I'm Getting Stuttering Sounds On Newer Mame Versions
<< < (4/6) > >>

I thought of that so I went into my task manager and removed anything from memory that wasn't neccessary. That included firewalls and antivirus programs. Cleared almost everything. Retried the game and the same thing. Works for a few minutes then the framerate quickly decreased to like 4fps.

And I know I don't have spyware or rootkits. I just reformatted my pc not so long ago. Before I reformatted it also ran pretty crappily so I thought it had to do with spyware and other things. But after reformatting, I quickly retried mame, and it was the same thing.

-sorry to jump in, but i have gone thru everything that has been listed so far with no luck..except for this last one, im just curious now.

GameEx sends command line options to Mame, and I would guess it's something to do with that. This is a very common issue. If it happens in Mame32 also, that means it's an option you have there also.

Usually changing -dd to -d3d does the trick. You can try Mame32 first by going into the display options and changing DirectDraw to Direct3d.

I tried changing direct3d to driect draw on both the mame32 and regular mame. Same thing.  :'(

Another thing to try is update video drivers, and I have seen some cases where changing out the sound card (instead of using a built in one) fixes the problem. If updated video drivers don't help, grab a cheap Sound Blaster card and disable the built in audio...

I tried disabling the sound on mame and it still does it. I did some even more investigating and found out that NBA Jam also has this problem. The bad framerate problem. RIght now, the sound stuttering is really not something I'm concerned about. The games I am having a bad framerate issue with are as far as I know...

Gekirindan
MK2
Elevator Action 2
NBA Jam TE

Not really sure about MK2 but I do know that NBA JAm didn't used to have this bad framerate problem that also goes for Elevator Action 2 and Gekirindan. Not sure what the hell is causing these games to work like crap but its really annoying. And this is happening on earlier versions of MAME where I know this games used to run smoothly. At least none of the street fighter games have this problem.
