View Full Version : MAME scrolling issues.

I just got a new monitor and I'm trying to get MAME looking good on it. It's an LCD that pivots and when I play a vertical shmup, the scrolling is very rough in games that should be smooth (Dodonpachi, for instance.) I'm not as knowledgeable with the settings, so what should I try tweaking to improve the scrolling?

What kind of LCD? I got a Samsung for the same purpose (vertical shmupping). I ended up buying a program called (IIRC) "Pivot Pro", mainly so that the Windows desktop would be vertical as well as MAME. I have not had any scrolling issues, but I'm not too wild about the washed out colors.

Enable triple buffering and vsync.

I'll give that a shot.
Kid Ice, I got a Viewsonic which came with PivotPro. That much is cool.

VSync for the win.
Triple buffering I usually enable for good measure, but on a less graphically competent machine like my "Compaq" (really HP) tower, I don't know how much it would help given that games more advanced than Neo Geo stuff tend to tear and stutter (sound-wise).
