Sound stuttering only at 320x240

(1/3) > >>

Hello,

I am using Groovymame with the soft15k patch.
I noticed that the sound stutters every few seconds. This happens only with games at 320x240.
All others games run fine. I have the soundsync option enabled.

Any idead what could cause the problem.

Thanks for your help

Calamity:
That's very weird indeed, there's no reason why 320x240 should be worse than others... something else must be going on, please send me a log one affected game, as it's explained here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113382.0

Hi Calamity,

here is a log of Dynablaster.

Calamity:
Hi blagger, thanks for the log.

You're running a very old version of GM (12o), get a newer one: http://mario.groovy.org/GroovyMame/WindowsATIDrivers/

Older versions use to disable -soundsync if refresh was somewhat close to target, that doesn't happen now.

BTW I'm seeing you have the Soft-15Khz mode table installed: many games won't find a perfect resolution with that table... if you see the log of Dynablaster it's looking for 328x240 but can only find a suboptimal 336x240 resolution.

Something more: you're using INIs, you must not use them with GM!!! See how GM is recalculating 336x240 but due to the ini it's picking 321x240 instead, so the recalculated modeline is never used!

Thanks for your answer.

I just deleted the ini file for Dynablaster and now the sound is ok.
Can I delete all ini files in the ini folder?

BTW I have 2 cabs, one horizontal and one vertical. I have both monitors connected to the dual output of my graphics card. In windows I run the clone mode. I remeber that when I tried your drivers a few months ago there was a problem with the clone mode. That's why I use the soft15 patch, since it supports the clone mode.

Thanks for your help

PS: I just realised that the games on my vertical cab are running in the wrong orientation, that is horizontally. When I use the ini file everything is ok. How can I tell groovymame to use vertical orientation without using ini files?
