Optimisation for a games machine...

[darkmark327]

Windows inexplicably uses it anyway, even if you turn it off.

sorry guys but this is crap,it won't give any performance boost to anyone. i don't think turning everything off is worth because of 1 frame per second gain.

you need good pc for new games,tweaking everything with software is not that good.

lame.sorry...

Not a nice way to say it but it's true. Testing it with any benchmark program will give you the same results with or without the tweak.

But personally I think it was worth trying it, good job!

What CajunFox is doing is incredibly useful. I have tried it on three different machines, and it is excellent for machines with less than 256MB of RAM. Obviously if you have a 2GHz processor and 512MB+ of RAM, this program won't be for you. ;)

[Piepke]

Could you please test it with a benchmark tool please? I'd love to see some results on older machines. You never know I might need it for another computer one day...

[PeterClark]

nice idea guys, but I wouldnt want to start sorting the RAM out for XP for it, that'll just cause problems.

Making a program to kill certain processes/applications is very easy though. Using batch and VB you could have it set as a keystroke etc etc.

Using the hard drive to emulate RAM when you run out...but it's thousands of times slower so it's to be avoided like the plague.

hahahahaha, i have 2GB of ram, and paging turned off :D sooo true

Another Thread Digitized.

Okay I can see a lot of people are having problemss understanding the RAM thing, I use the program, love it and have given it to all my friends. This program is cool and it isn't even the final version yet, it's just bare bones...

okay as for the RAM thing, I've studied several OS architecture and the following statement is true. "Page file is slower than volatile RAM, and does slow the computer down considerably" BUT, you have to understand how paging works, I'll explain, if for example you are running an SMTP program and you are accessing the SMTP from paging as apposed to primary storage (RAM) then obviosly it will be really slow, BUT in this case what the program does is Turn off all the services and processes, THEN it flushes the unsed programs (which at this point might be 10 - 15 megs ONLY because you just stipped XP to its core) into paging making a lot of room in RAM, this DOES NOT slow down the computer because you are now playing a game not using the SMTP. If you were to use the SMTP then obviosuly the computer will be slow. In this case, this rule does not apply because windows does not need to access paging for any other program. My english is a bit poor so sorry if I made too many spelling mistakes.

If you guys play a lot of console games using an emulator and have low ram (less than 512) then you guys will notice a big difference. I use a lot of emulator games like PS2, Zinc and without this prog I can't do anything.

I will talk to cajunfox and see if i can post a screenshot of the tool. He is bit busy to do program but someone else is completing it now.

[Anthony_gas]

okay here are some screenshot, cajunfox is on msn right now so those who have his email can chat to him. also looks like its gonna take some time the hosting server crashed and killed off the cms cajunfox had, now he needs to start looking for hosting and cms so beta testing and bug reporting can begin, until then please be a little patient.

This is a shot of the alpha stage, i used this for over two years. The new program is very customisable.

[Anthony_gas]

Screen 2: main game load screen, you can now save configurations for different games.

[Intelligen]

so where can we download this program?

[axis]

From a batch file to a full blown application, freakin wonderful. This looks to be a very useful thing, great job guys.

[DigitalFreedom]

I can host it...

[Aiwa]

I been following this thread for a while

hope this app is going to be released some day

seems to be really usefull :D

[Intelligen]

Ya me too!

[pmh]

I would be more then happy to host it aswell. Hit me up at [email protected]

[pmh]

any clue to when this will be out?

[matt74441]

No idea when its out, but it looks like theres more than enough people to host it (me included).

[pmh]

Always good to have mirrors tho. :happy:

[Premgenius]

I can host this file for you PM me with you username and password and i shall give you a FTP account

[.Atlantis]

I'm able to host it also, started the program off, might aswell host it :p

[CajunFox]

Wow I like the look of the program. I just want to say that I'm not the developer of the program, I did initially come up with the concept but I'm the worst programmer in the world. The guy who is working on it is can be contacted here [email protected]. I'll let him know that there are plenty of people who will host it. :)

[Yuxi]

I can mirror it too. :p

MSN: [email protected]

[pmh]

Any more news on this?

[darkmark327]

The news is that we have plenty of mirrors, once there's an actual program.
