Games lagging/sound repeating?
« on: June 12, 2005, 10:25:20 am »
I was playing checking all of my roms to see how things were going and the only problem i had was with Golden Tee 99 and 00 and one of the new wrestling games (Big Tornado or something).  Anyway, the sound will lag or loop briefly.  I don't notice much of a hang up in gameplay, but the sound is unbearable.

Here's my current setup, if anyone has any suggestions/criticism.  I'm going to find some other versions of the Golden Tee Roms and see if it's an issue.

Pentium III 660 Mhz
764 of RAM
ATI 9600XT running DirectX 9.0
Win 98SE
Creative Sound Blaster PCI 128

I think that i'll take your advice on this one.  I got the computer for free, but spent Probably $350 upgrading the RAM and the video card.  I'll leave it as is and then just throw my home computer into my cab once i feel like upgrading it.  That's way down the road though.

GT plays ok, it's just the sound and a small bit of lag.  My drunk friends can put up with it (and my marquee says no complaining!)

Thanks for the help.  I appreciate it

Would it be worth it to install XP and then modify that down as much as i can?
