Title: Disable multi-threading permanently on MAME 0.161
Post by: synnchan on July 09, 2015, 01:53:35 am

My MAME version of choice is the official 0.161 build. I have a mame.ini on the emulator's folder with two options enabled:

>video ddraw
>window 1

Those two options makes all games run on direct draw and windowed mode. Now I'd like to know what I should write on mame.ini to disable multi-threading on games permanently. I'd also like to know how to disable "wait for vsync" and "triple buffering".

How to do that?

First run "mame.exe -createconfig" on the command line. That will put all the defaults options in the mame.ini  file.  Scroll through the file, you'll find everything you're looking for!

That options are disabled by default.

Wow! Thank you very much, I didn't know of this trick. It made my life much easier. ;D

That's good to know. I thought those options were enabled by default. Thanks. :)
