| please help! - jerky mame with arcadevga - SOLVED! |
| (1/2) > >> |
| Jimbo:
I've tried quite a few games now (mame 0.116) and I'm getting a small jump/jerk/flicker every 1 or 2 seconds. I've uploaded a short video of it . After the first wave of 2 or 3 baddies if you look at the bottom half of the screen (in the rocks) you can see what I mean (every 1 or 2 seconds). My specs are: - Asus P5B Motherboard Intel Core2Duo 2.4ghz 2GB DDR2 RAM ArcadeVGA2 PCI-E SB-Audigy Sound Card. WinXP SP2 Even with the jerking I've not noticed any stuttering of sound. I'm using the following settings in mame 0.116: - hwstretch 0 video ddraw waitvsync 0 syncrefresh 1 triplebuffer 1 switchres 1 tried setting priority to 1 and sleep to 0, and also tried waitvsync 1 but it has no effect on the jittering... Any ideas? Its a fresh clean system (just installed). I've tried stopping various non-essential services and systray apps but nothing seems to have any effect! Please help! Thanks! |

screen resolution size? |
| Jimbo:
Hi northerngames... What exactly do you mean? I'm running the games at their native resolutions (320 x 240 @ 60 Hz in the case of Rastan). I'm using the AVGA card connected to an LCD currently, but will move to the arcade monitor in the cab once I've set up everything. Am I missing something? Thanks |
| northerngames:
can a lcd even support a res size that small? that is why a arcae moniotr is good becuase it can display low res images that vga and such cannot. |
| Jimbo:
fixed it. turns out the juddering was caused by me using a DVI to VGA adaptor when testing the AVGA card on my PC... when I plug the VGA cable direct from card to arcade monitor its fine. :) |
