MAME v124 'LAG'??
« on: April 01, 2008, 05:24:33 pm »
Hi all.  I just installed, compiled (with 1.11) and loaded up my v124 Rom set..

Now, since I left v123, MAME is massively lagged out.  Games that ran perfectly are now slowed, music and sounds studder, the works.

My PC has not changed, nor has anything I can detect other than MAME v124 being installed.

Anyone else seeing this sort of thing?

((on a better note, got my LCD TopGun today and it seems to work well.. needs some tweeking, but at least it works))

** UPDATE **  v123, the version still non-updated to v124 in my cab, works fine.. no lag of any kind.  I know it's got to be MAME v124 as the cab PC is nearly 1/2 - 1/3 as powerful as the main system that is lagging now.

Did you try an official release binary before blaming 0.124 or only your own compile?

Since I tested v124 on two different systems, one with a complete compile and one with only the lastest source file, I don't think blame is the issue here.  It's about finding out what's wrong.

From what I can gather;
You did not try an official binary on the exact same machine as your compiled version to discern whether or not the lag problem only occurs with your compile, or if it occurs with any 0.124 executable on that machine.  I suggest that as a first step in finding out whats to blame wrong.  An similar alternative is trying your compile on a different system.

I guess it's no big concern.  I have no issues with the install of v122 or v123, so I'll just revert to those forms.  I don't really see anything in v124 that makes me go running after that release.
