I will only talk about the settings on the lightning simulator. Please refer to other dedicated articles for system drivers.
First, for the selection of the simulator version, please refer to: https://www.duokaiya.com/ldversion.html
First choose the emulator that suits you, test which one works best for you, and then optimize it. If it doesn’t work, just stick to it. The settings of several versions will be different.
Simulator settings adjustment (the settings that come with each simulator)
Performance settings cpu and memory
For CPU and memory, 4 cores are set to 4096MB when not running too much, and 2 cores are 4096MB when running more (one core is 2048MB without a script), which is enough for 90% of the cases. Any more is generally counterproductive. But this is not absolute. Test it yourself. The setting here means setting an upper limit. It does not mean that the amount you set will be used immediately. Generally, a CPU of 2-4 is enough, and the memory can be as large as possible, because almost all memory now has more than 64G, and the memory will not fluctuate, and setting enough can make it more stable.
Resolution and frame rate
Resolution If your script or tool does not require it, it is recommended that you set 960*540, which is the smallest setting that comes with it. This resolution is clear enough. The lower the resolution, the lower the CPU and graphics card usage. There is no point in setting it higher. If the script requires it, skip it.
The recommended frame number is 20-30 frames. Because some scripts may fail due to sliding when the frame rate is lower than 20 frames, while it basically has no effect if the frame rate is higher than 30 frames. Breaking through 30 frames. In the past, most applications used 30 frames, and a few provided 60 frames. Lowering the frame rate can significantly reduce the simulator CPU and graphics card usage. However, if you drop it to less than 30, especially when it is 10 frames, you will feel that the screen is stuck. The principle of frame rate will not be popularized here. Go to Baidu and check it yourself. This is a normal phenomenon. If it is lower than 10, it is not necessary.
The disk sharing system can be written and shared (currently only versions after Thunderbolt 9.0.20 have this function)
It is best to turn it on, because turning it on can reduce the usage of 1.2GB per emulator. 100 simulators can reduce 100GB, which is a benefit for multiple users. And it can speed up the running speed of the simulator to a certain extent, mainly reducing the hard disk usage, which is very delicious.
So here comes the question. What should I do if some people say that they want to install masks and need to be writable? This is simple. You can find Patrick Star to customize a pure simulator with an environment. Even if you already have the data, it will not be affected. , and then set it to sharing through Thunderbolt Multi-Open Assistant with one click, the hard disk space is very low.
Model settings
Please pay attention here, because some apps will adjust the UI interface for different models. For details, please refer to: https://www.duokaiya.com/ask/154.html
other settings
If ROOT and ADB are not needed, it is recommended to close them. If some functions of Thunderbolt Assistant cannot be used after closing them, then you can just open them again. Try to keep everything else not mentioned and adjust it according to your needs.
Adjustment of multi-open settings (multi-open settings under the multi-opener)
The number of frames is mentioned above. The sound is usually turned off. Whoever turns it on will still listen to the sound. Many studios don't even run the sound card driver. But emulator No. 0 is not affected by these, so don't use No. 0.
Extreme multi-open mode: Older versions do not have this. I usually turn it on, and it does not affect the color script. If you do, turn it off. According to the actual test, turning it on can greatly reduce the memory usage, which is very delicious.
Virtual disk mode: The main difference is that if it uses stable mode, it can reduce the chance of damage to the emulator if there is a sudden power outage and shutdown. If there is no UPS protection or enterprise-class solid state, you can choose to use stable mode if the data is important. However, some users have reported that the stable mode may be stuck or take up a lot of space, so test it yourself.
For small disks, if your app is only a few tens of MB, there will be no additional data to open. Now it feels unnecessary to open it, and some users have reported that it freezes after opening the small disk. Customized is another matter.
I won’t talk about the arrangement. You can arrange it according to your own comfort. Generally, you use a grid to arrange it, and then check the box to automatically adjust the window size. 4-6 per row for horizontal screen, 6-10 per row for vertical screen is better.
Automatically remember the last simulator window position can be checked.
By the way, if you open multiple settings, you can't save them or they don't work. Then right-click the administrator to run the multi-opener and reset it again, or you can use the Thunderbolt multi-open assistant to set it up.
Other things to note:
The same major version is Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4/5, including 64-bit and Thunderbolt 9. Regardless of the overseas version or the domestic version, do not install multiple different versions. Major versions can coexist, such as Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 5 and Thunderbolt 9. You can install both, but the minor versions cannot be different. For example, you install Thunderbolt 3.66 and then install 3.122, or you install Thunderbolt 4.0.83 and then install 5.0.65. Because of these major versions, they all share the same path of the virtual machine main program. If the span is small, you may not encounter bugs, but if the span is large, the impact will be great. Don’t take chances, especially if there are People also like to restore Thunderbolt 3 backup to Thunderbolt 9 across versions. Even if you don't have a problem, it is wrong in itself and you won't be able to solve it when you encounter it.
Try to avoid synchronization operations, especially login, claim, etc. This comes from a user who lazily used a hardware synchronizer + emulator to synchronize into the game, causing 300 accounts on 10 computers to die instantly and heavy losses (still a single window with a single IP) ). . .
You should not start the simulator too quickly, and even if you close the simulator, the interval should be longer. If you pay attention, you can see that the disk usage will increase when the simulator is closed. This is because the simulator is saving the data in the memory to the virtual machine. In the disk, if the hard disk is not powerful enough, starts up too quickly or shuts down too fast, it will easily cause damage to the hard disk or the emulator. If it is a flagship product of Samsung Titanium, it may not be damaged but it may cause the emulator to freeze. If you like the other brands Starting in 0 seconds will often damage the emulator or hard drive.
