Hi guys, Ive combed the options advanced setup menus and the forums themselves and I cant seem to find an answer. Ive even tried going back to find older versions of game ex(10.80) which didnt use direct 3d but direct draw but to no avail either. My issue is that im getting probably 1 - 2 fps with Game Ex's menu system. My nes, Sega, Mame emulators run fine and fast. Metal Slug 3 runs fine and dandy on mame along with a variety of other cpu hungry mame games. No problems on running any of the emulators. But with game ex it doesnt matter which options I choose(v sync, lite version with games only) it just CRAWLS. This isnt the game that crawls its the menus within game ex. Im running game ex on a D201GLY2 intel micro itx mother board stuffed inside of an nes. Processor is a Celeron 220 at 1.2 ghz and a gig of ram. 160 gb hd space. Win XP. .netframework 4(tried 2 as well). Direct x 9.0c
