Robotron

[vader]

Running Mame32 and robotron is running like a banshee, any way to slow it down....my frame skipping is 0 and fps is 60/60.  Tried auto setting to no avail, any help is appreciated

did you make sure throttle is checked in the properties?

[vader]

Yes Sir I did     really driving me nuts cause I really enjoy that game

What version of mame32 are you using?  If you can use the latest, I will do the same and see if I get the same problem.

you don't have vsync enabled or anything similar.  (I think its vsync... might be named something similar).  This makes mame run the same fps as your monitor... Not as fast as the original game.  So if robotron original ran at 50fps, then youve just jumped it 10fps (about 15% increase).

Next.

Robotron is very hard.  It was a Zen or twitch game.  It also sucks on larger then 19" monitors because you need to see everything at one shot..  Anything larger and your missing stuff in your perifial vision.  I use the bezel for it just to decrease the size.

But play it 10 times in a row... and see if you can slip back into the zen of robotron.  It helps if you say "OOoooohhhhmmmm" while playing.
