-syncrefresh and -refreshspeed settings
#327004 - 06/15/14 04:32 PM


What's the difference between these 2 settings?

From the MAMEworld guide:

"-refreshspeed - With this option will match MAME's speed to your monitors refresh rate to prevent sound hiccups and smoother scrolling if you have had problems."

"-syncrefresh - Speeds up a game to your monitors refresh rate which can help smoothness on certain monitors or graphics cards. This option may introduce crackly or stuttering sound."

One says it can help with sound glitches, the other says it may cause them. I'm confused. I don't mind running games slightly faster/slower than they should be, but I'd like smooth scrolling and no sound glitches, if possible. What settings should I use?

Thanks.

P.S. I use -waitvsync, too.

Just start using GroovyMAME and let it automatically figure out the right settings for each game on the fly.

I have tried GM but ran into trouble getting it to display some games and artwork correctly. I've been meaning to have another stab at it, though.
