Title: Daphne nohwaccel option in MAMEWAH?
Post by: rdowdy95 on January 10, 2007, 06:18:22 pm
Hey guys if I have time tonight I was going to be setting up my Daphne.ini file for MameWah.  I was wondering.  Could anyone tell me about this -nohwaccel option that goes with the commandline_format.  I know it means nohardware accleration.  How many people here use that in there Daphne is it better to be on there or off.

Far better to have it turned on if you can.... It uses the HW Acceleration of your video card to display the video it generates. It's like the difference between playing a DVD on a PC with and without HW Acceleration.

Okay I am definately not putting that in the ini file then.  So I guess by default the HW Accel is left on.  How about Nodosbox and no safelaunch are thsoe good to have in the ini?

I really like the feel after I launch a Daphne game from the Daphne loader.  Do those have the nosafelaunch and nodosbox thing going for those too?

Ooops... sorry missed your reply.... Re: nosafelaunch and nodosbox

Not sure about the nosafelaunch one.... never really paid it much attention. But the nodosbox thing works ok. It stops it running in a dosbox.   You know when you start a dos program from your desktop and it opens in a separate window but not exclusively at full screen. Well that option stops that from happening and makes it run as a full size exclusive screen instead.
