who's playing Sega STV games at full speed on their cab?
<< < (6/6)
DGP:
Please do not assume to be the only one that knows and understands the topic at hand.

I understand lag perfectly and have measured it many times with various display technologies, I have run the test and have 'no lag' that can be detected with the simple testing methods.

Shockingly I am also running MAME on AMD hardware (CPU).  :o  It also runs Blitz and Ridge Racer at full speed, just the normal audio emulation issues.

I am somewhat of a video purist and have been for many years (I am DaGamePimp on AVS forum). ;)

Exactly what tests did you run, which specific games, and what MAME build.
DGP:
For lack of variables I ran the test that was mentioned in this thread.

I tested Radiant Silvergun & Cotton Boomerang but can test others that I have, did not figure there was a point in testing Die Hard Arcade (hehe).

I am running a custom MAME 143u6.



Obviously the results will vary by display type/tech as well as the connection method used (so there are many variables to consider).

Usually you'll see less lag on a RGB/VGA connection due to less processing unless the display has a GAME/PC mode that disables most of it.

If using an LCD it is best to send the native resolution of the panel.

The most obvious and visible sign of a lag afflicted display is mouse trails (watch the pointer).

What is your custom build?  What I'm getting at is, if it's compiled from the vanilla MAME source, you've done something wrong.  I don't think even think ShmupMAME registers zero frames of lag in that test.
DGP:
It's not my compile, it has several tweaks and the main reason I got it a while back was for the hi score saves.
