Lag-When the game actually 'studders'. FPS, the thing on the bottom right hand corner, is below 57 and the game is slow and choppy. This is caused by bad computers, nothing else. This choppiness is not caused by ping!!! The best way to speed up your emulator is to uncheck all the options, and then lower your windowed resolution. Start with 320x240 and work your way up. If you're still getting poor FPS, it's probably you're computer, and you shouldn't be playing ram/gpu consuming games anyway. In addition: Have everyone in your party turn off all programs other than pj64k, esp. Kazaa. AIM does not matter much. If this does not work, have everyone set Priority to High through Task Manager. To do this for Windows XP: Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open Task Manager, then go to Processes. Right-click Project64k, then set priority to High. This SHOULD not interfere with your computer, only making all other programs than pj64k really slow. But, if it freezes, you might have to restart. You have to redo this every time you open PJ64k.
Delay - When you press a button, then a noticable amount of time passes, and the computer does the action. Very frustrating, but is only caused by ping, nothing else. Ping is how long the computer takes to 'press' a button. For example, 135 ms, as in 135 milli-seconds. To help ping: close all Internet-related programs, such as Kazaa and AIM, and close Internet Explorer, too. Also, simply move to a different server that is better for you. You can sort by ping on the server list. Lower ping is better.
