badhemi Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Was wondering why and if there's a fix. If I run mame alone and load a game it takes a few seconds. Of I launch mame roms thru hyperspin they take up to a few minutes
reznnate Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Woah... are you using an external hard drive. Are you connecting and disconnecting it? If so, try disabling the 'media storage' system process. Otherwise... I have no idea what would cause that.
badhemi Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 What do you mean connecting and disconnecting it? I am running external hard drive in shield.
reznnate Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 What do you mean connecting and disconnecting it? I am running external hard drive in shield. Android has a service/app called 'media storage' that is likely creating new thumbnails for the gallery every time you connect that drive. It will also delete all of those thumbnails when you disconnect. If you are connecting and disconnecting the drive to edit files, copy files, or whatever, this process may be overloading the system since it was originally built to handle a few camera photos, not 9000 instantaneous wheel images.
badhemi Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 Wow makes sense. I'll check it out thank yoy
badhemi Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 reznnate i disabled the media storage and now hypespin app wont launch. so i enabled it and still no go. so i uninstalled hyperspin and reinstalled it and it still wont launch
reznnate Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 That doesn't make any sense. Do you have a new Shield tablet with Android M?
badhemi Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 All good now needed a restart. I have nvidia shield tv console. Also the mames still load slow
reznnate Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 MAME shouldn't take more than a second or two to load most roms. Is this happening with all roms like pacman and 10yard fight? Or are you seeing this behavior with more-advanced games like Street Fighter 3? Only thing I can imagine is your external drive is usb2 and very slow. I have not run into this before.
badhemi Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 All games load slow. If I run mame droid on shield then load a rom it's super fast but loading thru hyperspin it's slowwww
badhemi Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Tried the disable trick and it worked thanks rezznate
