Hey guys, I know Cave is kinda a nono subject here but I wanted to bump this to help others.....thanks goes to the Shmup MAME freaks over at the Shmup forums.
Just for giggles I loaded the cave games having lag on an oc'ed i7 3770k build I just did, same thing. Slowdown with actual game performance (f11 benchmark testing). I knew something was now up. Has to be a config problem.
Now I also noticed how my vertical games were not scrolling smoothly on my cab at 640x480 (a seperate issue that has been bothering me lately). I'm using an lcd mintor, yet on Coinops for my Xbox all vertical games were scrolling smooth as silk.
Even when I screwed with vsync options it made no difference...until someone on the Shmup forums suggested to turn throttling OFF, but synrefresh on and have that handle the throttling. The vertical scrolling choppiness is now gone on vertical games, and the performance drops I was experiencing on MuchiMuchi Pork and Espgaluda II are now gone! They run flawless smooth now.
However, the one thing I had to sacrifice was...multithreading needs to be turned off if not the games run too fast with throttling off no matter what vsync options I try, but to be honest I have tried alot of heavy hitting games and they have not dropped in performance with Multithreading off. What I might do is for games that need it make a seperate ini file for them to have multithreading on.
