Forum Slickness

A couple of things here:

1. The handheld emulator lag thing has been happening since I switched to this computer.

2. I think I figured out one of the problems--I have no firewall. I try to install CA's firewall and it gives me some stupid error shit 90% through. My dad won't be able to help tonight as it's 12:42 AM. I'll be willing to try all of those things IST suggested as soon as I get a damn firewall. Jesus, I'm sick of this piece of shit computer. I'm about 5 seconds away from throwing out the goddamn window.

No dice on nod32; IE crashes when I go to the home page. I had AVG before and it didn't do jack. I'll try the others though.

 
Should probably mention that I have CA Security Center, and when I scan, it doesn't come up with any viruses or anything.

As for defrag, I do that and it can only defrag 2% of my computer because of all the gigabytes of files on it.

That's...all there is to it.

 

Really, that pretty much sums up the topic. My computer lags horribly when I emulate GameBoy Color games, but not NES, SNES, GBA, or even PS1 games. Yes, you heard right--PS1 games run better than a simple GBC game on my hunk o' junk. This is what I get for pirating, I guess. This is probably also what I get for being poor.

At any rate, as of late, my computer also does not let me listen to MP3s and emulate at the same time while using speedup. Again, this is what I get for being poor and not being able to buy an iPod like all the 6-year-olds.

But that doesn't really have anything to do with the topic at hand, yes? Well, let me tell you of more suckage: every non-vBulletin forum I go to lags when I type. I'm currently typing up this wangstfest in Notepad, for those curious. Anyhow, this started when I switched from IE 7 to IE 8. I'd just switch to Firefox, but I have a feeling it'll lag on that, too.

Back to the GBC issue here--I've tried BGB, but if I try to make the screen size any larger than the default x1 resolution, the game lags. Not to mention it lags in VBACE. "VBACE's outdated!" you say. "Get VBA-M!" There's a problem there, too--don't you think I would've switched already if I could? I mean, hell, it's linked in the friggin Game Progress thread. The problem here is that it's like what DS games are on my computer: too advanced, so it lags for everything.

Don't really know how to end this. So I guess I'll just end it like a normal LiveJournal entry: "WHY DOESN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND ME BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW /wrist"

...Or something like that.

I've actually found a .GIF version of that (That doesn't include Kyon three times) if you want.

I'll have you know they're very far--they're at ??%!

Well, possibly not centuries. And definitely not a millenia. But yeah, this is enough until you feel like working on it again. Thanks

 
Like I keep saying, as inexperienced as I am, I could probably fight with this enough to get it to work; just tell me what to do. Wait, is it a mind-raping grueling process and that's why you put it off in the first place?

Hm? Oh, sure. I was just offering a suggestion as you said you were undecided on how to handle the accented vowels. I wouldn't care if you didn't fix them, to be honest. 

 
Viciously mispelled "handle..." 

 
Oh, it looks like you didn't see my other edits yet, possibly. That's what's implied, anyway...

Well, uh, one pixel of the shadow on the number "4" disappears when it's displayed in the "Gained X experience points/Obtained X gil" text, but that's a little...trivial. So much that only a font nut such as myself would notice.
