DamnedRegistrations Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 if anyone here has a decent or good PC, could you do some testing? Won't take you more than a minute. I'm having problems with vids playing a bit choppy and jerky most times they load in HS, it's mostly with 60fps videos. I recorded some footage to show. Watch in fullscreen and pay attention to the right side in comparison. Notice how it appears a bit laggy and almost out of sync? Is this normal performance in HS or something? I spend so much time doing artwork, I never pay much attention to HS itself. https://youtu.be/D2Ga7Nv4EJk So I've tried everything I can think of to fix this, from a fresh Windows install and everything. This problem is less apparent with 30fps footage but it's still there sometimes, other times not. No anti-virus running, no windows defender or any junk processes in the background. I keep my rig tidy and updated. Everything outside of HS runs fine for me. The videos play perfect in media players too. So I don't know what else to do. I have an old secondary PC but it's useless to test with because it can't handle 60fps videos anyway. So I need some help here. My main Hyperspin PC specs: i5 4670k 4.2ghz AMD R9 290 8gb DDR3 Ram Samsung 840 SSD Win 7 64-Bit So as you can see from the footage, the choppiness is most obvious when viewing Sonic the Hedgehog footage since it's fast moving. So please grab the 60fps I did recently for Genesis and Sega CD if you don't have them and test those. Jump around a few systems and come back to Genesis and Sega a bunch of times, tell me if the video ever plays jerky like that for you.

ninja2bceen Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I can barely tell a difference and probably wouldn't have noticed anyhow. The jerk happens on the turn right Tapatalk signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedRegistrations Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 The whole video on the right side is a bit laggy and jerky if you compare it to the left, it's especially noticable at full screen. Sometimes it's even worse and more choppy when it has no reason to lag. It's certainly not playing at a smooth 60fps like I'd expect it to. Is this really normal for HS or just something everyone overlooks? Even tested with older versions of HS like 1.2 and 1.3.3, and it's the exact same performance.

Mark Norville Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'm not going to watch that again, the only thing that I didn't do was stand on my head. It looks fine to me. You cannot really compare a video software with hyperspin, hyperspin will probably be using more processing power than windows media player.

DamnedRegistrations Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Do I really have to post even more footage? Fine, here it is at its choppiest. If this doesn't look like lag to you, then I don't know what else to say. https://youtu.be/9vzBO0l20bg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Norville Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 lol sorry but if it makes you feel better, I just tried on mine and compared to yours, it looks as if your sonic is running backwards lol I haven't got Hyperspin on this computer as yet, and not going to boot up the cabinet, but I loaded Sonic with Fusion 3.64 and my frame rate was 58/60 it looked pretty much the same as yours and I am on an i3 with on board graphics and 4 gig of memory. I will boot up the cab tomorrow and give it a test but hard to notice a difference in those videos. Regards Sonic I have just watched the video on a 60 inch screen sitting about five foot away, and a couple of times during that video it looked as if sonic had slowed down and done a turn but still carried on forwards, I am not sure if that is what you are referring to? One was near or on the ramp, and the other time was just about getting into the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedRegistrations Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'm not asking about emulator performance, I have no issues there so no need to test in Fusion or anything like that. I can run PCSX2 games at 8x render if that's any indication and the reason why I'm bothered by vids being jerky. So this specifically has to do with how Hyperspin displays videos, and the choppiness I'm experiencing is most noticable with 60fps vids. It may be hard to tell when just checking Youtube footage which is why I asked if people could test these main menu intro vids in their own setup and see if they experience it too. I'm not sure if you'll be able to tell with your cab though if all you have is onboard video. No offense. I'm looking for people to test with dedicated gpu's and such.

Mark Norville Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 No offense taken old chap, but with my cheap on board graphic card at least my Sonic can beat yours in a race lol I see that you design wheels, so you would be doing a lot of close up artist work and staring at a screen a lot of the time, so your eyes could be tired and it depends on your age as well. If you haven't already have your eyes checked as I have spent most of my life on computers and at 45 I struggle to read text on my iphone as you say though it is harder to tell from a youtube video mainly because unless it is glaring obvious the human eye can miss a lot. I am now going to console my cabinet just because she doesn't have a dedicated graphics card, that is on board graphic card snobbery that is, good job I won't report you to the admin Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedRegistrations Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Again you're not going to be able to tell with onboard graphics, the difference in how 60fps appears with proper hardware acceleration on a video card is entirely different. When testing on my old PC with onboard Intel video, I couldn't see any jerking either because it isn't performing nearly as fast overall and is barely handling 60fps video as is. Onboard struggles with HS as a whole so it's not the best to test any kind of performance. Thanks for checking though. Doesn't anyone here have a gaming PC or equivalent to test with? If so navigate through some systems for a minute or two, especially check any 60fps menu vids. As I said, the issue can be random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubZero Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I tested it, your video runs fine in my setup it isn't choppy at my end. it is choppy in the video you posted though, i run an i5-2400 4gb ram,don't know my graphic card exactly but its a HD radeon 4500 series if i am not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedRegistrations Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Radeon 4500 is quite an old card and I don't believe it was even meant for gaming, crazy. Thanks for checking though. It's starting to look like this issue only effects highend specs which is bizarre. An r9 290 and overclocked 4670k should more than handle this setup. Then again HS was made with actionscript, right? Adobe isn't the best when it comes to performance and optimization. Even Flash vids on Youtube have issues with current-gen Intel cpu's and dropping frames which Chrome has been trying to fix as everyone is pissed, yet they play fine on old AMD cpu's. Oh well, I don't think it can be fixed then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedRegistrations Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Ah okay, thanks. Well I seem to have fixed it for the most part anyway, or it's at least doing it much less frequently. I set Hyperspin.exe in compatibility mode for Windows XP since it predates modern OSes anyhow. Main menu vids don't seem to be dropping frames nearly as often now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
