First of all, I'm not trying to disrespect your guide but let me add my 2 cents.
So exactly how much fps was gained or can be gain by doing this? Intel's iGPU sucks at any kind of emulations and no matter how hard you try to make it faster with the booster, it still won't be as good as a "decent" discrete GPU.
1. "use older version...". Bad idea. There's a good reason why it was dropped. Really, the only reason(s) why anyone would want to use an older is if they're desperate, don't have the money to do a proper upgrade, and clueless.
2. "GMA Booster". You can only make a turtle run so fast...
3. "Gamebooster". I think that's a gimmick because it's that hardware that drives the emulator performance!
4. "Run as Admin" Doubtful. Got proof?
5. "kill Explorer.exe" If anyone have to resort to this kind of methodology then you must accept the fact that you have a crappy computer....
6. "Update graphics driver". This is a logically thing to do even if people don't use an emulator. But don't think it will be leap and bound with a driver update. A crappy computer will always be a crappy computer. Period.
7. "Empty temp folder". Re-read the last sentence on #5 and #6.
8. "Defrag your HDD". Re-read the last sentence on #5 and #6.
Trust me, I used come from a Pentium 4 setup then moved on to Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad (QX9770), and currently Haswell setup. Each upgrade iteration was well worth it! Upgrading to Haswell is the best thing I did since Haswell's CPUs are 30 percents faster than Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge CPUs. That's an extra bonus I'd say!
