--- Quote from: Ansa89 on February 06, 2012, 10:02:37 am ---Some news: I compiled kernel 3.2.4 and upgraded xf86-video-ati to 6.14.2 (from 6.14.1).
Now a lot of games (BubbleBoble, MetalSlug 1/2/3/X, and others) run at about 300% speed, so they are unplayable.
As I wrote before, now "mslug" works (3 times faster than original speed).

This happens when vsync hardware functionality fails or is not available. GroovyMAME relies on vsync enterely in order to keep the game throttle. Does this happen just to some games or is a general issue??

Ansa89:
Galaga seems ok, so I think this happen only with some roms.

When GroovyMAME is able to create the game's native refresh (mslug, etc.) you get this kind of log:


--- Code: ---SwitchRes: Setting Option -nothrottle
SwitchRes: Setting Option -refreshspeed
SwitchRes: Setting Option -waitvsync
--- End code ---

However, when GroovyMAME is not able to generate the right refresh, which is the case of many vertical games rotated (galaga, etc.), then vsync is disable and -throttle is used instead. So these games cannot be considered.

A buggy v-sync only affects the first group of games (most).

Probably the combination of the new ATI driver, SDL, etc. is not working fine.

Note that now there are a lot of "device ':' adding ..." strings.
This is strange and could be related to mame upgrade 7 (?), or is it only a trip?

Hello I am doing a new live it bases in archlinux, and the problem on that you comment of the speed I pass, if you touch f10 the game it works to his correct, but this speed is not the solution, in archlinux had to install the package ati-dri, with this package already all the games returned to work correctly.
Verify that version of mesa/dri has in his system and updates, since the problem is not groovymame, it is the new driver.

 Regards.

Ansa89:
I think we can exclude SDL.
IMHO the problematic software could be (one or more of):
- X server
- xf86-video-ati
- mesa
- linux kernel

I will downgrade xf86-video-ati to 6.14.1 and come back to old problems.
