if you disable it, the game runs as fast as it can.

Thats what I thought.

however there still is the "frameskip" which should be set to 0 to avoid those "bumps".

Not sure I agree with you on thisthere. frameskip is 0 and self-explanatory - the "bump" is not a skipped frame, its a problem mosty visible on smooth scrolling games, where there is a difference between the screen refresh and the original games screen reresh. e.g. dragon ninja - horizontal scroller - 57Hz. Running mame at 60Hz, you can see a bump every few frames as it scrolls..?
Anyway, I need to look up what difference triplebuffer makes and why it stops tearing as I think all the "sync to vertical refresh" options are rather important here too....

I think it's like she said at the end, Silver. That's the reason for Advancemame. By the way, did you notice the ATI update in my thread?

Oh, I agree there is always a tradeoff...
...It's just that it currently sounds like soft15Khz+ATI card allows for unlimited number of custom modelines. Which is basically what advancemame offers, except that advancemame calculates the perfect one for each game. Simply creating a few at varying frequencies, alongside the 60Hz ones, should be a pain free way of removing both the jerky issue and the sound issue in one go?
SailorSat:
or just use cabmame or mameuifx which include a simple yet fantastic "hack" that fixes the sound.

Ok I'll take a look. Can't see cabmame anywhere, though mameuifx pops up easily enough - I notice that you are credited with the sound/audio hack. Out of curiousity what is the change? Or - why is the audio/video not synced in regular mame?
Obviously won't fix the scrolling jitters though.
