The NEW Build Your Own Arcade Controls

Hello, I've recently switched to Groovymane 183 on a low lag LCD 1080p monitor.
I'm having an issue with every game I try where speed stays locked at 98%, sometimes jumps to 101% or 97% and when this occurs the sound pitches either higher or lower. This does not happen with other builds such as arcade64, vanilla mame, etc.
On the GM.ini the only changes I have are
Monitor_Type LCD
Video D3D
Frame_Delay 1
What's causing this?
-
hi, does this problem occur if you load a game using groovymame which is a 60hz game?

Hi, not sure but the games I've tried that do this with are:
Alien Sector
Alien Syndrome
Aliens
Altered Beast
Galaga '88
I think they are 60hz games.

what operating system are you using, windows 7?
ps. i'm guessing you did a quick test with setting frame_delay to 0 just to see if there was any difference?

Yes I'm on win 7. It does it on Win 8.1 too on my laptop.
Yes I tried it with no frame delay. Makes no difference.

did you follow a guide at all, when getting set up, eg, a step by step guide, if so could you post a link to the guide, thanks

also, do you know how to generate a log, when you run a game
if you could do that (any game is fine), and attach the log here with your post, that would be really helpful:

How to create a log:
If you're experiencing any problem or odd behaviour regarding GroovyMAME, please create a log and post it when reporting the problem. This will provide us with critical information beforehand and will save us from asking you to post a log. Bug reports without a proper log will be ignored.
Steps to create a log:

No problem, cab is off for the night. I'll get you a log tomorrow.
No I never followed a guide. I asked a few months ago if I could utilize groovymame to lower input lag even though I'm not using a CRT, Calamity responded sure, just set the monitor to LCD and use d3d9ex builds.
I read the user Haynor reporting the same exact problem I'm having at the beginning of the Groovymame thread. Calamity stated it had something to do with timing code used in C++ and that he/she sorta fixed it with newer builds but my problem almost sounds like something set wrong in the ini.
Regardless I'll generate a lot tomorrow for you guys to look at. Thanks for the help so far :)

he :)
cool ok, yep get the log posted to be on the safe side and increase the chances for the experts here to get you all fixed up ;D

Hello again. I don't know what happened, but I created a new mame.ini before attempting a log and the issue has seemed to go away. Strange but it's fixed.
Something might of been off in the ini.
