Is this what you mean? Thanks. |

Is that working really well for you on a PC monitor? When I tried this, it certainly got rid of the tearing, but it made the games really jumpy (I think because it drops frames on each refresh cycle or something like that) which bugs me more than the tearing. Just wondering if there are any other settings I should be using along with it or any settings on my monitor that might help. Failing that, I think I'm going to give Cabmame a shot when I get my cab going again. Out of all the choices - screen tearing, jumpy games, sound stuttering, and sound pitch shifting, I think the pitch shifting would bother me the least, all the other stuff just drives me nuts! :dizzy: |

It depends on your PC's speed, version of MAME and the particular game. V sync tells the screen renderer to "wait" until the monitor is ready to draw the next frame. If your PC is too slow, the next frame refresh on the monitor might have already started, which then means the renderer is waiting an extra frame. In this case, you're better off tolerating tearing, rather than losing frame rate. Just turn on frame rate (F11 ?) and judge for yourself. OH and don't forget that various other things like special graphics filters, triple buffering, etc, etc adds to the processing, so if you want V sync, but lose frame rate, maybe try disabling some of those other extras first. |
