Fs-uae powersave / performance?
No matter what I do I keep getting the CPU Scaling Governor in powersave - am I missing something obvious to manually put into performance mode?
Thanks, Karyn |

Hi, the warning appears because in powersave mode, the performance on Linux has been seen to be somewhat erratic. You can see this with the Ctrl+F10 overlay.
To get the CPU into performance mode, you can: - Run echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governorin a terminal. - Install the gamemode tool/daemon by Feral Interactive - FS-UAE can use this to automatically enable performance and revert to powersave on quit - Use some other tool, for example "CPUFreq Manager". You can also disable the warning ( governor_warning = 0in Settings -> Advanced in FS-UAE Launcher) if you are not too concerned about getting stable frame rates, or if you feel it works fine on your system in powersave mode. |

Thanks so much for the detailed reply - yeah, I was wondering if this was being triggered outside of FS-UAE - my main concern was that I wasn't getting the 'most' out of fs-uae.
I did as you suggested and all seems to be working well now! Thanks so much for the assist! Now if we could only get MIDI in fs-uae |

There is MIDI support in a pull request, created by @cnvogelg https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fs-uae/pull/209
Plan to test and include this in the upcoming development series |

Great! Anything I can do to help, count me in! Is MIDI support included with the current latest release of fs-uae? I'm not very familiar with git - how would I go about using this? I run ARCH Linux btw. Thanks.

Unless you are a developer, you need to wait until I've made a release with the MIDI support included It is probably still some weeks off...

Glad I found this thread. I've been trying to figure this out for a while. I looked in the GUI, config and didn't see anything relating to governor. But this message always came up. I kept wondering why it always complained about the governor but didn't turn it off by default or give me an obvious option to in the GUI!
