Title: Spy Hunter still not working on 0.146u1
Post by: lettuce on July 05, 2012, 03:23:36 pm

Im still unable to get Spy Hunter working in GroovyMAME 0.146u1, it just seem to lockup at the info screen as soon as MAME loads. Task Manager still lists the program as 'Running' however!

Ive attached the log file

It works fine for me with GroovyMAME 0.146u1.

I'm using the following setup...

Windows XP x64
ATI Radeon HD 4550
CRT_EmuDriver Catalyst 9.3
Hantarex Polo 25 15KHz arcade monitor.

Looking at your log, it appears that you're using an Nvidia card.  I assume you're also using Soft15KHz, correct?

I think the Spy Hunter issue is due to the -redraw patch implementation interacting with multithreading.

Unfortunately it works fine for me here too so it's difficult to target the issue.

lettuce, try disabling -multithreading for this game and see if this fixes it.

Bingo!, work like a charm, thanks!

Yeah im not using a traditional setup, im using Groovymame with a LCD TV, Nvidia card and powerstrip, so im not getting the full blown benifit of Groovymame.
