Keyboard press lag, have the gods forsaken me?
releasedtruth:
I'm going to load up the ol laptop here with a few games and mame setups, plug in the CP and give it a go. It's a lot faster than the mame machine anyway. I kept playing through the retardedness and hit another sweet spot there for a while. I'll get dos mame snd give that a go.

Is this computer going to be used strictly for MAME? If so... I'd roll back your OS to something faster (and more stable, IMO) to like Win 98 SE.
releasedtruth:
Yeah, this is a MAME/Daphne/Hotd/Mad Dog McCree only machine. As long as I have full USB/Lightgun/video card support, I may just think about going back in OS time a bit. Tonight I'll test the laptop. What I don't understand is why it worked for a while, then not, then back to working. If it 'always' fails it can be diagnosed so much more easily. Hopefully this fiasco will someday help another lost soul.

leapinlew:
does it do it just sitting there? Or is it only when your playing?
Have we ruled out a bad ground?
releasedtruth:
It's only the joys/keyb that's the problem so I can only notice it when actually playing. I've checked all the wires/grounds and if it does it with an unrelated ps/2 keyboard, it just makes little sense. I was told there's a problem with Direct3d and keyboard lag sometimes so I'll switch to DirectDraw tonight and check. Who'd have thought there'd be so many options to diagnose.... I was using mame with defaults before so now that I'm in MAME32FX I need to toy with their settings. I really like how mame32 displays though, just as an aside.
