GameEx BULKY

highland04:
has anyone else had this problem?!

Goz:
I have GameEx running on a 1.2Ghz VIA mini-itx system and 512MB RAM and doesnt seem choppy at all. Generic onboard video as well.

Howard_Casto:
Maybe this is just me, but it seems like gameEx is more of a media center and less of a front end.  (That isn't a bad thing, I'm just saying.)

I don't think it's exactly built for speed so a fancy skin might slow it down.  Are you doing anything fany that could be causing issues?  (extra large artwork... ect)

headkaze:
Try these two options in the config..

- Tweaks/Performance / Dont Wait for VSYNC : Dont Wait
- Tweaks/Performance / DirectDraw Dont Wait : Yes Dont wait for blitting

Also, go into your THEMES\* directory, open the Theme.ini file for your selected theme and make sure  that AniBak=False.

Also the following setting will reduce CPU usage by quite a lot. You can download Process Explorer from SysInternals to watch the change in CPU usage by the following setting. The only problem is, this may make the display even more choppy.

- Tweaks/Performance / Reduce CPU Utilisation (MS) : 16

All of this info is in the GameEx forums, so it might pay you to make a post on there if you still have troubles.

Necro:
Use a theme that doesnt animate.  Speeds things up a ton.
