AffinityMaster is a simple Python script that manages CPU affinity for a specified process. Usefull for older games that don't support multithreading. Possibly to improve performance in CPU bound games.

• Set CPU affinity for a specified process to improve performance.
• Automatically calculates number of threads on CPU.
• Forces the process to only use physical cores and avoid usage of E-Cores.
• Easy configuration using an INI file.

1. Ensure you have Python installed on your system.

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/RedJohn260/AffinityMaster.git

3. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd AffinityMaster

4. Install dependencies using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

1. Copy AffinityMaster.ini, AffinityMaster.py or AffinityMaster.exe in your game directory.
2. Configure AffinityMaster.ini file with the desired settings. The file should have the following format:

   [config]
   wait_duration = <wait duration in seconds>
   exe_name = <name of the executable to manage CPU affinity for>
   start_app = <0/1 to specify whether to start the executable with the AffinityMaster script>

3. Run the script using Python or AffinityMaster.exe:

   python AffinityMaster.py
   

Not every system will benefit from this script. There's nothing to troubleshoot.
