MAME running to fast

[Maximilium]

Hello Peps:

 

Noob question:

I just recently installed HyperSpin, trying to set up the games on MAME, when I test, they all play too fast, I have a different MAME install and they run at normal speed, any advice?

 

thanks.

That is a problem with the mame.ini file. If the versions of your 2 mame setups aren't that far apart it would be quickest to move the working one over.

Otherwise you will have to mess with ini settings which may be a sync issue. 

Remember to back up you ini files first.

The second version of MAME that works is the MAMEUI64, very different from the one I downloaded with the package. I will check the MAME.ini file to see whats the difference, I already reset to default and still not fix the issue.

check to make sure you don't have sync to monitor refresh enabled.

I check, both enable and disabled still doesn't make any difference, even editing the ini file directly.

And you've tried deleting the ini file and starting from default?

Do you ROMs match the MAME version?

You send me on the correct path to fix this issue, thanks.

 

On the mame.ini folder there is 5 different configurations, Deleting mame.ini didn't fix the issue, it was when I deleted vector.ini, horizont.ini and vertical.ini that fix the speed but screw up the video set up, 

Using Notepad++ with compare plug in I found the difference between files, the CORE PERFORMANCE OPTIONS need to be the same on all files:

#
# CORE PERFORMANCE OPTIONS
#
autoframeskip             0
frameskip                 0
seconds_to_run            0
throttle                  1
syncrefresh               0
sleep                     1
speed                     1.0
refreshspeed              1

 

Once I edited the files with Notepad++ speed problem was fix.

Maybe look at this also ignoring the bgfx line.
