I didn't like it at the beginning but since every TV/ arcade monitor is cabable of displaying 768x224 it's not a problem.

Another issue found: Soul Calibur runs either at half speed when in Interlace mode or twice the speed when in non-interlace mode.

Not sure if this happens in regular MAME as well.

EDIT: the strange thing is that while in attract mode or at the beginning of a round, the speed is correct, only when the round starts the speed goes twice as fast or half.

EDIT 2: ok, it's a bug in MAME, found the bug ticket in their tracker. Nevermind.

On a scale of fakeness, from more genuine to more fake, we'd have:

1.- Plastic plants (cf. Fake Plastic Trees)
2.- Inflatable dolls
3.- Arcade cabinets with LCD monitors

Hello!

I would like to report an issue about the game pac-man. I am using groovymame .149 with an ati radeon x600. All in all the scrolling is very smooth

but I noticed that in the game pac-man - the character sprites and also the main character sprite which you move in the game has got some kind

of "microstutter" i.e. the movement is not smooth. Does anyone know if the original pac-man has got the same issue? From videos on the internet

I can tell that the characters have got smooth movement. I also noticed this issue in Donkey Kong when you move the main character. It is hard to

describe - the movement of the character is not "sharp and spot on" but in a way blurry and not precise. I can tell the difference in the game pac-

man because there is a pac-man speed up hack - and in this version when pac-man moves faster it is spot on and there is no micro stutter in it.

You can also see this issue in Bagman and SuperBagman - where the motion of the character is not precise.

Does anyone know why this happens - is it caused by input lag that groovy mame cannot exactly sync to the motion of the character?

If a game runs at its native refresh and syncrefresh is enabled it will be as smooth as the pcb was. Please read the first post in this thread and always attach a log to your posts reporting issues.
Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

Hi!

New to here.

I want to report a save/load state error of GM.

To reproduce this error, start a game, e.g. mslug, save state A in the start point, then advance till encounter a helicopter, beat it.

Then, load state from A, and advance to meet the helicopter, beat it again, and advance a bit, GM will eventually crush.

Other games will suffer from the same error, e.g. kov2 I tested.

I use mame64.exe -cc to create a mame.ini, and not modify it except lcd. I tested on two computers of mine, one had a AMD 7850 and one had a GTX 960, both crushed.


I have no idea why this error will produce, it's not in official mame. Guess it's a save/load route error.

Hi there,
First I'd like to thank Calamity for his huge work to make groovymame a reality.

I'm posting here because I noticed a strange behavior when running kungfum or spartanx (basically the same game).
Regarding groovymame's job, resolutions/frequency seems to work as it should.
Issues are on the audio part. Sound samples seems to be very low in volume and the music seems to crackle.

Same game, ran on regular mame have a much clear volume/sound track.

I don't believe that the log dump will give any advice. I made it anyway. I've seen lines concerning the audio driver but nothing like any error or so.
If someone could confirm this issue...

Thanks a lot.
FKY

You are comparing groovymame 171 vs mame 171 ?

Some time ago discrete sound has been added and cause a serious performance drop that's why on some configurations sound is choppy.

Sound issue has nothing to do with performance drop making that caracteristic warped record sound, if it's what you are talking about.
And yes I used 171 version of groovymame and regular mame.

That might be problem with syncrefresh. A slightly more power is required to run groovymame that regular mame especially when You are using frame_delay option. From time to time I can hear it also on my arcade PC with G3258 4,2 GHz.

Dicrete emulation is really demanding for processor power.

I'm having a problem with Golden Tee Fore running to fast in groovymame as if it's not throttled. Everything else is running fine. Any Suggestions. I am using Groovymame 0.171

When running through Hyperspin, Zookeeper starts and then gets distorted and seemingly errors out and doesn't play. CPS2 also failed to launch.

I was using:
-GroovyMAME versions .172 through .178 I believe with the same result
-CRTEmu_driver 2.0

***Update***
Using GroovyMAME .180 fixes the Zookeeper issue with Hyperspin. CPS2 games are still canceling out after the nag screen. Elevator Action is not launching.

As you see I no longer bother asking for logs. I explored the path of moving posts to a purgatory thread but it involves even more time from my part.

