Hi all, I have over the last couple of days been playing around with winuae and i have to say that its really cool and very fast, a bit too fast. For some reason all the games I play run at what would seem to be 100 times faster than on the real hardware. This makes most of them unplayable and the sound/FX just funny as hell. But I want to fix this. Can anyone tell me what may be the problem and how to fix it. FYI I'm running it on an AMD Athlon x2 5000,
thanks

What WinUAE settings are you using? You know that you can
set just about everything on the emulation by pressing F12.
Have a look and try different settings.

Turn Vsync on in the emulator. and make sure your video card's refresh rate is set to 60hz.

Are you using the latest version of WinUAE? If so you should just be able to go to the "Quick Start" section and choose which Amiga you want to emulate. A500 for example and the settings are pretty much setup to emulate at it's normal speed (though I think it defaults to 512k chip ram so for some games you may want to bump that to 1meg)
What games are you playing? You should definitly be able to Emulate at "normal" speed though. It's great if you want to run a super Amiga with OS3.9 and 32bit Workbench though at blazing speeds as well. Best of both worlds.

I never knew about the f12 thing, thanks, I'll try the vsync thing, thanks guys I'll let you know. as for games, I have a whole bunch, but the one I want to play most is speed ball, It was the first game I ever had on the Amiga and I was unbeatable 15 years ago. lol

zsync and refresh rates don't help. and nor does using the quick start settings.

In the processor settings page there's a section about timing, and there are a few potions. The first is fastest possible, the second is fastest possibly but maintain chipset timings, and the third is match A500 speed... That's from memory though so the actual labels could be different, but try the match A500 speed one.
