old games run too fast

[tribunal]

Hi all!
Some old games run too fast?
I have found nothing about it in wine's config :(
What can I do?

What games are they?

If they are DOS, I'd recommend using DOSBox over Wine.

No, windows
no SO old ;)
2000-2001-2002
My PC is just quick (core2Duo, hi-end graphics and so on)

System > Administration > Services
Disable "CPU Frequency Manager"

This is an issue with old games not being designed for multi-core systems.

Thank you :)
But may be where is a way to turn off one of "cores" ?
Temporary, of course ;)

- You can set cpu affinity for core 1 like this:

taskset -c 1 wine program_name.exe

- For more info, see:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/taskset

- Another thing you might try is enabling the OpenGL sync-to-vblank setting. In case you're using an nvidia card, run:

nvidia-settings

- Choose "OpenGL Settings" and tick the "Sync to VBlank" option.
