was wondering if there are any commands I can use with "uae_configuration" in my WHDload.prefs file to not only slow the speed of the cpu on load, but return it when aborting game. I currently have these lines in my WHDload.prefs file:-

ExecuteStartup=uae-configuration cpu_speed real max cachesize 0
ExecuteCleanup=uae-configuration cpu_speed max cachesize 8192 comp_trustbyte direct

The first line used to be enough in older versions of Winuae but not anymore. I need to drop the cpu speed -60 to make the A500 games playable again, and return it to max for my Amikit installation to run OK.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I guess the difference is that newer version's approximate cpu speed is more like A1200 if CPU is 68020+. Previously it was always A500 like which didn't make much sense in higher CPU modes.

cpu_throttle is the config option.