I recently noticed the requirement to post logs along with issues, and will do so with any similar future posts. Thanks

Done : I have made a tgm2.ini file with resolution 320x240 and now works properly. Thanks

The blue screen on your TV probably means it doesn't accept the input frequency. This would make sense because tmg2 is outputting 61 Hz (beyond NTSC). However, if forcing 320x240 fixes the issue, then I must be missing something.

Albeit not an issue specifically with GroovyMAME, does anyone know what's the state of emulation for wait states on CPS1 and CPS2 hardware?
On a scale of fakeness, from more genuine to more fake, we'd have:

1.- Plastic plants (cf. Fake Plastic Trees)
2.- Inflatable dolls
3.- Arcade cabinets with LCD monitors

I'm getting a weird error with GM 0.183 and Salamander 2. The game works OK with mainline MAME 0.183 on my PC, but with GM in my cab, one of the ROMs fails the boot test as BAD, and the machine reboots and repeats. I copied the romset from PC to cab, so they are identical.

EDIT: It's sorted now. I had an NVRAM save that was from an older version of GM. Deleteted it, and now it's working.

Hi All, hope everything is well with you.  I am running GroovyMAME 0.157 and I'm having a weird issue with how Scramble and Super Cobra's shots look. The display I use for these games is a 15KHz 20" Trinitron 600 line PVM flipped on it's side (in vertical/tate/portrait orientation). The video/audio and joystick input are all running smoothly and synchronizing fine.  Also the "bombs" drop and look normal and the player's ship animation is fine on both as well. However when you press the fire button they are both shooting yellow vertical bars out in front that look like this --> | | |  <-- instead of the usual small dots ...

(see "Scramble_wierd_shots.jpg" for reference)

If I run "standard" 64-bit MAME 0.157 on the same exact partition/mame dir with it's own "-cc generated" mame.ini and use the CLI settings recommended by Ultimarc (using AVGA 5000, a modded ati 5450-1GB and Win 7 64-bit drivers from the CD that ships with card) the fire for the Scramble jet (and the Super Cobra helicopter) look the way it's supposed to.

(see "Scramble_normal_shots.jpg" for reference)


Anyone possibly know why the players shots appear on the screen so differently in groovymame than in regular mame64? Just very curious about it, otherwise the games play fine.  Thanks in advance!

Joseph-122

Here is the screenshot with the normal looking shots in mainline 64-bit MAME 0.157

Command Prompt (Ultimarc recommended) command used for reference in mainline MAME:

"mame64 scramble -video ddraw -switchres -nohwstretch -nothrottle -triplebuffer -nomt"

Airbuster (stuttered scrolling)

Airbuster has a stuttered scrolling at my configuration.
I'm using a multisyncmonitor and win7 with an ATI HD5450. Can it be a problem, because Gunbuster runs native with 57.4 Hz?

Your card is HD4xxx, not HD5xxx. You must run GM with administrators rights when using pre-HD5xxx cards in W7.

Sorry for the late answer. The reason is the "frogger/galaxian" patch that was included in previous versions of GM. Modern versions won't show the problem.

I don't see anyone else complaining about Carnevil online, so my guess it's somehow groovyMAME related, but the game runs way, way too fast. It's so fast that even the audio is high pitched. I noticed the same issue with the Golden Tee games during FMV cutscenes.

I was just wondering if there were any way to fix this.

PUNISHER - CAPCOM

Hi,
yesterday I tried to play punisher using groovymame 0193 version.
I must specify that I only played with player 1.
When reached some points in the game, the game went crazy, hearing a audio fast forward and a video switching to window and minimize, forcing to exit mame and switch back to 640x480
I also tried version 191 and 192 with same results. Only playing with player 2, at least juste a while seems to avoid the problem to occur.
stock mame 0.193 also shows that something happens (flash on screen) but it doesn't force to exit and allow to proceed playing.

It's quite simple to reproduce, just go to first boss and start to launch bomb (jump then B1+B2), the glitch should occur.

As I'm not sure if it's a mame issue or a groovy consequence, I submit here for opinion.
log file doesn't appear to show anything, but I provide it.
Windows 7, HD5450, d3dex groovymame.

regards.

