Title: Screen Ripping
Post by: crashwg on December 25, 2003, 08:27:54 pm

At least I think that's what it's called...  happens alot on mame side-scrollers, like a scrolling diagonal line that goes up the screen when the screen is scrolling

Is there a way to fix this?

That's the VHold I believe it's called.   Something to do with the Vertical refresh rate.  I think there is an option in mame to fix this, however it requires a performance hit.  And I think there is a build of Mame to take care of this sort of problem too.  Called VMame or something I think... I'm not sure.

If I understand correctly I think this is usually termed 'tearing' - try enabling triple buffering and/or vsync to fix :)
