GM Coin problems & Desync
« on: May 15, 2015, 04:02:47 am »
I have all the setup ready for my cab what's missing is the removing of keyboard :) Well i have several coin problems..

-Unable to add credit to pgm cave games as well others on pgm..I have default add credit mapped on stick up and pressing start however this does not work on some pgm titles i have to remap add credit to another button which is not ideal because i'm trying to remove kb from my setup right

-So far affected are ketsui and Espgaluda and other pgm titles as The Gladiator and Demon Front

-Also i can add credit to Galaga but i'm unable to start the game i have to remap start button for it to work ??

-And as for Desync i have observed that in my vertical cab there are games which are throtled or fast forwarded ??

-Affected are Tiger Heli, Seibu games as Raiden Fighters and some cave games all of them exhibit to extent running above 100% speed which is again not ideal ??

Any suggestions ?? Thanks

Those games works with freq below 60 Hz (57 Hz, 55 Hz etc) so when you are synctorefresh have enabled and promoted resolution with 60 Hz those games will slightly faster because of jump from xx Hz to 60 Hz. To get rid of this enable multithreading in groovymame.

Since you are running those games in vertical mode you are forced to use resolution with 288 lines which is only possible at 50 Hz.

Hi there

Pardon me bit i hope i follow you :)

-I have set up multithreading to 1 in mame.ini it does not solve the problem i'm not sure how does it work or it should help ?

-Syncrefresh to 0 in mame ini by default

Still can't fix the speed problems Twin Cobra runs at 200% speed no matter what i do ?

As for coin problems anybody ?

I can't help you on the coin issue.

The speed problem probably happens because you enabled frame_delay with a too low value. That option needs to be set per game, not as a general value in mame.ini.

Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

Well that's a pity to hear that frame_dalay needs to be set per game...As we discussed in another thread i have set general value of 1 what kind of value i have to set for Twin Cobra so it doesn't run 200% speed it's kinda hard to experiment when i have it in cab..Also how do i set per game frame_delay ?? In the ini or how ? Thanks
