Slow down computer for dos games




















Q How does throttle work? A Throttle enables power management bits in the chipset to control CPU clock. Any chipset that conforms to the ACPI advanced configuration and power interface specification has a means to enable and control the throttle. The intended purpose of these bits is to provide a means of power savings, typically utilized in notebooks or other battery powered devices.

When the CPU is in a throttled state, it uses less power. It just so happens that a throttled CPU creates a perfect environment to emulate the performance of an older generation CPU! Why isn't it supported in throttle? A Probably because I don't know about it. Because the ACPI specification can be implemented in different ways by different chipset manufacturers, it's impossible to create one generic program that works with all ACPI compliant hardware.

This creates the problem of constantly updating the internal database of known hardware. So far, the biggest problem has been finding the documentation for known ACPI compliant chipsets. Adding support for them is the easy part! You may also be using an older version of throttle. Contact me for the latest. Q Can I have more speed options than just the 8 or 16 provided? Throttle provides you with as many different CPU throttling options as the chipset allows.

The ACPI spec only defines 8 different modes, each one VIA technologies has taken the spec 1 step further and allowed for throttling on 6. If you want to run oldskool games, get a VIA motherboard! There's nothing I can do to change the available options, and no further options will be available unless the ACPI spec changes. Must have been a typo all along.

AddedCheck to see if user is running in dos protected mode, rather than if user is running under windows. Somehow it had been removed. Might be better compatibility, might be worse. Email me if it breaks for you and we'll try and work something out. To change the amount of delay in this program, you must edit and recompile the source. It emulates a processor so by default it already runs "slow".

It also has another use Each DosBox session will consume host processor cycles just like any other slowdown utility. It has "1. Conversely, if your "number" after running MIPS was 0. Just run it and you'll see what he means. MoSlo - Mo'Slo is used to slow a specific application or batch file. PentSlow - It disables branch prediction and the v-pipeline, maybe even the internal cache.

There is one drawback: To speed up the system again you have to reset the machine. Still, any hardware slowdowns are more preferable to software, so it's listed above for your perusal. SLO - This slowdown program version 1. It also has an annoying nag-screen delay. It allows you to set the "slowness" of your PC, has an uninstall from memory option, comes with text file documentation, and has several other features.

Thor's Hammer: The Trilogy Inconsistent in-game speeds turning around and opening doors very slow P3 reduce clock speed or disable CPU cache Toonstruck Speed bug with one or two puzzles? Reduce clock speed or disable cache with Setmul Vette Sometimes doesn't start on a P and if it does run controls are too sensitive?

Al Unser Jr. Arcade Racing Runs too fast P? Atlantis: The Lost Tales Animations are too fast, and audio can get out of sync in cutscenes. Use DXWnd to lower the framerate so that the animation speed is better. Audio may still get off sync sometimes, though. Gex: Enter the Gecko Lack of framerate limiter may cause the game to play too fast in certain situations?
