The game runs too fast! How can I slow it down?

DOS Games Frequently Asked Questions: Part of dosgames.com
The easiest way to slow down old games is to hit the Turbo button on your computer, if it has one. Of course, not all computers have Turbo buttons, and not all will slow down all games the way you'd like. So, check out the MoSlo utility (it can be downloaded from the Essential Utilities page), one of many that allow you to slow down a DOS program. It works quite well for most games. Unzip the program to the same directory as the game you want to run slower.

Game X runs too slow/too fast, is there anything I can do?

This FAQ is made up of parts ripped out of the FAQ by Zorkwi...
Since there is no frame-skip or auto frame-skip in UltraHLE, the only way to speed up or slow down emulation is to change the resolution which you are running the game at, or disable the sound. Choose a high resolution to slow the emulation down, or a low resolution to speed it up. Disabling the sound also gives a speed boost. Also make sure that you have the most current drivers for your video and sound card, and that you aren't running any programs in the background while using UltraHLE.

Will I be 'too slow' or 'too fast'?

LoT - FAQ
Speed is not necessarily an issue. Of course an overly slow driver can cause a nuisance, which is why we select sessions partly on the grounds of peoples prior experience, type of vehicle and where they will feel most comfortable. If sessions are clearly not working out: we change them. We strive to provide a comfortable situation for newcomers and experience drivers alike. Any driver not being "considerate" to others will be removed from the track immediately.

It seems the game has become extremely slow to load again, recently. It's gotten to the point where I can visit several other websites every time I click on "attack". Anyone else experiencing this? --LouisB3 19:48, 4 Dec 2005 (GMT) I have noticed the game is extremely slow in the evening for the past 2 days, but seems to pick up and be very fast after 09:00 GMT, of course I am usually too sleepy to play by then.

You could be suffering from Internet lag that is often caused by poor connection between your ISP and our server.

How can the CarterCopter fly so fast and efficiently? Shouldn't the rotor slow it down?

CarterCopter FAQ on CarterAviationTechnologies.com
The CarterCopter is a hybrid between an airplane and a rotorcraft. A rotor is a very efficient device for providing lift at low speeds, but its drag increases rapidly as the aircraft goes faster if it must continue to support the aircraft. In the CarterCopter, as the aircraft speeds up and the wings begin producing more of the lift, the rotor produces less lift and can slow down given the correct control input.

Is there anything I can do to make my watch run a few seconds fast/slow each day?

In the WM5 setup guide you can find the MRailing Phone Tools.CAB file. This contains many fixes and files for the i730 and WM5.

How fast should the Game be played?

About the game - How the game is played
Because of the unique nature of Flowing Dragon Swords, it is played at as many speeds as there are players who play it. There is no “correct” speed except that when starting to learn, it is best to go very slowly. Never, would you go faster than the speed at which they are “meeting you”, (as you are always “Listening” to your O/T’s sword). It is always a co-creation of movement or stillness, slow or moderate, beginner, novice or advanced.

Fast searching displays only those prices which we can store in our database, so it takes much less time.

What if these tracks are too fast or too slow for me?

FAQs
These works are recorded at tempos that I consider a suitable compromise for most performers. Many of the works in the catalogue I have played before in concert so I know how they should sound, and for those works I haven't previously played I have listened to different CD recordings in order to ascertain a satisfactory tempo for my tracks. For many of the more difficult works, I provide slower practice versions that are provided free with the full speed track.

You can then try selecting 3-D hardware acceleration again.

The game runs very slowly. Why?

chromium B.S.U. ] - F.A.Q.
Chromium absolutely requires hardware acceleration - it will not run at acceptable speeds with software OpenGL. If the OpenGL 'Vendor' string printed out during start-up is 'Brian Paul', you're definitely running in software. See question 7. By default, SDL wants a GLX enabled X server. Chromium runs fine with the XFree4/DRI Voodoo drivers, but the old fullscreen Glide/Mesa hack for the XFree3.3.x is not recognized as valid.

For example, when you click the Bet button during a game, the ComePlay program on your computer immediately sends that message to the main server, which in turn sends it to all players in your hand. Only AFTER the message has been sent does your program start playing the animations to remove the button, make your bet move, slide the chips, play any audio, re-arrange the chips by your side, and so on.
