I changed Resize to no, Color to bgr16, Resize Effect to no, Rgb Effect to no, Vsync to no, SMP to no...

[edit] the above seemed to help a bit, but it's still draggin' a**

where do I find out about double_buffer?

Thanks,
Rock

S.T.U.N. Runner - Working  :o

you're not going to believe why...  I tried elvis's settings - that made things better but stunrun was still sluggish.

I just happened to plug in a USB Mouse and keyboard today instead of the normal PS2 mouse and keyboard.  Stunrunner was glorious!  It took a bit to realize the USB might be what caused the operational behavior.  I swapped the USB keyboard for a PS/2 keyboard and rebooted - still worked.  Swapped the USB mouse for a PS/2 mouse - broken.  Swapped the PS/2 keyboard for the USB keyboard and left the PS/2 mouse plugged in - still broken.  Swapped the PS/2 mouse for a USB mouse and we're running at full speed again!

So I deduced that the PS/2 mouse driver must be hogging CPU cycles to a degree that dragged emulation down.  That seems pretty crazy to me.  Any ideas why?

thanks for all the help guys,
Rock

whammoed:
did you have both an analog control and mouse active for that game in advmame.rc?  If so try setting device_mouse none
and see if you can keep the mouse plugged in.  Don't know why the ps2 vs usb mouse would make a difference though...
