Updated source here.Edit4: added screenshotsEdit5: removed wrapper stuff (see new thread) and updated executable.Edit6: updated the source script to v3.0.0.7 (v3.0.0.1 - 33 downloads)Edit7: oops, executable was pointing to wrong file. fixed nowEdit8: updated the source script to v3.0.0.10 (v3.0.0.7 - 2 downloads)Edit9: updated the source script to v3.0.0.13 (v3.0.0.10 - 12 downloads)Edit10: updated the source script to v3.0.0.15 (v3.0.0.13 - 10 downloads)Edit11: updated the source script to v3.0.0.40 (v3.0.0.15 - 76 downloads)Edit12: removed the source script and program Edited May 30, 2006 by PartyPooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyzmok Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi partypooper. Can you tell me where I can find the <RefreshTray.au3> ? I find the part where you switch off the "unnecessary XP Services" very interesting ! I would like to try this on my notebook (runs on XP) to be able to run "World of Warcraft" a little smoother A few (stupid ?) questions : Do all those services startup again automatically when rebooting ? (I guess they do) How can i be sure that you don't stop services that are needed for WoW (ex. : the Simple TCP/IP Services ?) or is it "trial and error" Nice script !

PartyPooper Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 (edited) You can find it here:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...ic=7404&hl=trayTo answer your questions...Yes, they will start up again on reboot so long as you don't do anything stupid like installing software etc. before rebooting because that will create a new restore point.Well, I left a few services running (the common ones used by Cable/DSL) so it should work as is, however, if something doesn't work, then I guess it's trial and error.Thanks. I tried to make it as simple as I could using a single exe that could be run from anywhere (I leave it on my desktop).P.S. You don't have to switch off the services, especially if you're only playing single player mode etc. In real terms, shutting down superfluous services only frees up memory and some processing power and is mainly beneficial when playing internet games because it squeezes every last little bit out of your computer it can which may or may not give you an edge.

PartyPooper Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Updated to version 3.0. Total rewrite of code making it smaller and quicker. Edit: See first post for update Edited January 8, 2006 by PartyPooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipz Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 The updater works perfectly. Once my friend told me that he had found Jesus. I thought to myself, "Woohoo, we're rich!" It turns out he meant something different.Sometimes I just like to lay in my bed and look up at the stars and wonder..where the hell did my roof go?

killaz219 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Dosn't really detect many games, though it did detect all the Blizzard games I got. I guess it dosn't matter that it didn't pick up counter-strike or day of defeat because it found steam.Good tool all around, except I bet you could find the GPU temp from other types of cards and the speed test is defaultly for Australia which messed up my results.EDIT: I also think you should have a stop all unnecisary services button for the undetected games.EDIT 2: Also upon further testing, when it is stopping services it freezes for me and its processor use goes down to 0%.http://img302.imageshack.us/img302/1714/look26cy.jpg Edited January 8, 2006 by killaz219 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping I had the sequence correct and this wouldn't happen - guess not. Windows won't allow a parent service to be stopped before a child service and puts up a confirmation request which you don't see unfortunately because I hide the cmd window. I will add a debug option to the program which won't hide the window and allow you to see what service is being effected. When you find it, let me know and I will resequence it in the main program.

PartyPooper Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 The updater works perfectly. Cool. I'll add the update wrapper source here today for those interested in seeing what I've done. It's really simple but it does have a downside - it almost doubles the size of the download because I fileinclude the FastGaming.exe into the compile. If I get time, I'll try and think of a better way to accomplish the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipz Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 You are God if you make the update script Once my friend told me that he had found Jesus. I thought to myself, "Woohoo, we're rich!"

PartyPooper Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Cleaned up the code a bit and added virtual disk capability so you don't have to worry about remembering to put in your game CD before playing. Requires Elby Virtual CloneDrive. The virtual CD's are set up under the Settings option. Should automatically update if you have the option selected.

PartyPooper Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) Tweaked some more and changed the way the Stop Services option behaves. Should now only bother you when starting a game and not when you start an editor or miscellaneous gaming utility. Also added the option for it to autostop services when starting a game (see settings options). Should auto update if you have to option selected. Edit: added some screenshots to the first post.

PartyPooper Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well, I don't think I can create it as a single function, however, I will work on cleaning it up and making it simple to include in any program. It won't be as flash as some of the autoupdaters the developers have written, but it'll work for the layman (like me ) I'll put it under a new thread. Give me a couple of hours.

PartyPooper Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) OK Snipz, I managed to put it all in a single function, however, it still requires a version control file located on a webserver and the update MUST have a different filename to the running executable. Details can be found here.Because I've changed some internal update code, FastGaming may not update correctly. If you have trouble, just delete the FastGaming executable and download it from here or my website (I'll update both).Edit: forgot to mention that you will need to rename FastGamingUpdate.exe to FastGaming.exe after you download it. After you do that, it should update normally thereafter. Edited January 11, 2006 by PartyPooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartyPooper Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Updated source and exe. Many, many bugfixes and added a couple of new things. Anyone want any games added? All I need to add games is the program name (window title) and the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software registry key that points to the install directory and executable. Also, any command line options you would like to include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyPooper Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Forgot to add, minimising FastGaming frees up more CPU cycles (it auto-minimises when starting a game/game launcher). I'm also working on an issue with the Virtual CD rom function. It loads up OK but it won't unload and reload another until rebooted (unless you manually unload by right clicking in My Computer).
