I've fixed the "screen tearing" problem I had on my Arcade monitor by turning Vsync on on the mame.ini file.
I also have made the changes below as suggested (in red).
Now I'm having like a "jump" in the sound/music from time to time, and it's pretty annoying. I have it on every game from Frogger to SF2. If I turn off Vsync the sound is perfect.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem it will be very helpul.

What are the specs of your machine? vsync might be too much for it. Triple buffering fixed tearing issues for me without enabling vsync.

I'll try just triple buffering as you said and post if it works for me.

Those are pretty good specs. I wouldn't expect any performance problems. If there's still noticeable tearing with just triple buffering, you might want to try waitvsync and triplebuffer. Disable syncrefresh because it may affect the game emulation timing.

It works only with triple Buffer as you said, screen tearing is gone and sound is good.
thanks for your help TalkingOctopus!
