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

Hi,
I opened a new issue: link.
I will try to reproduce it ASAP.

You are right, it's just a GUI that makes GIMX easier to use.Ivar wrote: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?

Re: High CPU load
Okay.. a little feedback after a few hours playing BF3;
The EMU and EmuClient is working as expected when running them in CLI. Ok on both the latest Ubuntu 12 and 11.10.
Issues:
1) Cannot use my BT MIC.
This will cause control lag. I know this is a known issue, just mentioning it again
2) Setting the "--force-updates" option in emuclient also causes lag after a few minutes play (Only tested in BF3)
Edit
3) Played some more this evening, and I'm struggling with my aim is jumping around when going in/out of ADS.
This was permanent during the whole evening. When I'm careful not moving my mouse (G500) when ADS'ing, everything is fine.
Any ideas?
4) I have one occurrence of having to reset the client and emu due to lag, maybe after 2 hours play time (BF3)
Cheers

Re: High CPU load
I reproduced the high cpu load issue. It is specific to Linux, and it occurs since version 0.40.
Did you tried to use a switch delay?Ivar wrote:I'm struggling with my aim is jumping around when going in/out of ADS.

Good.. I was wondering if I was the only one having this problemI reproduced the high cpu load issue. It is specific to Linux, and it occurs since version 0.40.
No.. I'll certainly try that when playing this evening, and report back!Did you tried to use a switch delay?

Hello Matlo
First I must say your support on this forum is superb Thank you!
As far as I can tell the latest patch also fixes my issue #2. I now can play with the "--force-updates" option checked.
As for my issue #3, the in and out of ADS problem was not solved by setting a switch delay.
I tried up to 400ms on both profile 1 & 2, and the shift in aim point was only delayed the same amount of time.
I did some more research on this.. and this even happens if I holds the mouse perfectly still and just using my RMB going in/out of ADS. Sometimes after 8 clicks, sometimes after 20, the number seems random.
I'll continue to investigate this.
Thanks again!
Cheers

I did, and it's working perfectly now.I fixed the high cpu load issue.
If you want to test it you can follow the Linux build instruction.

Re: High CPU load
BF3 on PS3 is sadly known to have input latency and jerky aim:

Re: High CPU load
I don't think this is input lag really, I never had that problem.
The mouse movements is responding quick and precise, only the sudden shift in aim point is sometimes the problem.
I don't have any capture card, but I'll try to make a video with my phone cam ASAP to show you the problem.
