Rally-X .....flicker on monitor....HELP!!!

[MAME nut]

I've got a problem when I run Rally-X (all my other games run fine).....I get a slow rolling line that goes across the screen every couple seconds.  Is there any way to manipulate the setting to eliminate this??

this is called tearing.  try setting your monitor refresh to 60hz.  If that doesn't quite do the trick, set the game so it synchs with monitor refresh.

As a newb, can you fill me in on WHERE I made those changes??

Thanks,

I'm using Windows 98SE with Mame and Mamewah.

in your mame.ini:
refresh 60

to sync a specific game to the refresh, start game like this:

mame rallyx -syncrefresh
