Trying to turn off HLSL in vector games
#299029 - 11/15/12 02:40 AM


OK I am using the lastest version of mame and have HLSL enabled in the mame ini. When I start a vector game I get graphic glitches and want to disable this for vector games. I tried to create a ini for the driver say cinemat.ini but can't create one. My question is how do I disable the HLSL for only the vector games? I know this is the problem because when I disable it for all the games it works. When I enabled it it messes with the vector games especially when you go in the tab and try to change the slider I get graphic glitches.

I read this thread but still no luck

2.3 Triggered by: -hlsl_enable on the command-line or an entry in your MAME.ini: "hlsl_enable 1". This will allow you to use settings in your MAME.INI file or use the Slider Controls to adjust your own look. You can use the command -hlsl_ini_write allows you to save your adjustments. To reuse them, you must use the command -hlsl_ini_read which will, by default, load an .INI file located in HLSL using the setname in question.
EG: MAME sf2 -hlsl_enable -hlsl_ini_read will start Street Fighter 2, enabling HLSL and looking for a saved settings file called "sf2.ini". Further, you can manually make .INI files, by using a driver name EG: "cps1.ini", as well as particular settings depending on monitor orientation EG: "vertical.ini" and "horizont.ini".

Thanks

I can create a mame ini using C: mame -cc. I would just like to create the 14 vector souce ini so I can disable the hlsl in their ini's.

Example cinemat.ini
asteroid.ini
segag80v.ini
aztarac.ini and so on for just the vector games.

I tried mame -cinemat.c and get error unknown option. Tried the following also to create an ini.
mame -cinemat.ini
mame -cinemat

I get error all the time.

Thanks

Use vector.ini.

Hmmm I tried it and no luck. It just goes to a game not working but I went in the tab anyway and changed stuff and it just makes a cfg file not a ini.

C:\mame> mame vector.ini this is what I typed.

- Create a file "vector.ini" in your "INI" folder.
- Edit "vector.ini" and add the following line:

hlsl_enable 0

- Save.

Done!

Just run the game as normal - MAME will look for vector.ini for you and make the command adjustment automatically.

Sune means to create a vector.ini text file w/ the single line to disable hlsl. I don't have the command in front of me at the moment.

[Edit: haha, jinx!]

LOL but I'm having a hard time creating the vector ini file.

I don't want to run it through a command line. I want to use a frontend for mame.

I just tried to copy the mame ini file and rename it to vector and some what fixed the problem but when I go in the tab menu and try to select input game or anything else it locks up and crashes. So that didn't work lol

1) make a copy of your mame.ini file
2) re-name it vector.ini
3) open vector.ini and delete the entire contents
4) type the following single line...

Quote:


hlsl_enable 0



5) save the file

MAME will use the vector.ini file automatically if it exists. You don't have to specify it from the command line or anything.

You can do that - but just leave the line or lines you need. Not sure why you'd crash though.

If you still have trouble, use this attachment

OK I tried it and it works now thanks everyone. Just one note on this. I am running mala fe and works but when I launch regular mame exe with the built in ui and choose a vector game the graphics are perfect but once again when I try to go in a tab setting it crashes but not when I do it running a frontend like mala. Not sure why it does this but I don't use that anyway.

Thanks again

Sounds like a bug in baseline MAME. You might want to report it on MAMETesters.
