So I just got an Arkanoid machine and I noticed how smooth the ball travels. So I booted up my Mame machine and it is not the same. I am using an LCD monitor with an Nvida graphics card. So the ball on my Mame machine will travel smooth for a little bit, then it looks jagged or ghosted, then looks smooth a little again and the cycle continues. So I am assuming that this is caused from Mame trying to stretch the screen to fit my LCD resolution. Is this correct? Do I fix this with an ArcadeVGA graphics card? Thanks for suggestions....

You might like to provide info on the MAME rev, computer specs, video card specs and monitor res so someone can give you a good guess. I don't think an arcade vga card will help you since you are running on an LCD. Sounds like a case of underpowered CPU. I just checked my mame arkanoid and it ran well on my computer. AMD quad core, 4GB DDR2 ATI 4770 video, Windows 7 64 Bit Mame rev 0.132. |

(A search may show the real issue is likely that) Arkanoid used a geared spinner (as does Pole Position), which makes for a more detailed tracking. |

Running at 100%, no frames lost. I am not talking about the controls but the actual ball moving on the screen. It's jerky. Mame version 109. Thanks, Southpaw |
