GP-Wiz40 Lag?
<< < (2/2)
tron84:
I use a GP-Wiz40 in one of my setups & never have had any lag on it.  It has been used for a few different Mame builds 147,148,149 & have the 150 build on it now. Play the classics Dk, Pac, BurgerTime, Galaxian, Galaga etc along with the moderns.  No lag on it whatsoever & it is a nice interface, would get another in a heart beat.
For 147 & 148, I was using MameUI , MameUIFX
For 149, Mamepui64 & Mameui & then went to Mamep64 cave build using GameEx FE, which is what the 150 is running also. I have used & tried the binaries 149 & 150 of mame w/ GameEx. Never had any lag on the GP-wiz. I have it on Win7 64.

Have you had a chance yet to try it on a different monitor or the crt tv you were saying about?

Not yet, but tonight I will be testing it out.  I cannot recall what version MameUI32 I am using, but I am also running a Win7 64bit machine with a 3.2Ghz Core 2 duo, and an 8800GTS graphics card.

Ok, let us know because on that setup you should not have any lag on some of the games.
In mine, I have a AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE 3.2Ghz 8gigs ram & just a GeForce210 w/ 1024MB ram. I have two monitors connected (hdmi & DVI) to the vid card & sometimes both monitors are on when playing mame, in mirror mode & no problem.  I just have the other monitor feet away on my game setup. So no they are not side by side, if wondering why is he playing the same game on mirrored monitors side by side  ;) :D
So as Randy has already pointed out, it is seeming like it is that TV that you are using causing the problem. Hopefully you get the kinks worked out. :cheers:

So I tried a few things.  What I did was moved to using just Mame and not MameUI32, and I also tested the computer out on a CRT TV.  I then tried Galaga, and the lag was gone.  Come to find out, it is because of vsync, and nothing related to the controls.  I haven't tried triple buffering or anything else yet, but I read a lot about the issues people were/are having with some games with different lag times, Galaga being one of them.

Looks like it's more testing for me to get this working right!
