DSmuME lag

I am currently playing through Soul Silver again and I have an incredible amount of lag. I dunno how I could fix the settings to allow the game to run smoother. I am using DSmuME 0.99 x 86 on a laptop that has 1.7ghz with 4GB of Ram.
3D settings:
Soft Ras with both Edge Marking and Fog off.Sound:
Interpolation set at none with the buffer size at 5000.Emulation settings:
I have "use external bios" unchecked.I don't know what else to set for the emulator.

1.7ghz is very slow, and I'm guessing its a mobile processor (i.e laptop/netbook)?There might not be a whole lot you can do.

Try changing Display Method to DirectDraw SW and uncheck Limit framerate under Frame Skip.

sw rendering is likely to be even slower.

Replying to #4

Huh? On my DeSmuME SW rendering is faster than HW rendering.

Replying to #5

SW rendering makes the host CPU do all the graphics work in addition to the CPU emulation rather than offloading the graphics onto the specialised hardware on the graphics card.

Well, I played around with the setting some more and then changed the display as well, but it still didn't work out that well. Thanks anyway, though. I might as well play when I get home.
