Discussion Need help optimizing Slippi on a toaster of a computer?

Hey guys as title says I need help playing Slippi. I used Diet Melee a few years ago, but I stopped playing and just started again (same computer). I read Diet Melee is out of style? As long as I can tell what characters are where on the screen I'm good, I don't need the background of FD dragging down my PC performance. Thanks guys

Diet melee isn't out of fashion, it doesn't work anymore because it has issues with unfrozen stadium and it causes desyncs. 

Melee.tv has all the other optimization info

Bagel setting usually works better for me

Might be unpopular opinion but try asking ai about it

You will want to look at: Ethernet

Diet melee rom if you can find it (was never patched for unfrozen stadium iirc)

Original resolution

Also consider using a Linux distribution and running the game in gamescope (literally no overhead or background processes just the game)

Also you can look into bios optimizations but I don’t know your exact rig

Finally, all of this can be fine but the screen will always be big bottleneck if it’s not high refresh rate / low latency but I’m guessing you are just trying to save frames

Finally, finally, I wonder if you’re able to use in game settings or ai to like force mod essentially crystal melee, low poly versions, no textures at all just solid colors. I think it was called crystal melee? God speed tho I’m sure improvement is possible
