    What's the best version/set up people use for Pimp Wars? I went to set up the latest linux with these settings. It works, but there is an annoying delay when doing menu options.

    I just setup Pimpwars from the pw_152l.zip file and it seems to work fine. You can check it out on my BBS if you like.

    Age restricted to 18+ not that it really matters in the BBS world.

    Thanks,

    Thanks as always nelgin! I did see it responding much much better on your board. I am running 1.52 linux, every other native door runs fast, but it might just be my limited resources? Or if you could post your settings so I can compare. Thanks!

    Sure.

    Did you try running top or something to check on cpu usage?

    I ran top while executing, it didn't seem to top out mem or cpu. There's just a delay between when you hit a key and when it does something. Your BBS ran fine with similar settings. No idea what could be the culprit. ugh. Thanks.
