Ok guys, I just did the first test run on the supposed-to-be cabinet PC. As suspected, somewhat serious lag is introduced with teh activation of HLSL. I used this in the mame.ini for a start, and I have to say it looks really good to me: --- Code: ---# # DIRECT3D POST-PROCESSING OPTIONS # hlsl_enable 1 hlslini hlsl hlslpath hlsl hlsl_prescale_x 0 hlsl_prescale_y 0 hlsl_preset -1 hlsl_snap_width 1920 hlsl_snap_height 1200 shadow_mask_alpha 0.100000 shadow_mask_texture aperture.png shadow_mask_x_count 320 shadow_mask_y_count 240 shadow_mask_usize 0.093750 shadow_mask_vsize 0.093750 curvature 0.050000 curvature 0.050000 pincushion 0.050000 scanline_alpha 0.600000 scanline_size 1.000000 scanline_height 0.700000 scanline_bright_scale 1.500000 scanline_bright_offset 0.600000 scanline_jitter 0.000000 defocus 1.500000,1.500000 converge_x 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 converge_y 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 radial_converge_x 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 radial_converge_y 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 red_ratio 1.000000,0.000000,0.000000 grn_ratio 0.000000,1.000000,0.000000 blu_ratio 0.000000,0.000000,1.000000 saturation 1.050000 offset 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 scale 1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 power 2.200000,2.200000,2.200000 floor 0.020000,0.020000,0.020000 phosphor_life 0.200000,0.200000,0.200000 yiq_enable 0 yiq_cc 3.597545 yiq_a 0.500000 yiq_b 0.500000 yiq_o 0.000000 yiq_p 1.000000 yiq_n 1.000000 yiq_y 6.000000 yiq_i 1.200000 yiq_q 0.600000 yiq_scan_time 52.599998 yiq_phase_count 2 --- End code --- So this means a new GPU has to be obtained and I hope this will do the trick. ??? Other than that, the PC should handle the whole emulator thing fine. At least it runs MAME games without issues when HLSL is turned off. Or should I try to get a cheap new PC altogether (something A8 based or so... there are offers starting from 300 bucks)? |

As i already mentioned, some of the HLSL effects really drain while others are not as brutal on GPU load. A new mame setup may help but you are still going to need a decent gpu to go along with it. :( |
