I'm sorry but Win98 is cr*p  True! Question to Peter, is it possible to run XX on Linux(I'm sure you already answer it but can't find the topic). I've been trying few Linux OS and music program on them but...didn't like them! Regards, Criss. |

W2K would be an option though ... Criss, no, no Linux. Maybe sometime (when this small part is really finished), but it will really need a complete rewrite. I've heard Linux implementations too, and didn't like them either.  Peter |

Hi Marcin_gps, Hello everybody,
I think I'm gonna try XP one more time - slimmed&tweaked, minlogon etc. I remember I didn't like it some time ago, but now with new version of XXHE, Ramdisk and CPU affinity masks, it could be interesting... Maybe it's not too late and not everyone switched to Vista... haha
XP has one (among others) interesting option - it's called timeres and it allows to decrease 'waitable timer' from default's 7.8ms to 0.98 ms
Anyone using XP and Vista on the same machine?
Greets,
Marcin
I'm sorry but Win98 is cr*p Are these posts related? regards, Coen |

Hi Coen, Related to what? XP and Win98 are not the same, if that's what you wanted to know Cheers, Marcin |

Hi Marcin_gps,
Thanks for the reply. So you tried win98 and disliked it, but still have plans for XP?

Coen, I think the story is a little different; W98 (or ME) is no "OS" as such. It is a toy. Says me. |

Hello, CoenP - I think that Peter made a good point here Chriss, if you want to apply some serious tweaks, go to http://cicsmemoryplayer.com/ and knock yourself out, hehe However if you play in unattended, you might want to skip Chapter 7.3, step 5 (change sheduler time slice), because it sets equal priorities for foreground and background processes, which may be good for attended. Greets, Marcin |

Chriss - too bad, but I highly recommend that you apply the rest of the tweaks. It really works, I tried them some time ago along with cPlay.
Greets,
Marcin

Hi,
Tried those USB polling numbers from 1....5 and without the key at all.
So, it seems, the best is 3. Less and more than 3 sound is more harsh and flat, with 3 it is deeper and warmer, like that.
Ivo
p.s. Peter, my internet connection was a bit damaged (cable was squeezed somewhere) now it is OK, can access this place.

a Indeed, I'm with value 3 for more than week and it's the sweet spot for me too.  (so I'm not crazy ahaha :D ) Marcin I tried them ...yeap I can hear the difference! Hmm about Xp...hmm please try it I think it's not bad at all. I got better mid and high but kind of tiny bass. Still digging! Regards, Criss! |

Ivo
I have also tried the USB Polling regedit and have found it very effective. the sweet spot for me is a value of 4 but its a close call between 3 and 4. I am also using a HiFace so it's interesting that Ivo and my results are converging. Nick. |
