Blitz and golden tee fore stutter...

[bcgamer]

Hey guys

Mameuifx .175
Windows 10
8gig ram
2gb amd Radeon 240 graphics card
i5 processor 3.2ghz

And blitz is still unplayable.  Golden tee is crazy sound stuttering ...Can someone throw me a bone?  I've seen guys running old dual cores running these titles without issue??  Must be some certain settings dialed in?

[DarthMarino]

Switch the resolution dip switch on Golden Tee to low resolution. I think Blitz might have this option too.  Try the regular MAME UI or turn off any special effects.

Yup that was the first thing I did in the dip switches
My settings in mameuifx are stock, nothing fancy...
What's the diff between mameui / fx?

They were almost certainly running older versions of MAME.

The newer the version of MAME, the more accurate the emulation, and the more horsepower you need to run it full-speed.

You may also have processes running in the background that are bogging the system down. (Windows Update, virus scan, etc.)

MAMEUI adds a graphical user interface.

MAMEUIFX adds a graphical user interface and these other features.

Not sure about v.175, but on my cab running plain v.146 MAME, HLSL prescale is a big horsepower suck.  I had to reduce it to 1 for Blitz.  Even had to reduce it on some classics that have discrete sound.

I tried running v.170 and anything remotely 3D was unplayable because of my old budget processor (3.2 Ghz Athlon X3). Not just sound skips.  Like so slow the game might as well not be working unplayable.

Can you set glsl to be off for just certain games? Maybe that's what's slowing it down too, I'll check the mame Ini, but can you tweak those settings per game?

[bcgamer]

Mameui seems to be doing better
How do you enable to choose glsl filters?

Opengl/bgfx tab - OpenGL settings - all 7 boxes are greyed out? I'm looking around to see what I can do to enable them...I moved my glsl folder over to the mameui folder...would like to enable it but how do I get access to the greyed out boxes so I can tick "enable glsl"

Sorry I meant arcade64 0.177
