1059 was my best then I beat it with 1028 and then 1409 mph! I'll beat that 1536mph some day ;)

Edit: 1414mph now! I think I found the secret.

Edit: 1697mph!!! (no joke!) I think I should quit while I'm ahead.

I cant get over 100 mph?!?!? My damn optical is broken or something.

Phrozen

I had that same problem at first. I kept getting around 60 mph until I figured it out.

teck
11-03-2001, 03:54 PM

teck

ok..i figured it out. change your mouse sensitivity level. the highest i can get is around 400. damn, this makes me dizzy with the mouse moving this fast :(

Cyber
11-03-2001, 04:42 PM
my friend got 836!!!! :eek3:

El Nino

Yeah, mouse sensitivity is part of it but if you want the higher numbers, there is another secret too.

Phrozen
11-03-2001, 05:16 PM
I never thought of changing the mouse sensitivity properties. I'll have to try that.

You can change the PS/2 Refresh rate on some mice. It really helps. Acceleration full, sensitivity full. Freeze the hand by moving your mouse pointer out of the game area and back in on the other side of the monkey. You can get 800, easy.

I was just going to post that trick.

CPU also has a lot to do with it. I put a heavy load on my P3 at 550MhZ and the program ran even faster. That's how I managed my top score. I'm still playing around with memory allocation and seeing if it has anything to do with it, but no avail...yet.

Btw...I put the load on my CPU with a VB app that just cycles in an endless DO loop. I've tested memory by resizing an array of DOUBLE variables until I ran out of memory. Then I redimmed it to 0 and the loop started over again. Hey, it works!

I can't seem to get over 400. I got a P4 1.7Ghz, 512MB RAM.. when I was trying it I think I was only @ 10% of the cpu used up and 120meg ram... (win xp tells you this stuff)(I leave lots of windows open too)

Best I recall, Windows 2000/XP manages the CPU so program's can't take up more than their fair share of space. This is probably a factor.

Well, I don't think you need a fast computer to spank a monkey? :D

cheers,
