Disable multi-threading permanently on MAME 0.161
« on: July 09, 2015, 01:53:35 am »
My MAME version of choice is the official 0.161 build. I have a mame.ini on the emulator's folder with two options enabled:

>video ddraw
>window 1

Those two options makes all games run on direct draw and windowed mode. Now I'd like to know what I should write on mame.ini to disable multi-threading on games permanently. I'd also like to know how to disable "wait for vsync" and "triple buffering".

How to do that?

First run "mame.exe -createconfig" on the command line. That will put all the defaults options in the mame.ini  file.  Scroll through the file, you'll find everything you're looking for!

That options are disabled by default.

@h0tw1r3

Wow! Thank you very much, I didn't know of this trick. It made my life much easier. ;D

@haynor666

That's good to know. I thought those options were enabled by default. Thanks. :)
