How to fix AMD Ryzen 7 9700X scheduling in Mario Emulator?
The compatibility on this emulator is a joke. Whenever I hit a complex 3D area, the framerate jumps around like an EKG monitor—it's infuriating. The Ryzen 7 9700X was hitting 15-30ms of scheduling latency, meaning the CPU was basically idling while waiting for instruction sync. I tried allocating more RAM in the launch options, but that just led to a memory overflow and a straight-up crash. I finally used a process manager to set the emulator to 'Realtime' priority and disabled Core Parking in the power plan. RTSS showed frame times settling from a chaotic 12-45ms down to a steady 8-12ms. I did notice my browser started lagging in the background, but I just lowered the browser's priority to fix the balance. CPU temps are stable at 60-68℃ with a locked 5.1GHz clock. I exported the config via a snapshot tool so I don't have to do this again. The input lag is finally gone.
