MAMEWAH config questions

subcriminal:
I just found this thread looking for a solution to tripple buffering causing sound problems. It seems that the game specific ini is the only way. I am a bit of a PacLand freak and it is an absolute pain for tearing. WaitVsync just causes the game to pause while it waits for the sync, triple buffering fixes the problem 100% but when playing pacman or donkey kong I get sound buffer overflows which can be seen by running mame from cmd and using verbose output.
It only seems to be the vertical games where the triple buffering causes sound buffer overflows. Weird.
Sorry if I've bumped this old thread back up but there must be other people who've had this problem.
Is there any way of generating multiple game specific ini's like you do with the res tool? I'd like tripple buffering for horizontal games but don't need it for vertical games. :notworthy:

I am not sure about using AVGA, but supposedly the new beta (1.62b10 is current) supports game specific ini files.

What I'd real like is to know if there is a magical tool for lazy MAME users running full sets. I'd like to generate an ini for each horizontal game with the triplebuffer 1 switch and triplebuffer 0 for all vertical games ;) It's just MAME specific not hardware related.

You can try my Resolution Tool - this allows you to do things like this...

I see what you mean now! So where you double click a game in the list to view the ini file details I need to add the -notb switch and apply it to 'all games of this orientation'. That right?

Doh. That didn't work. mame doesn't recognise the -tb switch in the pacland.ini and uses it's mame.ini. :(
I have two filtered lists in mamewah, could the mame-1.ini be modified to run mame.exe -tb and mame-2.ini be modified to run mame.exe -notb? I cant understand the readme with mamewah that tells you about the emulator command line format.