I have the same problem with Carnevil... or similar
The gameplay speed seems fine, but the audio sounds high pitched.
I still can't post the log file because I don't have my arcade cabinet here, but I can share the whole information of my drivers, video card... and also share a video here of the issue.

I've attached the file carnevil.txt with information of my system.
Here's a video of the issue:




UPDATE: I've attached the log of the game (carnevil2.txt) !!!
             I have named it as carnevil2.txt  because I already attached a file called carnevil.txt with my system specs.

carnevil.txt = my system specs
carnevil2.txt = the log file of the game created with mame - v

For Carnevil, create a specific ini and set:

Code: [Select]
autosync 0
triplebuffer 1

Default syncrefresh configuration breaks this driver.

Thanks man !   
Could it have any relationship with this issue of the game emulation?

Sorry if they were mentioned somewhere but I couldn't find the following reported;

Are Nebulas Ray and STV games known to cause issues with frame_delay ? I'm seeing drops in perfomance no matter the setting even @1, but they're fine on plain d3d9ex when f_d is off.

Doubt my i5-4690k would be a bottleneck , but possibly my R7 260X is too weak... or it could be something else entirely.

I'll post a couple logs later today anyway.

EDIT: probably false alarm for STV, it's just that my pc insn't strong enough to push more than f_d 2 with that system, logs with fd_0 and fd_3 attached, but 2 is fine as far as I've seen.
For nebulasray though I'm not sure power is the problem, just fd_1 without even any vsync offset crushes it, logs attached too.

I don't understand why Mame team does not ensure that all NEOGEO MVS, CPS 1, 2 and 3 games and 90's games work perfectly before emulating other systems...??? I'm thinking about background bug in MOTW Terry's 3rd stage for exemple...

Scratch what I wrote yesterday, it seems that rather than issues with frame_delay, it's just that a bunch of the more demanding systems can't work at a stable full speed even with only f_d 1 because my R7 260X processing is significantly weaker than my CPU anyway.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means when frame_delay is off most of the workload is for the CPU as in 'normal' MAME, and when it's on it switches to the GPU ?

EDIT: of course for those more demanding systems I still have d3d9ex minimizing the greatest portion of unwanted lag so no big deal, they all work flawlesssy with it. I wonder though what magnitude of GPU might is required to use some levels of frame_delay with even those heavier ones (STV, gnet, playstation hardware, etc)

Not exactly, but somewhat true. Frame delay still requires a big, even higher stress for the CPU. But for frame delay to work well it's also critical the time it takes for the GPU to render a frame, while this is secondary without frame delay.

Try this: instead of having your desktop rotated as you have it now, set the orientation back to landscape (even if your monitor is rotated vertically, mind your neck). Then run groovymame with the -orientation rotate_r or -orientation rotate_l options.

I seem to remind someone reporting that a rotated desktop setup caused poor performance.

Just tried that and I must say it only made a very subtle difference, a small gain in stability, but the games still crawl in places with even just f_d 1.

Later as I've planned I will retry a number of things with my GTX 750 Ti (which I seem to recall allowed me to push many games to f_d 7~8, while the R7 260X is more 5~6 tier on average.
Also I've just found a brand new R7 360 (unused but refurbished b/c of damaged package ) which is only a refreshed/boosted/rebranded plain 260 but it comes with OC'ing potential.

Not like benchmarking GPUs for frame_delay on flat panels will build a reference database, but it's somewhat interesting for realizing that sort of behaviour I'm experiencing here is not a bug or something like that, rather it's only showing where the ceiling is for one's hardware in that kind of configuration.

Seems they are taking rewards lately for "issues" submitted through Bounty Source:

https://www.bountysource.com/teams/mamedev

So if they need the motivation (and they obviously do -- the aforementioned Garou glitch, for instance, makes of MAME the only NG emulator which doesn't run this game properly after all these years), there's that now. Hopefully this gets at least as popular as Retro Arch's Patreon and we can see some progress on drivers which seem to be long forgotten because they're "good enough" (and the devs start getting some well-deserved money in return).
