Random freezes while playing

[Spyro the Dragon]

Hello guys,

I've been trying the emulator in the last couple of days, and I've noticed that I'm getting random 4-5 seconds freezes, sometimes less than that, in every game. I've tried messing around some configurations, tried different video plugins, reinstalled the emulator, but I can't seem to get rid of them. Current configuration in images below.







Thanks for any incoming help

Playing from iso or DVD ?

[Spyro the Dragon]

Not sure what PPP means, but if you're asking if I'm playing from an iso file or a DVD, all games I've tried are iso files.

did you set power plan to high performance ?

[Spyro the Dragon]

Has always been in high performance.

1 - which game
2 - what do the ee% & gs% say when you get those "freezes" ?

1 - Happened with Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelist of the Roses and The Godfather so far, haven't tried any other. I'd say The Godfather requires more resources, but I can't see why it would happen in Yu-Gi-Oh.

2 - No idea about that, since I usually play in fullscreen, but I'll try in window mode and check the numbers.

EDIT: Just tried it, both percentages dropped to 0 when the game froze for about 1 second.

Updated my post above, not sure if you noticed.

could be intel speedstep problem, then.
how are your temps when playing ?

[Spyro the Dragon]

Is that any option that can be toggled on or off somewhere?

Since the last days have been really hot here and I'm using a laptop, the temps are a bit higher than usual, but I don't know exact values.
