Can someone explain (or guide me) on Mame video emulation?
orchidius:
Computer specs might be the issue, do you have any info on that?

... Isn't that thing enormously overpowered unless you're inventing ps3-emulation? o.O That thing costs more then my entire cab will cost... ànd it's better then my current gaming rig o.O
I doubt it's the LCD refresh rate, but have you got any info on that?

There are only $400 worth of parts in my main rig so its not too hard of a hit on the wallet. My guess is that with no frames lost something is set incorrectly in Mame or it needs an update on the video driver.

Tell me if I am wrong....
If the game is running at 100% with no frameskipping, then the computer is not the issue right?
The LCD monitor is not 'ghosting' so it can't be the monitor right?
Should I try and post a video of both to show comparisons?
Thanks...
Haze:
for things to be perfectly smooth the monitor refresh rate must equal the game refresh rate *perfectly*
most modern monitors have a fixed native refresh rate and resolution which will not match that output by the game, this will result in non smooth scrolling (or in this case, ball movement)
MAME can slowdown / speedup the emulation to match the refresh rate of the monitor, but that will cause the game to run at slightly the wrong speed (and the sound pitch to be slightly off)
older style monitors were more flexible, and could often display different modes, but even then getting Windows to use the correct mode wasn't always easy.
it's a problem to which there is no real solution, it's a limitation of modern technology that's either going to cause some scrolling artifacts, or your games to run at the wrong speed.

Does CabMame help a little?
