Games Choppy with Amikit
« on: February 13, 2008, 04:50:04 PM »
I've got a 2.4 Ghz AMD, and 512Mb or RAM. I installed Amikit and it runs like water, but the problem is that it seems that no matter what game I'm playing, be it something high end like Payback, or something old school like MYTH, the system seems to pause for a moment here and there making the game play feel slightly broken up and choppy.
 If I boot Myth from a floppy I'm fine, but if it is loaded off hard drive it acts this way. Any ideas?

 This is just strange. I'm using AmiKit's default settings, the latest WinUAE, everything is fine as far as MP3's and all that, runs pretty smoothe, but when ever I play a HD loaded game, it pauses every second or two, no matter how much I tweak the settings, reduce RAM, JIT, etc.

Nothing else in Windows acts this way.

How do I look up this pagefile information?
 Not sure what that is.

Can't wait till AROS and UAE are merged, that's all I gotta say! :)

 Turning that off did not help. My hard drive is nearly all free as I just installed Windows. I am not going to worry about extra RAM as I'm just fixing this for my ex girl friend and am not feeling it in my heart to help more than I need. :)
 In the mean time I'll try to set up UAE on this Mac and see how all that goes.

Thankx for the help!

I kind of figured it a RAM issue, but then when some of the more recent Arcade titles were running smoothe in MAME, I was thinking I should in turn have enough for Amiga, but I guess not.
 Oh well, when I have the money I'll put together another machine for a different OS.
