Hey guys, this is my first post ever but I think I found something important.

I created a shortcut to SSF2 that runs it with "real time" CPU priority. All you have to do is:

1) Create a new shortcut
2) Set the path to this:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "SSF2" /Realtime "C:\Program Files (x86)\Super Smash Flash 2 Beta\SSF2.exe"
3) Change the path so it points to wherever you saved SSF2
4) Save the shortcut
5) Open shortcut properties, open advanced, and set to "run as administrator"

You can test if it worked by:
1) Running the shortcut
2) Opening task manager, right click on SSF2 task and select "go to details"
3) Right click on SSF2 process and select "set priority"

It should be at "real time" instead of "normal"

What do you mean by "real time"?

The CPU prioritizes SSF2 and tries its best to complete the process on-demand.

FYI, I know it works because Pokemon Stadium used to lag for me (even with lowest settings). Also, Lloyd used to lag my game when I fight him. Now I can have 4 Lloyds on Pokemon Stadium and there's no lag

careful with this. if your processor is too slow this could lock up your entire system and the only way to unfreeze it is to hold the power button

Maybe setting it to "high" instead of "real time" would be better?
