Cave story running in slow motion

I have a question for all of you that are experiencing this problem.

Have you tried setting doukutsu's priority to high?

how would you do that?

 

Never mind, Okay
Close CS and try this
Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices > Speaker Settings - Advanced > Choose "Performance" tap > Set Hardware Acceleration to "None"

Then Okay.

Run CS again and see if it does happen again..

No its the display

Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot > Hardware Acceleration, reduce from full to the third level i think.

This is for windows XP on netbook.

 

Hmm, I've got the same problem, but gets a lot worse in Hell (the Matrix slowdown has allowed me to shave my time down from 2:56 to 2:36, booyah),
and my laptop tells me I can't change my hardware acceleration (don't even know what it is =P), so I'd also appreciate suggestions.

 

If you reduce Cave Story's resolution with the DoConfig program, it seems to run faster. If it's already at the lowest resolution... I have no suggestions.

 

When i have problem like this in some games (like travel in fallout 1) i used Cheat Engine's speed hack. Try it.

 

Well I think I've found the true culprit in my case. I had the power settings on "Power saver" mode. I didn't realize it caps the CPU to 50% even when plugged in (I thought it only did that when it was running on battery only). Changed it to "balanced" mode and problem solved!

My suggestions are to:

A: Keep your battery plugged in at all possible times
B: Keep your settings on High Performance as much as possible.
C: If off the battery and need to save life, use Power Saver.
AND
D: Avoid Balanced, you either need performance or you don't. Never go halfway.
