This may sound a bit strange but I have an old video game called "Wipeout XL"
And this game runs on my PC at 200fps, which is way too fast as the game is meant to be played at 30fps.
Their are some unofficial patches available who fix that problem, but they don't work right: they generate glitches, disable the music or don't even startup if you have the original CD inserted. :(
I tried already to slowdown my PC with CPU killer and sort of those programs but that doesn't work too, the video card is giving problems.:mad:
I can enable V sync but that is still twice as fast as it's meant to be played.
Now I found FRAPS witch is able to limit the fps of my game fine, but to limit it, it always has to record a video.
So this is my (little) request: can you make an option (or is their already one) in FRAPS to just limit my fps, so that I don't have to record a video all the time (which is completely unnecessary).

That is an interesting idea, it actually works when you do that?

Yes, it works fine
however, the game stutters sometimes
but the video it creates has no stuttering at all, it looks nice, even on low quality
but still, it's unnecessery :(

Can't you use the cache record where it will loop 30 seconds of recording? It's the new feature in fraps. That way you won't be taking up loads of disk space and it should still limit the fps. :)
