Try disabling -multithreading.

That didnt help, infact it made it worse, it now runs at 3% lol. If i disable HLSL in mame.ini it runs fine, i am also using the newest hlsl folder as well

Oh God...

I guess the new changes in HLSL may be the cause. Anyway, if nothing helps, probably -triplebuffer will fix the speed, althogh the scroll won't be smooth.

Hmm, with multithreading enabled and triplebuffer, its says its running at 100% speed but the game is still choppy as hell  :cry:

Ok i found the cause of the problem, it would appear setting hlsl_prescale_x  & hlsl_prescale_y in the HLSL settings to 5 is the cause of the issue with GroovyMame, anything over 3 causes issues!. This is strange as in ManeUI64 the exact same setting allows me to have hlsl_prescale_x  & hlsl_prescale_y settings at 5 without any issues??

Hi lettuce,

Thanks for finding the issue. Confirmed here, although setting the hlsl prescale values to 5 makes it crash instead of breaking synchronization as in your case. It seems it has to do with SwitchRes' internal management of the -prescale option. If you force -prescale 1 in command line it doesn't crash any more.

Can this be fixed in later updates?

I'll see what can be done, however the bug is probably on the HLSL side, as this didn't crash before.
