Title: Wave/Ripple on screen, only with movement??!!
Post by: apocalypto on June 23, 2011, 04:05:04 pm

OK Guys, what do you make of this?

I have a MAME PC Setup.

My monitor has a wave/ripple in it, but ONLY when there is movement on the screen....

For example, games in MAME produce a wave/ripple. Video snapshot playing in Mala produces a wave/ripple. If I scroll to a game in Mala that does not have a video, there is no Wave/Ripple.

Here is what I have checked:

• B+ is at 108 exactly.
• New filter cap is installed
• Deluxe Bob Roberts Cap Kit is installed
• I'm pretty sure everything is grounded up correctly.
• The power cable has a ground prong

It only happening with movement on screen just has me stumped!!

Any ideas??   :dunno

screen tearing?  The refresh rate of your monitor does not match the game.  That is my guess

But it's doing this in Mala, which is just a windows program.
