High CPU load
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 5:33 pm
Hi
I just discovered Gimx and thought I'll give it a try. My background is mostly PC gaming back in the days, and now PS3, trying both the Frag FX Shark and Eagle Eye converter.
Now.. the problem I have is with High CPU load when running the emu from gimx-bluetooth program (sixemu_0.40-1_i386.deb)
I have tried both the latest Ubuntu 12 and 11.10, the Ubuntu 12 installation running on my 3 years old Dell XPS M1330 and Ubuntu 11.10 on an Dell Optiplex 780.
I have tried 3 different BT adapters:
The M1330 onboard BT adapter: Wireless 355 BT (Broadcom)
A Logitech diNovo Mini BT dongle (I think that one also has a Broadcom chip)
And finally a unbranded Class 2 BT v2.1+EDR (BlueCore4-ROM), bought at Clas Ohlson (a store in Sweden)
All of the above dongles let me run the EMU but the same problem is persistent on all 3 dongles. The gimex-bluetooth process jumps to 100% when starting the EMU.
Anyone else experienced this?
Its quite frustrating, as the high cpu load induces lag sometimes, making me a sitting duck in BF3
Update #1
Okay.. I tried to downgrade to sixemu_0.30-1_i386.deb and that one was working OK.
I noticed the emuclient process in my "top" list, and that the CPU hungry gimx-bluetooth process was gone.
Being new to this and not knowing what processes was needed to run, I decided to try running the whole thing from terminal/CLI.
I upgraded back to 0.4 version and followed the "run from Command line" guide on the wiki, and everything seems to be working much better
Question: Whats the purpose of the gimx-bluetooth process? Is that just the GUI for setting up the emu, and not needed to actually run the emu?
Best regards
Ivar
