jigsaw dective 4.0 found a fix

[Mayhem]

Joe has a hidden setting in his Jigsaw Auto (hope he doesn't mind me posting this).

Get a fresh board ready and hold the "Left Shift" button down (and press start on the auto). Hold down that shift key until the auto clicks on the magnet to collect the pieces. Let it the shift button go .. if you have a fast enough computer, it'll give a new meaning to "insane" speed.  O0

Use this at your own risk. This will only work in v4.1

OMG mayhem fast is not the word i could not beleve my eyes how fast it went  :D :D

thank you for tip
and please thank joe foir his genus  O0

Ok, must be me, but this auto just doesn't work for me.
It takes forEVER for the magnet to scope out the pieces....
Then it sorts them
Then it tries to place one side but can't just keeps going through the cycle of the left side over and over and over and over....
What am I doing wrong?

[Mayhem]

Make sure your using v4.2 ..

Sounds like you computer isn't fast enough to run it.

[Pogo_Agogo]

How fast does the computer need to be?
Running XPsp2
512 megs ram
1200 mhz
Computers clean, runs smooth, no problems...

Anyway... got it working, changed the screen res.
Watched it on Fast... took a bit over 16 mins.
Trying second puzzle on Insane (with the trick posted)... and it's freaking out. LOL!!! Can't complete the frame.

[Mayhem]

16 min on fast? thats a long time

On fast, it complete's puzzles in 3 min (2 min on insane) for me.

Make sure you dont have any other browsers / appz loaded in memory when running this auto.

[Pogo_Agogo]

Nope nothing else running 'cept Norton in background.
Currently still on second puzzle, filling in guts - not even half done and is at 10 mins. (Insane)

hmmmm. I'll see what else I can do with the speed.

[Mayhem]

Norton is a huge resource hog .. try turning that off.

[Pogo_Agogo]

Just killed a bunch of processes, and disabled Norton...
Closed Outlook... System tray is empty.

Here I go.................

2 minutes to do 2 sides of frame... then it got stuck so I stopped it. Somehow the frame got bumped off to the side and it was trying to fit pieces into an empty space.

Oh well....

gm mayhem ver 4.2 runs  smother  and better ty  8)

orion42

ps run better when all programs in backround are turned off O0

i could never get any of the versions to work, i downloaded 4.2 and still nothing running windows xp i have jvm  jit complier checked & sun java checked :-[

[Pogo_Agogo]

I think you need to UNcheck the Sun Java - correct me, anyone, if I'm wrong.
And change your screen resolution.

Anyway, I defraged last night, restarted this morning, quit all running apps, which is usually just Norton in the system tray, started IE and launched Jigsaw, when the game window opened I closed the background Pogo (Play Now) window, started JD.exe.
It still played at the same speed.

I'm a graphic designer and I thought my computer ran pretty dang fast but ya'll must have kickarse high powered machines to run JD like that.  Don't know what else could be causing it to run slow.

:-\

[misty2u]

my screen res is at  1024x768 hi res 32
maybe i'll uncheck sun java & try that tyvm

[orion42]

ty mayhem for info about version 4.2 lot better

 :'(
I want mine to work

[Pogo_Agogo]

Well I got the game to speed up by UNchecking JIT compiler and using Sun Java. Unfortunately the game now just gets stuck, it sorts out the pieces at the beginning but puts some of the left side frames in with the right side frames, then it can't find the pieces and keeps trying and trying til I just stop it.

Any fix for this? Or why this happens? What can I do to correct it?

[Homer]

Are you using version 4.2?

[Pogo_Agogo]

Yes, it's the new one.... I even tried it on Medium speed, it flies through the magnet but then when it separates, it piles a bunch of pieces for the right side without analyzing them first, then it starts separating them therefore, can't find the pieces as it's building the left frame, cuz they're buried in the right side pile.

I haven't purchased it yet and have about 86% shareware left. Until I can get this thing running right... not gonna buy. 

My next test is just using MicroVM - not Sun and UNcheck JIT....

NOPE... MicroVM slows it down entirely, magnet runs slow... Sun seems to make it fly faster just can't piece them together
