Um...I ran bcdedit through "run" but it closed quickly.

do it via task manager instead, if you click show processes from all users button you get a run as administratir check box in the task manager File>Run dialogue

It still went by quickly.

Â

Do I run like this? "bcdedit /set useplatformclock true"

Â

Even like that, it ran by quick.

Â

EDIT: Btw, the BIOS already says that HPET is enabled.

Bios might say it is enabled, but windows will still use TSC's 3Mhz clock by default.

Â

the HPET clock is 14.3838mhz

Â

you can use WinTimerTester1.1 to see if its set to the HPET timer, changing the platform clock setting requires a restart though

Query Performance Frequency is 25.00000MHz.

Â

What the hell does this program even do?

Â

EDIT: nevermind, figuired it out. Operation was succesfful. PC feels a bit faster now, though it could be my imagination.

25Mhz is the main clock generator on a Athlon X2

on these processors this clock can adjust with the rest of the processor frequency so application performance can be out of whack as the clock rate changes.

Â

with HPET enabled, it should be running at 14.31818

Hmm, well things feels smoother and faster now, don't know if that fixed anything though. What version do you recommend for linking? The problem I have with VBA M is it doesn't store settings for 2 separte VBAs.

only vbam 1030b is link capable, the person who implemented linking in that has been missing for some time

Â

his version of vba-m relies on the fact you should be using input 1 for the first instance and input 2 for the second

I think I'll stick with the one from 06-07, just because it stores settings for more than 1 emulator.

Â

But the advice you gave me seems to have helped speed up Dolphin some. And my PC as a whole, so thanks. Guess you're not so bad after all, considering how many forums you got banned from lol :badger:

Yes, only this version works for me.

But the link is very instable.
