CRT Emudriver Disable VSYNC?
« on: December 26, 2017, 06:00:31 am »
Hi guys. I use my groovymame pc mainly for shmups, but there are also some other shmups I'm playing besides the mame stuff and for some of them the input lag with vsync on is unbearable.
I was wondering how i could disable it. I have an amd apu with the 16.2.1 video drivers from calamity.
I tried to download the official driver package Non-WHQL-64Bit-Radeon-Software-Crimson-16.2.1-Win10-Win8.1-Win7-Feb27, but this one doesn't let me install radeon settings without overwriting the display driver.
Does anyone have any idea?
Maybe its somehow possible without installing a whole package, cause vsync off would be the only thing I need.

Just run the driver package and once it unpacks files, cancel the installation. Then browse into this folder:

C:\AMD\Support\Non-WHQL-64Bit-Radeon-Software-Crimson-16.2.1-Win10-Win8.1-Win7-Feb27\Packages\Apps\CN\CNext\cnext64

Double click on ccc-next64.msi, that will install Radeon Settings.

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.

Thanks calamity.
I could install Radeon Settings but my HD8400 / R3 seems to ignore the Global VSYNC OFF Setting completely.
Oh well...guess MAME has to suffice then.
