I have a real machine in my basement and I rarely get over 50K on it. --- Quote from: dzorbas on June 25, 2012, 01:48:14 am ---Any luck with this? I'm running 0.141 and I'm seeing the same behaviour in both Centipede and Millipede. It's a little frustrating. Not that I was fantastic at this in the arcarde but I could easily get to 100K without much effort. I'm barely hitting 50K now. It's been a while since I've played on a real machine. Are you running the revision 3 ROM for Centipede? Thanks, Dino Z. --- End quote --- |

Really? Then maybe my memory is failing me. its been a long time since i've played on real machine. My current high on my MAME cabinet is 86k. I guess I should be happy with that. I'm sure I could do better if I could get rid of the lag in the firing button. I'm going to load up some older versions of MAME and see if it makes a difference. I played it on a multi-game cab yesterday at a local part supplier and there was no lag. I will report back when I get a chance! DZ. |

Okay, so I tried Centipede on various MAME releases (0.055, 0.120, 0.130, 0.140, 0.141, 0.143, 0.146) on my cabinet and they all displayed the same behaviour with the lag in firing. I'm running 32-bit XP on that machine and have a 3" Happ trackball wired through an Ultimarc Mini-pac. I started wondering whether it was just that machine so I tried playing on my laptop running 32-bit Windows 7 using the built in mouse. Response seemed to be much better so I hooked up my control panel to my laptop. It seemed the more I played, the worse the response got. At one point I deleted the nvram file and response seemed to get better again but then worsened. Is that even possible? So basically, I'm not sure where that leaves me other than still frustrated. This is all seat-of-the-pants testing but I know that I'm not imagining things. Anyone else have any suggestions? Could it have something to do with the Mini-pac? Perhaps the drivers being used? Thanks, Dino Z. |

I actually can't tell the difference between the real machine in my basement and my mame cabinet (3" happ trackball). I have never noticed a firing lag. |

I know that I'm not imagining things and it seems that I'm not the only one who is experiencing this. What setup do you have on your MAME cabinet? I understand that there are so many variables at play here but I'm willing to give anything a shot. Boy would I love spend some time on an original machine! Thanks, DZ. |
